Heck of a game @OCdockskipper! Rams played well on both sides of the ball, Niners were fortunate enough to get the win. 12-3 and north to Seattle!

Ahhh, the seasonal winter worn has turned. Boat goes in the shop next month for a tune-up as the pre-spawn wheels start to roll...

Hang in there @JLewis134, no one got hurt, you’re ok and family and friends are concerned for your well-being. Your positive attitude in getting to 100% with the doctors help will have the fish trembling as you head to the water with rod in hand...

Remember those days well @Bluebasser86, be safe. Right around 0001, it was always nice to 10-28 Mary-Robert-Charles-Lincoln-Adam-Union-Sam ?

It always helps if you include the attachment ?

I received my Fishmas 2019 package from @Harold Scoggins in last night’s mail delivery. I gotta say I was at a loss for words at receiving such cool stuff. I don’t have any of these in my arsenal, only adding two Jack Hammers a couple weeks ago. Definitely looking forward to throwing them this spring when the big girls wanta party! Merry Fishmas and May all of you and yours have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Happy birthday @Chris244! Hope you’re able to use that nice setup today!

I’ll confess it’s not any particular lure or technique... it’s my electronics. I just don’t want or care to spend the time to learn their full capabilities graphing a lot of water. I know I’m missing out, especially as fishing gets tougher. But I’d rather just turn the things on and spend my time fishing, which is why I’m out on the water in the first place.....

December 29th @Glenn, December 29th. As you’re aware, the Niners can’t look past the Rams. Then it’s for all the division marbles ?

ABSOLUTELY ?!

@Glenn, same argument being applied here in the People’s Democratic Republic of California. Except it’s to help Big Ag justify increasing water exports from the Delta for almond orchards in the San Joaquin valley. Those “Wonderful” growers plan to have Metropolitan Water District ratepayers pay for the infrastructure to do it. Sorry got sidetracked, black and striped bass are easy targets for the West Coast salmonid declines...

My “ugly” Christmas sweater that arrived 010519, in plenty of time for this year’s Christmas and Fishmas 2019. * I order it Dec 1, 2019 ?

ATTA BOY!!!! The Baitmonkey knows who’s boss, well done!

@slonezp, glad you’re able to spend the holidays with your Mom and family!

@BassBlowup354, I’d maybe try to sand the area using a drop of light oil and emery paper. The oil should help in breaking down the rust and the emery paper to further remove the rust from the metal. Clean it up with a cloth and maybe apply a little paint

Good to see he’s checking in on BR in between fluids and getting some rest. Get well soon!

There was a time I had a difficulty deciding what color crankbait to throw LOL

The Provoke is Ghost Bone Minnow, and I am impressed with the paint job as well as the hardware hanging from it. @fishballer06, it is kinda similar to my Jackall Squad Minnows. And thanks for the heads up on the R2S crankbait. Hopefully, it was just a bad run and they fixed the problem. But I’ll keep an eye out none the less.

Just part of what the Bait Monkey said I needed to have sent my way. Some from a familiar, trusted source, some from another. I was intrigued after a @Bluebasser86 post of the Provoke, a couple of mine are on back ordered from TW, and how they compare the Visions...

On the way, hoping it arrives without delay, Merry Fishmas!

Or earthquakes ? We get that kind of snow out here, I’d just have to drive a few hours to get to it. Sure enjoyed all that fresh powder back in the day. You guys be safe...

Hook, line, and sinker @Catt! I had to look to see if this was posted April 1st ?

Hope we can right the ship, but d**n, looks like I’m going to be coaching in New York.....

#1-plastic/rubber worm and a plug bait a close second...

If it’s not too late, I’m in. Merry Fishmas 2019!
