Road To The Superbowl 2024
Is it just me, or does 'the nose' look like it belongs somewhere else ? A-Jay

An enterprising fan able to scalp enough tickets, might even be able to afford one of dem Bass Cat boats. A-Jay

Working to Stay Lean ~
Back around to Legs 1 this morning. Hoping this can help keep me stable & balanced up on the bow of the Pro-V Bass for as long as possible . . . #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Spooling yourself vs shop spooler
I spool my own bass gear and have been for a few decades now. I'm sure it's just me but I honestly can't trust a retail human. A-Jay

A-Jay's Annual Ice Out / Open Water Countdown Thread ~
It's been too cold to foster a dog, so I've had time. If I get the rest of this done early enough, there's a couple of potential candidates locally that we are keeping an eye on. A- Jay

A-Jay's Annual Ice Out / Open Water Countdown Thread ~
73 Days ~ Temps in the single digits again this morning. However forecast is calling for a little bump in air temps up to the 30-ish range by mid-week. I'd take that right about now. All the rigs have been checked, prepped & cleaned for the next campaign. I'll be readying baits for sale all this week and am looking forward to giving them a happy new home. Either way, it's 'Tight Line Sunday' which up to this point has been dominated by brown bass. So let's fix that . . . . #likeagrouper A-Jay

What was you're best lure and set up last year?
A buggy whip, nine feet of baling wire, and Marge's husband. It was like magic happened. A-Jay

The boat market is crashing
Nice looking Lund. And those suggested monthly payments on the Bass Cat are more than my new truck & mortgage payments combined. btw how many bedrooms is the Bass Cat ? 🙃 A-Jay

How much snow this winter? And how are you moving it??
Nice. I grew up in New England and before moving up here right in the center of The Snow Belt, I thought I knew snow. Lake Effect snow ❄️ is a completely different animal. 2-3 inches an hour is routine. And it just keeps coming and coming and coming and coming and coming. Turns out, I did not know snow. 🤪 A-Jay

Winter 2023-2024
Here's some fun info ~ With Temperatures in the single digits, keep in mind road salt is not as effective against ice in extreme cold temperatures. See chart below. At a temperature of 30 degrees, one pound of salt will melt 46 pounds of ice. As the temperature drops, salt's effectiveness slows to the point when the temperature drops down near 10 degrees and below, salt hardly works at all. Road Commission crews will use more of a salt/sand mixture during extremely low temperatures to give road surfaces some “grit” for better traction. The sand does not remove the ice! It is important to keep a safe distance from other vehicles, reduce speeds and give yourself adequate travel time to reach your destination safely. Stay Warm and drive safe. A-Jay

Not totally sure but I think low or non existent residential water pressure is part of it. It's also close to zero degrees. A-Jay

How much snow this winter? And how are you moving it??
^^^^ Serious Rig right there ~ Despite pacing itself, winter finally arrived here. We're getting something a close to our average for the winter. Comes out to an inch or so a day - for close to 150 inches. It's like living in a snow globe for 4- 5 months or so. Been stupid cold recently so I haven't messed with the cameras, but this is some stuff from last winter. A-Jay

Pull 2 this morning. Eased into the T-Bar Rows as I haven't done them in a bit. Rest of this one went well. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Your fishing style in as few words as possible (explanation allowed)
Sniper ~ I fish alone and think independently. Make rapid, accurate assessments and mental calculations. Maintain an emotionally stable personal life, (always working hard on this one). Function effectively under stress. Am patient, pay attention to detail, persevere, and maintain physical endurance. Focus completely, and endure solitude. Stand outside myself to objectively evaluate the situation. Remain free from detrimental personal habits. I have a decent degree of stamina, and some athletic skills and abilities. A-Jay

Split Rings
#2's work fine for regular 110's & Jr's. As for affecting the action, I'm going with no, not adversely. But you can decide for yourself. A-Jay

Applying for Social Security Disability Benefits ~
Did the lawyer thing - 2 in fact. We waited too long to apply - 5 year rule is not negatable apparently. https://trulaw.com/legal-guides/social-security-disability-insurance/what-is-the-social-security-disability-5-year-rule/ But thanks. I am no longer responding to replies here. Too depressing. A-Jay

My evolution of jig fishing
@WRB ~ So Good. Thank you. To my knowledge there isn't one yet, but I would like to nominate Tom Young as the first ever inductee into the Bass Resources Hall Of Fame. A-Jay
