The most expensive lure I have is the Berkley Frittside, then I wait until it goes on sale.

How many miles do you go to fish?
My main 3 ramps are probably 10-12 minutes from the house. My ramp that is farthest away is 25 minutes.

How Much Wind Is Too Much?
I really don't like to fish over 10mph wind. MY fishing hole is 33,000 acres of shallow water and it can get pretty rough!!!!

bought a few fishing licenses.
Don't fish anywhere than my state and I get my license for free. There is some advantage to being 75yo.

Ninja Grass Blade Mounting
Had one on at least eight years. Got a new trolling motor and removed it from the old motor and put it back on with some 3m tape I ordered. Still no problem. You do not have to take it off to sharpen it, just the prop.

Most tackle lost
I hardly lose lures, when you fish shallow you can get most back, I do lose some to hitting rocks and breaking the bill off. I have a pole retriever that helps get snagged lures back.

Do you mainly fish from the bank or boat?
98% boat, The only time I fish from the band is when I fish the ponds at the golf course.

Do you scuff your worms?
Not a scuffer but I do add scent!!!

bladed jig colors
As most of my baits, my color selection is very limited. I throw Green Pumpkin, Chart,/white and Red/Orange early in the year.

Ned rig grub?
I have fished the Z Man lineup since they come out, they catch fish, They are the cheapest to use because they last forever, as long as you don't hang up and have to break off. I also like that they stand up on the bottom., great for dead sticking. I am mainly use the TRD and the Finesse Worm in Junebug or Green Pumpkin.

How do you set your drag?
I lock the drag down on my bait casters, if big fish, push the thumbar and use my thumb as a drag. This is probably not the smartest but it works for me.

Sloped driveway
I see 3 solutions, get a different hitch, or different jack, or different house. When I bought my last house, we had a hard time finding one because I wanted my boat in the garage. Nearly drove my wife crazy!!!

Big bait talk
I thinking throwing those big baits would wear me out at my age. All I throw is lightweight stuff, the biggest thing I throw is a 8" lizard. '

Hank Parker ever so gracious…
Always been a fan of Hank, his most famous line, "put them on the scales Dewey". Glad you had a good time at the boat show!!!

What´s your favorite lure for spawning Bass?
In my part of the world a Zoom 8" lizard in Junebug is the ticket. Throw it past the bed and worked slow, then slow down some more!!!

What do you think about eating bass?
I have nothing against keeping and eating bass, I fed my family fish when I had kids. The whole family loved it. I caught 90% from a 12 acre lake that needed small fish to be taken out. I never kept anything over 2 pounds, Now days I still kept some ever now and then but never over 3 pounds, my reservoir has a over 14 inch rule.

a surprise success
I think blue is one of those "sleeper" colors. I picked up some blue crankbaits last week, excited to try them out. Bill Dance once said you can use any color plastic worm as long as it is blue. Where did I put that Color-C-Lector?
