Dark Skies I have to tell you I thoroughly enjoy the threads you create. I can tell a lot of painstaking research goes into them. Whether it is information about the moratorium and declining bass numbers or guidelines and suggestions about fishing, you really try to pass along your knowledge. At one time I had the energy you had but now I am enjoying my golden years. Thank you for trying especially to educate the younger anglers out there. Bucket head I used to rake crabs a long time ago. They are without a doubt the best offering you can use to entice bass for the hot summer weather. It is tedious and time consuming and I can assure you that Bucket head earns every bass he catches. Too much work for me at this stage but I enjoy your stories. Good luck gentlemen.
