Columbia Craw

Oh Katie, I had mine done in December a week apart. The results are miraculous for me. The actual procedures were incredibly easy and very brief. The regimen of drops post surgery is the only inconvenience. I can drive at night safely now, wear regular sunglasses and supplement 2.0 readers for the fine print. You’ll do great!!👍

Contrast is your friend.

When you view the technology in hooks currently, there are numerous options for good hooks. I’m more inclined to consider hook design over who makes it. My hook boxes contain Gamakatsu, Owner, Robo Worm, Ryugi, Hyabusa, BKK, Mustad, VMC, 6th Sense and even a few Trokar.

Your rod, reel and line are a system. You can alter any one of the three to fine tune the system-if you want to. I look at the technique and lure and apply the rod action, length, material and power what I think best suits my need. Then I apply the line type. The reel is the easiest. You know your rod is too moderate when you have to run to the rear deck on a hook set to lock up the blank.

You smoked it! Shocks, pegs, luckeee.

Columbia River. I like it from tidal affected lower portions to the upper reaches. Much of the scenery is spectacular. It can be treacherous when the wind blows. The smallmouth pull hard and knock a Super Spook three feet in the air. I’d rate it 4.78329. Old photo.

Always know I’m next to you whispering sweet nothings in your ear so you will think it’s the next new lure, rod or reel that will make it great but that is not true.

Cael, I’m 71 and have been fishing all my life. I still don’t consider myself a strong bass angler. Here are some attributes that will contribute to being successful. Attitude: Move at your own pace. Be teachable and know the days you don’t catch them may provide the greatest lessons. Priorities: Keep bass fishing fun. Fishing should never be work but it does require effort. Never go into debt to acquire the tackle or other items that will come with fishing. Versatility: Be ready to fish different kinds of water. Look for opportunities to go to diverse fisheries. Find techniques that are common on as many locations and times of year as is reasonable. Goals: Set reasonable goals and plan them out and prioritize them. Find other anglers and share your goals. Student: Be a student of the bass, their environment and reproductive cycle. The biology of fish and where and how they live is amazing. Realist: Bass fishermen and women that are not pros but avid and committed can teach you just as much as any pro. Giver: Be a giver and not just a taker. That means being a good sportsman and example to others. Courtesy goes along way. Now share your successes and questions because members here on BR are awesome.

PBJ, Gatorade, water, and trail mix. I like apples in the fall.

Taking my personal experience, I don’t care to fish on any waters where a tournament is taking place.

I love how bass fight. But the most memorable tug of wars came from sturgeon and ling cod.

Nailed it.

Max Scent Flat Worm in green pumpkin is my best producing drop shot bait. Someone has them for $3.00 bucks right now.

Old man, look at my life. I’m a lot like you were.

I agree with A-Jay fully but would add one consideration. When bass are shallow on a really steep bank the popper At its best to me. When you put the popper right on bank and if you move it eight feet it’s over 20 feet of water. That is popper time for sure.

Maybe this is why Scheels is running the CT for a hundred bucks.
