With in coming enemy aircraft wasn't the time to look for something or think darn I should have cleaned that!

I'm a Master Carpenter, a ASE certificated auto mechanic, a A&P certificated aviation mechanic, & a Certified Manufacturing Engineer (CMfgE). First thing I was taught, “A Place for Everything & Everything in its Place”. My Dad was a WWII Navy veteran, if I didn't follow that, I walked funny for awhile!

Ain't no big bass in the Sabine River

Is the lake still there?

Been throwing em for about a year now & quite honestly can't remember hanging one up. After dozens of bass the weed guard is still like new.

Understand what structure is, how to truly identify it, interpret it, and then fish it effectively. Understand what the predominate prey species in your lake and how that species relates to structure with each season...morning, noon, and night. If you can't find em lure selection is immaterial!

@A-Jay I always tell em, let me leave you in the car for couple hours & see how you like it!

As long as Alan Ritchson is Reacher, I'll get in trouble every time but Tom Cruise ain't badass enough!

Growing up in rural Louisiana we didn't wear shoes to school until the 4th grade. Everytime I've tried wearing flip flops I ended up rolling an ankle. With Crocs I feel every one of those bumps & my feet slide around. Never learned to walk like a geisha girl!

Depending on the manufacturer I can wear EEE & a size 9. The problem is most only offer a size D! Once my feet get cold I'm done!

I wear a size 8.5 EE & have a high instep, so support from shoes are necessary. I wear quality "tennis shoes" with memory foam or something like @A-Jay mentioned. Can not wear Crocs or flip flops!

Texas Rig Jig-n-Craw Carolina Rig C-Rig with a 1/4, 3/8, or 1/2 oz weight, 14"-24" leader, 15' of water or less.

Couldn't pick just one @roadwarrior for some big Ole Smallmouth I know @A-Jay catches some big brown fish but we would have to go south of the border. Definitely Steve @Big-O Parks. There are however a couple dozen I would love to throw something on the pit & reminiscent with. @whitwolf to see his Rebel collection I'd cook @WRB & @Team9nine a pot of gumbo & look through his memorabilia.

Have a nice day ?

I gave y'all a straight answer but y'all refuse to accept it since it doesn't specifically say doesn't jump the levee in your boat. I guess since it doesn't specifically say I can't dynamite the levee it's OK to do. Or it doesn't specifically say I can't take dredging equipment & cut the levee that's legal to. Again call Texas Parks & Wildlife, then report back here their answer! Phone: (936) 569-8547 Address: 8096 FM 2782 Nacogdoches, TX 75964 Contact: Robert "Bob" Baker And yes that from the official Texas Parks & Wildlife website!

Oh yeah I almost forgot! How is those kayakers supposed to get across the levee, road, dam? On foot!

How you check the websites certifications? Everything posted the is from official publications. Toledo Bend is governed by Texas Parks and Wildlife, Sabine River Authority, & Louisiana Wildlife & Fisheries. Toledo Bend * puts all that information in location. Keith's interpretation of laws, rules, & regulations is what got him DQ'd! Love it how Y'all wanna prove me wrong but refuse to spend the time I have researching the body of water I fish. Your answer has been in plan sight the entire time! Call it!

Some of y'all need to watch under water footage of a Texas Rig & see for yourself how much separation is actually taking place. Once you start "working" the Texas Rig that distance closes & does not open again.

That is the key with any reel

What I posted is not evidence in your opinion? And where would these kayakers be coming from since this is a "primitive" area with no boat launches within any reasonable distance. I know kayakers can paddle long distances but I highly doubt any would be willing cross Toledo Bend to get there.

What part of that is open to interpretation?

I throw Flukes, Wacky Rigs, T-rigs with 1/8 oz weight no problems.
