What is the name of this lure and which fish does it catch

The Gulf is VERY shallow, which means warmer water. You have to go really offshore to get into some really big game fish. Now, February water will be colder, so I've seen on occasion people catching smaller tuna, or wahoo. I've caught a 15 lb Amberjack ... that was a nice fight, but it was a few days after a huge storm, and that's what brought them in. I'd say you have to be pretty lucky to get one of these types of larger fish. Typically what is caught is red snapper, hog fish, grouper (check whether season is open for grouper) ... smaller fish are what you get ... around the 2 lb to 5 lb mark. It's more volume than fighting. The most fun I've had on the Gulf is booking a charter that took us to a sunken ship, and we fished Goliath Grouper (catch and release). What I've always missed, due to not being there at the right time, is Tarpon fishing. From what I recall, in the Sarasota area ... May is the best month.

The info comes from the Associated Press ... but I can't figure out how to get the link ... it just shows as a summary on my Google Search. This one results ... but I see that the Dems here have 50 votes, but that includes 2 independent parties (which I assume are leaning Democrats). So I think that is where the Associated Press says it's actually 48 for the Dems, 2 Independent, 49 for Republicans and 1 vote for the VP (Dem). See here (to reiterate, look at the notes below the 50 count for the Dems ... it includes 2 independent seats). Senate Midterm Election Results 2022 | CNN Politics So there's only 1 senator seat up for grabs in Georgia?

So, I'm looking at the live results ... Dems have 48, and Republicans have 49 in Senate ... Aren't there 2 senators per State? Is it only 1 up for grabs in Georgia ... or both? Also, it says Dems have 48 seats, not 50 ... ?? Or are they counting the 2 "other" parties as Dems ... why Dems ... are they just left leaning?
-
Can someone give a current status on the midterms? High level? From what I see ... Republicans need 1 more seat to control the house, and that seems like a 100% certainty, so we can conclude Republicans will control the house? For Senate ... it's tied (Dem has one more if you consider the VP (Dem) vote). Georgia will decide whether the Senate is controlled by Dems or Republicans? Do I have that right?

Salmon Staging Big Salmon and Little Salmon Rivers

I agree, I think when they stage, they don't really care about temperature, and may sit in warmer water, although I can imagine if it gets too extreme due to wind bringing in warm water, they may move out deeper a bit. They'll then wait for the rains and cooler nights ... I believe the run is triggered by the temperature of the cooler river water when it rains. -
I'd call this parenting failure, and to be honest community failure. We get to nicey-nicey with the kids ... don't teach them respect, let them run around like savages ... they don't say please and thank you, hold doors open, greet people properly ... and it just ends up getting worse. That didn't happen 40 years ago ... if you didn't hold a door open for an old lady, you'd have half the neighborhood crapping you out. Anyhow, I'm sorry if I've taken this thread outside it's original scope, but I am a strong believer that all this behavior is a product of the new way to parent kids.
