The bass schooled me on jigs today
Had the same issue. Went to a 1/4 or 3/8 ounce with a light wire hook and things started to fall into place. Shortening your cast will also help. With time it becomes second nature. I believe most that struggle are not setting hard enough to get the weight out of the mouth and stick the room of the mouth. Guys whose gear isn't stout enough find themselves slacklining to compensate

Trail Cam Fees?
To access many trail cam systems remotely there needs to be a cloud base system involved and that means data, and power supply, so yes. My trail cams have memory cards and I check them every few days, so no cloud based storage is required.

does anyone fish sinking jerkbaits?
I usually add a clip in lieu of direct tie, to get it to be a nose down, slow drop for Summer fishing

Pitching Into Bushes/Heavy Cover
If your concerned about getting hung up, through the baby (child) rig. Casting to gnarly stuff should not create overrun. To help with pitching, practice on land, it's the best way of training your thumb

Mice!

Fixing a Weak Hookset
Hard to add to the above but I was in a similar situation with the Fat Ika a few years ago. Spinning set up with 4/0 EWG......I went to a Shaunessey (sp) bend and it was fixed.....also used the EWG on a baitcaster and it was fixed. Moral of my story,,,,, match rod, line and hook better. PS, use offset ewg's when you need ewg

I love good news! We celebrated our 38 last weekend and I am shocked to see how many of my friends chose to go in other directions. You must be living right!

I'm a believer in the dark sleeper!
I too fell in love with this bait this Spring and it comes through cover far better than I expected

Anyone ever used (or use) a MH/MF rod for weightless Texas rigs?
If I had to choose one action for all my rigs it would be MBR "like". I just get more fish in the boat. That said it could just be compensation for a quick twitch?. I throw Fat IKA on a Medium MBR......GLX or Conquest (thank God I have a loomis guide in the family)

Tight Line or Slack Line hookset?
This made me think and I lime many are in the middle. I do a lot of light wire techniques and for those I am a tight liner. For big TRigs and jigs I am reeling and setting for the fence. In the back of my mind pulling the weight through the lips to get hook penetration is something I struggled with early on. The fact that I am transitioning from mostly braid to FC is also is playing a role. Rod position is key for me and if I take a cast "off", I can easily be out of position

What’s wrong with me! No motivation to go fishing?
Your mind has a funny way of playing you and your not alone. Exercise....even walking, can turn things around. Climbing stairs can give you a sense of accomplishment. You need small wins Changing daily habits is another thing that help. Start small...wake up earlier, make your bed, have something different for breakfast, wear you watch on your other hand. Go out of your way to compliment others Chalenger yourself....pick a short window to fish, bring a bait you are not proficient with and fish it for 2 hrs.... .....this isn't about fishing...

Has anyone found they are happy with non high end rods and reels
For me it is about Fit, Quality and performance. I will pay more for a light, ergonomic rod and reel that allows me to Stay on the water longer and with less pain. On a similar note, if they will last longer than me and be able to be passed to my grandkids, all the better. I have a couple calcutta conquest that serve this purpose. I have also found that if you plan on owning few rods, better rods are in order. I have a friend that owners 2 GLX 's, 1 is a JWR and the other a MBR. These cover everything he throws. Others have 20 rods, technic specific......who spent more ?
