I think a lot of it has to do with individuals getting behind a keyboard and router and having a profound thought. Thirty tree percent agree with it. Thirty three percent don't understand it. Thirty three percent will argue it. 1 percent missed the conversation while fishin'.

I always loved this track...4 minute intro...

You forgot Woods, Normandy, Wheeler, Wilson, Pickwick...and a little further out: Percy Priest, Old Hickory, Cheatum, Cordell Hull, Barkley and Kentucky Lake. These are all just in the middle part of Tennessee ( and on N. Alabama line).

Definitely a good skill to have.

(If you have the same reel) You could use an extra spool...and you never know when you will need parts. Typically, parts don't go bad...but I have seen some rubber gaskets turned into goo...

I think you own to something here....we can just call it "fishing practice". Tonight: Knot tying.

I like to use a little shorter rod (6' 10") so I can get the tip low and swing it up for the pitch. Sure you can do this with a longer rod....but I think the shorter rod works better in close quarters. I also dont flip with braid...this in itself is another discussion.

Funny how the river just takes you where you need to be...usually!?

I had one...we gave him a nickname of Saadam ?. I had to leave early one day to pick up my daughter and he got mad and demanded I tell him why I had to leave.

Its not so much your limitations in this case. Its never a good idea to strip and rework a brand new rod. Stripping a rod is like 2.5X the work of just a new build. So...just keep it for now. It might make a good Christmas present. Put a tip on the old rod (it might make a good Christmas present ;). Now...you still need a rod. Build it from scratch.

Was atempting a stitch of several photos with limited tools...but, to my suprise, there is a hawk in the middle of the third frame.

Hate to hear it...I have really started covering up pretty heavy these days.

All I can do about that....is this...

From the article: “...in the future, I think we’re going to be looking in different avenues as far as using magnets, as far as metal detectors, as well as possibly cleaning the harvested fish as well to ensure our anglers that we’re having a clean and fair tournament,” West added. Uh....lead is not magnetic.

I agree....for that matter...I've never had a guide pull out with just a regular wrap (no blocking or locking).

I may be mis-reading this. But for me a locking wrap would also be a blocking wrap. Like this @ 2:30

Yep....

Yup...good advice. There are days I will go out and just use a technique that need improving.

In my part of the woods it comes from coal. The Cumberland Fossil Plant has output of 2,500 megawatts...thats 16 billion kilowatt-hours a year. Cumberland Fossil Plant (tva.com)
