TTT If only for this fool. Even with 50 degree temps, hat, hood, sunglasses, I'm feeling it on my face today.

There are a couple good comparison videos out there, like I have a gt52 on my kayak and gt56 on my boat and I see a huge difference. Difference between gt54 and gt56 is not nearly as great, based on the videos I've seen.... but there certainly is better definition from the gt56.

+1. I have the 93 OEM bail mount flush; no swivels or balls.

How will you ever know?

94 strike cured me...I fell off the wagon a little in each of a few recent Octobers when Brewers were still playing late...but 3 to 6 games a year is a far cry from the 100+ I watched or listened to before 94. I still tend to give umps the benefit of my doubt most of the time, but fully acknowledge that there were always a few that were willing to insert themselves into the contest.

If they can switch over to automation for all ball/strike calls, I'm in. I just don't like replays, delays, overrulings, etc. Not much of a replay fan....for most calls in most sports. If you can fully automate the call, great.

But it's not really 10 cups... like @MN Fisherdescribes I put water in the maker to the 10-cup line, but I use big mugs, so I really only have about 4 or 5 a day. Nothing fancy, seven scoops of Folgers or Maxwell House, whichever is on sale....often one of those scoops will be vanilla flavor Folgers. No milk, cream, sugar or anything else

Down to ten cups per day

Interwebs says starts at 75-76. But, also, that there's a waiting list. No doubt that will mean a 10-25% premium in the short term.

Green pickup? Saw one on 95 just north of Richmond a couple weeks ago. Definitely a head-turner. I was surprised I hadn't heard of it before. Not an entry-level truck

I'm not sure any bass fishing 'personality' (at least in the last several years) get more of his videos and opinions discussed....here and elsewhere. I rarely watch him anymore, and usually disagreed when I did. But I will acknowledge his genius.

I really thought the BerleyPro shade would help more than it does. Turns out that it shades screen when sun is high. But that Garmin screen is really quite good when the sun is high. Wouldn't say it was a waste, but not near the necessity I thought

I have 9 inch at my right knee. Would probably have trouble adjusting to anything bigger...or out of comfortable arm's reach.

I vote sensitive. I observe someone asking pretty open question and crapping on someone trying to help. I suspect that when folks have more information about the situation, they just might be in a position to offer better suggestions. But, I will try to withhold my judgement until we hear what your lawyer says.

Only you can answer this. For me, rod decisions are very personal. Identically rated rods of different models will just feel so different. Throw each of those listed lures with each rod for at least a half dozen casts. Land a fish on each. Maybe one will be your perfect spinnerbait or chatterbait rod. The first one looks like could be an ideal light t-rig rod. Do you throw 1/8 oz trig with a different rod than those two? Are these both spinning...or both casting? Can you skip better with one over the other? I would absolutely keep both until I learn that one just doesn't suit me....or doesn't get used much

Ours started blooming about ten days ago....and sure enough, I caught a few in less than 3 FOW from the dock. Interestingly, I saw something from the county offering me a dogwood, if I cut down the Bradford Pear...lol. If it was a pink dogwood, I'd take them up on it. I sorta promised the wife last year that I'd get her a pink dogwood. I guess I should get on that before I get reminded.

I get Chicken Bryan from Carrabas every few months. Between that and pizza from a local Indian joint, I'm good....oh...and Stouffer's lasagna. Eating in Italy was entirely different experience than anything I've ever had here. I'd prefer Italian food in Rome or Palermo, but for here, I'm not picky

Not at all uncommon to use two different kayaks.

Pick a calm day for your first trip. I drive up and down 15 a few times a year, and I have stopped just to admire Briery. Last fall, I had my kayak and 4 or 5 hours of slop in my schedule, so I dropped the Hobie in, despite a bit of chop. In my mind, all those visible stumps were in 3 foot of water. Not even close. There are 'stumps' just below the surface even in 36 FOW. I managed to cross the lake to try to get out of the wind, but it was scary. After about 90 minutes, the chop turned to full blown white caps and coming back was pretty terrifying. I tried to retrace my path with GPS on my Garmin, but it wasn't much help. I can handle rough water .... and I can handle obstacles ... but together, they put my mind in a bad place. Only other time I recall feeling like that was when I hit a confluence of two currents, with heavy crosswind and rocks. I look forward to getting back, but it will a day when I can see the trees and navigate safely around them.

Sometimes I wonder if it is a big part of BPS' strategy

I think you're already there....but don't write off all screwlock applications. One hook/spring combination might prevent any hookups. Another could be perfect. I use Owner Twistloc in probably 90% of my t-rigged and weightless plastics. But I hate spring baitholder on some jigheads, like shaky. So....it depends

Welcome. This is my story, as well....almost all of it. Except I am from SE WI, I got my first kayak in maybe 2014.... and now I fish VA/NC mostly

Maybe I haven't been paying attention....but I thought red in mid-late winter was because crayfish are generally redder then

I am not sure I have ever caught a fish I saw on my sonar. But I am 100% certain that sonar helps me catch fish. Some of the biggest things I get from my electronics: - certain times of the year, the bait schools in such a way as to really drive bass locations. Being able to eliminate creek arms or branches is huge - I absolutely find fish oriented to brush, logs, rocks, and other stuff that I would never have found without sonar - finding grass depth and weedlines is possible without sonar, but is so much better and faster with it - seeing what depths fish are hanging at during certain times of the year is critical to catching them, even if you target them on drops close to shore - seeing where bait and fish are oriented on huge points is far easier with sonar than fan casting c-rig blindly
