  1. Nothing surprising with Josh Jones. The guy puts huge fish in the boat consistently.
  2. Great video, thanks for sharing.
  3. No talk of the Saints demolishing teams averaging 45 per game ???? Oh wait !!! They played the Panthers and Cowboys.....my bad 😁
  4. Every year is different. 2 years ago the WP 90 accounted for most top water fish. Last year the Devil's Horse. This year a top water jerkbait. Would be nice if bass were predictable 😄 I mainly throw top water early and late.
  5. My observation is more about water temps vs seasons. Water temps climb above 50* " usually early April " , we start hooking good fish. Water temps in the 60's is quality fish and numerous fish. Water temps that are rising into the 70's is surprisingly better than water temps that are rapidly falling into the 70's. 80* + is slow here. Our summer here in the mountains of Western VA ended abruptly about 2 weeks ago with lows in the upper 40's and highs upper 60's lower 70's..... crazy. Surface temps are already low 70's so looking forward to October fishing. Stay safe.
  6. Tua got his guaranteed money so I'll say he's done. Also heard a report that he had a few concussions before the NFL.
  7. We have this one particular lake " electric only " that produced many 8lb + bass. Word got out and the lake started getting pounded. It's only 117 acres and easily accessible so 20+ boats per day was common and with many night fisherman. This all started 20 years ago and now the lake is referred to as 1 fish Frederick. The lake your referring to sounds very unpressured, enjoy.
  8. If I didn't throw a wacky rig or drop-shot, eliminate 75% of the fish I've caught the last 3 years. My power fishing partner no longer sends me a Christmas card 😂, he despises it.
  9. I've heard some members claim that September can be slow fishing. It was today, only caught 3 in 4 hours of fishing. My partner caught this blue cat on a spinnerbait.
  10. Mason is actually looking like McCaffrey......shanahan a genius.
  11. X. Worthy 😳 That kid is fast. If Baltimore can fix the O-line they'll be fine. Oh, 2 good games to start the year. Barkley is the leading vote getter for MVP. 😂
  12. I've used a 6'4 UL rod for Neds and dropshot for years without issue...... always pinned in the top of the mouth. 15# braid to 8# flouro leader. 5'4 rod seems short. Imo Less rod length = less available arc during the fight, keeping the hook pinned.
  13. Meteorologists have the easiest jobs, stress free. They consistently miss the forecast and get paid regardless. 😁 Due to the gin clear water that I fish, wind can be an issue. To put fish in the boat consistently it's mostly done with a finesse technique. Lighter weight is more negatively influenced by wind. A big arc in the line almost eliminates sensitivity. Another words...... give me glass water.
  14. Have many other than fishing. Backpacking Mtnbiking Air rifles Deer hunting Cutting firewood Mushroom hunting RV camping with the wife
  15. I picked the Ravens vs Niners last year for SB........ yes I forgot about Mahomes. But I'm picking Ravens Niners again, especially if Joe can work his magic in Burrowhead and eliminate Chiefs. My one prediction that I'm very confident about is.......Dak lays an egg in the playoffs.
  16. I only own one rod that is rated UL and is used for panfish/ Crappie, 4lb sunline sniper. Hooking the occasional bass is a blast.
  17. Yes, place the jack under the axle as close to the wheel as possible.
  18. If your in a boat nothing beats running a spinnerbait parallel to the thick grass line or a keitech swimbait. Imo
  19. A big thankyou @road warrior for your contributions. Enjoy your retirement.
  20. Yes. There's a small lake that I love fishing, only 110 acres. They do rowing classes there, like 50 of those 60 foot shells " think that's what they call them " and 8 people on board. This goes on for hours and a guy screaming instructions on a loud speaker non stop. I had to vacate the lake because of the commotion even though the fishing was very good that morning. I'm not crazy about a 60ft vessel that travels backwards blindedly.
  21. I'm checking trail cameras and shiver when I get on plane, like this time of year.
  22. Zoom UV speed craw in green pumpkin magic has been my best producer for several years.
  23. Dog lover to the core 👍
  24. Tried and true mainly but there is that rare occasion where a particular bait that I'd deem " tried and true " completely shuts down, dead, nothing. This forces me to try and replicate it's past production with something else.
