lo n slo

sorry to hear that brother

texas rigged worm

in times like these, i’m glad that i’m retired from the city water works. ☝️ carry on

glad to meet you

well said

henway ?

good man

wake boats and skiers get my blood up

fish lakes other than my home lake which is 10 minutes away. there are several really good lakes within an hours drive of the house. gonna do that.

i have a 50/10/2 that’s at least 20+ years old and still working. now i use it for my jon boat batteries primarily but she used to be the workhorse for my old Sea Nymph.

i think The Ozark Mountain Daredevils wrote a song about that ☝️

dibs on the native craw!

i can get three 25 count packs of Gamakatsu offset shank worm hooks (3.0) for around $50 +/-, and i WILL use them.

all of the above. i like a drop shot or a shakey head on deep structure fished s l o w l y. they will also school up with largemouth, stripers, and hybrids. have a casting spoon tied on in case you see circling birds. edit: i love me some spots

1.25 each? i hate you ?

man, i hate to hear that brother. lost both of my parents within a few years of each other. it’s normal to grieve and it gets easier as time goes by.

back in my lane now 10

i joined the Marines out of high school, went to work for the city water works at 23 and retired 30 years later (7 yrs ago) with insurance til medicare eligible, and a state pension/401K. i now do part time carpentry for cash because it’s what i want to do. i aint rich but i am content and realize that sweetheart benefits like i have are a thing of the past. that being said, there are no perfect jobs imo. i worked nights, weekends, Christmas, kids sporting events, tons of on-call duty, etc. sometimes it stunk and sooner or later something or someone is gonna grate on your nerves, bad. how you handle those issues makes a BIG difference in your overall happiness. that’s something you’re gonna have to bring to the job yourself. good luck brother.

if you get the insurance figured out, retire.
