Log Catcher

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I still prefer the old style tackle boxes. I have Plano 9606 and an 8606 I got from @MN Fisher. I do use both of them depending on where I'm fishing determines which one I take. I don't want a tackle bag. One thing I really like is the fact I have pulled my boat home in a monsoon and nothing in the tackle box got wet.

This is also free fishing weekend here in Kentucky. Weather here is supposed to be perfect for fishing. Since I don't fight the weekend crowd anymore so I won't be on the water.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I have never done any good fishing in the rain. I have been caught in so many bad storms while on the water I won't even consider going fishing in the rain.

Praying for all of you to be comforted.

I don't fish on weekends now. I certainly won't fish on any holiday weekend.

I'm not trying to hijack this thread but I need to ask a stupid question. What is the purpose of using a regular vest when the big motor is running and switching to an inflatable for fishing? What am I missing?

Be happy they want to keep you around. Years ago a couple both worked in different departments where I worked so we all knew each other. The first time I fished with him we took my boat. His wife told me as we were leaving he was worth more dead than alive if I didn't bring him back. She didn't offer to split the insurance money with me so I brought him back. Just remember you have to behave more now than your used to.

Prayers sent. Hope she makes a full recovery.

Some people need to have their business minded for them. I had a neighbor that had a leg amputated from diabetes. He could get out and mow his front yard but would not mow the back. Another neighbor and I offered to help him and mow and weed eat for him. He wouldn't let us. After we started having a lot of snakes show up and some one spotted rats we called in on him. He got his son to come mow for him. About a year later we called in on him again. He finally bought a riding mower to keep it mowed.

Praying that everything gets better for all of you. The girls are very lucky to have you to help them.

It will make a difference for me. The lakes I like to fish the most are around 115 miles round trip. I will be fishing places closer to home most of the time. I have a 17' Bass Tracker with a 40 HP Mercury. It is very easy on gas so I will be okay. Gas is $4.29 here right now.

RIP Ray Scott. Praying for the family.

I also wear blue jeans and closed shoes all the time. I want all the protection I can get. Too many people would rather worry about comfort when safety is a lot more important.

I've been buying fishing tackle since the 1960s. I don't even want to think about how much I have spent.
