Bird

I found something to do for the next couple of weeks besides fishing. Do you guys know what that is ?

Braid ? Cheap guides? Yep.

The bad spawns or should I say non existent spawns were do to very high murky water 2 years in a row here where I live in VA.....according to DNR. MUCH improved this year.

Couple of weeks is our 35th anniversary......we're getting OLD. Congrats.

Ethanol free for any engine that sits for extended periods. Additives aren't necessary.

You've likely got a bad guide.

I appreciate your concern for the well being of the fish we pursue, really do but de-barbing all my inventory? Bass a pretty resilient I've found.

Remember those Patriots back then and they almost beat the undefeated Dolphins, 72 ??? Have a great deal of respect for greatness that was fortunate enough to witness many that Boston fans adored. From Bird, Yaz, big Papi, quite the list.

Boston fans have tasted their fair share of success over the years......to say the least. Lol I don't see Burrow having another huge game.....I'm picking Clemson by 3

Wow, can you do online counseling with my wife ? She's quite liberated. Just the other evening she ask me to take her someplace she's never been.....I politely escorted her to the kitchen. Oh yes, I have VA dogwoods blooming here and will be in hot pursuit.

As an optimist, NFL will be on schedule. Be fun to see what the PATS do without Brady and what the BUCS do with him.

As an avid sports fan I'm finding it hard to go without for this long. I follow many and NO march madness, NO spring training. Was really anticipating a LAKERS vs CLIPPERS best of 7. I understand the technicalities, just say'n.

All I get is high and tight......or pulled for a pinch hitter. ?

Remember it well even though I was 13 yrs old. It's what encouraged me to use nothing but quick fire Shimano spinning reels. Still have a few of the Syncopate spins.

This isn't that difficult to understand, actually learned in 1st grade. The Virus is like a fire which requires a fuel source, we being the fuel can eliminate the fire by voluntarily removing ourselves.

It's not a preferred method for what I'm doing this time of year but don't see myself abandoning the Ned for what it does when I do throw it.

Glad you could share that unfortunate experience. Perhaps you could drag the area your baitcaster fell in.....on a calm day. Fishing yesterday was extremely frustrating from a kayak as the high winds elimate the fun factor and about everything I had tied on. Lol Better days ahead.

I've been a pork trailer advocate for MANY years......bucktail is what we called our jigs back in the 70's for smallmouth. Still have some uncle Josh.

You can stand but wouldn't consider it " fairly easy " . They do however make a standup bar for it .

Very sad.

Yes, had a nightmare on the river about 20 yrs ago. It was a planned 2 day trip through some tremendous SM water, had our camping gear. A trip we've done many times. One bad spot where we go under a low water bridge in swift current had a large tree root laying sideways just on the other side of bridge. We ducked to go under bridge and before we could get paddles in the water we slam this huge root. Front of boat rides straight up the wall created by root and boat flips backwards on top of us. We lost many Shimano reels, phones , cameras and all tackle. We eventually caught up to some of our camping gear which was soaked and useless. My friend ripped his leg open and required stitches. I now own dry bags and tie-downs.

Backpacking above the dense fog at 4100 ft.

I've posted on several threads regarding wind and cringe everytime. Lol Have a high tolerance for whatever life throws my way and not much irritates me.....Except fishing in the wind. Can't really put a finger on it and may need professional help " wind anonymous " don't know but will prematurely abort if wind picks up every time.

Good action yesterday but nothing big. 5 on Jerkbait and this one on a Buzzard.
