I even flip my drop hitch upside down to create such an effect

I like the front to be raised up slightly higher than the back, I drive through a lot of downpours

I’d put that more in the “no real pros” camp lets just say I stripped it off on purpose before 3 years i try to maximize time with hook in the water above all other things, therefore tying leaders is not something I want to do

These folks found some good fishing, then again they are direct descendants of Roland Martin

I dont even purchase them and they are melted onto my boat several times a year, even in winter. for a super durable bait, I sure do have a lot of friends with dozens and dozens of packs of them, you’d think they only need 2 or 3

I said (probably verbatim) what the OP meme says years ago after trying the braid/leader thing on spinning for a couple years. I found no real pros and plenty of cons

I’ve never bought z man elaztech for two reasons and the first being price (second is they melt). I’m far more likely to lose the hook/plastic than rip the plastic

Who needs teeth when you drink your corn from a mason jar??

Yesterday evening’s view. I didn’t take this photo but I was standing there when she did

I’ve got an old jon boat and an old canoe but no old bass boat

I live about 1.5 miles from the water so any anxiety is short lived

I’ve got a whole bunch of cranks and Jerkbaits that I’ve left in boxes for years and the hooks rusted. I was switching out a few the other day and pondered if being too big was a problem, thanks for insight now I can use some hooks I thought were too big for certain baits

You don’t need a garmin in the river! Just stick your pole or paddle in to see if it’s 2 feet or 3 feet

That’s slicker’n a peeled onion

I’ve caught some nice largemouth that bit like a bluegill. ive also never seen a time when it was too hot for largemouth to attack anything, and I’ve fished a lot of 90 degree water with air temps at 100

I’ll be in central Florida in February, are gator haters allowed???

Ditto. I had a good outing with two of them but I can’t remember where the heck I put them ha ha

I’ve caught a few without a tail whatsoever and I’ve caught a couple like the one in your picture. funny story: there was a graduate student doing a project on grey squirrels years ago and he painted the tails of a few of them fluorescent Orange. The next day all the ones he painted had chewed the hair off their own tails. No squirrel wants to be high vis !!

Hopefully your creek did not get blown away. I like grubs on a jig head In places like that

Gator is some of the finest meat I’ve ever had. August is the open season in some states!

You can also take the head loose and re install it for mounting transom mount on the bow

I believe he was quite drunk, had many DUI so decided to travel the river

Congrats! I’m joining that club in 3 weeks

I remember the first time I saw that , I wigged out pretty bad and slung the bat down into a customers shower hahaha. (I had just plucked it off the shower curtain ). got a skunk and a groundhog so far today
