Stuff you did back in the day, that you shouldn't have done...
@DaubsNU1 Cool Story. Sign of the times for sure. My legal team called. Since I was never read my rights, I'll be recanting my previous statement on the grounds that I am most likely incriminating myself, again. "Objection, Calls for speculation ! " A-Jay

Bait Dyes
I have been known to dip a tail or a pair of craw claws in chartreuse Spike-it from time to time. I use worm paint for a brighter and more long lasting application (no scent). And I use the spike -it pens to add a small 'target' to swimbaits on A-rigs. None of this has any bearing on my catch rate of course. https://youtu.be/j0tfw-dP3Uw?feature=shared&t=158 A-Jay

Who do you insure your boat and tackle through?
Not all policies are the same. Many will cover tackle. I think mine caps out at 10k. So I could probably replace like 3 Pop Max and a vision 110 for that. A-Jay

Thinking of making a jerkbait?
Silent weight transfer system ~ Single rubber coated tungsten ball. Something to dampen the sound of the weight from clacking against the inside of the plastic bait. Good Luck A-Jay

Killer Big Bass ! Congrats. Pretty sure I called this for you just recently in fact. My PB green Bass also choked a RES. Those SK guys make a decent bait. We enjoy the High....... A-Jay

Pull 1 workout today. At 64 years old, sometimes the hardest part of the entire workout is just getting in the gym. Was today. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

A-Jay's Annual Ice Out / Open Water Countdown Thread ~
69 Days ~ Current Air temps are in the 30's here. Ice pack is tenuous at best. Either way, it was a balmy 68 degrees in the home gym. A-Jay

Pattern Fishing
After reading the responses here, combined with the "How are you different ?" thread, I honestly have no idea how I manage to catch a single bass. Seems my basic & routine approach is so wildly contradictory to so much of the best deals. And yet somehow, I get a few. This hard water season is getting longer and longer. A-Jay

How do you differ and why?
When it comes to fishing, I'm not sure I'm different but I am certain I'm me. Sometimes, being me feels a lot like being alone. That being said, being true to my own standards and my way of fishing, has made me feel a bit different. But in the end, it has made me the happiest. Mostly because any & all success I may have, feels self generated. Fish Hard A-Jay

Predict your 2024 biggest bass
I'm optimistic but also realistic ~ and perhaps even a little superstitious. Can't put out a number now. IMO, each and every season is a totally separate deal from the previous ones. So it could be the best ever or the complete opposite. I like to believe that past behavior is the decent predictor of future behavior, and the same is true of success. At the beginning of each season, any small victories help build confidence for me as well as the desire & momentum to keep it going. There will always be some struggle, and I can & do drive through most of it. But it seems that in the 'better years' there's less of that. Might all just be in my head. Either way, I'll continue to work hard at 'being ready' for whatever happens my way. Because preparation = performance. Best case scenario is I hook up, and say "hope this is a bass" . . . . and it is. Fish Hard A-Jay

Nice job Bet that was fun. Congrats btw - not sure if you realize it, but seems like right after you hook up, you're reeling against that drag a good bit. Line twist might be headed your way. A-Jay
