Why Do You Fish?
First Off ~ Thank You for your Service. Secondly - I'll say that I feel much the same way. And Lastly - If you haven't been doing it already, I'd like to encourage you (and every bass angler), if the opportunity is there, go bass fishing at Night. It's a way to take this great sport to the next level. All of the feelings & excitement your senses experience during the day will be heightened & Stimulated in a whole new way. The first few times out, ones intestinal fortitude is tested a bit, but after that, Night Ops will take your angling to a place you never thought possible when fishing only day light hours. A-Jay

Videos on developing trolling motor skills
Don't know of any really. But there's nothing wrong with just getting out there and figuring it out on you're own. Believe it or not - before "Videos" that's how we did it - wasn't always pretty . . . . . . A-Jay

Treble Hook Sizes
I went with the 2/0 KVD Mustad short Shank Triple Grips on the 10XD for our Mexican trip last June with 00 mod where Deep Cranking caught a ton of above average bass and they worked perfectly. I also up graded the split rings to a #4 Owner Hyper Wire job. btw - While fishing the 8XD (with 1/0's) I hooked a 7 lb fish and brought it to the boat. While an entire school of 7 plus size fish followed it up. Never saw anything like it before and probably will never see it again - I almost pooped my pants. A-Jay

How many of you....
I purchased several extra spools for my casting reels. Having several of the same model reel (with different gear ratios) where the spools are all interchangeable is very nice. I can switch just about any rig from mono to coploy or braid pretty quickly. Also allow me to "Rescue" a rig in the event of a professional over run (not that that ever happens - a very handy option, especially at night. For my reels, the spool assemblies were $18 bucks. I use a sharpie to label the type / test and I'm good to go. This deal was originally used during trips south of the border, where maximizing gear space & usage is at a premium. Worked like a charm. No Extra spinning reel spools for me - All My rigs are braid - always. A-Jay

Well said ~ btw - with preset speeds, one speed does always seem be just a little too slow ~ and the next one will always be too fast. I HATE THAT ! A-Jay

Do you wear a buff when fishing 2.0 - anti-fog solution for sunglasses
The Simms Sun Gaitor not only has an improve ergonomic shape but has facial ventilation to allow human exhaust to escape. Not 100% fog proof but better. A-Jay https://www.simmsfishing.com/shop/bass-collection/sungaiter-2.html
