Being the “hotdog guy” I couldn’t pass up in sharing the love for the holiday. 

I have to go pancakes if you’re forcing me to pick one.  But I do appreciate a good waffle. 

That sounds like an awesome trip!  Redfish put up a friggen fight. 

Brian Latimer fun fact, my Aunt lives on Lake Oneida.

Fishing our local chain has been a struggle lately.  Not getting many bites.  Because of rain, water levels are up 2ft and there is an algae bloom.  Water went from clear to heavily stained green.  I’m sure this is a shock to the fish not being use to the stained water.  Any thoughts? Should I treat this like fishing muddy water, concentrate on shallow structure and ambush points?  Bites I’m getting are in the mid-depth weeds flipping a worm.  Haven’t tried fishing deep off shore humps or ledges yet.  Wasn’t sure if the water clarity got better with depth. 

Dude that is amazing and crazy scary.  Glad you’re all good.  

Excited to hear about iCast.

Thanks for the info.  No braid backer.  I imagine it’s something internal with the drag system.
