Headlamps night fishing
I've been using my Thrunite TH10 and love it. It uses a one button operation to keep one had free, has moonlight mode to help preserve night vision. Since it is a powerful light (750 lumens on turbo) it uses a specialty battery an 18650 but you can get those through Amazon.

Latest Catch Pics Thread
Cranks never stop here, Ive caught them in 38* mornings last year. Top water I don't do much of it just felt right to throw one and that hefty girl was right there to grab it. I don't know how you guys do it up north but fishing year round is great for my blood pressure lol.

sunglasses
I just picked up a pair a few days ago and I really like the fit and finish. Look sunglasses are like leather wallets, a $20 wallet will hold your cash and cards just as well as a $90 wallet. Difference is you replace the cheaper one often (they start to fall apart) or you pay more up front and have a wallet that will out live you (Saddle back leather wallets, ect). Also they sell lanyards to avoid sunglasses for going over board, cheap insurance.

Winter morning fishing?
Here's what I learned At 5am in 39* weather your testicles migrate to your throat to stay warm, burrrrrrr Zero bites the entire morning, I threw everything that normally works. Sized up, sized down, went slow, went fast, then finally after 6 hours with no bites this morning I went home.

Do Birds in the area mean that there are bass nearby?
Colder waters mean bass are less active (more lethargic), they don't chase unless they feel it's worth it. Your just going to have to get it closer to them or present a lure they feel is worth chasing. No one but the bass can tell you what is worth chasing to them. Good luck.

Winter morning fishing?
I fished yesterday and really didn't catch anything until 1pm (arrived at 9am), so today I am already up (4am) so I probably go in about an hour so see if anything bites. If I get nothing and really don't see much activity in the early am I won't go any earlier then noon from this point on. But I won't know until I try, that and the piping hot cup of joe and gas station breakfast are apart of the fun :).

I was going to buy the Shimano CI4+ but decided instead to pick up a pair of Costa Del Mar Fisch Blackout & Blue Mirror. I already have a pair of Maui Jims with copper lens so I wanted something with a gray base for those bright summer days.

Costa and Maui Jim's are both great choices and avoids Luxottica if you want.

Summer Time Bank Fishing
A crank bait (like Rapala DT series) is a great way to cover a lot of area to find where they are hanging out at. When the water is warm bass are more likely to chase prey vs. colder water where they ambush more.

Duramax vs Cummins
As much as I like Cummins engine and turbos I prefer Fords quality over Mopar and Chevy.
