    Welcome aboard! Senkos are fish catching machines in my waters, too. That's why I fish them so much, but moreso wacky than TX. I normally use Zoom Trick or Finesse worms for TX.

    No tourneys for me, either, but over the last couple years I've fished very little during the summer. Just haven't had the passion. The heat and humidity are a pain, doesn't matter the body of water. Gaining weight makes it all the worse. So that's got to be a priority for me and it isn't. Taking time off also helps me focus on my sons' and their interests--they only focus on fishing during certain times of year. They move on to other sports, and things they and their friends are in to at the moment. It also helps with spending money on things I don't really need. Keeps money in our bank account. Fall brings insane travel for elite level soccer for two of the boys - almost every single weekend is travel. And now one of my boys has taken up mountain biking - racing with a local club. So there's travel for that, too. I'm learning -- at 47 -- to just enjoy the curves life throws at me and not worry about missing out on bass fishing five days a week. Life is much bigger than that.

    I do, but usually on non Gamakatsu hooks. I'll try to buy hooks that are sharp out of the bag and only sharpen if they were dinged up on a snag or something. Now I have used BPS hook and have had to sharpen them out of the bag. Though to be fair, that was not on every BPS hook...the thing that threw me off BPS hooks was breakage.

    I can't speak for the Tatulas other than the excellent reputation they've gotten from a number of members here. As for the Lexa, I do like it, I gave mine to one of my sons and he's doing very well with it. I think Daiwa makes a great reel in this price range, FWIW.

    I was gonna say a puddle, but I'm just being snarky this AM One place you wouldn't think you'd ever catch one: Storm drain.

    Pain felt. Got my Costas repaired after temple broke. Two weeks later I sat on them and cracked a lense. At least I can get them repaired... sorry for your loss

    Condolences for your loss. A sad time, to be sure.

    Welcome aboard! Snakes are definitely on the menu for bass, of that I've never had a doubt. But the claims made of all the bites and such, not buying it. Great pic but I had to grab the URL out of the code, so... Here's your pic, reposted for you:

    Heck, I've had beavers and otters scare the living daylights out of me during the DAY! Couldn't imagine fishing out of my yak in the dead of night in our waters.
