Very sensitive with the Chianti talk. I’m sure @12poundbass and @TnRiver46 will have a GIF on it Sorry, different thread

You as well . All my best for Lynn.

I’m forcing myself to stay consistent with my workouts but man, my work schedule is so erratic. Keep up the good work my friend

Man, they came such a long way with that surgery. Congrats to all here who had it done. Good luck to those who are about to get it done. Wish I can do something for my retina issue!

Finessing a jig thru grass takes patience. If you can learn to take your time to lightly finessing a jig or even reeling it thru a grass snag will find you reeling more fish in. Once you get thru the snag stop b4 starting up again. Your patience will be rewarded. BTW: put a small jig up your line on a dropper loop while your drifting along you’ll be pleasantly surprised you tried that technique

You’re a better person than I. Put me in a building and I can repair/build pretty much anything. Open the hood up to a vehicle and I’m scrolling thru my contact list looking for my mechanics phone number to make an appointment

I’ve been navigating the same bay since 2010 and thought I knew it like the back of my hand. I went out at low tide, every thing AOK, saw the point of and island continuing on below the water, checking electronics, looking overboard…everything AOK….until it wasn’t AOK and bottomed out damaging my prop. Know exactly what you mean @TnRiver46! I got really good at reconditioning the prop at the mooring with dingy tied off to the boat’s transom

One of the colors that’s worked very well for me is a dark red, almost like red wine. Not sure why it work considering that red is the first color that disappears in the water column. My guess is that the color is a lighter shade of black. So I keep fishing it until the fish read the final chapter in the manual

It’s probably because you’ve been doing for so long you have that mind muscle connection to know how tight the nut needs to be. I don’t take on mechanical work enough to have that connection. Happy Thanksgiving

Because of your advice way back when, that’s how I do it

Ahhh...now I remember....make sense now Boy, that's embarrassing ... 😆

@TnRiver46, I have and I love going to the way back machine, but truth be told, I really don't remember the movie

Don’t judge me!

“It’s only 33”…” Still means that I’m jealous AF! Congrats to the Mrs!

Love a good glass of Chianti. Highly recommend this

Good luck @Eric 26

Get well

Standard? Automatic? I’m no mechanic but if it were me and the parameters are new transmission or a new (to me) used vehicle, I’d go the transmission route. Why? They are both used cars, why not keep the used car you know a lot about as opposed to one you know nothing about? Good luck.

Hahaha… yeah, that’ll get the oil pumping in the veins and the greased warmed up in the joints … makes you feel like a child again

I have a few years til retirement and plan on fishing way more than what life is throwing me now. If I can get to 50% of those numbers in a season I’d be one happy retired person. Those numbers are the epitome of joy and dedication to the sport. What a nice season you put together. Congratulations

Well it took you 20 years but you got around to it. My wife was after me to install cabinet pulls on the wall cabinets in the laundry room for 10 years. Kept saying I’d get around to it. Pulled the quote out above on her … She really wasn’t amused

I couldn’t reply to this thread b/c Echomap is all I ever used but I totally agree with 12pound!

Great advice on here. I will vouch for ripping weeds with a lipless crank. Such a great technique.

I’m not a mechanic but I thought props had to be tightened by a torque wrench to a specific specification?

Maine is such an underrated bass fishery...I wish I freshwater fished more when I'm up there
