      Fishing for schoolies on the housatonic
      This is a striped bass.. Little guy. Let him go. These fish grow up to 75lbs out in the ocean

      Maybe so. Maybe not

          On a boat with the proper gear. you can get right on top of the HUGE schools and catch 100-200 of these. No joke. Up to 30” the schoolies are

                Too many baits but no fish? Have you tried Gosport harbour? There are even fish in Venice Channels due to less boat travel there with Corona

                      We're not allowed to fish in the UK atm.  Which is a pisser as there is some good bass fishing 5 mins walk from here, and the Bass should be inshore now…..

                        The problem is you need a bigger room for lures

                          That's what I keep telling Paula, she won't listen.  So, I put this outside the room this morning…..(I don't think she's seen it yet)......That'll hold a few rods  😉 😉

                                  You converted all your plugs and poppers to single inline hook? That’s the best. Lose less fish that way.

                                    Some of my bass lures are rigged with in-line singles (I mainly fish with singles in the Tropics), but some are still rigged with trebles or a single and a treble....

                                      I’m converting my poppers, darters and jigs to
                                      Single hooks. Can use a bigger sharper hook than on a treble.

                                      Maybe so. Maybe not

                                        You could always use a mechanics chest to store your lures.  Just an idea.
