Bonafide pwr - what is this thing for?
3 dots, bottom right corner...tap that and you have more editing options including resize. At least on my A-51 and the wife's S23....if your S24 doesn't have it, then for some reason they removed it.

I just like that the camera app on my Samsung has a built in editing function....including resizing.

What’s a good Mepps in-line spinner for bass fishing?
#3-#5 Comet - forget the bare or 'fluffy tail' Mepps - go for the minnow.

Working to Stay Lean ~
And I thought you were a nice guy too. (I had....shall we say....issues with both my DI's during Basic)

You actually did that on purpose?!?! I WANT MY HAIR BACK!!! Chemo sucks in that respect.

Would You Wear These?
GIM! HEEL!!! If someone likes it, the fashion police have no leg to stand on.

Could have been tragic! Check your PFD.
Confirmed - I wear mine all the time when in the boat...frequently forget I have it on when trailering and ready to go home.

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, 'old man'. (105 days until I catch up)

It's a crime against alcohol.

Onboard charger replacement recommendations ?
My NOCO Genius hasn't given me issues in 4 years.

Inflatable PFD Went Off By Itself
^ I would never disable the auto-inflate function. I've got an Onyx 24 A/M and it's yet to self-activate. I check the bobbin frequently and have replaced the kit once due to it getting old (color change on bobbin). I store it in the basement, away from the heat/humidity outside, and wear it all the time I'm in the boat...not that that's happened this year...not just when the main motor is running.

First Thoughts on Fluoro
And you don't want to have it cross itself - Palomar knot, you need to make sure the two bights in the loop don't cross each other...otherwise you weaken the knot significantly.

First Thoughts on Fluoro
It'll help by being less likely to be seen by the fish Fresh water has an index of refraction (IoR) of 1.33 - plus or minus depending on suspended particulates. Mono's IoR ranges from 1.52-1.63 Flouro's IoR is around 1.42 So being closer to water's IoR, Flouro is harder to see, which makes the lure stand out a bit more.

Budget spinning rod
If it's improved - had one several years ago, got rid of it as soon as I could.

Guiding?
Acquaintance of mine is a guide - I went on one trip with him this year (yes, I paid). Chatting - he told me it took about 5 years before he started breaking even...luckily his wife worked and was able to cover the normal bills and his 'losses' over that time. He's been doing it for 15 years now and has a 6 week waiting list. @FryDog62 is up here visiting and he went out with Matt a few days ago, so can confirm that Matt knows what he's doing.

Where are you buying tungsten weighted hooks?
It can be melted down but it requires a much higher temp (6000f vs 600f for lead) Old friend of mine was a part-time blacksmith and he forged a tungsten knife....when he was done he said 'never again'.

Fell out of the boat today.
Ya - your best bet is to get a bunch of Silca Gel packs and toss 1/2 a dozen or so in a plastic bag with the phone. But I'm willing to bet that the phone will need replacement. That's why my phone case is one rated to withstand a dunking...not an extended stay underwater, but a couple minutes or so.

Fishing with Spectacles
I'm in tri-focals and no way could I afford prescription sunglasses - Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid are all I've got. I do get my main glasses free - though I'm restricted in frame styles...so I went with these. MEETSUN Fit Over Glasses Sunglasses Fit over my glasses, with side shields, mirrored fronts and come in a variety of lens colors - I have green, gray and amber. They work well, and are fairly stylish.

RIP Catt
We'll always remember you, Tommy. 😢

Spool Play on 22 Bantam
I kept watching it in full screen, clicking back to the start multiple times. I don't see the spool moving forward and back within the frame - I see it slightly turning back and forth within the shaft guides (bearings or bearing/bushing) - which is totally normal....even my Tatulas and Patriarchs do that.
-
What to do with wet lures?
Yep-yep. I dedicate one compartment in my boxes to gel packs...4 packs in my 3700s, 3 packs in my 3600s...specialty boxes get the same number, just wander around loose in the box, I.E. my spinnerbait box.
