  1. Never knew the Viking king went to the holy land. Now the Viking/Templar collaboration really puts a new wrinkle in the wood grain!
  2. “There’s no fish in Montauk”, but now it’s true.
  3. Try a spinnerbait with a big single Colorado blade BUT fish it like a jig. Lift it off the bottom and feel that blade thump once or twice and drop it. Repeat or let it rest, let the fish tell you. North end of the lake and wood warms first.
  4. One of the big advantages of the casting reel is that it handles slack line, mono or braid, much better than a spinning reel. So if you move the bait with the rod, sluggo, rubber worm, jigs a casting reel is a better choice. Casting reels are more efficient winches as well. Once you make friends with them it’s hard to go back.
  5. One could make a fortune with a Kamala jack-in-the-box…..
  6. There I was, 60 years old, walking down crowded 5th Avenue in midtown. Got a whiff of “Cherry Blend “ pipe tobacco and my brain screamed “Daddy!” He gave up the pipe in ‘74….
  7. They need to get CJ & Frosty back for more. CJ said he sat & told stories in front of the green screen for 4 hours.
  8. Ages ago I read about a number of LMB in a large, circular, white tank. They would just mill around independently. A quarter was thrown into the tank and within a short while all the fish were grouped around it. Such a little thing made such a big difference to them.
  9. @Long WaderTrue about Buck Perry, but Scott started the whole tournament scene aka fishing for money. Back when the Red Man Tournament Trail started hosting Pro-Am events my fishing buddy thought it would be great. I wanted no part of it because once money is involved it becomes work. I saw it as going from I hope I catch some fish today to I HAVE to catch some fish today. My biggest piece of non-tackle gear was a thermometer and that go left home after a couple years. For me the joy is A) being there and B) trying to solve the puzzle I mean, I don’t even get the concept of a guide for the surf. Head east, the ocean is big. You can’t miss it. Enjoy your day off. But that’s me.
  10. Results are all that matter. I blame Ray Scott.
  11. More than twice…. I think.
