I do alot of dropshot in summer in socal.... my main lake is heavy pressure and 25ft visibility.. its been hot so I have been finding schools on ledges about 35ft deep right before it drops to 60 ft plus... i use 1/0 owner circle hooks for nose hooked roboworm and 2/0 ewg for Texas rigged with 1/8 - 1/4 cylinder wieght

They are not sponsor but make money when people use there tackleware house and Amazon links from YouTube. Also im sure they get some of commission off the lures they designed

Out here on the west coast fishing yellowtail in the rocks still using 7ft 6inch plus rods is way easier then old 5ft rods... all the new big ocean rods actually give you leverage over the fish cause the way they are designed.. its all about where the rod bends and loads up... also sometimes you are fishing tuna by islands loaded with great whites so your trying to boat a 100lb plus fish in 5 to 10 mins

I pre cool the cooler then I use ice and the cooler shock icepacks... the ice packs stay cold for 4 days when I go to the desert in 80 plus weather

I run bearing buddy hubs so just a grease zerk for me

I an still working cause I am considered essential... my wife and son are home.. all lakes are closed so just work, organize tackle, work on boat, day drink... at night since wife don't have to work after kid goes to bed we watch a movie

I caught some strippers on Salas 7x surface irons at havasu.... I brought a bunch out to fine tune the action one trip and we came across a school of foamers.... 45 minstrel of straight fun. https://www.turners.com/salas/salas-7x-lite-jig-9701

As of yesterday all lakes in San diego county are closed... they are all ran by city and closed them... closest place for me to put my boat in freshwater is 4hours away on the Colorado river.. looks like it maybe time to hit the bay for some bass fishing

A friend of mines dad still runs a jack pole boat out of san diego

No 3d printing but been draining a bait in cad and will cut it at work on a mill or cnc router

I fish on a bass tracker 16ft alum boat... since I don't have spot lock yet I tend to fish cover pretty quick esp if there is any wind... once I find them I will even drop my anchor to really work a area or just make a few passes through the area

I have driving both at speeds over 70... on a the river with really shallow water... the only time I prefered a foot throttle was in my old jet boat... I had a hand throttle in a 18ft picklefork with a 200 merc on it...

I fish pretty much straight 20lb power pro braid on everything except frog/heavy cover is 50lb

I prefer hand throttle... especially in rough seas

This exact reason california implemented all boat opererators must take a uscg approved class and carry a boater safety card.. as of January 1st it will be all people 35 and under... few more years then it will be everyone
