We have tomato, kale, chive, parsley, basil and strawberry growing. Chive has basically came back yearly for a few years now, Tomatoes are green, but only a matter of time. Like you, Mo, nothing beats a good BLT with fresh tomato. Had kale last night for dinner. I think this is our 3rd year trying for strawberry. We'll get a few, but not a ton. Basil & parsley are always desirable in an Italian/American household. I'm thinking blueberry bushes next year.

Thanks Mike. Tomorrow is 1 more revolution around the sun for me...not sure I like getting old.

That's great that you were able to repair rods that fished well and were brought back to specs, @MickD. I tried it on 1 rod that I really liked and did notice a difference in action. I still use the rod, but, to me, it's not the same. I have a broken rod that I was contemplating on trying a repair to. Maybe after reading your post, I'll try again. Thank you for posting the article as well. I have read that in the past, but have forgotten it. Guten tag.

I was working out last Friday and bent over to pick up a weight, sort of looked to my right and my head starting spinning. That night I was sleeping on my left shoulder and head to the right and woke up dizzy/disoriented. It's been a similar pattern since. Just made a docs appt.

Anyone have/had it?

Please accept my condolences.

Love ‘em. My father and I can polish off our fair share, that’s for sure. Steamers, lobsters, quahogs don’t have a chance either.

Oh boy...

I'll be on vacation starting this Friday, July 15th and will be trying a new - to me - technique of 3-way bucktailing for stripers. Last Saturday I found some Mackerel schools, but I wasn't rigged for stripers, we were mainly ground fishing. I'm looking to go back to those spots on vacation to try my luck. I'm not hearing much from the locals, although I hear the Piscataqua River up to Wells has been on fire lately. If any Mainers or anglers fishing southern Maine and NH fishing for stripers, let me know how your doing?

Liking these bucktails

I was thinking the same thing.

I don't mind them, I won't go out of my way to see one, but I have seen a few. Chicago was one of my favs. My then girl friend, now wife went to see it. Jasmine Guy had the leading role. Jasmine Guy played Whitley Gilbert along side Lisa Bonet in the Cosby spin-off A Different World. Smokey Joe's Cafe was another fun one to watch along with Queen Musical, We Will Rock You. That was great if you're into music by Queen.

My condolences.

Had a good day on the water with my son. Seas were fairly calm and weather was mid to upper 70’s. We fished the hook of low tide outside of Curtis Cove and got some nice Atlantic Cod: I would like to thank @cadman for all his knowledge he shared with me with powder painting jigs. These guys took some bucktails I made over the winter.

The way CATT explained it is how I fish a jig in veg. When I was a fine young strapping I used to rip it through with some success and a lot of lost jigs. Now I have way more success and less jigs lost finessing them through.

Perfect description @Catt.

I agree but there are times when you lines scopes out and you need to finesse them out on a more horizontal presentation. I started bank fishing a jig in veg, to me, if you can finesse out on a more horizontal presentation then you have a life lesson on jig fishing vertical.

Agree. If by chance you do overcook it, then cook the crap out of it to make em edible again. It works!

Agree...sometimes I get tired of finessing them out. The name of the game is getting your lure to where the fish are. The more casts you make, the better chance you have. IMO, that's where a t-rig in thick veg outshines a jig.

Besides what @TnRiver46 mentions above, my biggest problem was having it serviced. Seems like nobody around me could make repairs to it.

Same

Was at it last night. Body mobility was on point; ankles, hips, thoracic spin and shoulders were as good as they had been in forever. Little sore today though.

I like a good cold green tea hint of sugar and lemon

Thanks, I thought I was having a seizure.

For me they both are pretty interchangeable. I do get tired of finessing jigs out of thick veg and would switch to a t-rig. Then there are times when 1 out shines the other on that day. My preference is a jig first then t-rig as the back-up.
