I must be getting old... Engine question
05 Mercury 2 stroke. If I have to pull it twice to start it it's because I forgot to squeeze the primer bulb. I can't imagine the hours I've put on in almost 18 years. I choose it due to hp limit on my boat and primary lake.

Fluke Set-Up
The two I fish Soft JBs and see no need to change. - Curado 70XG MGL 12 lb Red Label FC on a Zodias 7' MH Fast for 5" and larger. - Aldebaran MGL 50HG 10lb braid to 8 & 10lb FC leader on a Major Craft Nanoace 6'9" Med Fast for 4" Flukes & Jerkshadz, 3" Bass Assassin Shads

As you got deeper into this hobby did you begin to learn that there really are very small windows where the bite is great?
Yes. Never caught a Smallmouth but have fished for hours and caught 1 or 2 Spots or LM then the switch flips and catch 15 bass in 20 minutes.

Night Fishing (headlamps? casting gear?)
For LM at night I throw a 10 - 15.25" ribbon tails T - Rig, bulky Jig/trailer, Buzzbait quad blade with & without a clacker, big crawler, and a T - Rigged Kinky Beaver. I always use a tungsten Bullet weight with a clacker on my T - Rigs. For Spots it's a Shakey Head, Ned, or smaller jig as I've only ever caught them on the bottom at night after trying a plethora of top & mid column baits. It's not a bad idea to have a couple fried bologna sandwiches for a 2:30am break.?

First rod completed...

Torn between the simple, ol' days and today
This is my fishing 83 year old bud Craig, he approached me one day at the BPS with the look of a child that'd been lost in the woods for days. I spent some time talking/showing him baits/techniques. Two weeks later he had a boat and was raring to go. It's been over two years and the bait monkey has got a pretty good grip on him. He loves some Whopper Plopper and Jerkbait fishing.

Night Fishing (headlamps? casting gear?)
-Click my headlight on when I hook a fish through the release. - I've found lights have a negative impact on fish in the clear water I fish. Less so in muddy/stained waters. - Stopping the lure is all about timing for me. Fishing a New Moon with a black buzzbait/ big worm/jig with no lights, it's really the only option. - I use heavier gear at night.

At What Temperature Do You Stop Fishing?
Never stop. Transition to night fishing when it starts hitting 90(air) at 10am.

A 70 maybe. If you empty a 150 spool, I like to see the video.

Have you quit fishing before?
Paused from roughly 23 - 25 years old for 24 months and it about killed me, mentally, spiritually, and physically. I was working on my A & P license, working 40 hours on one job(Lowes)(weekdays), and 20 hours on another job(repairing crashed planes)(weekends). Between school, both jobs, and driving it was 100 hour weeks. I made up for missing so much fishing after getting my license and only had to work. I was at the lake 3 days one week and 4 the next for a while.
