Google DJI Osmo overheating and see if you still feel the same way. My results seem to indicate that DJI Osmo models, especially when recording in high resolutions (like 4K or 8K) and high frame rates (like 60fps), are prone to overheating and shutting down, though performance varies by model, firmware, temperature, and settings. Issues are common in warm conditions or direct sun, with solutions involving lowering settings, taking breaks, ensuring good airflow, and sometimes using external cooling or power handles differently.

During the 4th quarter both fan bases went for pooping to happy to pooping to happy and back to pooping again ~ Pretty intense A-Jay

Too much ? If the additions make you happy, then perhaps not. I don't see the need to justify whatever you install based on anothers opinion. I care about what I have and what works for me. YMMV. Good Luck A-Jay

Gopros running for hours have been known to overheat and shut down. When using external power, removing the battery from the camera can help delay the problem. But when it is way hot and in the sun, say over 85 degrees F, shutting down at the most inopputune time is a real reality. Might even lose previously save content. Hope the new 3.0 processor addresses this. Other wise keeping video brief is really the only way to manage it effectively. Good luck A-Jay

I've mentioned this a few times during blade bait discussions here, but it really does bear dropping it here again. Fishing the Duo Realis G-Fix Vibration Tungsten Lipless Crankbait in lieu of a blade bait can be Really Really Really good (and that was 3 really's) It's a thin, dense rattle bait that casts a mile, gets deep quickly, and stays there. I prefer to present it in the same way and in the same places as a blade bait. A very small, medium-speed lift off the bottom, just enough to feel the rattle for just a second, and then let it glide back to the bottom on a tight line. A brief rest on the bottom and then go again. Bites come on the fall, AND brown bass will eat it right off the bottom at times. Just so good. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Duo_Realis_G-Fix_Vibration_Tungsten_Lipless_Crankbait/descpage-DUOGFXL.html I use the 3/4 ounce bait exclusively. This Tule Perch ND is pretty good.

I do have this on the list above, so I at least addressed it. Bottle Jack Stabilizer https://safejacks.com/products/universal-bottle-jack-stabilizer I've already mounted this to the jack (and tested it), so it's ready for service when needed. Wheel bearing grease of choice for me is Corrosion X https://www.corrosionx.com/collections/lubricants/products/corrosionx-grease?variant=31163666563168 A-Jay

I was asked by a BR member in a PM regarding what I carry on the road to manage challenges that might come up. I figured it might spark some discussion as well as offer an opportunity to provide supplemental information from this most experienced group. So this is what I got. I have a Truck Box in the bed of my rig that has a variety of gear. As it pertains to my towing and trailer, I'll list them below. These are links to the specific items I carry. Surge Brake Lockout Key W/Magnetic Lock Out Key FITS for UFP Type Surge Brakes ON Boat Trailer I carry 2 for redundancy https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08W9PHZM4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A14RAVZ5EMKC0M&psc=1 Bottle Jack Recovery Kit with 6 Ton Bottle Jack https://safejacks.com/products/basic-bottle-jack-kit Bottle Jack Stabilizer https://safejacks.com/products/universal-bottle-jack-stabilizer Ergodyne ProFlex 380 Kneeling Pad https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K34WCVS?ref_=pe_123509780_1038749300_t_fed_asin_title&th=1 VIAIR 300P - 30033 Tire Inflator Portable Offroad Air Compressor for Truck & SUV, 12V On/Off Road Tire Pump Air Compressor Portable Heavy Duty 150 PSI https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000X90YUO/ref=pe_386300_440135490_TE_simp_item_image?th=1 two Stainless Steel 75 PSI Pencil Tire Pressure Gauges NOCO GB702000A 12V Boost HD UltraSafe Jump Starter https://no.co/gb70 A breaker bar for stuck lug nuts and half dozen extra lug nuts. https://www.gorilla-auto.com/gorilla-automotive-000000000000001721?srsltid=AfmBOorP7qwlh5-2QlvH3R9YMQfRXRA4shtk2Ftwx4iWDncFkkmNFbOc Make sure you have a socket that fits both your trailer wheel and spare trailer tire lugs because it's probably not the same size as your tow rig's lugs - usually by design. Truck lugs are 3/4"and my trailer wheel and spare are a thin-walled deep 13/16"; it's not very common Oh, and get two ! I think that's most of it. A-Jay

As the waters cool off up here in the northern mid-west, one of my favorite techniques comes back into play - Blade Baits. The air & water might be cool or even down right cold - but the blade bite can be Smoking Hot ! Up until recently, my success with this technique was marginal at best. A few years ago I watched the attached video trying to gain some insight as to why I was not getting the results I expected. Mr Scott Dobson's approach to fishing these baits was a GAME CHANGER. The less is best deal Really worked for me - A fairly weed free clean bottom of sand or gravel really helps here. If you have the right conditions and haven't tried this yet, or have but would like to give it another shot, watch this clip. Reproduce this technique the best you can and have the net, scale & camera rolling. You'll be glad you did. A-Jay https://youtu.be/kLOoWcoPIK4?si=93Gel0pX0mArr2Eu

Viko's a little stud ! Congrats on the foster-to-adopt. A-Jay

OK ~ For air temps and or wind chills on the water that dip into or below the 30's, I wear a moisture wicking (thin) base layer top & bottom. Brands are Columbia, Simms, & Under Amour. Second layer is mid to heavy weight Thermal Midlayer top & bottom (Simms) Next is a thermal wind blocking fleece heavy weight Hoodie. (Simms) Finally I cover it all up with a Simms Insulated Challenger Jacket & Bibs. The feets get Cabela's Midcalf Polypropylene Liner, Simms Men's Merino Thermal OTC Socks, and slightly oversized Columbia Titanium Insulated Boots. A-Jay

Sweet ~You're a Superstar ! Congrats A-Jay

Workout Day 4 ~ Once I understood that each day isn't one more day but one less, it helped me to focus on the things that truly matter. This is one of them. #borninfiftynine https://youtu.be/KlR6FiOtUFY?si=C2EmOjG9x0tnUDM1 A-Jay

Here's this mornings updated northern Michigan snowfall totals so far ~ 80.4 inches here seems about right. A-Jay

Improving ourselves takes a commitment to self-awareness, setting clear goals, building supportive habits, stepping out of your comfort zone, and consistently learning from both successes and failures. Focusing on consistent small actions rather than perfection to foster lifelong growth in knowledge, character, and well-being. I film my fishing. I have mentioned many times here that I believe it has helped me become a much better bass fisherman. It has made me safer on the water. It has shown me the importance of keeping the deck of my rig clean & well organized. Having my net & fish handling tools ready and available. Video replay has made me better at hooksets, fighting, and landing fish. I actually developed a repeatable fish landing and handling process that is both effective and helpful when it comes to safe fish release. It has helped me streamline and make my boat launching and recovering procedures safer. Bottom line - I get out of it exactly what I'm willing to put into it. And the word "hassle" doesn't come into play here for me. Good Luck. A-Jay

I go straight FC on all Casting rigs. Usually 15 or 12 lb (not pictured) Braid (8, 10, 15 or 20 lb) to FC or Mono leader ( usually 6, 8, 11, 13, lb ) on all Spinning Rigs. A-Jay

Started off the new year with Workout Day 3. The mindset for 2026 is to move on from what's gone, be thankful for what remains, and stay hopeful for what's to come. #borninfiftynine https://youtu.be/D676YZ7w_BA?si=pBBmksKeveBSJfKI A-Jay

OK ~ I think as long as it's a Red Ryder BB gun, you should be all set. Good Luck A-Jay

Interesting ~ This whole deal is just for fun. So as long as the rules and scoring deals are satisfied, it's fine by me. Good Luck A-Jay

This 5.37 lb Smallmouth bass came on a Megabass Vision 110 in Shrimp. https://youtu.be/uurSA2M9X0Y?si=_UrIa-FIO0Spzu1B&t=209 A-Jay

Sounds like a plan. Don't forget to schedule in a few off days and keep getting plenty of sleep. That's when we adapt—insert improve. Remember, we cannot exercise out a non-supportive diet. So take a serious look at that as well. Enjoy your journey. A-Jay

And I'm putting a wrap & a bow on my 2025 training year. Finished this one off with 160 training days. Perhaps more importantly, hardly any setbacks. The few I did have were minor and resolved themselves in a satisfactory manner. I took the New Year's Eve training day off after some major snow removal operations. But I'll be back at it a bit later today. Looking to start the new year off in a positive direction. #borninfiftynine A-Jay
