We’ve got two grand dogs with great temperaments. One which makes a beeline to the pool, only to stand on the pool stairs with water up to his belly. The other is a non-stop fetching machine when not retrieving his pool toy is focused on his archenemy, “Herby” the pool sweep.

Woooo Hoooo! d**n nice when Christmas comes early! Congrats on the new additions

Ya know, I think it’s really nice in the last few weeks of summer when alarm clock goes off at 0330 and I could turn it off, go back to sleep because there’s no 0500 sunrise. So when I finally get out of the rack, get underway and missing the morning topwater bite is an afterthought. When I get to the launch ramp I find no sign of a breeze, the tide has about an hour left before it bottoms out and almost 73 degree water temps. Good thing the fish were unaware of this, that air temps were gonna hit 98 degrees, because the bite was pretty good. Best fish of the day was a 4.29lber punching and a 4.58lber on a GYCB stickbait.

Hello @HighCountryBassAssassin from Northern California, welcome to Bass Resource and the Forums!

Absolutely. When Mrs B and I were at that point in our lives we went in a similar but different direction. And then we ended up pivoting again when she determined resort camping was the best option outta the three for us. Bottom line as to which one is best I’d say we could all agree is, “happy wife, happy life”. Again, congrats to both of you and great fishing!

I don’t know @Randy Price, other than a little slice of heaven that’s hopefully only about 10 minutes to get the boat’s skeg wet. Congratulations to you and Mrs Price on your weekend retreat!

Congratulations @ATAon your new ride as we know it cost a pretty penny! And I know it’s pretty quick, but l’m sticking with the 6.2L in my Sierra for towing the boat. Again, congrats!

Hello @JClouseau42 from Northern California, welcome to Bass Resource and the Forums! Some of your trout gear, such as in-line spinners like Roostertails and Mepps, spoons, small crankbaits and jerkbaits (if you have them) might help fill the gap as you build your arsenal. And you’ve probably got a spinning rod that can throw a senko, drop shot or split shot rig. Just my 02. Anyway, good luck and good fishing!

While it was over 60 years ago, as the young son of a U.S. Marine I did have a lot of unique experiences and memories of living in the PI.

San Diego Jam for mono, fluoro, braid

Same here. Remember way back when I was knee high to a tadpole bunka boat and Kalesa cart rides and a small piece of sugar cane in my hand.

They sure won’t fit on a Jeepney

Hello @andrewtkd from Northern California! Welcome to Bass Resource and the Forums!

I do, and have been for years. I keep a couple in the boat and a bunch laying around various places in the garage. Whether or not using a Sharpie on your faded braid helps can be debated, but as far as I’m concerned it sure doesn’t hurt. I even use it on my frog bellies and legs to add a little contrast.

Hey @TankGeek, hello from up here in the northern portion of the Valley! Welcome to Bass Resource and the Forums!

@throttleplate, is that a counter battery radar unit for the M777 in the foreground?

I’ll say C-17

Absolutely, as does the unwritten promise a sunrise over the water brings a certain level of optimism to start the day….

Picture looks great, and I’m sure we’ll see some more possibly with you holding up a big ole bass. And welcome @Katemeister to Bass Resource and the Forums!

It’s been my experience @buckmaster27012 that a Lucky Craft Pointer and Staycee , a 6th Sense Provoke and the Jackall Squad Minnow (if you can find them) work well if you’re tired of catching ‘em on a Vision 110.
