Well, it looks like ya have plenty you can do on all these windy days. There's a few months more of them.

I'll be with ya.....the Trout bite was about NIL & VOID when I talked to ya on the phone.

I'll recruit a few more knife blades. Cuz, it looks like "piling snappers" for me. Hell, it's super EZ for me compared to chasing those vanished Troutz, except for the cleaning I'll have to do. If fiddlers stay available :?:

See ya out there,

Congrats on the purchase :highfive: Those crimp connectors are no good in a wet environment. Have to solder & heat shrink wires in a boat. I deal with people all the time who use crimp connectors on their trailer plugs & wonder why they only work for a few months until the sand & salt gets in there. Keep the pictures coming. :popcorn:
