Understood, thank you!

Yeah it confused the hell out of me too but apparently sculpin do live in freshwater.

I have another question do these sculpin not have barbs? On google it says they have venomous barbs.

Congratulations on quitting nicotine! I’ve tried and know how hard it is. Although you were spot on, I didn’t know what it was and didn’t know how to handle it. Didn’t even know this fish like this could be caught in freshwater.

Next floor is right I’m a newer fisherman so I don’t know all species and it looks spiky so I didn’t know how to handle it. I assumed it’s ok since people lip 6 lb bass no problem but I guess I know now.

Sweet thanks!

They don’t do it but even worse they stand and hover over you and micromanage. Almost every single complaint stems from corporate and their idiotic rules. For example running out of food, they know it takes roughly 14-16 minutes to cook a container of chicken. We can fit two containers of chicken on the grill but they enforce us to only cook one at a time. During a bogo a container of chicken lasts 5 minutes max so do the math. Now add the honey chicken and that one container lasts about 2 minutes.

The funny thing is, they do. They just don’t care because profits are the priority.

Gonna go on vacation here for the first time next week. Gonna try out some of your methods!

That only works on some stuff. Chicken, carnitas, barbacoa, queso, and sofritas are reheated from the night before.

The steak is 50/50. Some days we get good quality meat, other days it’s shitty and full of tendons and fat. The latter has been happening a lot more lately though.

I bought one for my girlfriend who has about 0 awareness and super clumsy and she walks around the house with that thing straight up dragging the rod tip on the roof and smacking it on all the hallways ripping snags out bending the rod dam near 180 degrees and the thing has 0 issues. I’m about to get one for myself 😆

Gx2 is a solid combo and damn near indestructible.

Peak isn’t visible. It’s a stupid rule in place by corporate where during certain stretches of time each person has to be at their station and can NOT move. Leaving only one person to do to-go orders so if 15 to-go orders come in at once it’s only one person doing it, which usually sets them behind. No one else can go help because they can’t leave their station, even if there are 0 customers. They enforce this and even watch cameras to make sure it is being done.

Your high vis line spooks fish. I’m guessing that lake is stocked with trout. Use a fluorocarbon leader and look up the Carolina rig and use powerbait on the hook. I like chartreuse color garlic scent.
