OK I won't say it ~ A-Jay

OUT OF STOCK EVERY-WHERE ! A-JAY

Thank you very much - seems this is one of those 'stories' that regardless of how or when it ends, will most likely suck pretty bad. I wish it was different but that's the reality of this insidious deal. A-Jay

At some point we are just going to have to acknowledge the Absolute Greatness Of Alton Jones Sr. The Man just wrecks them . Fun to watch A-Jay

I had a crab so big one time, it stole my wallet ! I get no respect I tell ya, no respect at all. I'll be here all week - try the veal. A-Jay

Dynamite Smallmouth ~ Congrats I'm out of likes for today so we're going with the double smiley faces A-Jay

It's a basically a hull design that has proven itself on big water for several years. Lund uses it in a few of different boat lines. A-Jay

Thanks ~ As mentioned above the Pro-V Bass is an IPS2 riveted hull. As for allowing for 'hull flex' - my rig gets me there & back in anything I ask it to safely. May all come down to how that happens. A-Jay

Nicely Done ~ Just goes to prove that holding your mouth right can really help Congrats A-Jay

You're welcome. Hard to say and almost always depends on where the baits at. I won't even fish an area if I'm not getting perch following my baits. No bait, there's no reason for the smallies to be there. Also, insiders tip, check she docks you launch from as well as any docks near points. You're looking for crayfish parts of top of them left behind by birds eating them. Could clue you in on where to fish and what to do when you get there. #jigs Boom. A-Jay

I have fished Lake Charlevoix, just not this season. It's pretty big, and can get a little nasty on a hard NW & SE blow. Weather can be anything, but I'd expect 30's or 40's in the early morning & 50's and if you're lucky 60's during the day. Any wind will make it feel much colder. I'm never fishing for a limit of keepers so no help there. That time frame for me is all about ONE Thing - POINTS. Points early, Point mid day, and points in the afternoon. The locals will know and will be on the best ones. I'd get on one and camp on it all day. If it's calm enough and the water temps are above 50, could be early morning topwater bite. Otherwise just about everything I'd throw is RIGHT on the bottom and moving. Tube Swimbait on a jighead (3.8 / 4.3 Keitech AYU). Rage Bug on a swing head Mid-deep running crank (which can be a few feet off the bottom and still get bites). A Bladebait or a rattlebait on the bottom. If the points get covered up, look for some grass in 6-10 ft and stroll a spinnerbait, a vibrating jig or a flat sided crank bait over it. A jerkbait is always an option as well. Hope that helps Good Luck A-Jay

Thank You ~ Felt good and I certainly needed some fresh air. As for me 'pretty homely' probably covers it. A-Jay

Haven't done one of these in a while ~ It was a pretty morning so . . . . . IPS2 Hull's still running strong after 6 seasons and the 200 hp ProXS loves the cool mornings ! Fish Hard A-Jay

Had a sea gull dive bomb my topwater this morning. The way this weeks been going, it's pretty much par for the course. Took a minute to free it but the bird and I were both no worse for wear. Used to happen all the time in the surf. A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

No ~ but it's not hard to imagine that somehow there would be several dog bites involved. Ripping flesh, crushing bone, torn ligaments & tendons. Just doesn't seem worth it. A-Jay

So here’s the latest update on my wife’s heath. Still very serious - cardiac & super low BP concerns. So low that our at home PB cuff has been unable read it. Passing out is a real problem. Been going a few rounds with the VA trying to get an authorization for a specific prescribed cardiac Med that is expected to help and is apparently quite costly. (Not to us) VA required Lynn’s DR’s to jump through quite a few hoops before authorizing (insert paying for) it. Nothing bad to say about the VA, they have been a Huge help in all of this, just that this deal seemed to need some extra TLC and took what seemed like forever. Lynn’s been on the new meds for a few days. So far so good as it seems to be helping. If this didn’t happen, there is a good chance she’d already be in hospice or at the very least long term hospitalized. She's 49. Seems we may avoid that, at least for now. We both could not possibly thank you all enough for the kind words & encouragement and I’m pretty sure we’ll need all we can get moving forward. She has her regularly scheduled Chemo for the 14th & again on the 28th of this month. Not sure how that’s going to go. Either way, at this point, I’m feeling like a drunken goat doing yoga in a dumpster fire riding on a train going right off the rails. Serenity now . . . . . A-Jay
