Young Mr. Wheeler still makes that same face holding a bass. Just add the "Ding". ? A-Jay

First 'wind direction' is not static. Meaning there are many factors that can & do alter it's direction over land & water. Both Topography & Fetch both play huge roles with regards wind. You've heard this a million and a half times, and if you haven't, and you continue bass fishing, you will. There's no replacement for time on the water. Especially YOUR water; the places YOU fish. Each & every environmental condition is different and a separate occurrence. And while it Can be the same as a previous event, there's no guarantee that it will be or that it has to. #norules. Wind can & will 'blow' into areas that seem in complete opposition to the overall direction it's coming from. Meaning a N or S wind can still blow into a E or W facing cove. And it doesn't end there, sometimes it seems like it's blow from two different directions at once. I call that 'fishing in the vortex' and I'm not a fan. Now add all the regular variables associated with where & when bass feed and we've got a real puzzle on our hands. Stay Safe. A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

On my rig the attachment angle is very close to (if not) straight up vertical. A-Jay

And the cookies & DESERTS WERE JUST To DIE FOR. A-Jay

Back in the home gym for Total Body 1 this morning. Took two days off. Between these two training sessions I ate 15 meals, hydrated with 3 gals of water and got 24 hours of sleep. That's where the commitment truly lives. Completed 3 working sets of 6 basic movements. Showing 2 sets of each here. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

My Dad's side of the family came here from 'the old country.' Grew up in a neighborhood where everyone's last name ended in a vowel. The smells floating through the air on Sat & Sun were heavenly. Many of my friends parents didn't speak English. But they sure were loud. I was exposed to some wonderful foods. Pasta was served with every meal. Sauce was 'gravy'. Most everything was made from scratch. Learned how to make much of it and I LOVE IT ALL. But it's not the healthiest deal, so I have all but abandoned eating most of it now. A-Jay

Regardless of my on board soft plastic or trailer selection and associated supply, the Best Bait of any day Will Forever be whatever bait/color I have the very least of with me. And to take it a step further, once I 're-supply' and head back out. That particular bait might never get another bite. #truethat ? A-Jay

Been running BOATBUCKLE MARINE STAINLESS STEEL RETRACTABLE BOAT BUCKLE BKL F14256 on the Shoreland'r trailer coming up on 7 years. Solid so far. A-Jay

It's all in how you use it my man. A-Jay

I've carried some version of a DMT whetstone in the both the canoe and the Lund since the beginning. Available in different grits to handle whatever you've got in the boat. https://www.amazon.com/DMT-FWFC-Double-Diafold-Sharpener/dp/B00004WFTW/ref=sxin_16_pa_sp_search_thematic_sspa?content-id=amzn1.sym.7d3565f6-486c-4f98-bc2a-f2305ada855d%3Aamzn1.sym.7d3565f6-486c-4f98-bc2a-f2305ada855d&cv_ct_cx=DMT%2B(Diamond%2BMachining%2BTechnology)&keywords=DMT%2B(Diamond%2BMachining%2BTechnology)&pd_rd_i=B00004WFTW&pd_rd_r=afa84463-5343-4fac-bc56-8dc400186d43&pd_rd_w=JRUGl&pd_rd_wg=bFhL7&pf_rd_p=7d3565f6-486c-4f98-bc2a-f2305ada855d&pf_rd_r=0MNKWSXHCS4M35WKMP86&qid=1677676746&sr=1-1-a43b4223-fbe9-48b0-af69-6d70cf84978b-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFOSU9XTEFETjJROE0mZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA2MDA3MzkxWVFHRktDUzBVN1UyJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAzNzY4NTczQlVFSTFYNVBJTkkxJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3Bfc2VhcmNoX3RoZW1hdGljJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1 A-Jay

If we're day dreaming, a giant brown bass would be my choice. Prefer to do it at night too. Because I just want to hold her for a few seconds. But as previously discussed, I'd need to think long & hard before I'd share such a catch. #hideinplainsight A-Jay

Ok ~ Good to know A-Jay

As I get further and further down the road, the value of my time on the water increases more and more. So while getting a discount on the tackle I use is nice when it happens, the reality is that savings, pales in comparison. And if you squinted a little after reading that, you'll see. A-Jay

I'll say Yes ~ Just not today. And personally, I expect her to be caught in Tennessee. @roadwarrior ? A-Jay

I just spent two hours and burned through a tank & a half of petrol cleaning up 10 inches of heart attack snow. But there are 3 maple trees out back . . . . . with buds ! I chit you not. A-Jay

This is when most all of my gear seems the most aesthetically pleasing. #hookedup https://youtu.be/VhGFkOO_UaE?t=1179 A-Jay

That's a Seth Fieder model from Outkast tackle. A-Jay

Great news. Dee will need all of you for a while. Especially in the beginning. Lynn and I are keeping you both in our thoughts. Moving forward we hope everyday is a Win ! A-Jay

Since that video, I just use a bobber stop and or a peg as well. A-Jay

It's just a lead bullet weight. Here's some more info . . . Pretty sure I'm not the only one, but I've been throwing this thing around for a while. Here's a video I made about it 10 years ago. I think this is the very first video I ever posted. A-Jay

In my defense, except for some spare plastics and terminal tackle, I carry most everything seen in my Baits album IN MY BOAT all season. So while there's always different versions of More & Less, Unless the bassheads in this thread can take their entire home full of gear out on the water with them, I am not even REMOTELY in the same universe. Just a guy going fishing A-Jay
