Thanks Sam. You are very right, that's the way we used to do it too. Stick rigs with fixed bobbers, actually our lures haven't changed a whole lot over the years. I stick with some of the classics such as the jem n eye. But wow yeah, we would sit on a bucket in a home made "portable" house, usually made of plywood and tarps. Sometimes a wood fired stove but mostly propane heaters. No electronics (I still don't use them, lol) and I used to take those catch of the day photos like you show above

I have piles of those sorts of photos going way back to our days of fewer kids. This one was probably 5 years ago, I have them going back more than 20 years though, lol!
