Nah, just watch some YouToob fishing vids. Nah, on second thought it would drive you nuts if you can't go fishing. Get your tackle box out and fondle your lures, smell the wonderful aroma of plastics, magic potion oils and stink baits. Organize it and maybe respool your reels. You don't have a place to go dock fishing?

Well you turned out ok J, better than most I have seen. How's fishing in Ohio?

Haven’t made it out yet between the snow, daughters surgery, took over coaching my sons soccer team (I know nothing about soccer) and work. Hoping maybe this Sunday. Plan to use the next couple nice days to get the new trolling motor hooked up and a live well built.🤞🏻🤞🏻

Life gets in the way almost as much as the weather, doesn't it? Well good luck with your projects, and I hope you make it out Sunday. I think I'm gonna try Tightlining at Zoar Friday. As long as the wind isn't too bad.

Thanks buddy. That would be awesome, but I'm not holding my breath. I'll be Happy with a few on the Tightline rod, and be able to see the 4lb test to retie the loop knot between fish. LOL.

I may look into those Bob. I carry a pair of 2x cheaters in the boat, but the clear 4lb in the sunlight is hard to see. Nothing on my boat offers a dark background.
