that pic makes you look like a crazy person ? must have been fun!

fwiw, i was busting off 12 lb fluoro, at the knot, on the hook set, with a 7’ MH rod. i had to do something. i went up to 15 lb line and switched from a Palomar knot to the one Shaw Grigsby uses. so far, so good. just my two cents.

take it apart and clean/lube it. then see how she does. ?

glad to see Andy finally get himself a trophy. well deserved for a truly good man.

same here at the Mooresville/Lake Norman location in NC. we also have a newly opened Academy. best of both worlds i suppose. but not the same for our local Gander Outdoors. i see them going out of business for the second time in the last five years.

Keith is my kind of people ?

i did that for a few years when i was a younger man. a 12’ johnny, clamp-on trolling motor, and a battery fit perfectly in the bed of my 66 Chevy pick up truck. i slid the boat in transom first with all the gear detached, secured the boat with a rope tied to the handle on the front and the rest is history. i stowed the boat upside down on two saw bucks at the house, flipped it over, and it slid perfectly in and out of the truck. git r done ?

YES!

High Rock is a real good largemouth lake for sure and it gets beat to death, especially on the weekend. i’ve had some magical days over there. it can muddy up a bit after heavy rains too. pay attention to your map if the water is low. Lake Norman should be on fire in April and it’s mostly smallish spotted bass but they’ll fight you like a crazy person. they should be right on the bank, on docks, and secondary points. downsizing can help with catching numbers. boat traffic can be a nightmare on the weekend, depending on the weather.

i love me some junebug but, by all means, try it and see for yourself ? i fish some lakes and they really love the junebug, others, not so much

that’s what God made Ospreys for

they probably thought it was me.....again ?

thank you for everything Forest

thanks Mike, these stories are great ?

dang

when the squirrels are down on the ground feeding it means that the bass are biting i am not a crack pot
