Favorite cheap hooks
My go to hooks are VMC, if that's not in stock then I'll usually go with some Eagle Claws.

Fishing before sunrise
If I make it to the pond before sunrise, its a top water kind of start.

Does jighead color matter for smallmouth, as in do you try to match the soft plastic or is unpainted/silver just as effective?
I've only ever used black jig heads, head shape may change but not color. Doesn't usually matter which trailer I'm using.

Holiday Week-End Antics
I went out to the lake with the intention of some fun people watching, but everyone was civilized. Quite the sight. Brightside, no one was fishing. So, I was able to hit the bank for a quick minute.

Heatwave!!!
Last night was the hottest I've ever been in the PNW. Inside my studio apartment, the temp was 93. I ended up going downstairs and turning my car on for some reprieve before heading into the oven around 2am.

Fishing Alone
I bank fish and 9 times out of 10, I'm by myself, beating the bank and loving the solitude. There's the off chance the wife will wake up with me and go out, and when she does I enjoy those times more than anything.

Meanmouth??

Finding a secret spot. Do you have one?
I've got what I consider a "secret spot" but I'm sure people know about it. They're just never there while I'm out.

Cottonwood seeds
Last trip, I spent more time picking the cottonwood out of my line than actual fishing. If the cotton is too much, I just stay home. Or, a different lake.

If you had a time machine that could let you fish anywhere on earth at any time in history, when/where would you go?
Back to the 90s when me, dad, and grandpa would fish together on a tiny dock.
