Anybody Ever Get Caught Without Their License?
I have always had my license with me when I fished but now I don't have to worry about it, over 65 years of age in Mississippi you are not required to have a license. Second thought, I guess I have to worry that I have my drivers license with me.

Spinning Reel Fishing Line
I have used Berkley Sensation with great results as far as line twist go. I did go back to Power Pro yellow with leader just because I need a line I can see. I still use Sensation on my cranking reels and love it. I think it is worth trying. Sensation is a mono line.

Skin Cancer Screening
Just to echo what Sam said, go get checked. I go to the dermatologist every 6 months. He freezes at least five places every visit. I have had 3 places cut out, 2 being cancer. I am 68 and lived in the sun for at least 64 of them years. I take it very serious. I wear a big hat with the flap in the back, long sleeves and gloves plus use sun screen. It is never too early to start covering up. I shared this in one thread but I just wanted to show what can happen. As bad as it looks, it really turned out pretty good, you can hardly see a scar.

Gluing plastics
I use Loctite Super Gel when I have to glue plastic to the jig, works great. It will leave a little plastic if you want to take it off but you can use a knife and scrape/cut off the little plastic that is left on the jig.

I believe the Tackle Warehouse July 4th sale will be 15%, the only time it is 20% is Black Friday, could be wrong.

Co Angler Tackle Storage
I use a small Plano tackle box that I won by catching a tag fish in my local lake. I use it when I go with one of my fishing buddies. It carries all I need for a day fishing including plastics. I don't think I ever had to ask to borrow something.

Z Man TRD, really any of the Z Man products because they stand up on the bottom and will always have some movement.

Chatter Bait Technique
It is kinda like a Ned rig, there is no wrong way to fish it. I fish it much like a spinnerbait. My favorite shallow water technique is to just reel it under the surface.

Fishing/outdoor “fashion”
Everyone can certainly wear what they want but I am wearing long sleeve spf 50 shirts all the time. I also wear gloves and a big hat with the hanging down flap in the back. I been in the sun over 60 years and not protected myself and now I am paying for it. Skin cancer is nothing to play with. I have had several cut off and a whole lot burnt off. It happen to me and it can happen to you. Like I said, it's your choice. Hear is a pic of my last skin cancer cut off. I am not trying to scare anyone but skin cancer is real. I could have bought a lot of crankbaits and worms for what it cost to remove one of these things.
