    Big Bass On Ultralight and A Cold Swim

    Thought you guys might get some laughs from this one. Few fish catches but the unexpected swim is the main reason for the share. 38 degree water is abit chilly for sure. Thanks to those of you who follow my channel and if you haven’t give it a look at Mike Foster Outdoors.

    Twitch that lake is about 15ft in deepest spot. I always make my kids wear lifejackets in the boats but normally I do not when in the small boat. I wear them in my bass boat however. Think from now on there will be some throw cushions in there at least.

    Your missing the safety clip on those seat clamps. A few years ago when i bought those clamps they were in the box from basspro, I used self tapping sheet metal screws.

    http://www.cascadedepot.com/jon-boat...p-safety-clip/ (only picture i could find)

    The better fix is to put in standard bases on the jon boat benches.
