We do too!

@Catt I was down Monroe, LA earlier today, helps on the way. I lost count of the power company truck either staging or heading south. Good luck every body, still praying for you.

Praying for all you Louisiana folks.?

Zummo's ain't bad at all for store bought. There's a sports themed chain of restaurants called "Walk Ons" that have an appetizer called boudin balls. There pretty good, but @Catt is right, the real stuff is south of I-10! Back to the storm, just got a weather update, Ida has shifted west. I live in southern Arkansas, 9 miles from the LA border. We're looking at a crap ton of rain and 45 to 55 mph winds. That's bad enough, you guys down in LA be careful!

Sir, I stand in awe! Well done, well done indeed.

It's going to be a 9" Garmin Striker up front, no live scope. A few of the rivers down here are considerably deeper than what we were used to on the Houston, French Broad and definitely deeper than the upper Clinch! It is for the power cable. I'll look for it online, according to Ancor's website there's no where near me that sells it. Thank you

I'll soon be rewiring my boat. As I'm primarily a river rat, my plan is to move the t/m battery forward, ditch the old MotorGuide and replace it with a new Minn Kota. I'm also going to add a new Garmin up front. From my reading, I may need to shield the wiring for the Garmin. What exactly does that mean? What do I need to purchase? Thank you for any help.

The vast majority of my rods are either BPS Platinum and Patriots. I'm at the three, three and a half year mark with no problem with the winn grips or anything else.

RIP Lonnie

If someone identified themselves as fishing in a tournament and asked nicely to fish my spot or let them have a stretch of bank, I would probably yield to them. On the other hand, if they demanded or had some attitude, they'd be out of luck. I've mentioned on here before that while trout fishing (wading) a guy asked politely to move around me. I told him to have at it and wished him well.

From on Tennessean (currently in exile in AR) to another, welcome!!!

Like @Smells like fish, I've ordered from Lurenet twice, but it's been about two years. Both times went very well.

Okay, thank you!

I don't know about "precision", but I'm pretty good. I can put the bait where I want it quietly with minimum backlashes. My weakness is light bait's (1/4 oz and lighter) and skipping using a baitcaster.

I meant to ask you when you posted your trailer video, do you have a YouTube channel? If so, what do you call it? Good luck selling your rig.

Congratulations MN Fisher! You getting rid of the hot rod canoe?

I picked my Black Rifle up at a BPS store. It's really good stuff to me, but I'm an Army vet and retired Law Enforcement so I like my coffee with hair on it's chest!

I take my coffee black, just a mix of coffee and water. My favorite is Black Rifle dark roast. They call it something other than dark roast, but I can't remember. It's a little too much for my wife so I usually drink Folger's Black Silk.

Obviously you know your creek and the fish that you catch better than I do. I'm several states away. First, beautiful smallie you got there, nice scenery too! As a fellow creek/river smallie fan, that particular smallie doesn't look too big to me? Maybe it's the photo? Like other's have basically said, I'm not a purest and I just enjoy being out in creation, catching my favorite species of fish. Every day, every smallie is a blessing to me.

I still backlash from time to time. For me, it usually happens when I try to cast a lure that weighs less than a quarter ounce. I don't even try anymore. If it weighs less than 1/4 ounce, I break out the spinning gear. Knock on wood, I don't have too many issues with birds nest on spinning reels.

I agree with all of the above advice. If she'll chase a ball or play fetch, that's a great way to make her run. Almost every time I play fetch with my bassett hound, she stops and poops?. She's a pretty girl!

Happy Birthday AJ! Semper Paratus

It's not on B.A.S.S. at all. Let me say up front that I'm a huge John Cox fan. That said, this is completely on John to know the different schedules and/or rules. He's the one that stumbled. I used to race stock cars two to three nights a week. Two were NASCAR regional racing series tracks, one was not. After racing at the non-sanctioned on Friday night, I had to make changes to the car during the day Saturday, to race that night due to the different rules. Thankfully, if I raced on Sunday afternoon, it was another NASCAR track. I couldn't agree more!

Slightly off topic, please forgive me. Do you have to get a different battery charger for lithium? I have a Minn Kota 210D on my boat. I'm going to rewire everything and move my t/m battery forward in late fall/ winter. I'd love to make the jump to lithium.

I'm pretty much exclusive with Gamakatsu but the Bass Pro Hooks are pretty good too. When I worked at BPS after I retired VMC was making all of their bass hooks.
