The fact that Flores filed a class action suit allows other coaches to report their complaints which will help strengthen Flores allegations. Of course the NFL has denied any substance to the claims as have the other teams interviewed. Flores had to know that he would never coach again in the NFL with the suit action but decided it was worth the risk.

I started fishing around the age of 10 which was 1958 with my dad & younger brother. We started with cane poles & red wiggler worms that bled mustard when you pierced them with a hook point. So that dates 64 total years.

My last trip from Astor was a year ago. We fished the vegetation mats south of Lake George by about a quarter mile & further south. All our fish came tight to the pads.

Welcome to BR Chris.

Good advice

I don't think bass target them as food. I'll see large schools of them near the surface & never see any bass feeding around them.

Almost all Canadian & American camps that supply guides as part of their package offer a shore lunch daily. They have to feed you anyway & the fish are free to them. It breaks up the day if you need a break and often other boats meet up at a given place to share the duties of gathering wood, cleaning the fish & cooking. Common fare is fried fish, can of beans & corn & onions with potatoes. Always hits the spot.

Check out a Roku device if your tv has a port for it. It might bridge the gap if your tv isn't too old technology wise.

Here is the answer to your question.

There is no wrong way to work a jerk bait as long as your around fish.

Cold front fishing at its best.

Keep it up Aaron. It does get a little tougher the higher you go with that new PB especially over the DD mark.

I use mostly St Crois, Loomis & Kistler. I did buy one Megabass to check them out but was disappointed based on price versus functionality.

Congrats on the DD. Congrats on the DD. Great way to start out the year.

Sure what other option do you have? All fintech methods are going to fall under the same umbrella. The reason most guys use PayPal is because of the convenience & level of protection it offer them above accepting a credit card or check.

I'm 73 and will be 74 in March so that's where my perspective is coming from. I have never consciously been tired or bored of fishing. But my interest has waned as I get older. I find I don't have to fish as frequently as before to satisfy my fishing urges so I rely on hopefully quality outing when I do go. The fact that I no longer have my own boat makes it more difficult to when I want to without advanced planning. Physically I have been blessed with relatively good health except for a cancer scare a few years back. I still get tired & somewhat stiff but can fish all day casting in the heat with guys much younger than I. I always chuckle when I hear younger guys complain about this ache or that after a days fishing. I have learned not to complain.

I have had the two shot vaccine and then the booster 6 months later. So far so good. I have a close friend in his forties that got corvid in the summer and so did his wife & two younger boys had it to but only one child had symptoms. Both parent had the vaccine single dose last fall. Now both parents are sick with omicron variant but the boys are non systematic. So natural immunity from contracting the virus & vaccine immunity has not stopped the spread of omicron for them. Scary.

I prefer a moderate action or moderate fast action for topwater baits with trebles. Mike's advice about using a 3 power fast action is also helpfull. I have a Kistler 3 power medium heavy xtra fast Z bone that I'll use with mono for topwaters because the three power combined with mono stretch is enough give in the system to keep the trebles hooked up. You have to keep an open mind about what works best with particular baits, hooks, line & rod action combined with rod power to fine tune the overall system. Like the old adage their are several ways to skin a cat.

Congrats on the new PB.

I can honestly say I have never been influenced by any pro to purchase a fishing product. I don't really follow pro fishing except for an occasional program because its on when I'm available to watch. If I'm looking for fellow angler endorsements I search out people I know & trust that don't have an axe to grind.

i think your going to have plenty of excitement in your current game.

The quality of the blank is good. I have only used it for 1/2 to 1.5 baits. The blank is rated medium heavy moderate fast as I recall.
