A lot of good advice here. One thing that one really needs to understand about nutrition is that it's not a one size fits all approach. What works for one person doesn't work for the other. Pick a protocol that works for you and your lifestyle and stick with it. There's no exact science on nutrition. WTG BigAngus752.

That doesn't look like it's helping the supply chain issue.

Not a fan of needles, but can tolerate them. The one thing I can't do is look at the needle being inserted, I have to look away. At the beginning of Covid, my doc had me get a nerve study done. They first attached wires to different parts of my arm and sent electric pulses to full blown current and take readings. Then they needle parts of your arm and get reading on a graph. Felt like a pin cushion. Well the doc could care less about wiping up the blood after every needle he inserted. I walked in with a white shirt and left with 1 sleeve white with red polka dots. I looked like a drive by victim.

I personally never could omit a macro form my diet. Way back when, fat was the big macro that was omitted. You saw everything in the store that was "fat free". All they did was up the calories and salt to make things taste better. Then the Zone diet became the soup of the day and carbs took the hit. "Eat as much bacon as you want" and if the saturated fat didn't have you doc in your ear about your blood pressure, then it was your cholesterol levels. Now, I try and stay around 50% carbs - 25% protein - 25% fat. I eat as whole food as I can without going stir crazy. Exercise mainly consists of mobility type movements with the main course being the Olympic s n a t c h with an appetizer of press in s n a t c h (sots press), a couple of accessory lifts that support it and I try and bake in a day of body weight mobility work, foam rolling and stretching.

Warm-up prior to a workout used to be "a complete waste of time". Can't believe how wrong I was until I got older. I've been doing more of the Olympic lifts lately and really like it. Never realize how tight my lats were until I started out trying to overhead squat and press in s n a t c h (sots press) as a progression to the Olympic s n a t c h. Kept losing the position out front. Finally got an appreciation for foam rolling and stretching. Not so much static stretching where your holding a stretch for like 30 seconds or more but more like contract/relax stretching where you contract the muscle and relax into a stretch for a 4-5 breath count. Only like 3-4 sets is all that's really needed. Anyway, I've really never been able to press in squat, overhead squat and Olympic s n a t c h very well until I started this journey. Really liking the mobility/flexibility my body has now.

Actually, no. I'm not that experienced...I had an idea that they may move, but never had it confirmed. I always thought that they were pretty much embedded into the ocean floor. Just learned something here. Thanks mi amigo.

Not arguing your point @A-Jay, rather supporting it. Even mapping is not enough for me. If I'm in an area I'm not familiar with, I'm slowing down to learn the are for the next time (unless you were alluding to this). Especially if I have peeps in the boat. Being more of an ocean boater, I try and go out at low tide as much as possible to get visual of where rock and obstructions are so when high tide comes, I know when to back off the throttle. Funny, this came up last Saturday on the water with my family. I pointed to where rock was under water. I was told that they couldn't see the rocks. I casually drove to the area to show them. Good thread and responses here.

Not as bad here in MA, but ME is "wicked bad"! You can be just casually riding in the boat or relaxing on the beach and next thing you know it "BANG"! you look down and have blood all over your boat.

@A-Jay Did you just give us a "wicked bad"?

I agree. I did structural welding in college which would have gotten me certified, but mig welding is something I would have loved to have learned. @InfantryMP, that looks great! Wish you nothing but the best of luck!

I used to pour jigs until MA banned lead jigs and sinkers. Was using bismouth, but it really didn't pour well for me. I sold my mold and supplies and now just by the raw jig heads and paint and tie my own. I buy my jigs from a guy who provides excellent service and can give me options on hooks that fit the jig mold at a reasonable price. Not sure I'll go back to pouring lead.

Wrap a little Teflon tape (plumbing supply aisle) on the screw and screw back on. Should be enough to fill the gap(s) in the threads.

Thankfully no. I did when I was really young and went deep sea fishing out of Gloucester and I'm guessing out to Jeffrey's Ledge. I remember it was a miserable day and the seas were very lumpy. I provided the chum line...

2016 Jeep Wrangler Sahara - Every day and tow vehicle. 21 MPG. Bought last October when my son got his license and I had an "oh ***" moment. He was promised my 2012 car. Soft top on it now.

I actually never knew there was yellow bass. Looks fun to catch. Are they any good for the table?

Have a great vacation bud! You left the door unlocked, right? Didn’t quite make it there yet to hijack the Lites and let the dogs out yet.

I don’t venture on this forum often so forgive if this has been covered. Next door neighbor just gave me a spool. Pretty thin stuff. Thoughts?

Love the Fuego’s Absolutely perfect for what my son and I do. I turned a couple of friends on to them.

Daiwa Fury for me. Oops, just looked. Fuego

On the opposite side of the guide you can carve the epoxy and thread wrap down to the blank and you can pretty much pull the rest of the wrap right off. Guide should pop off from there. No need to be fussy, it’s a broken rod. The Spooling Station 3000? j/k How do you like it? I was thinking of getting one this winter.

If the line guides and tip top on the broken rod are in good condition then I would take those off for repairs on other similar rods I own. The reel seat and lower half section of the broken rod can be used to re-spool reels. Other than that, landfill. I tried using sections for repairing broken rods, but haven't had any luck restoring them. The repaired ones work, but not the way I'd like them.

Mid afternoon, just after ice out, overcast skies on a 1/2 oz homemade spinnerbait with a single Colorado blade. Thought I had a pic on here, but I don't. Watermelon over white skirt, olive zonker strip tail tied onto the hook, brass #4 blade.

If that's all I have to do, then it's worth the 800 plus miles to your home...

Are you fishing afloat (boat) or afoot (bank)? If afoot, what part of the lake are you fishing?
