The NKJV of the Bible Since retiring, I’ve read 300 plus books. Most all are military history. I’ve read all of Stephen Ambrose’s work. Two books that hold me are On Killing by Dave Grossman who I met. The other is Baracoon. Anything by John Makos is eye opening. Most won’t take the time to read American Caesar but I’ve found no better record of Douglas MacArthur’s life and military career.

The Dobyns Xtreme 795 Flip/Punch is my really really good. Very light and perfectly balanced. If you get the Elite you will love it. Good shopping!

I ordered from his catalog. Baits are on their way.?

That’s what I expected.

I have both models. The 744 is noticeably faster and locks up quicker. The sweet spot for both is 1/2 ounce. Both are rock solid in heavier cover. The Xtreme can do a few more things well due to more flex before lock up.

Call Dobyns and ask them how that model (which is built on a Champion blank) aligns with the action and power of a Champion 805CB. If it’s close you are in business.

Clear Lake in mid April

Dobyns light hook in 1/8 and 3/16. Best keeper ever and a sharp hook.

And that is wisdom.

How to tie a leader to braid really really fast. How to skip a jig effectively. I definitely have waaay too much stuff.

Sieberts Outdoors has them in tungsten. I ordered some last night.

I’m sorry CATT. A very good friend lost his wife to ALS 13 years ago. It was hard to watch Norma have her life stolen from her by that disease.

Kaden 610-4cb. Black Friday should get you under the 150 figure.

The Dobyns Kaden 712SF is an amazing rod. It has a slightly faster action. It is a great drop shot rod and doubles as a shaky head stick. A number of our club youth anglers are running Ned rigs with them. This series has run out of stock multiple time already so something must be right. I already have two 2 powers so I’m running the 713 SF. I love it. FYI

We’re in trouble!

6th Sense Curve Finesse and or Strike King 1.5 Shallow will run at your desired depth range.

When punching was new, a tube was the go to plastic. Timmy Horton and Shaw Grigsby each won a BASS event punching tubes. I like to pitch craw tubes for largemouth. Remember Robert Lee flipping and pitching tubes on the Delta Tom?

I’ve narrowed my trailers down to the Zako, 3.8 Fat Impact and the SK Blade Minnow.

Grid Iron Dock Rocker wire tied is my favorite. Owner hook sticks them.

No need for me to respond. You nailed it!

Something to take into consideration regarding rip rap in the transition where the rock ends or what would be the deepest point of the grade. This line of the rip rap can be very irregular, provide current breaks and if the transition is to clay or mud, will concentrate crayfish.

Don’t give up on it.

I forgot the question

That’s Steelie. Right? Trout/Steelhead smolt. You should see it in the water! Great work Allen
