.. I took it personally,
was it aimed at me in particular, most definitely not. so......I don't
know.

Wasn't anything aimed at anyone personally..We just come from different
generations and different parts of the Nation.
We all still like fishing and that's all that matters. Maybe someone got
something out of J.S.'s post that will help people understand what we mean
when we talk about the "old timers"...
No harm, no foul....We been chatting up white perch, or crappie all day
along with snow somewhere I responded to earlier. Long live HUMIDITY!!! We
also been talking about PACA Craws and Zoom Flukes....Any thoughts? You
should try that fluke on a jig head for those small mouth.
I've caught boatloads on the Tennessee River when it was so cold we had
coveralls on! I don't know where you from but I do know you spoke of
smallmouth in another thread. From my understanding they love the cold
weather. Probably a lot better than I do here in Alabama!
