I quit losing cushions when I began wrapping the strap around the shifter handle. Losing rods kicking them overboard isn't hard. Sorry for your losses but enjoy the new stuff.

Thanks everyone. My dad said, "it's a bixxxh to get old" and he was right.

Agree with everyone; pictures are great.

I fish early mornings weekdays and it's usually not too bad. Laural Park, Little River and Clarks Bridge boat ramps all get you to the upper end of the lake and they're all free. Browns Bridge is the dividing line for the lower lake and upper lake. Sounds like you're catching fish so keep on doing what you're doing.

I used to use the fold down clip ons and a buddy had me try his Coocoons over glasses. The difference was striking. Amber is the color I use. They have a BOGO sale a couple times a year.

Finally got back to fishing Wednesday and Thursday this week and did fairly well for not fishing Lake Lanier since January. 14 Alabamas and 1 LM with the largest Alabama on a walking bait @ 2.87lbs. Fished 4-5 hours per day and back home for my infusion before noon.

No mention about the cost.

That's a doozy, congrats.

I use the gold one for redfish around the Crystal River with no trailer. They knock the crap out of it. Never used one for bass.

As I'm not able to go fishing I live vicariously through you, thanks.

4.5. Have a 16' tin bass boat with a 7" on the bow and a 9" on the console with side finder. Usually carry 6-8 rods with a foot controlled trolling motor. On the kayak I carry one rod and a pack of worms with a few hooks and sinkers.

We have an older Ford Ranger for my kayak fishing. Throw the kayak in the bed and rods in the cab or the bed. It's an extended cab so the rods fit. I can also tow my 16' tin boat with it.

I keep an Alabama bass or two every couple of weeks for dinner that night or the next. My wife sautees the filets in butter and they're delicious.

This is going to take some time but it works. Take the reel apart and clean it thoroughly leaving it dry. Remove the level wind gear, put some toothpaste on the clean gears and use a drill motor to spin the handle. Take it apart, clean, grease, oil and put it back together, not forgetting the level wind gear.

For the west coast guys Kencor made noodle rods. I used to tape a Mitchell 308 to an old fly rod with mono sewing thread, about 1 lb test, line for crappie usually with a micro jig that Tom talked about. That was the original noodle rod.

Why not? 3/16 or 1/4” aluminum plate.

I live near the north end and still don’t fish on weekends. Check out fcp fishing.

Strip set.

Squirt some contact cleaner in the switch inside the handle. Three screws under the cover.

Remove the Talon and try it. Do you have lead acid or lithium batteries for the trolling motor?

Find another shop. The weight of your boat fully loaded and where the weight is located are also factors in determining the right prop. I have a stainless prop on my tin boat with a 50 and got very little speed increase and my hole shot is good. You have to have a tach and know your maximum rpm to properly dial in a prop.

A 19” pitch prop will push your boat 19” through the water with no slip. If you want top speed select a prop that will turn the maximum rpm of your engine at WOT. The best thing is to consult a good prop shop for the right one for your boat. The pitch isn’t the only thing that will make your boat perform at its best.

A lot of the bass I catch in FL have them.

I use a fish shaped one with chains. I spoon fish in brush piles and get them out about 70% of the time.
