  2. Billethead and fishinwrench, do not worry I will not judge you or waste a shell on you. Never shoot the messenger because the next time he may have something you should know. Wrench sometimes people just do not understand that not all people think like them. I hate to say this, But sometimes and I mean sometimes, I do agree with you. You can work on my boat anytime I am in your area and need help for sure. I hold nothing against anyone's views. Even If You Were Wrong. 🀣πŸ€ͺπŸ€ͺ🀩
  3. I used to go to Fayette County Lake on the first of January every year in Texas, No matter what the weather was. I vertical spooned by the dam, in 40 to 45 ft of water. 2 to 4 ft off the bottom and caught the heck out of some really nice bass. Best was one over 9lbs. 4's 5's and 6's were the normal for me then. It was always my way to bring in the New Year.
