First try the portable tank. If it runs, drain or pump out the tank, add a can of gas treatment, fill it up and it should be fine. 2 stroke, 4 stroke, 3 cylinder, 4 cylinder?

All good now, it changed back.

On this site only my cursor changed from an arrow to a small arrow with a dot on the bottom. Anyone else?

I don't freeze them. If I catch a fish we want to eat I'll filet it and cook that evening or the next.

Caught my PB, over 7 but still want a double digit fish. I've fished where they are for several years but struck out.

Hi Phil, I'm like you but considerably older, 83. I have a boat in the water most of the time but only fish short days. In the AM when it's too hot in the afternoons and PM when it's too cold for me. If ski boats and wake boats are out I go home. My passion for fishing hasn't ebbed much but, as you say the body has. I'm still able to kayak fish rivers for different bass for the Georgia Bass Slam but not as often. I'll be in Central FL in January for a few months and get in touch with you if you'd like. When I'm in FL I usually fish alone several times a week either on rivers, Withlacoochee or Rainbow or the many lakes around me. I have a late '80s 16' tin bass boat that gets me in the water. Alex

For the life of me I can't tie an FG with leader lighter than 12 lb so I tie a 3 wrap surgeons knot or alberto. I usually use 6 or 8 lb leader with 10-15 lb braid.

Many years ago I built a mount for a spare tire on the front of my trailer that swung down and had a pin so it rolled on the ground. I used it for really shallow ramps in Baja. I'd hook a chain from the trailer to the truck and push the boat and trailer down the ramp until it floated. To retrieve I did the reverse. This was with a dual wheel trailer and a 5000 lb boat.

I have personally caught 12 of the 19 recognized species so far.

9/28 went to the Chattahoochee River to try and catch a Chattahoochee Bass for the GA Bass Slam. They are gorgeous fish and a large one is 12". We floated in kayaks and had to walk several places, drops and low water, on slippery rocks. Pretty tough for an old man but worth it. Caught 6 with the largest 10 1/4".

Just wait until the afternoon to charge it/them. I've been using a lifePO4 battery for my trolling motor for almost a year and it's the best improvement I could have done to my boat. I can run for several days on a charge, it weighs 1/4 what the group 27 lead acid weighed, charges in 1/2 the time and the boat gained .3 mph.

On Lake Lanier the Corp of Engineers almost requires lake front owners to put rip rap up but allows wake/surf boats. Builders must put silt fences up but boats wash shoreline. We need a bigger lobby.

When a bass gets into a brush pile and you can't get it out I disengage the reel and wait for it to get itself out. Sometimes it works.

Geese flying over and Great Blue Herons.

I fish lots of GA rivers that used to have native species. It's hard to find a pure Redeye, Chattahoochee, Altamaha, Shoal, Smallmouth or others. Where I fish mostly, Lake Lanier, I catch several times the amount of Alabamas compared to LM. I talk to old timers that fished here when the lake was first impounded and they say there were all LM.

Like a lot of others I'm up in age and crappy on balance. I can't fish as long as I used to or want to.

10 or 12 should be fine. It's springier than mono so 10 might be better.

I carry all my tackle in a fly vest. Saves me from carrying a box.

Doesn't work Glenn.

Me too. I've found if I enter "https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums" it will bypass the menu and go directly to "forums".

6 or 8 lb mono or fluorocarbon, 1/0 worm hook, 1/16th or 1/8th oz bullet weight and a 4 3/4" finesse worm. Docks, wood and points. From Maine to California and all points in between it works.

We used to have a house in Palmetto and I went to Terra Ceia often weather permitting. I was in a 14' boat. The inshore fishing was usually good all winter. Snook, redfish, trout, whiting, sheepshead and jacks mostly. All I used were artificials except for sheepshead. Just like bass fishing but the saltwater fish fight harder and taste better. Discount Tackle in Bradenton is the best tackle store close by.

When I click on the menu at the top left nothing comes up. I have to go down and click on a thread then the menu comes up like it used to.

I lay the butts in the truck and strap the tips to the corner with the tips sticking up.

I have a couple of Shimano Bantam 100s that have 2 centrifugal brakes on a pin on the spool shaft. There are different weight brakes that slide on the pin and I took one off to try and it works fine. They're easy to lose as they slide off the pin so I have to take the reel apart with the brake side up. Todays reels are much more user friendly.
