Got out again today although it wasn’t until about noon. The light & variable winds looked & felt a lot more like a 15 Kt Easterly Cold slap in the face. Either way it was tough sledding until about 4 pm when the winds let up. After doing nothing with a tube & an assortment of jerkbaits, a rage bug on a little football head got me on the board. After that I relocated & found a few smallies that were finally interested in my jerkbait. Bite only lasted about 30 minutes but I was glad to have it. Weekend looks like a washout but I’m going to try and wedge in an early morning trip tomorrow before the deluge. A-Jay

Fatties for sure ~ Congrats A-Jay

I hear that - I am admittedly somewhat embarrassed at just how much gear I have that has a little KVD symbol on it; baits, rods, reels, & even my darn electronics - the way I figure it is - he's taking all the guess work out it for me. . . . . . Either that or I'm just an addicted sheep man. A-Jay

May depend on your casting distance and retrieve speed, but I'll say this - 12lb won't make it run any shallower than 17lb. A-Jay

MagnaFlex ~ still using it today A-Jay

I have the 7'10", 3 of the 7'4" and the 7 ft model; all MH Mod. I have no Idea whether they are any good or not. But I do like it when then get a good bend going. A-Jay

I just picked up the Frabill Plano Hydro-Flo Hanging Bait Stowaway, Clear. Only had it a week or so but it seems decent. A-Jay https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FPQRIK4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Looks like this one may have run it's course ~ We may hear a bit more on & off about this story. Guess we'll have to wait and see if anything that matters ends up changing as a result of it. I'm not expecting much. A-Jay

Nicely Done Best of Luck Congrats A-Jay

I'd agree that the overbooking practice is counterproductive and it wouldn't hurt my feeling to see it eliminated - although I'm betting there would be a rate hike to compensate for it . However, if the ticket is paid for in advance, why does it matter if the seat is empty or not ? The airlines still get paid. Is Overbooking a way to get extra $$ by playing the odds that a certain % of humans will not make it anyway ? So are the airlines getting above 100% capacity on most all flights ? A-Jay

I can sympathize, but one way or another, there is a distinct possibility that you still would have ended up off that plane - how that goes is up to you. Everyone understands that travel, especially air travel, can be dependent on so many things out of ones control, that there is always a decent chance there could be delays. And if my particular employment situation was so precarious that if I was a day late getting to work, I would lose my job, it would make sense for me to build that into my travel plans - especially as fluid as they can be these days. That is how I assume responsibility for me & maybe some control otherwise the airline hold all the cards. Clearly not condoning the bloodshed, but I'm comfortable assigning equal blame to both parties. I've got some air travel ahead of me in the not to distant future, while I'm not flying United or American airlines, I will still expect to arrive on time on the date(s) I expect. And I might even complain if somehow this doesn't happen. But rest assured, I'm not taking one for team . . . . . A-Jay

I think limiting ones options can be a good way to help learn a particular bait or technique. If you only bring 2 or 3 choices, then that's all you can fish. On the other side of the coin, I've had many trips where I started out with several rigs at the ready, only to fish with the first one I picked up - all day. Those are usually good days though. A-Jay

I can agree with this. Overbooking is common practice & mostly common knowledge. Most anyone who has traveled perhaps even only a few times has probably see or heard of this. I know people who actually 'hope' for this on every flight they take (the $$ not the beating) as they like the idea of getting a flight (and often times a room overnight) on the airline's dime. And so it all comes down to choices we make - even today in this, our 'most modern society, there is still an authority in place to 'protect it' and to ensure that individuals (and group) are conducting themselves in a manner that has been determined by the majority, as acceptable. When the choice is made to step beyond that, there are rules & people in place to address that. This seems like that to me. Everyone may not agree on how this is completed, but I didn't see anyone jumping up and offering to take his place. They were content to capture it on their phones and be glad it wasn't them. Lesson learned here may be 5 year old boy-like defiance might not be the best plan in the adult word. This individual's decision turned a inconvenience into something else - next level. A-Jay

Very sorry to hear you lost your job - In reference to the bold type above - isn't that line anonymous & designed to prevent this very thing ? Unless of course you happened to mention to your boss that you'd made the call, then I guess I could see why you got canned. A-Jay

What the heck ! A-Jay

It's a 3/4 oz Duo Realis G-Fix Vibration Tungsten Lipless Crankbait. A-Jay

It's like an epidemic or something ~ Either way I bet he appreciates the warm welcome - 9 years late. A-Jay

I can't choose - you pick five ~ A-Jay

And there it is - another one from the archives 2008. Might not be the most up to date info though. A-Jay
