Thanks. I've had quite a bit of practice in some pretty sport conditions. Night time & zero visibility in fog is fun too. A-Jay

I have a couple of the spinning rods that are decent What's the all purpose rod ? A-Jay Spin E - Ehrler Spin B - Feider

It got our attention for sure ~ https://youtu.be/jYDqRk6ghyE?feature=shared A-Jay

Nice Rig ~ Over kill is simply a decent way of being Prepared. 😎 A-Jay

Black Rifle is most decent IMO. I really like the packaging ~ and the military discount #25% A-Jay

I don't drink anywhere near the Joe I used to. Retirement does that. But when I do, it's usually for effect and happens late afternoon. Also has to be a dark roast. I go over pour, so 1 cup at a time. I switch back & forth between these two. https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ A-Jay

After an extra off day, spent blasting another foot of snow away, I was back in the home gym for Workout Day 3. Despite the late afternoon time frame, I still felt pretty decent during this one. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Yup. I will often build them on wire when fishing toothy critter in fested waters. A-Jay

Tighten your spool tension so there is no playback & forth with spool in the reel frame. When the spool is 'floating' around in a casting reel to make reeling easier, it rarely gets an even, tight & proper line lay. A-Jay

Doesn't have a name really - My wife calls it the A-Jay rig. A-Jay

Essentially this is a "light weight" punch rig. I fish it like a Texas Rig- just has a skirt included. Been fishing it effectively for a long time. I made this video 12 years ago. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/BOSS_Punch_Hub_5pk/descpage-BOSSPCH.html https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/search-tackle.html?start=0&count=20&searchtext=parasite+clip A-Jay

I am glad I was able to upgrade my Helix units when I did. Just basic units no mega or live and I am still using the original 360. Been happy with their performance so far. Still, i wouldn't want to be messing with that deal now as the Proprosed Prices of these newest units seem disproportionately high. A-Jay

This is true. But I never said I did. Just wait until the big casting reel sell off this spring. #epic A-Jay

Neither or both ~ I like to catch long fat bass. A-Jay

What are you smoking ? I guess you don't remember how many 7's 8's 9's 10's 11' and 12 lb bass we've caught there . . . So you're kidding right ? We even got 6 over 10 lb in one trip ! https://youtu.be/UYTzJHDCdMo?feature=shared A-Jay

Depends if your trousers are intact or if you're using FFS or not ~ I'm the funniest guy I know. A-Jay

I had a swing & a miss myself. Sadly I'm still paying that one. A-Jay

Yea, sorry about that. Wasn't trying to derail the thread, but it's the first thing that came to mind. I'm just your basic knucklehead. So that's a big win for me. Especially since I don't really get many. But this one time, I parked my truck in the garage, and didn't even crash it. 🤓 A-Jay

Smartest move I will ever make. And the luckiest. #manofgenius A-Jay

Always ~ It's a profile deal for me. A-Jay

Oh yes it is ! That train left the station while Eddie Murphy was playing Gumby on SNL. A-Jay

It's a Castle Craft trailer I purchased at the same time I ordered the canoe in 2009. Model SUT 220-S price has doubled since I got this one. Decent unit. A-Jay http://www.castlecraft.com/canoe_trailer.htm

I got that as well. But what's a "Retired Rod" ? I'm retired and ain't no one buying me . . . . A-Jay

I am a fan of St Croix rods. I own and enjoy fishing several different lines of their sticks. However, my experience with the (now discontinued) Tidemaster Inshore Travel casting Rods a few years back on Lake Baccarac was less than positive. I think the final count was 6, at least one of which was not even mine. All blew up on a seemingly harmless hookset. Boom. St Croix took care of them all and I traded them in for sticks I could use state side. A-Jay

Workout Day 2 today. I went into this one feeling uncharacteristically flat. I hate it but I didn't let it keep me from putting in the work. #borninfiftynine A-Jay
