Five hours south, and your almost into prespawn/spawn.

It could be 75 F or a blizzard. April is a month I plan trips down south, not the northeast.

That thing took you on a Nantucket sleigh ride I bet!

You'd like the Rig'n Hook too. The point is way offset from the line tie. It's more like a typical offset hook.

There wasn't anything in any email originating from them. Criminals can only read insecure email, not actually insert malicious links or code into them. They can also try to mimic legitimate email messages, just like all the fraudulent "Azure account info has been updated" emails I have getting the past few weeks. Your friend either received a random email from a bad actor or was on a contact list of someone that clicked a link in an email from a bad actor.

I think it helps that I'm only 5-7 and around 160 lbs. I also skateboard regularly, so maybe I have a different sense of balance. I don't consider myself very coordinated - actually a bit clumsy.

Wash them? What do you mean? Why? That slime all over my gear was hard earned!

I noticed some issues with penetration with some EWG style hooks. I really think the geometry in the relationship between the point and the line tie, and the angle of the hook point during the pull plays a big part. An offset worm hook or a hook like the one @Catt posted puts that point in a high success hook up location. Some EWG hooks do not. Others however, do. Owner Rig'n Hooks and Wide Gap Plus are two I have great success with. As always, you gotta have balance in your system between line break strength, hook size and diameter, power of the rod, and hook set style. I'm going to assume were sticking to black bass species here, but the type of game can also have a factor as well. All that rambling aside, I agree: hooks are better now. There's so many choices though, it can be confusing for the beginner. That's what this site is here for.

I might need that hand to balance though, lol. Maybe I'll try it in the pool when it warms up again. I've done this, or just reach down and give a couple pushes. I do this too, but from the stern. It helps having the SeaMat surface so you don't slip. I prefer the stern because there is a skid plate there.

In no order: Spro Aruku and Jr. Shad (rocks or yo-yo) Lucky Craft LVR D10 for WoodCutter (weeds) Boo-Yah One Knocker (all purpose)

Hmmm...I never thought to try that in my Compass. I bet if my plant foot was in the middle I could do it.

That's too bad, it's an on screen cap of how to do a google search, lol. I wouldn't post crap - I'm on a work laptop as well.

I'm not sure I'd be able to appreciate the wisdom I've gained by making all the mistakes. All the mistakes, lol. I wouldn't trade it for anything, but wouldn't wish it on anyone either.

Fraudulent activity spikes this time of year, since many are making lots of purchases, creating opportunity both in scraping card info and sneaking smaller charges by in hopes no one notices. Regardless, this isn't unique to TW, but it is a good reminder to review your accounts and implement safeguards.

I shouldda mentioned him! He's a hoot to fish with. It's been a while, but we've met up a ton of times to chase green, brown, and silver fishies. Took him to my home lake (Port Bay) and he smoked them. The guy is a good stick.

This guy is just sleeping too.

I don't think he used a system other than putting little Planos in bigger tubs.

....you can't trust a fart

Happy Birthday man!

A little dab on the wrists and behind the ears drives the ladies crazy!

I don't think you did anything wrong, but you should just be able to paste the links into the editor and it does the rest, so long as it's a valid URL accessible by anyone.

After a week or so of research and this is the boat I want. Thanks for turning me onto them. They weren't on my radar at all before you posted. I thought they only built bass boats.

Tatsu.

Yep
