Work hardening As metal is bent, its crystalline structure becomes more complex, which can make it harder and less ductile. This means that while the metal is stronger, it's also more likely to break if enough force is applied. For example, bending a paper clip back and forth until it breaks is a demonstration of work hardening. Titanium is an extremely difficult metal to work with. Bending titanium wire is difficult because it's tendency is to straiten back out.

It's called Texas 😉

Everyone says when bank fishing to approach the waters edge silently. We got gators & cotton mouths, I gonna be shuffling my feet & whistling Dixie!

Depending on where I'm fishing the setups change. Shallow water marshes require slightly heavier tackle than deeper mats on Toledo Bend. Toledo Bend punching is mostly Hydrilla, Coontail, & Milfoil in depths out to 15'. Marshes are a wide variety of both emergent & submergent vegetation with max depths of 2 1/2-4'.

That's why I fish Toledo Bend & Rayburn. With that small of a window of opportunity you better not make any mistakes.

It is not uncommon to spend hours punching with no bites & then stick a 25-30# stack in the next 30-45 minutes. When I decide to go punching I keep only 2 setups on the deck. A punch setup & a frog setup.

Birthday! Ya still doing those Tom? Happy Birthday!

Sounds like a Conway & Loretta song 😄

Being able to fish Louisiana & Texas marshes/swamps or Toledo Bend & Rayburn is why I love living where I do. Not only do I use all my senses but I can use electronics to verify what my senses are telling me.

I call it my attack bag, it's actually a camera bag. It can hold three 3600 series Plano boxes plus numerous sacks of plastics. It has pockets that holds spinnerbait, jigs, everything without treble hooks. I set it up based on where I'm fishing.

Map study before you even get on the lake will give structure locations. Once on the water visual observation will show you cover & water conditions.

When it comes to cooking my pet peeve is people thinking Cajun food is hot & spicy. No it ain't! It's seasoned in proper positions to enhance it flavor what's being cook. Seasonings are not ment to change or over power what's being cooked.

News flash 😉 Just like all bass aren’t the same size, not all crawfish are the same size. Oh yeah guess what the Shad, the bluegill, & the rest of their food source also comes in various sizes. They hatch, they grow, they die!
