Spinnerbait "eye" Preference
Closed eye, I can't tie knots easily. I use ball bearing locking snap swivels. I have a hard time tying in the sunlit at night forget about it. I'm surprised the spinnerbait manufacturers haven't figured out they would get higher sales with closed eyes. I filled a box with Mann's classic spinnerbaits. Closed eyes.

Help I'm Retiring
I retired at 52yo just turned 65yo. You need to read the articles here, Watch the videos. All winter to get ready for the pre spawn. Be patient. Start with a livebait setup and a lure setup. As you progress with your skills the lures will out fish the live bait. We never stop learning. We eat, fish, sleep, think fishing. Night fishing will educate you on keeping your tackle box neat. In the spring pre spawn, spawn the fish are in the most northern part of the body of water were it warms up first. Fishing isn't luck, it's skill, get your skills on here. Congrats on your retirement, enjoy the outdoors.

Why Mayberry Was Such A Happy Place
Good clean TV shows. The 50's, the 60' were innocent. Some of the 70's was ok. I grew up in a small town in Jersey. Till ten yo. Twenty minutes from the city. Like Mayberry spmetimes in the fifties.

Looks Like Radier Is Evloving.
Don't feed the animals. My dad as a kid soaked cherries in my grandfather's home made wine. Then he went to the local zoo and fed the chimps. They were all drunk when he left.

Funny Comments People Say To You.
Boats are a portable casting deck. At my age plus my health I think getting a boat has sailed. I can afford it. But I can't handle it alone. I'm very thankful I have some good shoreline hot spots.

Have a boat?= plenty of freinds to go fishing but no one around to work on it. I just mentioned a boat and one guy told me not to forget him when I go fishing. I don't see this guy for a year at a time. I never mooched on anyone.

New Ride
We had a Chevy Chevette with three small kids. Funny they sat close to each other. Now remember how you went from a smaller goldfish bowl to a larger bowl how the fish stayed together till they figured there was more room in the bigger tank? I purchased a Chevy suburban for the family. The kids on the first ride were huddled together like in the Chevette. They had two rear seats plus the space near the tailgate. They figured it out they had there own space.

Funny Comments People Say To You.
I had the four speed tyranny on the floor in the pit while I changed out my clutch. One of the old timers looked and asked me why did I take the tranny out to put a new clutch in? He proceeded to tell me his mechanic installed a new clutch in his car and never took the tranny out. I was dumb founded and stuck for words. He said he was taking a night school mechanics course. A month or so later he realized the tyranny needs to be removed to remove the clutch. The pilot / input shaft of the tyranny goes through the clutch disc. He said he paid for a new clutch but his mechanic only adjusted it.

Somebody needs to visit a slaughter house. But maybe someone invented a way to make meat without using animals.

Beginner Hunter. Start With Bow Or Gun For Deer
First wear ORANGE please. You can buy a used Winchester 120 model slug gun cheap. I paid $250 a few years ago. Check your pawn shops. I hunted with slugs in my double barrel 12ga. I used the brenneke whistling slugs. Very accurate in smooth bores. I tried the sabot slugs made for rifled barrels in my smooth bore and they were accurate too.

Fishhead Spin
I just move blade baits just fast enough so the blades do there thing. Just make the blades spin. It's handle speed not the gear ratio. Line speed Clear water fished faster so they don't get a good look at it. Stained water fished slower. Muddy water fished slowest. It's longer time wise in there strike zone.
