Well, if there is a best way to send a boat off, the little one reeling in a king out of deep water with spinning tackle would be it.

Nah, HB is being gaslit. If it’s not gaslighting, it’s coercion, or censorship. Tell tale sign of bad faith. We all remember the doomer politicians pushing catastrophe prediction, news articles all over dooming on man-made climate change, and climatologists who bucked that narrative losing funding. And it all makes sense now with this new bullcrap grid being built around us that nobody wants, except for the technocrats who born all the green propaganda in their think tanks to justify it.

Trust to me is reserved for neighbors, family and friends-the folks who can earn it. Forgiveness the same. The scientific community, political apparatus, corporate power structures demand to be trusted, but they’re actually asking for your faith. The infinite resource printed out of thin air, backed by nothing but violence melds these institutions into a machine. There’s a control group, the Amish, who mostly didn’t accept stimmy check bribes, who don’t reference NOAA or much of anything else or place their faith in man. They are one of, if not the only subset of the white population actually growing their numbers. What other metric actually means more than that? I don’t know how any Trump supporter, Newsom supporter, or institution believer has enough forgiveness in their heart to still be playing the red v blue stuff or have any sort of trust left in any faceless man-made structure at this point.

Ive always felt like trolling was akin to trapping and making your set. Its the technical aspect that makes it fun for me. To keep things fun I'll tell a buddy to run his side of the boat or make sure the kids are picking the spoons etc. I probably get more pleasure landing a walleye or steelhead on an outside board effectively without tangles than getting the bite itself if that makes sense. Same concenpt for a tipup 'set' v being in the shanty jigging. Theres a reason more people hunt than trap and if the fishery keeps supporting good results for King jiggers I expect more people to give it a try because its a thrill-but it'll never satisfy those guys that want to perfect their set.

As a softball coach for the last 7 years Im not going to be the guy who poo poos that reality. Kids these days and their travel leagues are something we barely had during my playing years.

I wish all these bass guys fishing smallies in Jeff County right now would switch over to salmon. Up here the parking lots are stuffed a week before bass are even legally targetable. Goes to the point of promotion-ever since ESPN deemed Jeff County the best smallie fishing in the world its been jammed packed.

The rails are being greased in many ways for technologies nobody asked for and a lot of folks don't want. The raw materials are being fought over between countries and corps. The govt is buying stakes in private mining companies, particularly rare earths. https://www.tradingview.com/news/reuters.com,2026:newsml_L4N3Z01XF:0-trump-administration-pivots-to-buying-stakes-in-critical-sectors/ https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/amazon-digs-deep-ai-gold-copper-mine-partnership-fuels-massive-data-center-expansion https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/signing-of-long-term-deal-for-supply-of-uranium-for-india-s-n-power-generation-expected-during-canada-pm-s-visit-101771997765309.html If you are a Micron (bought wetlands cheap, filled over 250 ac), solar company/grid infrastructure (NYSDEC General Permits speedup permitting/review), data centers, or mining the raw materials to build this industry up you'll have greased rails and the public comment is just a formality.
