ARMED FORCES DAY ~
My Dad a combat engineer in WW 2, always wondered why special days had to be made to honor anyone. My uncle, his brother who served in the Marines on New Guinea felt the same way. They just couldn’t get past that laws had to be made for that. I for one are thankful they did. Mike

Retirement
Congratulations!! Theres nothing like it. Do what you want, when you want and don’t answer to anyone. (As long as the money holds out) ?? I’ll never forget the morning after... I got up at the same time. It’s still dark, the house is quiet, Mrs Mike is sleeping. I get a cup of coffee, lean on the sink and say to myself.. ”Well Michael, what the hell do you do now?” The best unsolicited piece of advice I can give you my friend is take your time, don’t rush into anything. The best years of your life just started. You earned what’s next. I wish you the best. Mike

Florida Bass Fishing
Put up with what! He went in an over grown pathway leading to the waters edge. Then After he put some space between them he turns around and starts walking toward it and calling after him!! Mike

Anyone try Scum Frog Launch Frog yet? Thoughts?
The thing about any Scum model is that you don’t need to spread the hooks out like everything else. I’ve been throwing the original little one (and only in (grn/pepper) in more open water only. When it starts to get heavy the Trophy is all I need Mike

Anyone try Scum Frog Launch Frog yet? Thoughts?
The only brand frog I use is the Scum. Either the original ones or Trophy Series. Softest frog there is. I haven’t tried the Launch yet because I never had a reason to change. Mike

Ask James?
He is really a good man and always willing to help. Never have know him to purposely shy away or ignore anyone who needs help. I’d give him the benefit of the doubt. Mike

3LB Bass spit me
No one can tell you why with any degree of certainty without being there. Hook set? Condition of tackle? How was it hooked? Drag set? How were you bringing it in? etc etc Mike

The cover you cannot pass by
Don’t give up on it. With due respect, may I offer a suggestion? After you identify one of those holes, don’t try to cast into it. Throw past it about 10-15ft bringing it toward the hole with small straight line pulls between 2–4 second pauses. When you get to it, walk it inside before you move it out. If no hit, identify another and do the same all the way back. Unless there’s one directly under the first hole, be ready by the time you get to the 3rd or 4th. Mike
