One of the biggest narcissists I know routinely uses "poor" or "bad" cell phone reception as an excuse for his actions (or lack thereof). BM could've waited until he had perfect reception to submit the entry. Problem solved. It's not rocket science. Bassmaster and MLF provide live coverage over massive lakes now - all use cell technology. Cell coverage is good enough these days that you're not far away from a solid signal.

Join Michael Neal as he breaks down how to use soft plastic jerkbaits and other top techniques to dominate cold-water fishing. From creek channels to bluff walls, this guide will show you where to find bass and how to catch them during the coldest months of the year.

Tangent airlines now departing.... Keep it on topic guys.

Oh it really did happen. We even went back to the spot with a metal detector when the water was down but couldn't find it. To be fair, the ring was loose to begin with. I now have a properly-sized replacement ring, but I still won't wear it while I'm fishing.

Cafe Du Monde gentlemen. https://shop.cafedumonde.com/product-category/coffee/ It's good, but not strong enough for me. I mix it in with my strong coffee. Google it to find where they sell it near you, or buy it on their website. French Market Chickory is also a good chickory coffee https://frenchmarketcoffee.com/our-coffee/ Again, Google it to find a retailer near you, or try their store locator on their website.

3 1/2 months later, and no improvement whatsoever. In fact, Geno is worse and so is the O-Line. Arguably the most pathetic in the NFL. The Seahawks have no hope of ever improving as long as Geno is on the roster. Plus they must completely overhaul everything that has anything to do with the O-Line. Throw everything out - cleanse house - and start new. Glass everything. It's the only way.

Bass fishing has no place for this kind of "influencer":

I've caught many a bass from a canoe. I fished many undisturbed lakes as a result. I also spent a week in the Yukon territory drifting a river in a canoe, living off the land by catching arctic greyling while dodging moose and grizzlies. Does that count?

Meanwhile, it's been a record-breaking warm season so far. It hit 60 degrees two days ago, and has been in the mid 50's for a month (normally it's about 42). Rainfall has been average, but in buckets when it comes instead of the steady drizzle. The bomb cyclone did a number on the area (there's still cleanup in progress), and we've had several windstorms since. Currently we're on storm 2 of 6 this week. That's bringing more rain and wind, but not colder temps. But we'll see if that changes things.

From shallow bites to deep-water giants, these baits and techniques will help you catch bass no matter how cold it gets.

The surgery was successful in that they were able to relieve the pressure on his nerves. There were no complications. Whether he makes a full recovery is unknown. Nerves take a long time to heal. My father is resting now. He'll spend about a week in the hospital, and then transferred to an adult care facility for 3 months of rehab and physical therapy. The dangerous part is over. Thank you so much for your healing thoughts and prayers!

Hey guys, We'll be updating the forums soon, and one of the security updates removes the ability to log in with your Display Name. After the update, you must sign in with your email address. I highly advise you start doing that now! Many of you don't even recall what email address you used to sign up, and you'll be screwed when the change takes effect.

Yup, got a video about that too!

Yep

My 90-year-old father is going in for spine surgery on his neck to relieve constricted nerves. That's a pretty tricky surgery for somebody his age. He could end up paralyzed. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. He could use all the help he can get. Thanks! Glenn

Enjoy your gifts! I expect to see some fishing reports about them.

3 are from Japan. Those are some good sticks too. First horse racing, now bass fishing. LOL!

That is hard core. That reminds me of two guys who were in my bass club. Twins. Between the two, they would drink 4 pots of coffee per day, minimum. They would fish tournaments together, and bring a camp stove on the boat to brew coffee throughout the day. They had wicked dropshot presentations!

Only two weeks left! https://www.suzukimarine.com/news/suzuki-marine-usa-announces-7-year-limited-factory-warranty-on-all-v6-outboards/
