Going cheap when fishing new spots
I don't buy expensive baits (all under $10) including Yammi Senkos and Rage Tail, and tungsten isn't that expensive. I will not feel bad when I lose them no matter where I'm fishing.

Cranking your outboard before heading to the lake
I do it when It sits awhile between outings (with muffs), but if I use it every other week I don't. I might blip it just to make sure the starter works. Iv'e done that a few times, but there is still water in the system when it does happen. I'll either shut off the motor or just trim down.

His first ever frog fish: Our first catches at a new to us spot the weekend after the tropical storm: Swinging Bridges Resivoir NY (Don't use the public boat ramp... when you come back ya gonna be trying to back up the trailer thru a block party....) A Snot Rocket (was actually peeling line off my baitcaster) and a Bronze Back: On a side note, we got to see 2 juvi and 1 adult Bald Eagle... so that was cool .

What Do You Bring For Lunch on the Water?
I'll bring snacks and some drinks, but for a lunch break we'll float up to a lake side restaurant, dock and eat at that establishment.

First jig bass + questions
I throw jigs year round and always to cover or structure. I don't throw them much in dense weeds or lilly pads though cause they tend to get caught up in them.

Boat wrapping
Whole boat, but that's the price for up here. So $1700 if I did my 17.5' boat. A stripe probably less.

Easy Way to Tie Braid to Fluoro and Mono
Yeah, I'll stick with the Alberto or Albright. If you want less knot, do the albright knot. I do 4 minimum wraps to keep the knot small.

Just discovered the Pad Crasher Jr.
Lol, I knew they were around and I am a fan of the regular Pad Crashers, but never bought any. A while back I found one at a lake I was fishing and put it in my tackle bag... Well last Thursday I tied it on and caught 2 fish on it, and again this past Saturday. Like some have said I'm pretty sure the fatties will eat it, but I've only caught under 2 pounders. Definitely going to buy some this time. By the way, I was chucking that thing on a Heavy Fast rod with 60 lb braid, and this frog casts a mile.
