Happy days are here again. My favorite spring sale is on. Wacky Worm in Gilbert, PA is holding its annual spring sale. Didn't buy much but got a good deal from a Mom & Pop shop. If you are in the Tri-state area stop in and pick up some good deals.

I think you need to stop drinking.

Plenty of places to fish the Delaware or Susquehanna from shore on the PA side. No need to buy a NJ license. There is a dirt road off of route 209 that leads along the Delaware. Also there are state run launch sites along both rivers that are good for fishing.

I know the feeling. Was watching some videos on YouTube and a clip of a smallmouth hitting a swimbait played and I was drooling. Hopefully we will have a mild spring with the normal amount of rain. Nothing fights like a river smallmouth.

Also any added attractants to your lures must include maple syrup.

The only way to overcome adversity is to keep on keeping on. Go after that big bag on Kentucky Lake.

Rarely do I fish 8-10 hours without a lunch break. Getting old means prioritizing health before fun. If I'm fishing long hours I will pack a sandwich, usually turkey and cheese, a pack of peanut butter crackers, water and Gatorade, not to mention a banana. Yea, I said it..banana on a boat. No silly superstitions for me. Except for my lucky underwear, worn on the outside of my pants.

Worth the price of what ever you paid to stay there.

I'm with about the DST. I personally wish they would keep it year-round. As far as starting the fishing season, I only wish that was true in my area but it does signal the coming of something better and it lifts my mood a bit.

The Hokkaido Ham Fighters. With a name like that, how can they lose?

Didn't Gerald Swindle have a story about getting off his boat and using someone's bushes as a makeshift porta-potty?

If I'm fishing deep, over 15 feet, I use half an ounce. Anything less than that, I use 3/8. Hardheads are great for dragging baits around sparse grass and logs laying on the bottom.

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

This one goes out to Robert Kraft.

Another vote for the tiny. Just like the one in my profile pic.

Attach a small gasoline powered motor to the back. Schuylkill County pinewood derby 1983 (disqualified).

Just be careful @Harold Scoggins. In this day and age everybody takes everything people say seriously. WICHITA, Kan. — A man’s playful warning before using the toilet inside a Kansas Home Depot store led to a 911 call Monday afternoon, according to The Wichita Eagle. According to a police report, someone in the bathroom said, “You all need to get out of here because I’m fixin’ to blow it up.” A store employee alerted security after another man, who had apparently overheard the “men’s bathroom humor,” walked out of a stall and said, “Somebody told me there’s a bomb in the building, you need to leave the building,” according to the paper. Officers responded to the store around 12:15 p.m. and tracked down the second man, later determined to be a regular customer, who told police “he had no intention of causing such alarm” and that the bomb comment was meant to be funny. The man said he had assumed the person who said it “was in a serious need to defecate, and that he was attempting to provide a polite warning to the other patrons of the bathroom,” according to a police report obtained by the Wichita Eagle. It’s not clear who made the initial joke, but Home Depot has declined to press any charges.

I use to have one of those "apps" but she moved in with her daughter in a town about 10 miles away. All I had to do was step out of my door and I heard the latest news on what was going on in the neighborhood. One time I came home from a week-long vacation and as I got out of my car I heard about every vehicle that had been parked in that spot since I left. I miss that app.

The 3" is for dropshotting and the 4.5" for the river in the fall. I use alewife and rainbow trout colors.

I bought a pack of Sizmic Shads to give them a try this spring. Not sure how the action is or if the tail gives a good vibration at moderate speed.

Man, you start them partying early in life don't ya.

Especially the kid that pees outside. BTW what is a fais-do-do? Do I need to get vaccinated against it?

Beautiful craftsmanship. You should be proud of yourself.
