Plan on it. A-Jay

OK so perhaps not that far off for me. But when I picked that date I can admit I was being wildly optimistic, never for a real second thinking that it would ever even be close to that. Be careful what you wish for . . . . I'd even take a snot rocket at this point. 😁 A-Jay

If it goes out any time in March here, I don't even have to look. I was WAAAAAY off ! 🤓 A-Jay

Yup - Since I do have an open CIR bass season open early, I plan on being ready for whatever ends up happening. For a while there I thought I might be fishing in Feb, but that seems a bit unrealistic at this point. But March surely has potential. Just need the wind to not be crazy. A-Jay

I smell what you're cooking and I get it. It's not a one size fits all deal. I've been doing it so long now, I can switch them out in seconds, almost without looking. https://youtu.be/qIcmPirLk9I?feature=shared&t=21 But I've had an obscene amount of practice. Good Luck A-Jay

Mild temperatures in the 30's & 40's are expected through much of this week. The anomalously warm winter temperatures over the last several weeks/months, has us a full 3 feet low on our annual snow fall average. Open water is visible on several area lakes with what some call dangerously thin (but I prefer wonderfully thin) ice in some cases. Ice is never 100% safe caution must be exercised on these lakes. Ice fisherman, skiers, snow mobile operators and abominable snowmen are all pretty bummed out at this point. Me, not so much. 43 Days to go - maybe. A-Jay

Nice ! Now that's what I call being 'productive'. A-Jay

Legs 2 workout this morning. Been feeling pretty good which has allowed me to be consistent. Meaning I haven't needed to add extra off days. Hate missing workout in the winter because I know I'll be missing a some once there's open water. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

I haven't bought a Zebco in a while. But I did catch one . . . A-Jay

Pretty sure that level of inventory designates you as the flashabou regional distribution center. Great color selection btw. A-Jay

Truth be told, I never used it before. I purchased a few Biovex baits that had it. They really produced. I started adding it after that. My best spinnerbait bite usually includes wind and SUN. A little flashabou on any pattern seems ok. Clearly not a magic bullet, but it keeps my confidence high enough to continue the chunking & winding. A-Jay

Been running the DD26 gear since 2021. Good so far. A-Jay

Yes, I call her the Lund 1875 Pro-V Bass. A-Jay

I took a deep dive into this subject matter recently. Admittedly, I may me putting a bit more into it than necessary. But maybe not . . . https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/241684-treble-hook-replacement-~-one-man’s-theory-application/ A-Jay

Yes it is ~ a little goes a long way. Past few seasons, that pattern has been like baseball. It's been very good to me. A-Jay

The custom skirt making shop was open briefly today. The devil is in the details . . . . A-Jay

Old Rogues never die, they just keep on catching. This picture will self destruct in 10 seconds . . . . . A-Jay

Been using that Mustad KVD treble very successfully for 14 years now. https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/12706-mustad-kvd-elite-treble-hook/?do=findComment&comment=149867 Can not speak intelligently as to why other anglers are not. No clue what that's even about. Either way, there's a bunch of pics all over this forum of several species of plus size fish, (including my 11-11 lb PB Green Bass) that I've landed that were unable to overcome the sheer greatness of that ewg treble. btw - the Gamakatsu EWG Treble Short Shank Magic Eye is pretty good too. Might even be better https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Gamakatsu_EWG_Treble_Short_Shank_Magic_Eye_6pk/descpage-GET.html YMMV A-Jay (just let me know if you'd like to see any of the pics)

Pull 1 workout this morning. Grip strength always comes into play on this one. Don't see AI replacing much of what goes on up in here. #borninfiftynine https://youtu.be/1AQQljuUGYY?feature=shared A-Jay

45 days to go ~ It's mid February in northern Michigan. Looks and feels the part. Spent most of yesterday morning cleaning & cutting paths through the snow. But it's all good, because it "Tight Line Sunday". Dropping some topwater action from a few summers ago for this one . . . . A-Jay

I have been fishing several LTB sticks for a while. For my money, I do not need anything better. Every one is a pleasure to fish and I like mine quite a bit.
