    Good news. Now we just need the river to go down and stay down.

    I think your plan could work and is well planned for the conditions, especially the wind.

    But I do think you should have a plan redfish.

    I’m indisposed of at the moment on out of town business, but as soon as I reach a stopping point or when I get back home on Monday I will follow up on this.

    I need more information: should this be an overtly obvious “LAFB Elite” logo type decal?

    Or should it be something not obvious? Like a symbol/sign only we would know?

    Man, that’s the living, breathing definition of a grind.

    I think you’ve been over 101 a bunch. Next time you plan to go fishing, let us know what you plan to do and we can get you pointed in a better direction.

    Let’s get you on some fish.

    Great report, thanks for posting!

    Hey Greg, thanks for posting an intro! Great to have you here.

    Yeah, I hear you on the heat. It was getting warm on Saturday. My trick is to “beat the heat”, be headed in by 9am. Or go fishing at night. That’s definitely an option and probably a better idea during summer.

    Seriously though, great idea.

    When I get time I’ll see what I can do. But you guys have got to understand that I am not standing around with nothing to do. There’s a lot on my plate right now. When I can get time for making/disseminating decals I will give y’all a heads up.

    Thank you.

    Get face tattoos. It works for gangs, it will work for us.

    Hey, thanks for asking and giving us some Android feedback.

    Yeah, I put it out awhile ago, but there’s no joy on the app. Unfortunately, it’s not happening and without typing out a long, sad story I’d rather just leave it at that.

    For Android I just use my browser and keep LAFB Elite open in a tab. I did the same thing on iPhone. But, to be frank, 99% of my Internet usage is on a desktop computer. I’m that odd-duck that doesn’t use a phone for everything.

    I’m itching to know how you did.

    You’re absolutely correct. Networking is great. Spoon feeding is not. Your mileage may vary.

    That actually could work. Are you familiar with Sticker Mule?

    Having done that exact thing, I can tell you from experience it’s better to just learn how to find them on your own. That seems daunting at first, but over the years I’ve learned it’s better.

    The reason why is because when you do find fish you have the option to keep a lid on it. If you’re connected to umpteen other anglers and you get on the fish and you don’t call them over then you’re rubbing your “team mates” the wrong way and making bad blood.

    It can work really well or be an unnecessary source of man drama.

    That and you’re going to have lost puppies you will regret feeding, if you do. You will have more people who take than they give. Consider how I know, and that there are we folks we label “phone call captains”. Why do we call them that?

    I can’t keep anyone from doing whatever they want, but I don’t want to be branded as a “spots” guy. Been there, done that. I’m a “process” guy, am seen as that and would prefer to keep it that way.

    I would suggest to anyone else to consider the same.

    As I’m sitting here thinking about it, wherever I see rafting mullet (a much larger forage), speckled trout whack the daylights out of the bait.

    That’s a great point. I know the trout I’ve caught were eating smaller fin fish. So if they’re used to applying minimal sucking power to eat their primary forage, when they see yours they won’t hammer it as hard, resulting in a “short strike”. Very interesting.
