Giant Set Workout Day 3 yesterday. Still no power here(which is getting old) making it another mostly in the dark workout. Got it done though and was pretty sore this morning. GoPro videos are on hold until further notice but I'll be back at it tomorrow. A-Jay

Thanks, Our only connection to the outside world is through the satellite wifi hot spot in my GMC ! The sleet and snow today are surly hindering the repair efforts. A reassessment of the property yesterday revealed it's far worse than I initially anticipated. It will take me most of the summer to clean up. Just in time for the next winter event. Wish I could catch a bass right about now. 😑 A-Jay

Hello Pete and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

Check today's date. 🤪 A-Jay

Hopefully we get power back before that. 😑 A-Jay

Giant Set Workout Day 2 today. Still no power. Trained by candle light. Wasn't very romantic but was stimulating for sure. No video. GoPro doesn't film well in the dark. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Might be next week before we see power. Cell towers are all out. Only connection is in my truck. Property is literally like a war zone. Trees down every where including my roof. https://www.facebook.com/share/1Bhi3jCgu9/ Got a few inches of snow overnight, not helping. Going to need water soon. Not sure where that's coming from. County issued a shelter in place order yesterday which continues today. Good Times. A-Jay

Wishing I had that generator right about now. 😑 A-Jay

One reason not to hate snow. Old School Refrigerators ~ A-Jay

Been a truly WILD couple of days up here, especially last night. UNPRECEDENTED ICE STORM took down thousands of trees, power poles & lines. North half of this state is without power and is expected to be for several days. We lost too many trees to count, at least for now as this is still an on going event. Fortunately and so far our home, garage and kennels have been spared any major structural damage. The local power company put out the following statement this morning. This is some scary stuff. "Due to a major ice storm, more than 43,900 Great Lakes Energy (GLE) members in nine counties are without power today. The number of members without power rose significantly overnight after reports of falling trees and extensive damage to power lines due to the heavy ice. Since the storm began late yesterday, more than 30,000 members have already had their power restored with many losing power again after restoration took place. GLE expects that restoration efforts will take multiple days. Damage to the cooperative’s electric infrastructure is extensive with many broken poles and downed wires. Heavy ice has brought down trees both into powerlines and in roadways making them impassable in some locations. GLE line crews are working in conjunction with contractors and neighboring cooperative utility assistance to restore power safely. Tree trimming crews have also been called in to aid in the effort. Generator safety is important during long storms by ensuring that the generator is connected legally using a transfer switch that doesn’t backfeed into powerlines and harm workers. Stay at least 25 feet away from any downed powerline, tree, or other equipment as they could be energized. If power is not restored by 10 p.m. tonight and is required, members should seek alternate arrangements." We are set for the long haul as long as the secondary food freezer in the garage stays cold. Usually good this time of year for 4 or 5 days. Plenty of food, water and wood for heat on hand. The clean up will take several days and involve the Sthil chain saw. Stay Safe 😐 A-Jay

The little trick that I use to help me catch fish, Is to eat right, stay lean and get regular exercise. Helps keep my hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles and overlooked feet, in the best condition they can be. Fishing is way less fun when everything hurts. Can't catch them if I can't be out there. YMMV A-Jay

Good Luck with both the meeting and the fishing. A-Jay

Locally, Big ice storm overnight through today and into tomorrow. Going old school. Wood stove, oil lamps, and scrabble by candle light. No power, no wifi or cable & no land line phones. I kind of like that last one. #1883 A-Jay

I will be test flying this Pouce FC leader this spring in 8 lb and 10 lb on my tube rigs. Mainline Connection knotablility seems decent so that's encouraging. But I am hoping the pre spawn fatties will be the final vote A-Jay

I am clearly having a hard time keeping up here I don't know what the heck I even doing anymore. Oh well, off to organize my gumball collection A-,Jay

Sadly no. Package clearly states 2/0 and it looks like it. I will admit to liking the blade (color & Size) as well as the EVO Elite head design quite a bit. Pretty much pot committed at this point so I'm going to fish them and see where they land. Either way I have a few ideas regarding trailers that I'm looking forward to seeing perform. More to follow on that front. btw- do me a personal favor, Please wear your life jacket. A-Jay

I'm pacing myself on those deals. A-Jay

Hello Al and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

After a couple of productive off days, I was back at it for Giant Set Workout Day 1. I've said this before but putting together this home gym and committing to push myself while prioritizing my health, has been the single best investment I could have ever made. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Thanks ~ I have my days. And your dogged determination paired with your own 'innovation' makes you a formidable & successful combatant. And then there's @Dwight Hottle who sits on top of the Brown Bass mountain, alone. It's a mountain rarely located by other bassheads mostly because so very few know it exists. Even in this day & age. #hardtobelieve A-Jay

There's surely plenty of options A-Jay

Happy 3/28 ~ A-Jay

Nothing to see here ~ A-Jay

Our pre spawn here happens during what we call 'sprinter'. Should be spring but feels like winter. Surface water temps 42 -50 ish is the magic big bite zone for me. Seems air temps only matter to me. Big wind is no good but I like some. Helps 'position' the bait, the fish and me. A-Jay
