Not fishing but kinda sorta. While at Home Depot last Saturday, noticed that they had 46” wide 9 drawer tool cabinets on sale for $298.99 ($100.00 off). She asked if I wanted one for Christmas as my 30 year old Craftsman is on its last leg. So I bought one. May buy another one, I’ve got so many tools from my racing days.

I do that too, all seven footers.

Welcome to BR! Hope that everything is going well with your treatments. I’m down in south east Arkansas myself.

I used to play the gear ratio or speed game, decided to take the advice of Henry David Thoreau and “simplify, simplify, simplify”. Use 7.1:1 for everything. If I need to fish slower, don’t reel as fast. Need to fish faster, reel faster.

Short of delaying the launch time, or postponing the next day, both due to weather, nothing new or of any importance should be announced or changed the day before. That trail would never se me or my money again.

I hope to learn to not ever buy a house that is in need of serious repair! My project is nearing its finish and we’ll be moving in January, but it’s been one heck of a ride. My boat hasn’t been moved since last November and this is the first year that I haven’t purchased a fishing license since the early 80’s.

I used to fish bass tournaments, got to where I didn’t enjoy it. I fish for bass because I enjoy it.

Neat story, thanks!

Like Tennessee Boy, I started with a 202 and later graduated to 33’s followed by baitcasters. I think they are awesome reels for the money. My wife rarely goes fishing, when she does she has a new 33 on a BPS Carbonlite m/l casting rod and a 33 underspin on a Carbonlite u/l spinning rod. They suite her perfectly.

Sounds like a great move for B.A.S.S. to me. I hope that they can make it work. The mlf couldn’t make no entry fees work, but they can’t seem to make anything work over there. I hope that General Tire is pulling out. #FishingBoatDocks

I’ve used the 4” G tail ring worms before, usually in green pumpkin or June bug. Use them on a 1/0 hook, 1/16 or 1/8 oz bullet weight and 6 pound line. Can’t say that I caught any huge fish, but plenty of two pound and smaller.

Welcome to BR from beautiful southeast, doggone in Louisiana but not,Arkansas!

What a crazy day in college football.

Looks like a another good schedule to me.

RIP Kris, thanks for the music.

I've always enjoyed fishing alone, actually preferred it. Now that I'm older (65) and have balance issues due to a couple of concussions, I've come to realize that having someone onboard isn't the end of the world...... .....as long as they don't talk constantly!

I try to use Duck Duck Go all the time. Sometimes I still use Google, but I try not to.

Be up front with your boater about your fishing experience, what you're good at and what you're not. Let him, or her, know up front that you're not used to fishing from a boat. Like in everything else, a little communication goes a long way. I doubt that the boater is going to change his plans due to your experience or lack there of, but he might be able to help you out Whatever you do, offer the boater gas money.

I must be hard hearted, killing a fish is the last thing in this world that I fret over or feel some kinda way about, it's going to happen. I take all the precautions that I possibly can, but in the big picture it's a fish.

🇺🇸 Never forget, never forgive! 🇺🇸

I took the original jabs and one booster. Missed a booster or two, probably going to take the next one as I am getting older (65 in a few days). I will say this, when I got covid last October, it was pretty mild. Was that due to the vaccine, I don't know? For me, we still live in the United States of America. Take it or don't, I don't judge. As always, to each his own.

I agree with @king fisher, leave it to mlf to make a confusing situation even more confusing. #FishingBoatDocks

Answered prayer!

I use my power pole a lot. That said, I don't have spot lock and I rarely fish deeper than around 10', 15' at the deepest. You are 100% correct!

Other than fishing, I enjoy building model cars and reading. This year all three have taken a distant backseat to a major remodel of a house that my wife and I purchased out in the country. The floors (joists and all) had to be replaced in over half of the house. Hopefully we'll be in by the end of this month, maybe the middle of next month.
