It doesn’t have so much to do with privacy, greed is the root of the problem

That’s the best color of Jerkbait!

“Sky is falling” is the standard reaction to 100% of exotic species

Hahaha no my attempt at an arrow…….. I sent it to my buddy and he had a similar reaction

So I’m up on the roof resetting the trap from last week where I caught an adult female squirrel but then heard more in the soffit. Well look who was watching me set the trap

Any comments on the departure of Ed O?

A pack of shakey heads ?

That’s stuff is usually in wal mart as well, although maybe a wal mart closer to the trout water would have better odds

Man I’ve almost done a few summersaults off the front deck when trolling motoring through stumpy sloughs! Put the speed on 2 is my advice haha

There was only a single bat at this house today, so I just plucked it out with a stick and put it on a tree Then we put painted 1/4” wire mesh on all the vents

I was trying to say you can get them either way. I can also pick and choose what days to fish, but I choose them all. Seems like a no brainer, fish are unpredictable and you might get surprised with a monster size on a day when you thought the conditions were wrong. as to which conditions do I prefer, all I can think of is no waves please. And if it’s pouring rain all my hooks get rusted

Funny I was looking back through my old October photos from years past just yesterday. Lots of nice 20” smallies. One particular year I found pics of nice fish in the sunshine in short sleeves and in the same week, nice fish bundled up in the freezing cold with clouds. So for me the fish don’t change up or move much. The one thing I can rely on in fall is heavy current because they lower the two 30,000 acre lakes upstream of me 30-40 feet apiece. All that volume has to come ripping right by me and the fish set up in predictable spots and eat I remember this week fairly well. This fish was October 26 2017 after work, warm and sunny And these two were 3 days later on a Saturday morning oct 29, 2017 in freezing conditions with some sideways snow All 20”+, the middle one was skinny and decrepit but the bottom one was a beast around 21.5” don’t need it stable , don’t need it sunny, don’t need it cloudy. I just need to go fishin

I always use as big of a hook as I can find, which in my boat is 5/0. It’s hard to hook them but still fun trying! River smallies will absolutely pummel those things

I think I have a copy of that movie

That’s just screams Tennessee

Getcha keitech 2.8 on a round ball head and let it go waaaaay down there to em. Or if you’re like me and cheap, use the sassy shad

A bunch of my folks make ethanol too…….

Haha!! Yeah when I go downtown I keep some loose change in each pocket . We have some unusually aggressive panhandlers in my town and my favorite way to get them out of your bubble Is just hand them some change and keep walking. Plenty of times we just tell them we don’t have cash but then they just keep following along behind you

Holy %#*^

I’ve never used braid for trout, but any brand should work. Always go as light as possible for anything trout related. Unless of course you fish up north with @J Franchofor 15 lb trout

Depends on the size of the shakey head, duh. You don’t want to throw a 1/2 oz, 6/0 shakey head with a 10 inch worm on a finesse spinning outfit

Winterized??? My brother said it’s in the mid sixties in Philly today

He’s fun to watch! I watched a bit on his early career once. His high school or college coach (I can’t remember which) called him a football Mozart, I thought that was a great description

Mountain lake with spots……. Are you in Georgia or NC? Spots love shakey heads, paddle tails, and topwater

I went to ace hardware in shorts and flip flops………
