Ask Hammer. He know everything!

American classic

Mono rig is nothing like a spinning reel or bait caster. It is a fly rod and fly reel with fly line and a very long leader. I do not use my mono rig like a euro nymph rod . I use just like a fly rod Drys ,wets ,nymphs. streamers I just, feel your more connected and hook set is much better. No sag from fly line. Don't get me wrong, I still use fly line too . I also make my own leaders 60 20 20 rule . So it would be 5 ft 2 ft 2 ft. you must reduce leader down in size .I still use my 9 foot rods . We all high stick at times depending on river or stream. There is no bad way to fish. To each his own .I should say As long as it is legal.

They got smarter this year and ran straight out of Sussex and down toward @mazzgolf!

I think you and that ravin guy should do a ten bass challenge. If anyone wants in I will take all the action. But I know where my money is going

I noticed a few Jakes in 21 22 had more 23 I had 3 3 5 and 6 at different spots this year I thought would be amazing. I have 3 3 and 5 that I know of. Didn’t hit the 4th spot yet. I don’t have many adults I don’t have many hens I didn’t see many poults last summer I was thinking today that maybe once the chicks hatch the male chicks have a higher survival rate than the hens maybe they’re a little bigger may be there a little faster everywhere that I knew there were birds last year there’s a lot of jakes and few or no hens so far this season what the heck happened to all of the jakes from last spring. Survival rate must be lower than we think

Which for Mike is worse than losing his health.

It is really amazing to me how these turkeys can pinpoint exactly where you’re calling from I heard two gobbles at 5:44 I set up on them at 551. I called to them at 555. Got a triple gobble. I waited three minutes I called again I didn’t hear anything called At 6. They triple gobble I gave a few soft clucks at 602. They flew out at 603. ( they were on the bottom of the hill I thought they were already on the ground). I saw them fly down about 90 yards away about 10 seconds after they hit the ground I gave a couple more clucks. They walked right to me. I didn’t say a work. At about 59 they triple gobbled. Wide open hardwoods. They then walked right to me. They where 7 and 8 and 9 yards away At that point they were frantically looking all around and they were clucking from about 15 yards in. Pacing back-and-forth looking all around for a couple minutes then they circled behind me when they got about 20 yards behind me they triple gobbled again and then they walked off and then I snuck out of there. I don’t wana shoot a jake. about a mile away I saw three hens in a field I went to my next spot as I was pulling in the driveway there was a gobbler all fannedout on the shoulder of the road 30 yds up from the driveway I park the truck snuck out called to him he gobbled and ran at me but he must’ve either seen me or didn’t like the car that close because he came to like 40 Gobbled. So loud I could hear the feathers vibrating. Then didn’t call anymore. I never saw him but then he vanished. next 3 spots. Nothing got very hot and humid fast. Windy to. I miss last weeks weather

No your missing the point . When bass are on the feed , eating bunker . they will readily eat anything that mimics that bunker also

Mine are always 72.5 inches. Lucky I guess.

MGHUNTER66 only uses mop flies, as he says they are the most traditional fly you can use.

I think you are missing the point. If you gave a rod to 10 average fisherman and one of the ten was using a live bunker (when there are bunker around), it is likely the stripers will eat the live bunker over an artificial. You can disagree or argue, but stripers will pick the live bunker over a spoon or shad most times. I know if I was a betting man, I would pick the live bunker if money was at stake in a bet. Generally speaking, live bunker is best. I didn't say you Vs. another........you quite possibly could out fish others with artificials. You may be better than others fishing an artificial bait and could catch more than another fishing live bunker. As I stated above, my buddy who I tuna fish with in Cape Cod is on the water EVERYDAY bass fishing from May 15 - Aug 15 and he will out fish 99 out of 100 people. So I understand you are confident in yourself and you may out fish most using artificial bait. However, generally speaking; bass will be more willing to take a live bunker.... I am far better at tuna fishing than bass fishing. I can out jig most, NOT ALL. I spent lots of time doing it. That being said, I have fished many trips where the tuna would not touch a jig. All they wanted was bait OR vice versa.

What do you think of Wax Wormers?

Sorry guys but I hate Euro nymphers almost as much as center pinners. If you’re going to run mono just fish a noodle rod and admit you’re not fly fishing

Me and my buddy Snoopy pray for your pup.

So sad to hear, hoping for the best turnout for you both

I say the opposite I've seen more birds this year than the past few. But they keep getting henned up

I liked to hear about his hunts and his knowledge of how he worked birds. But I agree the numbers are definitely down and I hunt zone 14.

I took them home them all home last year. They guard my house.

Beautiful dog, sending prayers your way.

My prayers are with you for your dog hope everything works out

I remember years he killed 8 or 10. It's been slow for him the last couple years, the numbers just aren't there in his neck of the woods like in the past.

Prayers for Cammie

Yummy!
