JOBU2

Dobyns, but probably my favorite rod of all time was a castaway rattle trap rod that I can't find anywhere anymore. Bait was hanging over the side while I was backing down the ramp and snagged on the dock...snap! Talk about heartbroken!

Cold pizza beats those healthy protein bars any day. Eat anytime you're in a no wake zone, if possible. Gatorade or water to drink.

Lightning, work(gotta pay the bills), and family commitments. That's about it. There's almost always somewhere to get out of the heavy wind (I'm not too proud to fish a pond or creek if need be, though I'd rather be out on the boat)

I love em rigged sideways on buzzbaits. Been very effective for me!

I prefer Maui Jims. I have three pair. Their customer service is great too having replaced one pair for me after the frames broke on me. You can sometimes find deals on Costas also. I bought a few pair for my wife over the years and she loves them.

I have a garage that i keep heated, so winter goes by relatively quick since I'm working on the boat, maintaining the trailer, organizing tackle, and making jigs. I usually run out of stuff to do about March. That last little bit of winter seems like an eternity though. Pretty sure Id have a tough time deciding to do do my preventative maintenance on the boat and trailer if i could just go fishing instead.

Not enough. Work gets in the way. On average I'd say 60 times a year.

Yeah I'm fishing the DOBASS series at Ladue. You?

I've actually been looking for a club too. I live in Mentor. Here's what I found: portagelakesbassmasters.4t Add the dot c0m to the end of that. It won't let me since I'm newly registered. Sounds like the club's right in your backyard.
