This spring got a Dobyns 704 sf spinning rod for my wacky rigs and yum dingers. I fish heavy cover and pads as summer comes along. So far this is the best rod I own. If dont have alot of weeds or pads i would go with the 703

Hearing Aids.....ughhhh
I have them and need them to watch tv the most. They are a pain in the ???? most of the time. Bad in wind because of noise blowing through them, if doing something where sweating alot forget it, or when wearing a hat afraid will whip hat off and lose one. In all though Im glad i have them most of the time. Like you have the scars of life so alittle inconvience i can live with

Senkos/Other Stik Baits?
Started out with senkos but started getting expensive so went to yum dingers and have not looked back. With senkos at 8.99 and dinkers at 2.99 its a no brainer. Went to day used dinger wacky rigged and only used 2. caught maybe 20 bass. my key is if use weight let them drop to bottom and the and work it back. just got new dobyns 704 and sensitivity with the dingers was fantastic

Fishing Etiquette
Myself like many here have seen the bad behavior of many. i was working a point one time catching small bass one after another> the next thing i know there are other boats on both sides of me. i left the spot without saying a word and went across the small lake and watched . they both moved going different directions so i went back and started catching again with a deep down chuckle.they could see that i was catching an were a little ticked i think. i have found that the key is to move before they know what you are useing and return. Less conflict is better. Hour later one was at the ramp and came up to me and asked what i was using and catching were they didnt catch anything. I pointed to one of my rods that i changed before going in and said that and they had a funny look on their face. It wasnt what i was using of course so got another chuckle out of it. tight lines guys and gals

Trolling motor?
have broken one ankle and bad knees so standing on one leg is not possible. I have a minnkota copilot with the remotes and it has been a game changer for me. My advantage is i purchased the mounts that attach to the rod itself so can move freely any where in my boat ,can land a fish and control the boat at the same time. mounts are discontinued and wish i could get more but have worked out a way to attach them without. Works great for me

Dumb things you have done while fishing
When my daughter was younger she wanted to go fishing with me one day, attention span was usually short so when went to load the boat after fishing i didnt get it into the water far enough(no dock) so she was on shore so i told her to back it in alittle. she had driven alittle so she said ok. I said put it in N foot on brake a back into water a little.She did great, said put in D and hit the gas, you guessed it she put it in reverse instead. the water was over the wheel well half up the box. Finnally got it out went and hugged her that everything was alright and had a good laugh. Another time with my son I started what is now a father son tradition. Catching was slow and he wasnt paying attention so i jerked the rod up like i had something then said just checking , he was so mad. Now i do this at least once every trip and we still get a laugh about it. its been probably 20 years. he catches me with it once in awhile too
