If I break off on a jig, I usually look up and see a good casting spot coming. I always go to my quickest favorite knot, which is the uni. I'll occasionally go with a Palomar, but that's a rarity. I guess I'm lazy
Guilty...I'm a member and love to fish, but with family obligations and such, I don't have the time or desire to spend much of my free time volunteering. I will donate to the organization occasionally and feel like I do a very small part. Dan and Matt are my heroes!
If you want the advantage, be very accurate with your cast around logs in in current in about 3-4 FOW. Also, pass up the downed trees and come back upstream and throw between the first wood and the bank.....that spot hardly ever gets fished
The only thing I can get excited about cooking, are steaks on the Weber. Just don't have the time anymore. I've got the refrigerator room in my basement fridge, so I'm going to buy a bone-in rib Roast and start the dry aging process. Can't wait
This statement pretty much sums up the problems with the mind set. If you're constationed by the limits of reality, time to punt and find a new solution. Being constrained by reality is a good thing
I was making my way across Table Rock once in the fog and some douche in a bass boat was going full tilt and darn near hit me. I figured we were both idiots. But I feel I was less of an idiot. I guess he figured he had a GPS and that entitled him to run full tilt. I will never do that again.
Do it yourselfers are hard to come by nowadays. Skilled tradesmen are retiring with no one to replace them. Can't hardly find a good young machinist anymore
Wrench, were you an apprentice Toker at the time? Maybe somebody sold you African crap and told you it was Acapulco Gold ?
I think maybe Quillback might have the best answer
I have barely been out this year, AT ALL. So the only one I've caught over 16" was a day trip with JoeD
But that's about to change....headed to the north country on Sunday and to the Meramec this week
