I think this old advice rod needs to be updated. Here's my take on when to splurge for a high end rod and when to save some money on entry level ones.

You cannot live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. ~ John Wooden

In Queens, he's called an angel. Around the world, he's being hailed as a hero.

Bus driver Jorge Muñoz has selflessly been serving free meals to thousands of hungry strangers for years.

Muñoz, 45, has become a regular fixture beneath the elevated No. 7 line in Jackson Heights, where - each night for more than four years - he has doled out hot food from a mobile food pantry.

"My mother said we'd have a better future here," said Muñoz, who emigrated from Columbia in 1981 and later became a U.S. citizen. "Now I want to make sure others are fed so they can have futures."

Muñoz's home has turned into a makeshift food pantry: His living room is filled with cartons of milk and boxes of graham crackers. His basement is overflowing with food.

Each weekday, he rises at 5 a.m. and spends his mornings as a bus driver ferrying children to school.

By the afternoon, he is in his Woodhaven home slaving over the stove with his mother and sister before they pack the food into cartons and dish up at least 125 dinners each night.

And his generosity seemingly knows no bounds: He also has housed and fed a homeless man he met at church for the past two months.

"You just have to share whatever you can," said Muñoz, who spends about $150 a week of his own money on supplies and relies on donations and food handouts for the rest.

"It's a mission that I am on. God helps me on this mission."

Muñoz has been short-listed as one of 10 heroes around the world, from a pool of more than 9,000 names.

The finalists, who win $25,000 each, will be profiled on TV and online.

Muñoz says he will use his $25,000 winnings to pay his credit card bills and help pay off the Toyota Tacoma truck he uses to deliver food.

And if he wins the $100,000 prize for Hero of the Year?

"If I won it would be great because I'd have a budget to help people for at least two years," he said.

Hello Lake Worth anglers!!!

We’re kicking off the 2025 Workingmans Tournaments on Wednesday April 2nd, 2025. Mark your calendars now!! More details to come as we get closer so check back here or our Facebook page Lake Worth Workingmans. Hope to see you there!

Selling off the last of my collection.

1) The 1971 Les Paul custom "black beauty" I bought around 1977. It had a small neck repair, (shown in picture #6) in 1979 by Rene Castillo from Charlies guitars> if you know or knew who Rene was, you know he was the man in all things guitar. It has never been an issue. Guitar has always played straight and no problems with the repair. At that time I made the unwise decision to have him also replace the bridge pickup with a DiMarzio. We also replaced the bridge with the one shown. I had him install new tuners as well, but we did NOT screw them in. Rene said if they are tightened down they wouldn't slip, and by golly he was right. They've been on since then and worked flawlessly. I still have the original tailpiece and tuners. I do NOT have the original pickup. Comes with the original hardshell Gibson case with purple lining. $3900.00

2) The second guitar is a shredder Ibanez Jem77P and I believe it's a 2023 model. Pristine, all original, and with an excellent factory Ibanez hardshell case. $1100.00

No trades please.

Hello all,

My wife and I are new to river fishing. We are searching for catfish. But are unsure when are the best times and ways to catfish at the rivers. Is it better when the dam gates are open and it's flowing well or is it better when it's lower and flowing more slowly? We usually like to use cut bait or shrimp. Any ideas or info would be greatly appreciated. We usually fish lakes but we have been trying our luck bank fishing rivers. Thanks for reading!

anyone have a photo of how they like rigging rattles on their rigs....or opinions on equipment and or good brands

Hit Denton Creek this morning walked a good ways back in - not quite to the Hole though. Caught 14, 2 were little dink males the others were 11-14", biggest was around 15, was kinda sporadic. LOTS of people even way back in there, more than I have ever seen in the 10+ years of fishing there. 1/8 oz 2.25" pearl/white paddle tail and they were running the banks on both sides.
One of the females seems to have spawned out, her belly was pretty loose and soft - seemed empty - but I didn't see any fry yet. Neither of the males were milking but they may have been too young (about 6" ea). Water seemed really warm and was lightly stained.

Nice shape, updated to latest software, just picked this up to trying something in my setup, but not going to work for what I wanted to use it for.

Head Unit, Gimble/Knobs only, no cover unfortunately - but they are pretty cheap to pickup, or can go with neoprene style, etc...

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. - Deuteronomy 33:27 (NIV)

After many years as a stay-at-home mom, I was preparing for an interview. I was anxious, not feeling certain that the Lord wanted me to work outside the home. Just before I left for the interview, the mail arrived. There was an envelope postmarked from the United States. “Embraced by his grace” was written in the corner of the envelope. My heart jumped. It felt like the Lord was saying it directly to me: “You are embraced by my grace.”

I opened the envelope and inside were some stickers I had ordered a long time ago. The sender’s business card had 2 Corinthians 12:9, my baptism verse, printed on it: “My grace is sufficient for you.” Her tagline was “Grace: where our weakness meets God’s strength.” She had also included a free sticker that said, “Follow God’s heart.”

In these messages, I felt God whispering to me: “I embrace you. My grace is still enough for you. My power is made perfect in weakness. Follow my heart.” I went to the interview knowing I walked with God, whatever the outcome. As today’s quoted scripture reminds us, “Underneath are the everlasting arms,” and they are arms of grace.

Today's Prayer
Loving God, may we always know that we are embraced by your grace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
