Wishing this little sweetheart a VERY Happy 4th WoofDay! Little KyaKyaKya, aka "little worm", "little bird" & "hide your crazy" has been an exceptional addition to our family since day one. We are so grateful to White Paws German Shepherd Rescue for saving this little Texas stray's life. Sweet Kya, thank you for being such a love-bug, ball of energy, soooo fun & never-ending source of laughs. A-Jay

Despite getting onto Lake Menderchuck early this morning, it took me a while to find active fish. Air temps in the low 40's and water temps in the high 40's are usually pretty prime conditions for early season action. But some very heavy rain yesterday & overnight had muddied up a couple of my favorite go to areas. So much so that after several hours of trying to make it happen there I only had one bass to show for it. Nice fish at just under 5 lbs, but I was looking for something next level. So I relocated and shifted gears. Decided to fish more main lake stuff and leave the dirty water coves & shallow bays to clear up a bit. Ended the day with a 21.5 lb bag with only 4 bass. Tried just about everything I could think of to come up with one more fatty. But it was not meant to be. Still had a awesome day on the water, all be it a bit on the nippy side. Looking forward to the next one. Fish Hard A-Jay

After my routinely thorough warm up, I completed 3 working sets of the 4 movements scheduled for this Workout Day 2. Starting off with Step Back Lunges always get my attention. #borninfiftynine https://youtu.be/EIHmUA8go2s?feature=shared A-Jay

Even though the bass fishing season is still relatively young up here, when it comes to the basic premise of this thread, I'm ashamed to say that I pretty much chicked out. Being a closet superstitious basshead, I didn't want to jinx it by making some wild prediction, only to fall flat on my face. I do enough of that already. So I can't make any claim to 'calling my shot' for what size fish I might catch. About the only thing I did get right was hooking up into a decent fish, and saying "I hope it's a bass" and it was. It's a little hard to hear with the crazy wild wind blowing in the back round. And I say it all the time, and it's always a big pike; except when it's not. A-Jay

LOL ~ Fixed that one for you. A-Jay

I'm up and out pretty early most of the time. When I want to be 'on the spot' right at first light, and I have 60 miles of road and 10 miles of lake between me & the fish, my breakfast needs to be easy & fast to keep me on schedule. A protein shake & a half of banana is the go to. Always bring plenty to eat, so dining on the water occurs regularly as well. An indicator of a good day on the water, sees me eating my whole bag of whatever in the truck on the ride home. Happened past couple of trips. I'm a fan. A-Jay

Not if they are playing with their phone. I hate bumper huggers and will always slow down, pull over, and just let them speed on by. Sometimes I even wave. Best place for those folks is in front of me. Then I HAVE ALL THE POWER. Especially when towing the boat. A-Jay

Took my scheduled off day plus another on the water ~ Good Times. I was back in the home gym this morning for workout Day 1. Set the tone right off the bat with some weighted hanging knee raises. #borninfiftynine https://youtu.be/-lIC-RCBQ1k?feature=shared A-Jay

Not sure about shock absorbing, but I've been using this Andersen Rapid Hitch since 2007. Feature include a polished finished. Multi ball size. (fits my canoe and the Lund) And has a greaseless alimiball, that eliminates greasing the ball or the coupler. The greaseless alumiball version can hold from 5,000-12,500 lbs. The plated steel combo ball version can hold from 7,500-12,500 lbs. All hitch versions have a 1,500 lbs tongue weight rating. Each Rapid Hitch meets V5 and SAE J684 certifications. greaseless , you never have to worry about greasing the tow ball or coupler ever ag https://andersenhitches.com/product/rapid-hitch/ I invested in the locking pins as well. REALLY G;LAD I did. https://andersenhitches.com/product/locking-pins/ A-Jay
