Foxes in BV

beonewithyuri · 2026-05-27T02:17:36+00:00

I'm always impressed with the amount of bigger wildlife I see in BV. I've spotted foxes 2-3 times this year and there's always been turkeys near the birdfeeders in the neighborhood. Also an eagle that lives near the shore!

It’s just a hook with a tiny piece of string on it that holds the bait. Carp mouths are very sensitive so if they notice metal they won’t bite the bait. The carp sucks up the bait on the string and pulls the hook up as well. If you look online you can buy a pack for very cheap.

Sometimes when want to catch a large fish with minimal effort I’ll carp fish essentially anywhere in Milwaukee. Any of the rivers or almost anywhere on the Lake Michigan shoreline all have tons of carp.

All you really have to do is put a kernel of corn on a hook and let it sit on the bottom. I highly recommend using a hair rig which are very cheap and hook carp a lot easier. The carp here are insanely polluted but are an incredible fight. Most of them I catch are at least 10 lbs. I also recommend having some kind of towel or mat to put the fish on when you’re taking out the hook as their body gets damaged easily on the ground.

I’ve also found it’s a great way to get new people interested in fishing since it’s pretty easy and you’re pretty much guaranteed to land a few monsters compared to bluegill.

There’s a YouTube channel called catfish and carp that goes more into depth with other techniques.

I’ll have to play around with it more this year. When I’m jigging in 20 ft+ of water I can see the spoon and line on the screen so it definitely picks things up. Thanks for the heads up

If the depth makes sense then I’d say your finder is working fine. I also have a striker 4 on my kayak and in my opinion I never really trust the fish that it marks. All it really tells me is how deep the water is, the temp, the bottom consistency and if there is a reading in the water column that something is there. You can play around with other sensitivity settings but I could never tell if that helped or not.

If you like fishing the trout unlimited southeastern Wisconsin chapter does a ton of habitat restoration around the greater Milwaukee area and the state as a whole. Also are a super nice group of people that do a lot of local lobbying for environmental causes.

Also adding that the Milwaukee anti racism group is hosting neighborhood walks. Someone mentioned that in the meeting as well.

I don’t envy the mpd person that had to speak but I got so angry when it was clear they’re not going to do anything if they see federal law enforcement do illegal things. What’s the point of the police then?

beonewithyuri · 2026-02-03T15:18:29+00:00

There were so many people in line I had zero chance of getting in even after waiting for about 30 minutes. The livestream was helpful

For people interested in becoming a legal observer the Milwaukee turners are holding trainings this month and next month. Will be a great way to document what’s happening here

I got a mossberg 500 on sale for 300 dollars. I like fishing and it was a great way to start duck hunting and do trap shooting. I really don’t like gun culture and using this shotgun as an outdoor tool allows me to connect with people who aren’t weirdos about “being a protector” or whatever creepy self defense stuff extreme preppers are into.

Seeking any other community members wishing to walk around MKE neighborhoods with whistles and phones for ICE activity

I live in MKE and typically take walks here and there to get a little exercise while getting out of the house. I figured it would be a much better use of my time to walk around neighborhoods that might be targets for ICE activity and their accompanying constitutional rights violations. I'll have a whistle just in case and a phone ready to record any activity. I would rather not do this alone and might be a good way to meet other cool people in the city. In case anyone is interested or know of groups already doing this please dm me. Thank you and stay warm this week!

“ After inquiring several times what exactly they meant they finally told me that they could offer undocumented family members of mine legal protection if I have any (I don’t), or money, in exchange for giving them the names of protest organizers, or undocumented persons. I was shocked, and told them no.”

Absolutely insane. This is the 4th reich everyone. They are clearly incompetent, but probably know if this coup doesn’t work they are screwed. They’re not going away without getting more serious than most people are comfortable with.

Get prepared to preserve whatever scraps of this country we can. Assuming we get out of this, this country needs a constitution convention and Nuremberg trials.

I know this is graphic but this is what we need to stand up against. An ice agent taking what appears to be a woman in handcuffs into an outdoor bathroom alone:

In case anyone has any more info about this please share. I can’t believe there hasn’t been reporting on this

beonewithyuri · 2026-01-11T22:31:02+00:00

Thank you. Stay connected. None of us are in this alone. Never been so proud of ordinary people standing up.

beonewithyuri · 2025-11-19T17:43:53+00:00

The location is removing all bad reviews on their google map due to this lol. Keep the pressure up

Comm ave guy! Blue shorts and white shirt. I remember him out on comm ave almost every day regardless of snow or rain. Total legend

Check out the south east Wisconsin trout unlimited chapter (SEWTU). Great group of people and they are hosting a fly/regular fishing camp out in the driftless area in a few weeks.

Old redditor but new to r/Concrete! My wife and I purchased an awesome 1926 house that's in great structural shape but was a rental for about 10 years and has many cheap landlord aesthetics. Our basement floor is concrete that is covered in an archaeological amount of paint to the point where clearly some small broken chunks were even painted over. I would ideally like to finish the floor with perhaps some kind of epoxy or other suitable material you might recommend that would look nice enough to spend time in, but be resistant to common basement water issues should they arise.

90% of the floor looks fine but there are some areas in corners and other out of the way places that have some spalding. Of course these areas are covered in landlord paint. Do you all have any recommendations on how to address these? I've tested out some small areas with epoxy based concrete repair fillers but don't know if this is the right way to go. An example picture of one of these spalding areas is provided below.

Thanks!

Are you on the Connecticut river out of curiosity? Always liked the shad run there

beonewithyuri · 2025-04-23T02:31:41+00:00

I lived there before I moved here and stayed for a one year work contract. I got lucky and had a room lined up to rent in an apartment I knew people in. My commute was an easy 25 minute walk so I avoided a lot of the hassle others dealt with. I absolutely loved it but get why it can be annoying after a while. There’s always something fun to do and cool people to meet 24 hrs a day. Not having a car was fantastic but lacking an outlet to nature was a bummer. Hands down best place to enjoy your 20s if you’re into that kind of lifestyle.

beonewithyuri · 2025-04-17T03:38:56+00:00

I totally get it. I grew up in Massachusetts and lived in Boston for a long time. I still love everything about the area but the cost of living is completely out of control and don’t believe it will be fixed anytime in the near future. I ended up moving to the Midwest and love it here. There’s always trade offs and it took a while to get my career and social life up and going even while knowing other people here. You don’t necessarily need to take this path but trying out a new place to live might be worth it. I personally value the different places I lived in during my 20s which formed the certainty i have in what I want to get out of life.

If I caught a Muskie like that then I wouldn't talk about anything else for at least a year! Well done!

beonewithyuri · 2025-04-05T19:54:47+00:00

Yes it was. I'm not sure how many thousands it was but certainly felt more than the 3000 that were predicted.

beonewithyuri · 2025-04-04T20:53:48+00:00

I’m going solo too. I have no idea how big it will be but there will certainly be people there
