That didn't even occur to me. I have a fantastic mom and pop store an hour away (pop has passed). She will have a wall of squarebills. Thank you.

Thank you, I will look at both of those.

I like it. It's an 1/8oz lighter thank an Arashi 5, but dives just as deep. I like the green gizzard color. Do you change the hooks? I read a few complaints.

Today I hung up and broke off my last shad-colored Arashi squarebill. I have only two left, but not in shad. I was appalled, shocked, aghast, dejected, morose, despondent, lugubrious, and kinda bummed out when I discovered that the best squarebill in the history of bass fishing is no longer manufactured. What is the next best please?

It could be that it was intentional on her part, but I strongly suspect that she's not "playing games", rather she has so many unresolved issues (and lack of internal flashlight) that she really did thoroughly enjoy your time together but can't maintain a consistent emotional balance to have a mature relationship. Be wary, as she may be the type that wants to bounce back and forth in a toxic relationship (no offense to @TOXIC by using that word LOLOLOLOL!). @TOXIC gives good advice too. Work relationships are either 1 in a million perfect or permanently uncomfortable. When I'm disappointed, I go fishing. Or when I'm happy, sad, tired, melancholy, cheerful, ambitious, cold, energetic, hot (and not the good kind)...

I found a couple choices online. My post is awaiting approval because I put links in it. Just give it a few.

You mean on your trailer tongue, right? How about these? https://bakesonline.com/products/trailer-swing-tongue-pin?variant=40905828466768&srsltid=AfmBOoonhXK591r5E-n7j0K2Dw1A3rrdB1AHdZIb7Tk3iKFMusBcjp8r8Zs https://durasafelocks.com/products/swing-away-tongue-trailer-lock?variant=32042892624005&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&comet_source=google&comet_network=x&comet_campaign=20937390379&comet_ad_group=&comet_ad_id=&comet_keyword=&comet_type=smart&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20934054470&gbraid=0AAAAADpflvjqT7ppxhcfBLQHh-sgaUrJ9&gclid=CjwKCAjwyOzSBhBTEiwAmxvJ-ukvBeh7BdrulOQ1h2sJrwOBNs9CI8OqMYxiS7LFJf_ZQ4lfNt3kcBoCeb0QAvD_BwE

That's outstanding.

Wow. Is that late or early? LOL

The panel of experts that came up with either of these lists cleary have ZERO knowledge of @Swamp Girl 's pond.

My closest lake is electric only and I brutalize my batteries. I run them to 20% or below weekly. I have a 24V Ultrex that runs on two 4yr old Diehards and they still charge fully and last all day. I have an 9 year old Interstate that starts my 115 Merc and powers my Garmin 93SV on the console and Lowrance Eagle Eye 9 on the bow. They are charged with an on board Dual Pro Professional. I keep them properly wet and if the boat is not in the water, they are on the charger all year long.

I go through many, many bags of Yamamoto Fat Baby finesse craws. They do not last long, but they are so effective that I buy them in bulk. I fish several lakes with significant bluegill populations and the bluegill attack these baits and bite the claws off (very easily). I can tell you with absolute certainty, on the lakes I fish, a Fat Baby with a single claw catches as many bass as a Fat Baby with two claws, but I can only speak to my lakes and that particular claw bait. The wrong color for the day, however, will end all interest in it whether it has one or two claws.

I assumed that this morning would be terrible fishing based on the ever present 'heat dome', no wind, and a high lake pressure weekend. I was wrong. I headed out early just to play with the new Eagle Eye 9 and found a ton of wildlife. Multiple does with fawns, wild turkeys, and a chunky beaver that did not care that I was 15 feet away. We fished the same area for 10 minutes and then I got to watch him waddle down a slime-covered spillway that was flowing water like he was walking in the park. I lost count of the LM I caught. Also bycatches of yellow bass and saugeye, both on a crankbait. Very nice morning. I'm hoping to be posting in the "Who's drinking" thread later! LOL

Wow, those are some outstanding fish!

Yes, falling water can really slow down the bite. Best of luck to you and your weather.
