You might make it but will your luggage ? We ALWAYS stay over night in Dallas and fly out the next morning. This way our bags can catch up with us. We do that both ways. Adds a day, some $$$ for a hotel and we leave home a day earlier. But at least we get to fish with our own tackle and wear our own under pants while in Mexico. There's no Walmart in the Mexican mountains Good Luck A-Jay

Hello Filipe and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

Workout Day 2. Starting off with an elevated step back lunge always sets the tone and gets me into the training right away. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Just a little shy of that. Video replay below if you're so inclined. https://youtu.be/c8ncmrbV3-M?feature=shared A-Jay

This comes up a lot. I have been using this for a while. Very good IMO. This is why. Done A-Jay

Mostly Africa Hot here the past few days. Went ahead and took advantage of it by baking a nice juicy lasagna in the mailbox. Came out pretty good. Temp seem Better today. 🧑‍🍳 A-Jay

I have & use my rigs installed electronics. They are not the latest & greatest. More like slightly out dated, especially by todays standards. List includes HELIX CHIRP MEGA SI GPS G4N, HELIX CHIRP MEGA DI GPS G4N, the original AS 360. In my fishing, the precision GPS and Lakemaster mapping is By Far the most used aspects of this deal. As for How much has electronics changed my fishing? It's helped me eliminate water, and the bigger the water, the more there is to eliminate. It has also helped to point me in the right direction so I could locate a few incredible areas that have produced some real trophies for me. https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/256230-lund-1875-pro-v-bass-electronic-replacement-~/ A-Jay

Disregard my last. I made a new plan. Hope it works A-Jay

If you're in the market and perhaps even if you're not. Later today I'll be putting up 3 like new Daiwa Tatula Elite Spinning Reels 3000D-CXH for sale. Pretty sweet reels and As Always, I'm a movated seller who understands the term Flea Market. Don't miss out https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Daiwa_Tatula_MQ_LT_Spinning_Reel/descpage-DTML.html A-Jay

Congrats on the New Personal Best Bass And she's a Beauty for sure. Only a matter of time before that 6er hit your scale. Nicely Done. A-Jay

@casts_by_fly nailed it. I add a couple of 'helpful' items to each rig as well. A rod sleeve and a lure wrap. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Stick_Jacket_PRO_Series_Casting/descpage-SJPSC.html https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Stick_Jacket_Plug_Jackets_/descpage-SJPJ.html A-Jay

You beat me to it Tom-2.0 ! Or pick up a few extra spools. Then just load what you need, when you need it, without changing reels or spooling line. I do it with spinning reels all the time which prompted me to bring it into the cast reel plan as well. A-Jay

Completed Workout Day 1 right here. Who knew 65 could be such a fun age. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

OK, however I was not suggesting that the switcheroo is something for YOU to consider. I passed it along as a example of something that may come into play during trade in or resale. Long Break. A-Jay

Thank you for that. And I get it, sounds like it makes the event easier on the angler. Like cruise control in my truck and I use that all the time. However, it doesn't make me a better driver. I my mind, there is not a TM on this planet that can operate a unit and anticipate subtle moves that need to be made (or not made) while fishing, on it's own, better than an experienced operator. Not sure I could be content with 'pretty close'. I do not fish in rivers, which might have me singing a different tune. btw, I don't own anything 'cordless' either. Man, I might need to get with the times. Fish Hard 😎 A-Jay

My GMC dealer is always more than willing to move my cap onto the next/new truck. In his experience they sell better without the cap. Does surprise me a little, especially since mine are always mint and this is the Snow Belt ! A-Jay

I still run the old tried & true Fortrex. Going on nine years now. While I can certainly see where a spotlock could change some things, I just have a hard time ripping off a perfectly good unit simply for a single feature. If I wasn't getting a few, that'd be one thing. But I bump into one a two every now & then. If It croaks I'd seriously consider it. But until then, I'll keep doing left legged pedal dance. A-Jay

The fish I am targeting late summer seem to be coming in as the weeds begin to die back. This makes the perch & crayfish a little vulnerable. With less cover to hide in they often have to relocate to find some. The big brown bass count on that and are waiting for them, knife & fork in hand (in a manner of speaking). So none of those weeds are dying back until at least Aug most years. That makes July a non fishing but tackle prep time for this basshead. Besides, July is when the marine circus comes to town. And I hate clowns. 🤡 A-Jay

Hope you're doing OK. Might mean Lynn & I should be floating around Lake Minichuck early that morning. A-Jay

We don't see too much of this up this way. Not complaining #heatindex110 A-Jay

Btw, the original Classic Custom fit Bed Rug is awesome and really compliments the whole deal nicely. https://www.thebedrug.com/ "Each BedRug mat and liner is tailored to the specific contours of your truck bed, ensuring a perfect fit that maximizes protection. The material used is resistant to impact, moisture, and chemicals, offering durability that goes beyond generic protection. Microfibers within the surface are designed to absorb shock, reducing wear over time and providing superior cushioning for sensitive cargo. Unlike traditional liners, BedRug products maintain temperature stability, meaning they won’t become brittle or hot to the touch in extreme weather conditions. This attention to material behavior and surface texture ensures your truck bed stays protected, functional, and visually appealing for years to come." 😎 A-Jay

Here's the OP https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/232871-are-truck-caps-~-cx-revo-or-z2/ Been a fan of the A.R.E. units for many years. Prefer having the covered bed, especially with several big dogs. Had a few different models on several different trucks, but on the last three rigs it's been the Z series. Quality unit with great fit & finish. On my most recent rig I have the CX Revo as the molded back glass appeals to me. Initially this same cap went on my previous rig in 2020 where it served me well for 3 years. When I picked up the 2024 AT4, the dealer moved it onto the new truck. So I'm coming up on five years with this one. Still looks like new. Happy shopping @TOXIC and good Luck with your choice. A-Jay
