Although there's not much I don't like about it - trolling for trout/salmon while do-able, might be more work than fun. (unless you rigged it right - I don't do it so mine clearly is not). Also J - Get something Crazy Good - you deserve it and you ain't getting any younger man . . . A-Jay

Seems we all have weather challenges. A-Jay

Hello Terry and Welcome (back) to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

We call that ~ "Coming In Hot !" A-Jay

Thank you. You can do it - start slow and make it a priority. Quality of life is a good motivator too. We're all going to slow down, how much and how fast is up to you. A-Jay

Thanks - Do It ! And yes ~ big eye bolts turned onto a couple of rafters. A-Jay

When we get April snow (like today), it does seem to make the winter feel extra-long. However the time off the water, when used constructively, does have its benefits. #noexcuses A-Jay

Good on her ~ The few times a summer I can be out on the water with my better half are always the most memorable. Usually has little to do with fish catches. Congrats A-Jay

Tell me about it. A-Jay

10% of the water holds 90% of the fish. Learn where bass will be seasonally and most importantly, why they are there. A-Jay

I fish a lot of smallmouth bass water. It's rare that every fish in the lake is doing the same thing at the same time - I'm always trying to locate active bass in different areas. Often the depths, structure & cover are quite different, but the bass in each can still be active. While some can be (and often are) similar, each spot may require a specific approach, technique or presentation to get bit. This can & often times does change even in the same spot once a few fish are caught. There is no doubt, however, I'm a big fan of being successful while I 'run points' or 'fish wood or docks'. When it works - it's killer; doesn't always though. Some days it's more about prospecting and less about fishing. So my most productive 'pattern' is to find active bass. If that's a no-go, I usually end up fishing a jig. A-Jay

Last day of March but it's going out with a bang here. 3 inches of snow today coming in with 45 mph winds and overnight temps in the teens. Wind chills will be in the single digits. But I'm watching baseball so regardless, we gotta be close . . . . . A-Jay
