I made a power box in my living room while watching ice team videos on YouTube

Nice work! Very similar to the Dakota lithium power box.

I went through a fuse box with an inline fuse to the main power. Also going to add two LED waterproof lights as soon as they come in and solar charging when that gets to me.

I fish overnight on Chautauqua usually 24 hours. With my aqua vu camera and showdown then my lights etc I will always have power. Also use it around house in emergencies. Like the blizzard we just had.

New clips for the planer boards, new line and a bottom bouncer bag, a few crankbaits. Yeah...might as well start getting ready to boat the Walleye. Ain't no ice around these parts. Probably won't be either.

I cast for a bit once upon a time, but I didn't enjoy spending 4 hours making enough bullets to shoot one hour to keep at it, though.  :roflmao: I just went back to buying 'em.

It was 50° and calm here a couple days ago, so I put a bunch of test groups I'd cooked up so far this winter to paper.




I do love an old 99, Looks to be a Utica gun.
