HB2

The Fed and state are hemorrhaging money on Med And security reasons There are many that live from hand to mouth , and have just had their paycheck taken away . The tax money revenue machine for sales and income tax has been cut in half. April 15 is coming up soon and many will be stone broke by then Stimulus checks will be going out soon. Where is the money going to come from ? We already are operating at a deficit . It's going to take years to recover from this . I hope I'm wrong . I was hoping for a new hatchery for Brown's , but my guess is that won't happen . I just hope we maintain the level of fishery we have . Which at this point seems trivial . Prepare yourselves for cuts . I'll leave the " they are overreacting to the situation " for another conversation . Off the dock yesterday afternoon , a few Smallmouth and a brown . Jigs under a float . I'm going as much as I can while I still can . Can't Catch the CV fishing . Bridges were loaded with cars . Guys have the same idea,as me . Stay well my friends .

Agreed about sticks over spoons in shallow water as they sink on turns and if the board stalls . if you are in water 12 ft or less , often times the best depth , you have to know the dive rate of the sticks you are running I like 3 1/2" or 4 1/2" jointed rebels , my favorites in shallow water . Tuned to run shallow . F 9 and F 11 Rapalas J 9 and J 11 rapala in water deeper than 10 ft as they dice deeper I like Smithwicks also . Also Long A bombers .

And also Cuomo made a speech the other day . I can't stand him or his policies but he did a great job with it . Chuck and Nancy showed some good leadership in congress . Trump and Pence have done good work also . Everyone working together for once . Doing what we sent them there for . It took this . It's funny how every few years something comes up that forces us to work together to solve a big problem and stop bickering . I still say it's being overblown .

It looks like panic & fear has taken hold of some . It has become apparent to me that To many people in this country fly by the seat of their pants day by day . They are not prepared for a bad situation that may arise . And seemingly feel that the gov will be their to bail them out . This should serve as a wake up call to them ( but it probably won't ) that they should prepare themselves for the unknown that may occur that would disrupt their lives .

It's an election year All I've heard beforee the last 6 weeks is that The current administration has not done enough about this . So last night you saw what politicly he was forced into doing . Personally , I don't like all the scare tactics being used . It is creating panic in the mentally week . Sure you should prepare yourself , but you should always do that . I tried to but toilet paper 2 nights,ago and the shelves were bare. And this is what the media and Dems want because this is their only chance of getting Biden in there . Can you imagine where we would be with a Hillary economy if this happened ? We would be screwed. Also most of our meds are produced in China .And they have threatened to cut us off. Trump has been saying since the beginning he wants all this manufacturing to come back to the U.S. And he gets railed for it . Guess he was right .

I want the 12 # s I can see you at Tommys when things warm up .

San Francisco declared a state of emergency with no cases reported . REALLY ? Is this the way it's,going to go from now on each flu season ? 18000 people died from the flu last year in this country . Granted this ones bad but we have had,bad strains before . The media tends to try an scare us and as Americans , we tend to go along with it . And the politicians try and use it for their own reasons . I will do what I normally do and not take the chicken little approach . My condolences to all affected.

My next riggers will be Magnum metalz . Saw them at the show and they are built rock solid and are compact . Check them out .

So it's really no different then any of the other flus that have been coming around so since the beginning of time .

And I feel a sniffle coming on so I'm going to take Dr Grannys advise a take a nip , for medicinal purposes.

Bottle of Wild Turkey and some pork rinds

My God given rights have everything to do with it . After thinking about this since the dust settled , I have come to these conclusions If someone breaks into my/ your house , they have made a conscious decision to take their own life into their own hands . They don't know truly if someone is home or not. I know i can't engage anyone outside my home . But I can make life hard for them . Lastly , I refuse to cower in my house and hide in a corner and let an intruder control circumstances that could be detrimental to my loved ones or me . I'm not going indiscriminately let the lead fly , but if I feel threatened , they dug their own grave . Not mine .

I may buy one to customize my rigs . You can also freshen up your stick baits by spraying a coat or 2 of lacquer . Gets rid of that tackle box rash . Some very fine steel wool does wonders Goof off or paint thinner takes off tape residue . You can always paint the front of the spoon all black and make spooks or laser spooks or glo green tape , etc.

If you really want to do it right , you need to strip off the finish coat first . It can be lacquer , or epoxy coat . I use strip ease or something similar. Then you can use car polish or x fine steel wool to shine it .the tumbler would probably be great for this . I will then clean of the wax with paint thinner rag for a good bond for paint . I paint with spray cans although I wish I had an air brush . Then a few coats of clear . Usually lacquer. Put on tape if you want . They come out like new .
