Well done. My favorite job is bragging on my grandkids.

Me too. Too much movement and too hard to follow.

Spot.

S & W Bodyguard with Crimson trace is ideal for me.

Rapala husky jerk. By far my favorite

Big jointed Rapalas

Thanks.

Looking for advice on a left hand friendly gun for concealed carry. Thanks.

Thanks for the help!!

I am looking for some advise on buying a trail cam. I am not trying to buy the cheapest......I want a good cam at a good price. Any recommendations?

Well, I guess I have a different outlook than most. I would have been more disturbed by the drinking than the littering. I have worked too many accidents as an EMT to be comfortable with drinking and driving. I would have said "I'd rather you didn't". And either way, I probably wouldn't fish with him again. I would have him fish with me.

Nope, don't use them.

I would not want to challenge them to find out. I think I would just hand over my license if asked.

My largest smallmouth came off of a black jitterbug at night. I love using it.

Find you some white finger nail polish and brush away. Quick and easy, no taping and no spraying.

Throw a spinner. Musky love 'em.

Any medium to heavy bass gear will work fine till you decide to get more involved in it. My son in law caught a 45 inch musky on a 5 ft. ultra light rod and 6# line last summer. He was using a beetle spin, caught a small smallmouth and the musky decided to take it.

Don't know the distance, but I can and have cast onto the bank and into trees at times!!

Sounds like a matter of 'mind your own business' to me. They are fishing just like you if they are not breaking the rules. Sounds like a clear case of high-horse bullying to me.

Be very careful, friend. Drinking and boating can have some very unwelcome and unwanted results.

If you can, take a look at the river right below the dam. There is a ramp there, but it has been closed for repair. Might be open by then.

Almost sounds like fishing is not fun anymore. I'd sit back and enjoy each and every one I caught, and leave the other three guys to their own deal. They are at (or have been) the top of their game for a reason. Try and outfish your self each day. Keep a record of how many you catch, on what, what time of day, weather conditions, water conditions. If you are fishing as much as you say, you should be able to see a pattern developing.

Be glad you have a job. Lots of folks would like one. You still have time to fish.

NIce!
