We’re enduring very cold weather and impoundments that have not started to fill. My long time fishing buddy we’re having coffee and I told him it’s not just the activity of fishing that I’m yearning for but everything that comes with being on the water. I miss the geese and ducks and the song of red wing black birds. I miss watching Bald Eagles and osprey. The weasels and deer and the occasional beaver are just cool to watch. Even the sound of water lapping on the hull is relaxing. Fishing can offer more than catching. Come on sunshine!!!
I don’t “store” anything in my boat except for two terminal boxes. I treat my tackle and combos like a pantry. When I decide where I’m going to fish I stock the boat with the appropriate combos and organized boxes and or bags. I have “day boxes” where I may place over lapping baits. This system minimizes weight and possible loss from theft.
Dougie or Doooooglas. I’ve been called the claw due to a deformed fingernail. My favorite was bulldog. When I took a case on I never let go. I would work that investigation into the ground. I didn’t care how long it took. I never let go.
If going over the mid range of the rating, you will labor the rod blank. I shy away from exerting
that much stress. If you labor or tax the power of a rod with a snap cast, you risk blank failure.
Realistic? Not really but there are times that the Bass have shown a preference for a short wide profile like a beaver over a long slender profile like a Brush Hog.
