Hate the bite was tougher, but I can relate to the "one trick pony" and having confidence in a particular bait, big joke in the last bass fishing club I was in, the other members would say "if he (talking about me) ever puts on a 4" watermelon lizard it's over":yikes, that little bait would flat put them in the boat when all else failed, really it was just a matter of down-sizing for tougher bites;)
the missing baits, maybe you'll find them when you get replacements, seem like that's what I do when I can't find a tool, go buy another and when I go to put it up find the previously missing one:Doh: at least I'll have a spare:banghead
the "high-light of my day was while burning one of my brush piles had a pair of bald eagles fly over the northwestern corner of our property:ThumbsUp
always love seeing them:biggrinUSA FLAG:pray
