Best wishes for a better year Glen! I understand your position, both my parents are in their late 80's and I also have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. First "red flag" was high PSA count followed by a biopsy to confirm. Fortunately in my case it was caught very early (because of PSA test)and I am on a program called "active surveillance" so they can monitor the growth or spreading until the time where treatment is needed.

Do NOT use credit cards! Do NOT settle for something you really do not want! Keep saving! Just my two cents.

Thrift with the win, Thought A. Montgomery would of had a much better week but he flopped bad.

Just my opinion, but it happens to often now, this is the 4th in Tennessee alone.

Sad news to report out of Tennessee this morning on Kentucky Lake. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency responded to a report of a two-boat collision on the West Sandy portion of Kentucky Lake in Henry County at approximately 5 p.m. on Friday, Mar. 10, 2023. The boating incident resulted in one fatality of a 39-year-old man. TWRA preliminary investigation indicates that a Triton boat and a Javelin boat collided, ejecting all occupants of both boats into the water. Two occupants were able to return to the boats. However, the operator of the Javelin was missing. Several local fishermen responded to the collision to assist the boaters. TWRA used a remote operating vehicle (ROV) to locate and recover the body of TJ Long, a resident of Dresden. Assisting agencies include Henry County Sheriff’s Department, Henry County EMS, and Paris-Henry County Rescue Squad. This is the fourth boating related fatality on Tennessee waters this year.

Ice? That goes in my bourbon and sweet tea.

Stick Bait with 3/16 or 1/4oz pegged weight 20lb Fluro or 30lb braid, Pitch to the millions of brush piles(LOL) good luck. It is like the haystack needle.

You might be a rich man.

In Fl. its primarily the Largemouth.

It has been my experience that when faced with rising water, whether tidal or runoff to fish shallow close to bank with a plastic around cover. Rising water levels will move bass shallower on cover or structure. In grass, bass will move to the inside edges and spread out more. Bushes, Laydowns fish will move to the center of the bush or laydown. Docks, bass will move to the walkways and where dock connects to bank. Points/drops, fish will move up the point or off the drop, often scattering on nearby flat. Creeks, bass will move to the thickest bank related cover they can find. Rocks, fish will become more bottom oriented and move progressively shallower as the water level rises. Just my 2 cents R/Ski

That secret is out after the MLF boys were there and evryone wittnessed the giants they caught.

Bussey Brake has been one of Louisiana’s top-producing bass lakes for years, but the action there has been especially hot this winter, with anglers breaking the lake record twice in February. Todd Herrington of Bastrop caught a 13.58-pound largemouth on Feb. 13, but his record wouldn’t stand for long. It was broken on Feb. 26 by Arkansan Robert Rush, whose 15.36-pound bucketmouth ranks as one of the top 10 biggest bass ever recorded in the state, according to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.

Being here in Fl. the swimming worm is always rigged and on the deck. This is a new one I had to have.

Just ordered this one, and thanks for the replies.

Thanks, It appears to be more of a knife sharpener then a designated hook sharpener.

In need of one.

How do they hold up? The reviews I read were not impressive. 1. They catch fish no doubt about that but they’re only good for 1 to 4 catches. Then they are beyond repair and no good. 2.Fished with the cichlid model for around 2 hrs caught one fish, and discovered that the paint job on these is horrible. It is already peeling off. Besides that, not real impressed with the overly wobbly swimming action. And the fin which is supposed to guard the hook is so flimsy that the hook pops out on every cast. $10 is too much for this bait. 3. Lost the eyes after 2 hours of use. 4. Kinda disappointed bought a bunch early shared them with close friends n family. They all say the same thing the hook comes out causing it to swim sideways. The dorsal fin is closed in front which I believe to be a flaw. I’ve used it only briefly and immediately went back to dark sleeper. They look amazing though. 5. I was excited to see how the new sleeper gills preformed but was super disappointed with these, plastic is low quality and gets torn up fast and the action is a lot worse than the original dark sleeper, I've also noticed it catches a lot less and smaller fish than the dark sleeper, and the dorsal fin constantly gets stuck underneath the hook causing it to swim sideways.
