Bird

Thanks for the video. Wind is the very first consideration when I'm picking and choosing the best days to take to the water.

Loosing a dog is extremely painful but soon Mya will be wagging her tail in doggie heaven.

When you get older 20 years ain't nothing 😂

Was sitting in my tree stand once and realized I was hunting with an unloaded gun. Not tried a lure without hooks.....yet.

My wife cleans all the fish and loves her Rapala knife and clip board. I use a file working it away from the blade and a whetstone working the blade forward..... that's how I was taught.

I have an emergency paddle on the Bass boat but have no intention of ever using it and what would it do other than make a splash. Also have a jump pack but experience has shown that they need to be fully charged to be effective, like you better charge them monthly.......I do. 24 volt trolling battery (s) saved me last year when a lower unit grenaded.

Thanks for the tips. Local guy caught a 6.3 Smallmouth from our local river last week, water temp 42*. That Smithwick fish is an absolute tank.

I've never had a disappointmenting purchase from Kastking and have made many via Amazon.

So what I'm gathering from this thread is color preference is not nation wide. The thousands of different lakes and rivers we fish doesn't have the same forage. BUT i swear in the spring, if a spinnerbait isn't white with red strands in the skirt it's basically a Christmas ornament 😁.......if your pursuing smallmouth.

Man I hope not 😳

Red is popular in spring due to the molten season for craws but I personally find that red is more inticicing for small mouth bass. Lots of river fisherman I know throw Red lipless and Divers in early spring for smallmouth but Red doesn't appear as appealing for largemouth bass. IMO Orange and brown is my go to color for jigs prespawn for LM.

A caveman answer.......I do best with jigs around wood on a slow retrieve, bumping everything.

I've always wondered what kind of fine or trouble these kind of dishonest people get themselves into...... especially tournament fisherman.

Would a Zoom speed craw on a 1/8 Shaky head be considered " finesse " ?

I'd opt for an lockable outdoor storage shed, very affordable and you could store a push mower and weed eater. Lowe's , home Depot and Amazon have many to choose from.

Exactly why I got out of trapping, nothing but skunks while my brother had foxes.....true story.

Beetle spins , small poppers and nightcrawlers thrown weightless. I have my wife throwing the above and she does well. The weightless nightcrawler never hangs simply because something is gonna eat it.

Welcome to Bass resources. WV is not only beautiful but a great place to fish.

I remember my past very well but it's been written in stone, nothing I can do to change it. The present is something I can have an effect on, me personally and others. Have a positive influence on someone else and you'll reap the benefits. Constantly dwelling in the past with a form of negativity can be something more serious, depression. Happy vs sad.

I definitely throw the WP because they cover water like a buzz bait but failed to mention, it's not my biggest producer. A properly tuned Devils horse gets thrown most often.

Took my wife to a nice Italian restaurant. We took her car and I left my wallet in my truck 😳

If you haven't taken a skunk you're not fishing enough.

This temporary world we live in is temporary. Prayers for family and friends 🙏

Bone and Monkey butt have been my best colors and have caught the most on the 90 by far.
