They dig down in the muck and sort of hibernate to some degree.

I'm sure it's very cool.

No not me!

Next time.

You are welcome!

Hope you are doing well Dave!

Yes, thanks

Will do, thanks!

Yes, good idea and you do have some great walleye fishing down there.

I don't have any knot vids, sorry. Usually I will set the bobber so the bait is about 12-18 inch off the bottom. So if your casting into 36 inch of water, set bobber at about 24 inches from the hook. You kind of need to have some idea the depth your casting to. Use enough weight to help your casting distance and to make the bobber easy for the fish to pull down. Scented plastics will work sometimes. It depends on the kind of fish and the mode of the fish. Aggressive fish might hit anything, but negative fish may need that real bait. I hope this helps. I should do a video on getting set up start to finish for this kind of fishing. Thanks for watching and thanks for the idea.

@KnettersPracticalOutdoors Thank you for the reply! I'm planning on fishing at a pond in a park that's within a town nearby me, so it's probably not going to be too deep. From the bank of the pond could I use my rod to get a rough idea how deep it is?

I was wondering if someone would mention that! LOL!

That's only my second turtle.

Yes indeed!

Thanks

Not always, but it can't hurt.

So far so good!

Thanks for coming

Sounds great!

Great point!

No, I was never at one. Where is it held? I actually got the Tee at a thrift store. Looks like a great time!

@KnettersPracticalOutdoors it is in Sauk City/Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin Aka Sauk-Prairie. There's a beer tent, so yes, it's a good time😂. I grew up a block away from where it's held, so I went a lot as a kid. I haven't gone in many years now, though. It has gotten too big and popular for my tastes. But it is interesting and unique, and there's always the beer tent!

@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors also that was a cool thrift find! You just never know what you might find...

Yes maybe another month! Thanks for noticing and thanks for the kind comment!

Yes, I've been checking in on your channel from time to time, keep up the good work. KZbin has it's ups and downs, but at the end of the day if you have good content it will get noticed. The algorithm doesn't lie!

@KnettersPracticalOutdoors unfortunately the stuff I'm least proud of does the best. I have a plan, though.

They are!

Please don't quit. It's probably more a issue of finding the right areas to fish. Most of the videos you see on youtube are people fishing at good spots to catch fish. Check with people at a local baitshop or sporting goods store. Or maybe even the local DNR office or chamber of commerce. Some one will have some good fishing spots they will share with you. And they may even have some advice on how to catch them. Stay with it and let me know how it goes.

Thanks 👍

This video may help also. kzbin.info/www/bejne/faDPin-fr7SWpdk Any place is a good place to ground so long as it has continuity throughout the trailer.

Got it

You're very welcome!

LOL!

You got that right!

cool

If you have a good connection at the leads, I would say it should be less than a couple of OHMS.

@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors thanks?

Yes, I have mentioned this before in deer processing videos, that I make no claims to the health safety of using cardboard. I also don't claim to know the science behind what you are saying. We wipe the cardboard down with food grade alcohol but that probably doesn't fix everything. Maybe it's a terrible practice to use cardboard or maybe it's more like the dyes/sweeteners/MSG/nitrates in some of the food we eat. None of them are good for you, but they are in our food. I know they say not to even burn cardboard because of the formaldehyde in it. Again, I don't claim to know the right answer. I have been eating fish and venison that was cut on cardboard since I was able to chew food, but maybe it gets me in the end who knowns? Maybe I should look for a better option.

The plastic bags are probably coated in PFAS for the anti-stick properties. Fast food containers have it too, as does some floss. Dupont and 3M will get us one way or another. I hadn't heard of the formaldehyde though. Thanks!
