BLAT, thanks for explaining the difference between the 2000 and 3000 model of spinning reels. I have been having trouble finding a combination that works well. 

I like the braid to fluorocarbon setup and I have tried several knots that can be done when you are sitting on the couch at home. But, once I’m on the water with the wind, waves, and low light it can be quite a non enjoyable event to re-tie a knot.  😕

I’m looking forward to finding the video for an easier knot to tie. 🤔🤞

Ps There is such a debate among my other anglers over the length of the leader that it’s comical. I do the same thing- as long as my arms are apart. 😀😀😀

Way to go Chad!  That is quite a donkey of a bass. Nice work. 🎣🎉😀

Thanks😀

Next week is fine. Concentrate on your fishing and tell us all about it. 😀

Thanks

Wow. Did you have a fish fry afterwards? What technique caught the most? 

Excellent. You put the work in to find a bite. Sometimes it works out but you can’t catch a bass if you don’t try. 😀

Thank you for the tips. I too feel like the lockdown screw heads prevents hook setting. BLAT throwing out big words today 😀. Someone got a “ word of the day” calendar 🤔🤔🤔😀😀😀😀

Excellent! What techniques did you use?

Didn’t get to fish this weekend but I hope to get out this week. I did have a challenge while trying to organize all my tackle. I have some great friends that take me fishing in their boats so I’m going with smaller specific technique tackle boxes so I can adapt to different water bodies. I also want to downsize on what I take and concentrate on my specific technique. 😀🎣
