• Catching up

I have to do some catching up folks. I have a lot to unpack. I was able to wet a line this evening and had a couple of gar chase a frog. I also had a few taps on a Senko from what felt like crappie striking quick and vanishing into thin air. I have some In Fishermen magazines to read through that have been sitting in a stack of mail. I'm also making sure my fantasy fishing for BASS is all lined up before the tourney starts in the morning. I'm going to check my line and make sure I have all the tackle I need for the time being. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

• Justified Font

I did a little tinkering and decided to align all text in my posts with justification. Let me know if the justified font reads any easier or even whether or not it looks better. There are only a few caveats related to using the justify tag. I've already discovered one post affected by one of those glitches. Still, after some tinkering, I was able to also figure out how to get links in my posts underlined without manually underlining them during editing. That will save me some time.

That is all.

• Updated Gamma Edge FC; Solunar Charts

Tackletour has published a rather brief review of Gamma Edge Fluorocarbon.
http://www.tackletour.com/reviewgammaedgefc.html

I edited my review to include some of the findings in this new article. I can't say I had the same experiences they did, but since they have already done a good shootout comparing various fluorocarbon lines, they have to be pretty knowledgeable on the subject. Have a read. See what you think now.

In Fishermen has yet to publish new solunar calendars on their site. It's still April and they do have that one up. I would love for them to go ahead and put up the new monthly calendars so I can update my links for you guys.

• Upcoming April & May Posts

I still won't be home for a while and that itch to fish is driving me nuts, especially after watching the amazing stringers from the Lake Falcon BASS tournament. I won't have my gear at my side to write a few future posts I have in mind. I do have a few topics I can go ahead and write before then. I'll go ahead and give you the spoiler info so you know what I'll be posting over the next couple of weeks.

A few upcoming posts are not all that interesting, but also very useful in their own way. Besides posts on lures such as the Terminator T2 spinnerbait, Arbogast Hula Popper, and Mepps Aglia, I will also add some tips that will help you out this Summer. Soon the topwater bite will be in full swing. Not all of us fish from boats, but the same topwater techniques bank fishermen use can still work when fishing from a boat. I'll mainly be talking about working a buzzbait parallel to the bank. Next I thought I'd mention that those little silicone packets that come packaged inside any number of products to prevent moisture can also be used for the same purpose in tackle boxes. I've also mentioned the speedometer fix in my Bass Tracker V18 post, but it's a common issue with the sensor that really does deserve its own post. Finally, I'll post the (length x length x girth)/1200 bass weight calculation for those who don't know it yet, although you can find that formula everywhere these days.
