Reruns or not, those are great.
Wish they didn’t hit quite so close to home....
Happy Birthday and Blessings in abundance!

I recently bought a trout magnet kit after buying a new trout setup. After researching how to effectively use this lure I saw many people use a fluorocarbon leader with it. Is this absolutely necessary? I have 4lb mono spooled up and I'm wondering if that will do fine without the leader. Thanks in advance!

Monofilament line came out in the early 1950’s. Fluorocarbon line was invented in 1971.
Those of us who were fishing during the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s caught “a few fish” on mono during those years before Fluor came on the scene...and we still do.
All we had to use for trout, bass and panfish for 30 years was 4 to 8 lb mono and we caught lots of fish.
Fluor has certainly given us a line that is less visible in the water, but there are other factors that also influence our catch rates. Learning about the fish you want to catch will also help you catch fish: what they eat, where they prefer to hunt/feed, time of day/night they are most active...
Spend as much time learning about the species you are trying to catch as you do learning about the gear you think will help you catch fish and I think your success rate might just improve...
Good fortune and tight lines!
Florida is a pretty big state...
You might want to narrow the scope of your request a bit...

After 44 years of marriage to my first wife, I’ve discovered marriage is also honoring caring, forbearing, sharing, considering, humoring, favoring, heart-warming, empowering, cheering, enduring, endearing, partnering, adventuring, wondering and pioneering - among other things.
Thankful for my life’s partner, Vickie. What a jewel!

How many people are getting the entire winter allotment of snow and wind in three days? Is it just us? Lol Should be green around here next summer 👍
Got 10” here yesterday. Temps at -8 last night. Plowing on an arc when it is below zero is not as fun as fishing, but it’s got to be done.👍
Salmon have great cheeks.

Check out Fuse Lenses.
They make great lenses and solid frames.
They also make polarized replacement lenses that fit any pair by any maker. They also sell a half a dozen pairs of their own glasses. Great quality, excellent customer service and they will replace a pair of their glasses for free one time after you buy them.
I have no connection to the company except to have bought their glasses and I used them to replace the lenses in my Costa’s after Costa refused to take care of their problem glasses they sold me.
Hope your boat slip faces into the wind.
That looks like a lot of canvas!😳
Thank God for those who serve and protect us all.
Thank you Defenders of Freedom!

Mom would always remind us as we left the house to, “Watch out for the looney tunes!” At 91, she still gives that admonition.
As she has aged , she now lets us know that “Growin’ old ain’t for sissies!”
(Boy does she have that right!)

What do you listen to while fishing? Nature itself or do you have music you enjoy?
I enjoy most country music on the drive to the put-in. After that I want to hear the rhythm of the waves , the whisper of the wind and singing reels.
What did you upgrade to? I’d be interested in your reasons for upgrading.
Do you have pics of the “Trollman”?
Thanks
😀love the grandsons! I have 3. Not driving the boat yet, but they will.
