It's Over ! Congrats to Alton Jones Jr. I like his style . . . Bummer for Dakota Ebare - lost by less than 1 pound. That was fun to watch A-Jay

Time is of the essence ~ Or Time is $$$$$$ Yea, that's probably more like it. A-Jay

I run H-Birds and I always go to stand-by mode with the bow unit when I pull the TM. Just seems senseless to run it dry. A-Jay

Boom ! That was crazy ~ Old Gizzard Shad choker right there ! A-Jay

OK ~ So it's the Final Hour. Will Jr hang be able to hang on or will one of the Hammers breathing down his neck dial up some last minute heroics ? Hold onto your popcorn . . . . A-Jay

Pretty sure it's Time . . . Time for that 10 lb plus Lake Fork Stump Monkey to make her appearance. #nadine A-Jay

LOL ~ Jr calling fish landing violations on himself ! #goodkarma A-Jay

Plenty of action in this period. Seems every fish catch at this point is 'edge of my seat' stuff. Since the final period is only ONE hour long, I'm expecting some real 'entertainment' right up to Lines Out. At the start of it, those 60 minutes may draaaaaag on forever for the leader & fly by at lightning speed for whoever's in 2nd & third place I like it. A-Jay Oh Boy Jr better catch'em. Wheels is coming HARD ! #pucker A-Jay

LOL You guys are Killing me ! A-Jay

Is the rest of field going to be able to "Keep UP with The Jones ?" A-Jay

This is a tough one ~ @WRB @Team9nine @Catt @00 mod This last spot I'd prefer to leave available for any number of distinguished BR members #toomanytolist As for Pro's - I have only one ask . . . . J Wheeler to bring his FFS up to Lake Menderchuck and find my mid-summer brown bass. Don't catch them, just locate them. I'll take it from there. Thank You Very Much A-Jay

Agreed ~ It may be like attempting to bake a cake using 5 different recipes. Especially when the same ingredients are all being called something different. A-Jay

While threads that dive into this rather extensive subject always have some great and applicable information in them, so much of it is either super general or extremely specific to certain bodies of water. This can make applying much of it effectively pretty tricky. At least it was for me. Too many important pieces of the puzzled just can't be covered sufficiently here. IMO, if one is really committed to 'learning' this one. Back the truck all the way to the beginning. Read some of the more popular books on the subject - cover to cover; a couple of times. A good one has already been mentioned here. Being able to pick out and perhaps more importantly, eliminate water based on seasonal pattern, by reading a map/chart can be an important aspect of this. Might want to familiarize yourself with what the bait is doing & when. All of that happens both on & off the water. I have no problem admitting that I am barely a novice in all of this, but I have gotten better over time. Which is what this takes. Might be why so many bassheads admit to this being something they have struggled with. Putting in the time & effort usually pays off. Has for me. Fish Hard A-Jay

Snow will move out of northern Michigan to the east this morning, making the way for partly to mostly sunny skies through the first half of the weekend. Highs on Saturday will warm up near 30 for most of the area before cooling a few degrees on Sunday. Fish Catch Friday ~ How about SIX over 10 lbs ! 5 Weeks 5 days & a Wake up A-Jay

My life at this point consists of taking care of my wife, training myself and my dogs. Just about everything else I do is done 'while' I'm either thinking about going fishing, or preparing to do something that sets me up to go fishing. Impending open water is a very exciting time, just as the approach of hard water is somewhat depressing. Anyone who knows me knows all of this. Any conversations involving another subject matter gets little to no tracking when directed my way. As an OG, I can kind of get away with it. It's all good. Fish Hard. A-Jay

Totally. I'd still go stainless ~ A-Jay

How about some stainless ~ A-Jay

How about something like this . . . I'd go stainless https://www.onlinemetals.com/en/buy/stainless-steel/0-75-hole-x-%2313-stainless-expanded-304-standard/pid/22567?variant=22567_12_36&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIntCZ29uZ9gIVif_jBx07BgOFEAQYASABEgJV3vD_BwE A-Jay
