guys is commenting on eating other species, despite title of this thread ---- what about shad? and all the bones.... my uncle used to smoke shad, and even tho i ate that when i was very young --- wow..... i don't remember about the bones.... i've never even thought about eating a lmb. i'm there to catch 'em, not eat 'em.

I don't get Richard Gene.... He's interesting fishing-wise but, I don't enjoy his humor that much. I just watched a video by I think it was Bill dance?!! He said large mouths, yeah, they don't have eye lids, but they have black pigment in their eyes that can activate when there's sun....? He seemed like a scientific fisherman. And very clear and concise. I'm an old guy and I like the old guy fisherman. LOL But I do like Greg Blanchard, a young guy. he's a kayak fisherman in Northern California. His videos are really clear and entertaining he's got this bunch of bass fishing friends he hangs out with, and they drink pale ale before tournament days, goes over what kind of gear he out fits his kayak with etc. i watch so many of his vids with his buds that i resumed drinking pale ale again! it's sort of a classic. I'm not fishing much these days but I get in my fishing time on YouTube LOL

will give it a try............... also, i guess i'll check when they stock again...................

on april 14, they planted 1000# of trout in lake temescal..... today is the 28th. could those 1000# of trout be ------- uh, gone? in two weeks? the reason i wonder is because there were hardly any guys fishing, plus those guys fishing all looked very bored. i didn't see anyone with any fish. in any event, we tried various light spinner baits, and power bait. no action. but thanks guys, as always, for the timely advice. my niece and i had a pretty good time - got time to chat and talk, and got her working with a slip bobber and power bait. she tried the other rod with small spinners.

you impressed me ---- that's pretty good, being new to kayaks and finishing in the middle of the pack! 2 bad about losing that big fish... you'll get him next time

thanks so much. hopefully we will catch something!

taking my niece fishing. she'd like to catch a trout. they stocked a local lake with stockers - mid april? we're going tomorrow..... my questions - where do those trout hang out? i'm guessing they're just sort of out in deeper water. and are trout loners? so, you're not trying to find a group of 'em, we're going to use trout dough and small spinners. is it hard keeping the trout dough on hooks? sorry for the dumb questions.

i use a trx system. my physical therapist uses them, so i bought one for about $130 on amazon. normally i think they're $200. i've never owned anything like it, and was not that sold on it. but now i use it daily. it's very convenient, you just need some space to use it, as it uses body weight to increase resistance. i also use a bosu ball, some weights, etc. i have gotten pretty weak in the past several years, and this routine has really helped me build muscles and coordination. having a physical therapist helped because i have various chronic conditions. at 69, i feel a targeted daily routine is better for me because it targets things very specifically, and you're focused on proper technique, etc. i feel that it's a great learning technique on how to keep using your body into old age. and i watch my diet! plenty of fiber! my friend, who is only about 55, just gave up cigarettes. he'd been smoking since 15. it's never too l8 - just try to find what you can live with.

two games into the jimmy butler era ---- two wins.... will it last? maybe. butler and curry seem like they could fit. also, the warriors maybe have their new center in this 7' 24 yo dutch guy, who sprung up out of nowhere???? quenten post... they sort of have a team that now could make a run.

thanks so much for the thought..... i'm old fashioned (no pun intended) and tend to drink uh... standard??? bourbons. i guess i like that bourbon is an american drink.... but lagavulin is hella... it's the only scotch i drink. heck yeah, dude!!!

for me, they're like my kids. you just can't choose one or the other!!!! thanks guys......... i'm too lazy and all to do all the research. but in defense, look, there was this hot lady from yellowstone holding this beautiful bottle on her denim thigh. call me dumb.............! but thanks to your comments @Junger and @TnRiver46............ i'll pass on ammunition bourbon. never had moonshine, being from california.....

how much input did lebron have in this? and ----------- AD is always getting injured. that's just him. he can't help you if he's sittin' on the bench in street clothes. lebron will probably have a great influence on luka. this has gotta be a lakers win. as for now the lakers lacking a true big --- look at the warriors. they were able to recycle big men. i forget how many titles they won with that. four?

is it any good --- i mean, is it really good??? i don't watch yellowstone, but online there's a photo of the attractive actress kelly reilly leaning back with this prominent bottle of whiskey -- ammunition bourbon -- resting on her thigh. that bourbon is apparently aged in red wine casks. a pairing that sounds uh, very odd. does it reek? i generally drink knob creek 120 proof, or japanese whiskies, or lagavulin 16 yo....

nothing better than a small body of water that is fishable from the bank. simple, efficient, peaceful. i feel like with a boat you are more locked in to fishing for a longer period, because of the extra baggage a boat entails in expense, time, packing.... that being said - most places i guess a boat allows you to fish a lot more spots......especially on large bodies of water. and it's fun when people stop and ask "caught anything?" i don't think they do that when you're in a boat.

You sound fairly irritated with option 1. Definitely a vote for Dad. And in the near future, Can't you try to replace option 1 ? He just seems to honk you off.
