Thank you for the offer! I'm in Massachusetts.

Any tips for packing rods? I have around 15 and don't want the movers to break them. Thanks!

Where can you even fish around there after Irvine Lake closed?

Congrats!

Nice! What brand are those blade baits?

I always wear my NRS Chinook while kayaking. I don't even notice it anymore and the pockets are awesome. I had a friend who refused to wear a PFD. He was fishing in a canoe with another friend and they tipped over when he missed a hookset. He got caught up in milfoil and drowned. It took a couple days to locate his body.

Nice! What do you throw on that and what line are you using?

That was a hilarious response. I wouldn't let them on my property! My BIL had two lots he inherited in FL that were declared wildlife sanctuaries for scrub jay. He couldn't do a darn thing with the lots but pay taxes.

I like Keitechs jigs.

@WRB Thank you for sharing these stories! We've learned so much from you over the years.

That looks way too small for an adult and that seat looks super uncomfortable. I would look at something more like a Hurricane Kayak with a frame seat. A lot more money but... KTP has their kayaks at demos days in the spring and summer. https://hurricaneaquasports.com/our-kayaks/recreational-kayaks/prima-110-sport/

I don't know about Ohio, but here in Massachusetts, I took a course taught by the local chapter of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary. It was amazing how much I learned. It was an all day in person class with 5 instructors. After the class, we took a test and if you passed you received a boater safety card. If you have the opportunity to take a class from the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, I would say go for that. I believe their primary mission is to promote recreation boater safety. After seeing how some people operate their boats, I wish it was a requirement to buy a boat!

Shhhh...I am trying to keep my Louis Vuitton crankbait color a secret.

I hope they don't try to change the products/make them "better" by using cheaper ingredients or offshore manufacturing.

That sounds like an awesome job! What do you do?

I wasted time watching it too. It was disappointing. I have HBOmax so at least I didn't have to leave the house. I am starting to wonder if I should keep HBOmax. Not much I want to watch there.

Can you share more info about this critical thinking forum? Sounds interesting.

You guys should try a Vietnamese Bahn Mi grilled pork sandwich on a baguette with an iced coffee. Tasty!

I think MH is the way to go with these baits. I also use a Loomis MBR783c. I did use an Abu Garcia Veritas M in the past and i was always afraid I was going to snap the thing even though that rod runs a little heavier than other mediums.

I always loved that deal. They stopped sending me promo emails last year too.
