MN Fisher

Last time I was at my normal shore spot - a couple pelicans paid us a visit.

Same here - I actually gave mine away.

@Bluebasser86 - worst part about that, Clayton...I can see you doing that with a completely straight face.

I'm sure with Lynn home, even having to take trips for her treatments, it'll reduce your stress level. Give her a hug from us...and take one yourself.

This is about 15 years of loss...I'm not to @Catt's 'level' yet...but working on it. Wife says my ponytail just pulled everything back.... 🙃

All fish above a certain size get netted, and it's a judgement call as they get close. I've certainly netted fish below that threshold, but I've never line-landed any above.

Here-here - I've caught bass, walleye and pike on full size; crappie, bluegill and perch on Flashback Minis..seems everything likes a chatterbait

I remember those....I'm this old

I''m still waiting to catch a bass on a T-Rig...I think they're laughing at me when I try.

Even Elon doesn't have enough money to buy enough pairs to fill that hole.

Still stuck shore fishing, but finally broke the bass-drought. Ya - it's only a pair of 13oz fish...but it's BASS. Missile Baits Warlock shakey head in 1/8oz GP with Zoom Finesse Worm in GP-Magic. Think I found my new shakey head jig - these stand up much better than the Owner Ultrahead I had been using.

Russ, don't forget the White Lightning.

On a spinning reel, when it hits the water, I'll do a tip sweep from level to overhead with the bail open to let out enough line for the lure to fall straight down...then close the bail. Baitcaster, I'll manually haul out a length of line before engaging the reel.

And hoping for many more to come, Tom - enjoy the day.

3/4" Length of Silicon Tubing installed with a 'Nasal Speculum'.

And this from NPR Ingrid Andress, whose national anthem went viral, says she was drunk - The country star says she intends to check herself in to rehab.

I can do without an AR switch - but I want my Tension 'crutch', without it I hobble along.

First they remove the AR switch from spinning reels, then they make the Tension Adjuster not function...what are they going to do to screw us over next?

If you can't adjust the tension, return it cause it's broke. The 'Zero Adjust' is their way of saying 'We set it to what we like it to be'...doesn't mean you can't reset it to something else that suits your style better.

Stock up time - Omnia has a buy 2 get 1 free on ALL soft baits. No code, discount applied in cart - excludes Megabass.

Or some of those steel mesh fishing gloves.....or LOTS of Band-Aids.

Daiwa Aird-X - performs well above it's price point of $55

I think he is - custom rods as well. @Delaware Valley Tackle - Mike, got an definite answer for the gentleman?

Or my classic Pulsar 652-5160...was my dad's, got as part of my inheritance.

While I mainly prefer a simple broil of fish, one of my all time favorites is Cajun Blackened Salmon - as @Catt says, the spices are not overpowering, but really bring out the flavor.
