.......I will also never forget the feeling in this country the day after. Hasn't been like that since ?

For me it is simple......I stay in the wind until I cant control the boat the way I want.

Been getting a lot of that lately, but at 20 MPH, I am gone. In that situation I am on the North shore if I can a semi protected area. If it is to windy and I am committed, I head to protected structure. As Temps drops as it has recently, I also find almost any back cove will do

Uni.....all day, every day?

My Mrs was reading this thread over my shoulder, and told me to book it for next year......I bet she bought something shinny ?

I have stopped using EWG for them and went to a round end offset and have better success

I saw this this Spring and again copied my friend. I am far more organized this year and having these bags have allowed me to really balance my boat.

Temps have dropped from 73 to 68 in just a few day and bait fish are being blown to the back coves....

After a few very slow weeks, all seams back to normal. Heavy winds have scattered the fish and today is the 3rd day with a constant and same direction wind. On a whim, I moved off the structure and hit the windward banks and pulled a dozen 2 1/2- 3.75 in an hour. Sadly back to work for 10:00

I love my Zell Rowland for these types of baits and run straight braid ?

.....did Mrs Bull put you up to posting that ???

Taking the Mrs to Nashville for a few days next month and am looking for input on places to go. Will be staying near downtown and while a little touresty things can be fun, I am interested in the lesser known places. Any input is appreciated Thanks,Al

Most mid 90's fishing and waterski fiberglass boat, glassed over fir stringers. This was a huge problem for them in the 2000's. Pass

To the OP'S question. I Like: Hitena, but expensive Then, Smackdown, Fins, Gamma......

Congrats......what a great feeling?

Small topwaters, all braid Large topwaters, defier Armilo

I too went from a lot of braid on BC to some Tatsu in ints place. I think training your thumb is the biggest issue. To get use to it, I turned on 1 more break and threw heavier baits to start. In a short time I went back to my original settings, but it helped the transition.

Before buying my lund impact, I did a lot of research including the boats you mentioned......I would grab the lund if the $$$$ works

Everything in the world kills. Heck, a tall tree kills smaller trees by depriving them from light. It all comes down to intent. Kids that grow up on farms get this at a very early age and have a great understanding on the balance. If this continues to bother you, crushing the barb will help in prove the odds of a safe release. Experience will do the same

A wacky or Trig on a spinning rod is where I start with never-evers. If you find the top water is on, let them through a popper. Even if they don't catch the top water, it's exciting

For me. Jerks, topwaters, shallow CB, small swimmers, jigs

One of my favorite rods. Light swimmers, weightless senkos, fat IKA, I am a huge fan of all MBR'S Absolutely, I don't as I have some deticated rods for them, but easily could! IMHO, it is one of the versatile rod for light weight baits I keep a MET MGL on it

For wacky, 2 and hook ends up perpendicular For NECO, 1 hook point toward tail

I use 10 pound braid to FC leader for DS on a spinning set-up I use high-vis as I am a line watcher.
