I purchase travel insurance every time I fly south of the border. 10 plus trips ~ Used it twice. Glad I had it. Read it and make sure you know what's covered and the steps needed to file a claim before you need to. Have the info with you. Safe Travels A-Jay

Looks like there's a new kid in town. Pretty excited about this profile. Hybrid Jerkbait / Crankbait type deal. A-Jay

Two words: Cloaking Device. That is all. A-Jay

Any Ideas ? Yes ~ These types of 'line tests' seem a very long way from simulating actual fishing conditions any line would be used in. So unless one routinely fishes or better yet hand lines with a 2-3 foot section of line, we may be missing the mark a bit. Especially when considering the static & dynamic forces of both the boat and fish on & in a liquid medium. Perhaps something closer to a real world test (on land anyway) to see how the line performs when it's fished would be to spool whatever is being tested on to the rig it's generally used on. Secure it to something solid along with the scale (if that's what you're looking to learn). Back away the length of an average cast. Lock down the drag. With a bend in the rod, slowly back away. This might be closer to what 'breaking off' might look like. I would expect 50-65 lb braid might break a few rods before it parts. Keep that in mind. A-Jay

I use the 300 Tranx for plus size Green Bass south of the border. Swimbaits, underspins, Jigs & big Shpabinner baits. Might be my favorite casting reel. A-Jay

Total Body 1 on this chilly Sunday Morning. Performed 3 working sets of seven movements. Showing one set of each here. Feeling pretty good. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Fair enough. And I'm done here. A-Jay

Been following this one . . . OK so new boats cost more than they used to. How is this a surprise and when does this not happen ? What prompted my response here is that there seems to be a tone to this thread that indicates that having some debt or a making payment, is akin to a terminal illness. I get it, we all have a different opinion or idea on how to 'live' financially, but not all 'debt' is life threatening. And if it is, we did something wrong. Assuming or guessing how another person 'affords' what they have is just that - guessing. As a retired enlisted man, on a fixed income, I know where I stand. Being realistic & honest with ourselves regarding our disposable income is important. But Debt is not death. Conducting what I like to call 'creative financing' can enable one to safely & substantially upgrade their deal. 'Running from debt' is non-sense IMO, unless we do it irresponsibly. Just like anything else in life. Learn or burn. "Waiting" for the prices to come down or for that 'special deal' to fall our your lap, is IMO, a waste of quality time. Time none of us are guaranteed. btw, I financed a portion of my rigs cost and I lease my trucks. Turn it in for a new one every 3 years and I can still buy food. Come At me Bro . . . . A-Jay

Only ever used it in any environment where the gag reflex would otherwise be very strong. Went with an application to the upper lip or even just about in the nostrils depending on the level of noxiousness. A little goes a long way right there. Will say that if I did happen to be a little congested, it seems to help some. A-Jay

For traditional Baja California-style fish tacos I go with battered and fried fish, usually cod, haddock, or snapper. All excellent fried. For Grilled Fish Tacos I prefer a fish that holds up well over high heat and won't fall apart on the grill. So I lean towards fattier fish like tuna & salmon. For a more steak like texture, swordfish and halibut work well. Mako shark is a real sleeper right here too. A little harder to find sometimes. A-Jay

And you look so good in it ! You should get one. A-Jay

This is not my quiet place ~ A-Jay

PSA and fair warning ~ It's addicting . . . . Also I'll use Mrs Dash Garlic & Herb quite a bit on chicken as well But I add my own salt because - well I need some. A-Jay

Does this work on the bait monkey too. Because I'm missing a couple hundred bucks ! ? A-Jay

So do I ~ Just having some fun. ? A-Jay

Yup. Total Body 3 in the morning. A-Jay

I hear ya ~ If you're lucky, perhaps you'll figure out that taste & good health are not connected. But you're still young, you have plenty of time to swell that BMI. Good Luck A-Jay

The V9 was good. So there's that. https://youtu.be/NpVmd8ll1Dg?t=169 A-Jay

Interesting Thread @Mobasser We are super fortunate in that our quiet place, is our home. And that's by design. Considering how much time we spend here, it's extremely beneficial. Mentally, emotionally & spiritually. As for a quiet place in my fishing, most every Lake Menderchuck I fish, is routinely void of other anglers. At least when I chose to be there. Stay Safe A-Jay
