I know the feeling I have a ‘65 GTO National show winner. Between that and fishing, sometimes I’m surprised we lasted 51 yrs!! ? Mike

Based on answers to questions about using a t rig, this type of rigging and retrieve hardly ever gets mentioned. Using a bead with a fall, shake, move... Is one of the first I learned and still use with certain types of plastics. Mike

Congratulations Good Job!! Mike

Almost always a creature bait of some sort. Lately the Rage Bug has been my first choice, with either the regular size brush hog or Rage craw next. In “medium” cover I use a 1/4 oz. In “heavy” cover I’ll start with a 3/4 and go up from there. Mike

S&W Model 686 .357 Mag I don’t carry all the time. Mike

Since I don’t have a boat I’m always adjusting and changing what I’m doin and what I’m using, to what the boater decides to do, It’s just the way it is. But one thing it does do is force me to adjust on the fly which in some ways have made me better at making quicker and better adjustments. Problem is sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Mike

Congratulations Great Job!! Mike

Nope I tried but just can’t do it. As much as I’d love to carry just what I plan to use for the day, I can’t do it. If I lived on a lake or had a pond within walking distance of the house then probably. Over the past 10 yrs or so, I fish more tournaments than fun fish. Ive probably gone through 4-5 different bag types to find the one to help me be the most efficient in finding what I want with the least amount of wasted time or decision making. It’s like having 3 or 4 rigs ready to go and other lure options at my finger tips, instead of bringing 2 and taking 10 min to decide and find what I need to rig, and not having it. Been there and done that. Mike

Thanks Pal! Mike
