@mariannewest we do not lose many baits when the water is cool but once it gets hot, like now, the hooked baits are already stressed and I think that weakens them and we lose them. I am amazed that people find my life interesting, thank you, I take it for granted that everyone does not live as I do. I will post about a turtle the next time we get one. This is another reason I love steemit. On FB the local newspaper featured a couple who takes their two kids fishing and people were condemning them for teaching their kids to kill nature instead of loving it. One actually called their kids idiots for fishing and keeping the fish. On steemit you want to know how to clean a turtle, I love it. Steemit has real people, they are all fakes on FB. rant over, lol
