  1. Though I use a lot of sizes, the 1/0 is my favorite on a 1/16 or 3/32 head.
  2. I don’t have pics but my neighbor across the street stores his on the ceiling in his garage.
  3. I’ve been experimenting with grilling salmon and cod on cedar planks. I have been pretty happy with the results. I’ve also done some ahi tuna which has turned out great. I use propane. I’m too impatient for charcoal. I don’t want to wait for a fire to get going or have to deal with live coals after the food is done.
  4. Probably since I have recurring vertigo.
  5. 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500.
  6. I worked with the public for 30 years. When a bean counter decided money could be saved if they bought a bunch of us out, I jumped on the first bus out of town. I volunteer at least 2 to 3 times per week, I volunteer to let someone use the back seat in my boat if they can function by themselves. Call me a grumpy old man if you choose because I am sure that is how most see me.
  7. I don’t buy often because I buy in bulk. Last month I restocked my Zman ZinkerZs. I bought 5 dozen packs. I just ran out of 12# fluorocarbon and bought a 1000 yd spool. I can’t think of anything else that I am going to need.
  8. I always have at least one tied on. Where I fish early morning up to 9 ish is spinnerbait time. After that it is basically exercising. I generally use only 3 colors which I change depending on conditions. I have one for clear water and sunny, one for cloudy days and another for stained water.
  9. Yes it is. Harbor Freight special.
  10. Sometimes I use a parasite type clip that I make and sometimes I use a homemade keeper on the hook.
  11. I’ve carried an Eze lap for years. https://www.sportsmans.com/hunting-gear-supplies/knives-tools/knife-sharpeners/eze-lap-diamond-pen-sharpener-w-groove/p/700001?channel=shopping&gclid=CjwKCAjwi8iXBhBeEiwAKbUofabo9Lyk3ngRlO31Jy09ZTwOs7EOsqqR1pUOqKVFbGlieZWYDt3L0xoCNEcQAvD_BwE
  12. It makes a difference when fishing clear water with slow baits like Shaky. That is why I have gone to fluorocarbon line.
  13. Absolutely. I rarely tie anything else.
  14. I have all of my drags set light. I want them to slip a little on the hook set so I don’t break any line or rip a fish’s mouth. I use light line most of the time.
  15. If you put a screen protector on them you can clean them with anything. https://www.russellmarineproducts.com/russell-marine-products/screen-protector
  16. I went through my stuff last winter and donated a bunch to a local high school fishing team. I still have a couple of lifetime supplies not counting the 5 dozen pacs of ZinkerZs that I got last week.
  17. God made mechanics so I wouldn’t have to do that kind of thing. I don’t even raise the hood on my truck though I am sure there is a motor in there somewhere.
  18. I don’t usually have any. I take 32 oz of ice water in a Yeti cup. I don’t eat while on the water.
  19. I worm fish most every trip. I’ve used rods of all lengths and ratings along with various speed reels. I’ve settled on 7 1/2’ rods with 8 speed reels and 12# fluorocarbon line.
  20. I find spinning setups superior to bait casters when vertical fishing with the exception of a jigging spoon. It just takes too long to get a bait down 30-60’ on a bait caster.
  21. Trolling motors are the number one cause of electronics interference.
  22. A corner food plot wouldn’t hurt anything.
  23. It looks like interference. How is it powered?
