Something tells me the heavy Manila envelope served on me today by my wife is not a Father’s Day gift.

Power shot, Tokyo rig or free rig.

I felt guilty……for this long.

That was initial thought. We’re both sick.

Sorry.

If you crank it, they will come.

Evander Holyfield. As long as I’m married, my ear will be chewed on.

Yes. It has a very fast tip and locks up quickly.

I have no thoughts…. I’m growing a beard. Seriously, current is your friend. Current will help dictate how the fish position themselves. Current breaks are or should be identifiable and get priority when searching for fish. Fish seek current breaks to seek resting places and to wait for feeding opportunities. They like having the waitress bring the burger to them on roller skates while relaxing. Current moves bait. Intermittent current surges can generate feeding windows. Look for places where current is generated, dams, canal locks, feeder creeks, irrigation locks, flood control culverts and so on. Bring you bait with the flow. That’s natural. Tidal current is a different animal. The nice thing is you can time it. Outgoing after a high tide is the most productive. It pulls bait, condenses vegetation and positions the fish. Hope this helps.

Mine is not the first bass I ever caught. It’s the first bass on a Texas rigged worm. It was the most eye opening bite I’d ever had to that point. It truly changed the way I thought of a bass. It’s fixed in my memory, which I have going for me.

The Hooked Up Tackle in Arizona has a huge amount of JDM tackle.

Norman’s deep little N in translucent yellow perch.

I don’t fish muddy water deeper than four feet. Although cranking is not my first choice, if rock is involved, a larger 2.0 size bait that has noise and a wide wobble can work. Water displacement is important so fish can sense it in their lateral line. These color patterns are about it for me.

My son and I watched my grandson play his last baseball game of the season yesterday. This was at the same field my son played at and coached his teams for three years. That was over thirty five years ago. My son and I made some special memories over those three years. It was a special day to see my boy watch his boy and it was time to pass the torch. Desmond had an incredible season in spite of having a split home. His mother has issues. But Desmond’s desire to play and his ability to grow as a player and teammate helped his mom to take a special interest in her son that she had not demonstrated until this year. Most rewarding was my son’s commitment to see the healthy values of sports I taught him being emphasized and installed every day. My son works a schedule that did not permit him to go to Saturday games so it was Papa’s responsibility to fill in. What a joy. Desmond played well, is a great teammate, a good sport, dedicated and had so much fun. We have a short season to play fall ball and that looks promising. This experience was the best!

Normally I’m pretty sensitive of this topic.
