A Bearing Blaster is nice if you have bearings packed in grease. I always soak them in acetone and then a final soak in alcohol before reinstalling.

I would pay to see them live.

T-good for the win = 8

I looked to these boats a couple pages back. Really nice feature set.

I know quite a few manual laborers and food service workers that found work from home type of jobs and they are not going back.

This isn't really a specific bait, but a favored technique when they're finnicky: https://www.bassresource.com/fishing/dropshot-bedding-bass.html

I thought eels were a thing there?

A very large portion started work from home jobs, many of which pay very well.

I often strike a conversation. If the person seems friendly enough I ask them if it's okay to see of there's a biter under the dock. Most often, they are thrilled if you catch something and then let it go. Maybe I inspired them to learn to fish.

I think you're in the wrong month...

I had five or six of various flavors, including the Megabass Alphas Ito Ai. Perfect little reels.

I dropped an Alphas on the concrete front steps once. Bent the frame. Bummer.

Not without tearing it apart.

Get seat time in several boats if possible, even if it's just on the sales floor. If you have a demo day close by that would the most ideal. Until you've put the time in on the water, you can't really say. I've been in a quite a few SUPs, fishing and not. I actually fished from one before they were marketed as fishing vessels. They aren't an ideal choice for most waters that are accessed by motor boats. If you're accessing backwaters or mother shipping, they might be the ideal vehicle. I don't know of ANY actual rollovers with sit on top kayaks. I would fall off my Compass before rolling it, and reentry is not difficult at all. I'd say the hardest reentry was with my Commander, but that was a hybrid kayak/pack canoe design. While strongly urge EVERYONE to practice reentry, falling out is such a rare occurrence. I only know of two people in my circle that done it in the past two decades.

The alliterative angler.

You kind of are. What you suggest won't fix anything and only make it worse.

It wasn't that long ago it was closed. The director of Region 5 will have to retire or something before they open up. The official reason is that populations aren't strong enough to handle the fishing pressure. Oy.

It's 60 and sunny. Snow predicted Sunday.

Learn to back reel lol.

Shoot man, glad you're gonna be okay.

Right, some just toss the fish in a bucket and fillet them later.

Euphoric recall.

I set them to an X pattern (4 on) and leave them.

Probably just need to pull the stand pipe.

P. 65 in the guide I linked above has the details. It's definitely off limits until 3rd Saturday in June around Clayton.
