Re: A PSA about your PSA

Agreed with all of you. 18 year cancer survivor myself, get checked up as often as needed. My advice is always this: if it doesn't feel right, chances are it isn't. Get it looked at to give yourself a piece of mind. I get a sore throat or even a small tickle and I immediately panic still. Just be sm...

Re: Spin fishing gear

Okuma trout reel (it was originally in white) and a 5" St Croix rod. Very flexible and versatile for trout, panfish and small bass.

My kids all learned on 6" medium Johnny Morris bass pro rods that I had from tournament days....better for "bigger" fish and can be used in salt or fresh water

And for the record I read that we MAY get a big snowstorm at some point in March. Either way it does not make a difference w the streams.

Re: Shannon's soft re-opening

Did all of you see that due to legal constraints they had to rebrand? South Branch Outfitters now, just saw this on IG this am.

I wish I knew them better, would have used my Firm to help them out with this.
