The Road To The Super Bowl 2021
You bet they do. But the Chargers weren’t slouchy with that rookie QB. I bet Tie Rod has a tough time getting his job back.

Am I the only guy who doesn't replace hooks?
No you aren’t. If I think that their hooks aren’t good enough then why would I waste money on their baits.

Fall Is Coming!
Yes it is coming. I was out Friday evening and never saw a tuber or skier and only one jet ski. It will really be good when the hunters head for the woods instead of the lake.

Whats The Favored Caliber/Cartridge For Deer?
We have oak timber interspersed with red cedar. I hunt openings in crossings. We have used 308, .30-06, .30-30, .25-06, 280, 270, 243 and 257 Roberts. I prefer my 257 Roberts with a 100 grain hand load. My son-in-law has settled on 270 and my grandson uses his 308 because he has the capability of shots to 650 yards (SWAT sniper).

How Do You Evaluate Boats When Purchasing?
Couldn’t you swap the electronics from your boat to the one that has birds, and go for the bigger boat.

Fluke rigging...
I make mine and they float. I nose hook them with a wacky hook.

Trailer question
If you could get someone to go with you, you could have them take care of the truck and trailer. They could back in and you load experimenting with various trailer depths until you find the best one for loading. What could take you days or weeks by yourself might be done in a matter of minutes with a driver. Just be sure that you pick a slow time for launching and loading at the ramp so you won’t be in anyone’s way.

Tomato garden
I fry them in my Fry daddy as I am cooking fish. I like them but not as well as I like fried cucumbers.

What colors are your go-to's for plastics?
Green pumpkin/black flake Green pumpkin/red flake Watermelon/red flake Black Pumpkin seed

Tomato garden
I used to put them on a shelf in the garage. I could get tomatoes to ripen for weeks after frost. Put several layers of newspapers under them because some will go bad and leak.

Trailer question
That is exactly what I was thinking.

Are You Ready For Some Football?
I’m liking the Chief’s first half even if Mahomes isn’t throwing up to his usual standard.

The dreaded A-Rig
I use mostly silver willows but also have some with chartreuse, orange and red Colorado blades.

The dreaded A-Rig
I make mine so they vary. I don’t usually use them until December or later.

How do you keep records on your reloads?
I feel your pain. When I did the reloading I too kept a 3 ring binder. That way I could take it to the range and have all of the info with me and put shot grouping in it. My grandson grew up to be a swat sniper and has taken over all of the reloading so I gave him the book along with the dies and powder.

Traveling and sleeping for early morning fishing
I have slept several nights in the back of my truck in the launch area parking lots. Wake up take a leek and launch the boat.

Line Capacity
I think you are over thinking.

Transducer mount for Tracker Classic XL
I will leave the position to others. The one thing I will suggest is get a transducer mounting board and secure it to the boat above the water line. Then mount the transducer to it. That way you will be able to move the transducer without drilling holes in the boat below the water line. Lund used to send on with all of their new boats. It was a great idea.

Best shakey head worms?
Don’t forget Elaztech worms.

Go to spinning reel brand. best value
My go to is Shimano. I have them in 3 sizes and 3 or 4 models. I don’t know how many I have but I normally keep 10 in the boat.

GPS Trolling Motor vs Power Poles
It depends on how you fish. I had both. My power poles seldom got any use as the boat was too deep for them. They are now in a new home in Houston Texas. Now my spot lock on the other hand gets used many times on most trips. The spot lock jog is the best thing since Coors Lite.

Favorite Fall Buzz Bait Tactics ?
Lately white has been superior to black. Method... chunk and wind as close to cover as possible.

Fall Fishing Season Is Upon Us
I wish it were so. The water is still warm and the will still be coming.

Right Rod for Spinnerbait.
There is only one way to know, go use it. What is good for one person isn’t necessarily the right setup for another one. I personally like my spinnerbait rods to be on the stiff side.
