AJ, having just plowed through this fantastic tutorial, I have to say you are an amazing teacher! And your writing style reminds me of some of the greats of all time. I’m not sure what you did in the coast guard,(maybe ran the whole service?) but you missed your calling as a college professor teaching hundreds of eager students…soaking it all up. You, sir, are the modern day Buck Perry of smallie fishing! And I meant that with all sincerity. It’s time for me to start again on page one of this thread and see all the tips I missed the first time through. Thanks again for all the time and knowledge you have passed along!
