I caught my PB smallmouth on a ned rig. I may never set it down again.

Never been pooped on by a bird. I've had just about every substance a fish can excrete all over me at one time or another. Daggum white bass almost ruin a pair of shoes for me every time I fish the spawn.

The stitches can take longer than a month to fully dissolve out.

I fish like this a lot lately. You can tell I'm getting frantic for a bite if I start tying on plugs. - ned rig - shaky head (which, really, is just a big ned rig) - neko rigged worms (see above, just a big ned rig) - unweighted t-rigged or wacky-rigged stick worms - unweighted t-rigged finesse worms or trick worms

Might've been, but I think owls just have RBF.

Ned rigs and weightless senkos, by far.

@dodgeguy v2 is so good. All my finesse rigs get spooled with it.

I don't think we have any pike here, but I caught this little guy yesterday on a stick worm piece on a mushroom head, after he harassed me repeatedly and tore up my worm.

You can get blacklight head lamps.

It's a hard life, being a critter.

@gimruis Neat! I think I see groundhogs more than anything else. Some otter if I'm in the right place, and, very rarely, a beaver, though we can see evidence of them all over. There was one memorable time that one of the cats cornered a chipmunk in the house. The dogs about lost their minds with worry over that.

Gotcha. I kept fighting with myself because of how big that sucker'd be if it was a mink, but I couldn't think of a word for anything that shape and that size.

What is that? A mink?

I'll fish shade lines any time the shade's apparent. There are always shallow fish.

Sup.

You better hope so. You've already paid for them.

Babies are nice and all, but I really wanna hear about these.

You should watch @TnRiver46 crawl across his rig at the ramp. It's like watching a spider monkey. Every time I fish with him I expect to hear David Attenborough narrate.

Semi-rural TN, here. We were a forced to be a bit more civilized, but that only worked as long as somebody was watching us. I'd wear flip flops if I could, but they don't keep the AFO in place like I need.

I need season two of that series to be released already.

Yeah @Catt, I can't stand anything tight on my feet. If It was up to me, I'd just stay barefoot, but I've got to wear an AFO to counteract my floppy foot.

I wear a 13 EEEE, so I've always got skis on whether I'm in the boat or not. For real, though: If it's cold, I wear boots and double up on socks because I'm a huge baby. If it's not cold, I'll just wear sneakers, or Merrell Hydro Mocs (which are like Crocs, but better, because they have a tiny bit more arch support and are always in sport mode). My favorite mocs are matchy-matchy with my favorite jighead color.

@GReb my last couple orders have shipped out of GA, as I recall.

Yessir. Ours are great, even if they have zero respect for personal space. As soon as SWMBO's butt hits the couch, she's covered in dogs. The dogs, I suspect, would describe this as a "feature", instead of a "bug".

"I know that's your sandwich, dad, but – hear me out, okay – what if it was OUR sandwich?"
