Excellent. If you learned something it's a win.

Outstanding Glenn. Thank you for the pics and video. I'am a little sad with all the videos you've made for us we haven't heard you sing.

Very nice.

First cast surprise this morning.

Caught 3 LM and 7 Spots today in the glorious 30 mph winds.

No! That's like asking which wife is my favorite, IT AIN'T RIGHT. They all have a place in the line up. Some are lighter and handle great, some are powerful and can bigger task, and some are silky smooth.

I usually throw the single Colorado for bream feeders and a double Willow for shad feeders. Maybe a dark skirt, sometimes the crush brighter colors.

Shallow & Stained ≈ Spinnerbait

I've fished all over your home lake in my 1448. It'll run 25 mph with the 25 Mercury. I can fish for 8 hours with the 80 lb Terrova and when I plug it in to charge they're still at 70%. It comes in way under 2K and launching/loading is a snap.

If it's working don't change.

Glad you got it figured out. You giving up an arm or a leg? Leg, harder to fish with one arm. Pulling fixtures? I would've just pulled the diverters off and flushed them.

Three working tiolets started having problems at the same time while everything else is functioning normally. It's likely a poltergeist, I'd leave now.😆 It does sound like sediment in your float valves. Slow to fill and won't shut off, yep, flush out the valve.

Night possibly, running maybe, long range will also make judging 40 versus 80 lbs very difficult if not impossible. I called predators for over twenty years and you typically get a couple seconds to make a decision.

Welcome to the forum.

Excellent!

All Springs are great, it's my physical and mental(mostly) abilities that make them ordinary or extraordinary. We had a nonexistent shad spawn in 2023 and it hurt my feelings something fierce.

My girl Bailey(Dachshund) that thinks she's a cross between a Greyhound/Bull Mastiff/Draft Horse/Great Dane is highly allergic to any chicken. So she gets a few special mass produced chicken free treats but really loves a plate of baked Spotted Bass, dices tomatoes, matchstick carrots, and shredded cheddar.

My tenacity is used for getting me through the back and shoulder pain when I sit up in bed at the 4 am alarm. Everything beyond that is gravy. Passed multiple Kidney stones while fishing.✔️ Puking while fishing. ✔️ All that mess is temporarily in the mind but the memory of giant bass live there forever.

I don't change hook size or thickness and use Hairwire lead and adjust as needed. With the amount of weight I usually add, I haven't noticed a difference in action.

What a great idea.

Welcome to the forum. Leon some of us fish $100+ lures in ponds. Nice gear works great everywhere.

Very nice.

1/8

Made a run down the lake in 30 degree temps and got my hands good and frozen. I'd just got into big swimbaits and was excited to fish my new 8" Hudds on my only 8' SB rod and Abu 6500 spooled with fresh 65 lb braid to leader. I proceeded to launch that Hudd on a beautiful point but my frozen numb thumb slipped off the spool and the resulting backlash was spectacular. After cutting away the mess, I was left with maybe 30 yards of braid.

Welcome to the forum. The answer to your question on buying new gear is "YES". Just kidding. No I'm serious.
