That is heart-breaking, Tank...take a breather...we'll be here when you get your mojo back.

And when you're desperate, you'll toss everything including the kitchen sink...

Shouldn't that be 'brown glove'?

I'll take Goth Bass, thank you - with the lovely Patricia.

Yesterday was spent retrieving the items from mom's estate either specifically left to me, or that I'd claimed from a list. Couple of them were framed prints from my Grand-Uncle...let's see if @A-Jay can fully identify them (I know what they are, just wondering if he does.)

Zoom Lil Critter Craw, UV Speed Craw , Z Craw Jr., Tiny Brush Hog - any of those would make a good Ned 'craw' imitator...I use the Tiny Brush Hogs myself.

It's a common logperch - part of the darter group. https://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/FactSheet.aspx?SpeciesID=821

^ I'm with Kent - my MH/F spinning rig that I use for skipping and light pitching has a 2500 on it. Casts far enough and I have no issues with line management...course I run braid to leader on all my spinning rigs...20# Smackdown to 10# YZH for this rig.

The connector pair is HERE

Cut off the alligator clips, crimp copper or even aluminum terminals onto the bare wire, bolt to battery. If you want to be able to disconnect easily - put a set of these between the battery and the TM...make sure the wire gauge is correct for the amount of Amps you can pull at max....usually 6AWG or 8AWG. (Pictured is 6AWG)

I just gotta remember to put the plug in when I close the valve to the livewell drain...make that a habit.

Ya - it does depend on how close to the waterline you are. Since Bass Trek sits up higher than a standard bass boat, a roll-cast IS mandatory for me to get the lure to skip.

And to quick-inspect your boat and trailer to make sure you're not dragging weeds and other things from one lake to another.

Yep - to get the lure low enough to the water to skip it, a roll cast is almost mandatory.

If only my lawn was that short. 🥴

No leader - straight YZH.

I would have guessed 'Skull and Crossbones' myself, Katie.

Even better - if you upgrade and sell the rod, the balance of the warranty transfers to the new owner.

I got my membership card.

I knew I liked you for a reason. If it's Apple, I don't want a thing to do with it...and the only Micro-snert thing I have is the OS on my desktop and laptop otherwise it's 3rd party apps. Phone has been Samsung since the mid 90s, with service from AT&T - camping in the late 90s/early 00s, out in the boonies of Kansas, people kept wanting to borrow my phone cause theirs (Verizon, Sprint, etc) didn't have service while mine did.

Shore fishing this morning - almost skunked, but I'm not too proud Also tried a Finesse-Jika with a few different plastics...3" Tiny Brush Hog (GP), 3" Rage Bug (GP), 4" Zoom C-Worm (Wtrmln Seed)...something wanted it, lots of 'tap-tap-tap', but it never committed to any of them.

Typical lazy cajun. Me - I'm just hanging around.
