I like mushrooms and all but that looks like alien guts

I like your city. Sounds like a great place for the OP to move to

An old pickup truck will set you free. Throw it in the back, strap her down, let’s go fishin. Daylight is a wastin’!

Waders, boots, rod, lures....... good to go !! (ive ran that checklist through my head a few million times)

Only one accident is good, we have 12-15 most years it seems

He’s legal in Ohio, it’s been discussed in another thread. Felt has been proven that it doesn’t transport exotics any worse than rubber

He says he needs more role players but sequesters 70% of the salary. He only needs to look at the QB that beat him in the NFC championship to witness the winning formula: take a little paycut if you want to win a championship in a team game and surround yourself with better talent

To my knowledge there is no speed limit on any lakes/rivers anywhere near me, several states included

My fiancé and future mother in law also love catfish. I like eating them ok but prefer other species, they just love catfish all the time. Rachel likes catching them too but not at night

I fill my jug with one every morning , it’s a lot faster than the sink (no pressure reducer)

Nice

I don’t think I’ve ever gotten them with topwater . They like it a lot better in summer, fall, and sometimes dead of winter

The ones you bought are good to go man. You don’t need booties, you need boots. Wading boots. This is not that hard!!!

And the vulture, and the snapping turtle, and the house fly, and the earthworm, and me! Fish is good food

Drop shot

The only way to prevent it completely would be to quit fishing. It happens, say a few words and pour some out for a fallen friend. If you ate it, kudos to you because that is the respectful and delicious thing to do

Yes what you got has booties (stocking feet) attached to the waders. And it’s all waterproof, the boots that go on the outside will fill up with water but it doesn’t matter because your waterproof stocking feet are inside the shoes

A stocking foot is a neoprene bootie. You put wading boots (or any big shoes) on the outside of what is in the picture. They don’t have to seal to anything because the stocking foot (neoprene bootie) is waterproof Finished product looks like this. What you need to purchase is “wading boots”. I would recommend felt soles

The best bait here is a skipjack herring (1-2 lbs) or gizzard shad. Best artificial is buck tail or topwater. They also love cut bait sitting ON the bottom. My Buddy got a 26 lber with a dead bluegill that was floating when the striper hit it. They are a hunger breed

I hate buying tackle but I have to sometimes, mostly I just get 1/8oz round ball jig heads. I get more pleasure out of giving/throwing stuff away.

I also jump along with the bass

Ummmm yea........ you don’t have to look far to see it first hand. Some people can’t walk, some have Alzheimer’s and their families never sleep, some people don’t have arms or legs, yet live everyday to the fullest. They would love to trade for a lack of taste

I could listen to this one on loop for a while. Good description of life in Appalachia about 2 generations ago “Apple brandy or sour mash, it don’t make a d**n to me. It’ll get there full and it’ll get there fast but it ain’t gonna get there for free”

Cleats are great for land, horrible for river rocks

You gotta be a little tougher than that!!!
