That's "extremely" common, in fact it's not uncommon for fishing to flip from Hot to Cold within the hour. Not catching bass does not mean that the bass are gone. In my opinion, not catching bass in a known hotspot usually means that changing conditions have made them less catchable in that location at that time. Roger

Price moves in trends, and trends tend to persist. All trends eventually reverse, but trend reversals are easier to identify than calling Tops & Bottoms. Cheap prices typically get cheaper, while high prices typically get higher (e.g. gold). Words like "High" & "Low" cannot be used without the benefit of hindsight. I don't think "Buying Down" is weird, but I do think it's dangerous. In my opinion, “Buying Down” is a form of denial, rather than admit he was wrong, the investor opts for another roll of the dice. The “Buy & Hold” approach has ran out of gas on many occasions. If you bought-down on the heels of the Great Depression, you’d have spent the next 20 years buying down. You’d either have run out of capital or died waiting. On September 16, 1929, the S&P-500 Index topped out at $31.90. It didn’t bottom out until June 14, 1949 when the S&P 500 closed at $13.60. The reward for holding steadfast through that 20-year holding period was a Net Loss of –57.4%. Going forward, the stock market didn’t reach breakeven until Sep 22, 1954, when it closed at $32, twenty five years later. That could never happen again? Well, it’s already happened again and the venue was Japan. On December 29, 1989 the Nikkei-225 closed at $38,916. Today, over 20 years later the Nikkei-225 closed at 10,450, down 73% from its 1989 level. By itself, 'Time' cannot substitute for poor timing, because 'Time' is a double-edge sword, it can heal the wound or intensify the wound. Ironically, the flaws in long-term investing are most conspicuous over the long term. Roger

I still haven't finished stocking up on your other jigs and you keep releasing new ones!!! How's a guy supposed to keep up?

I just don't understand why you felt that you had to defend your decision to turn him in on a public forum. You must have felt you were justified or you wouldn't have done it. What does it matter what other people think ?

Are we talking the worst owner the last couple of years, or the worst owner since he has owned the team. Al davis built a perennial contender in the 70s and 80s and then again in the early 2000s. Al davis might be one of the worst owners today, but not historically. Dan Snyder bought the skins in 1999 and brought forth his version of suckiness, so its been a long 12 years for skins fans. The Ford family on the other hand have owned the Lions for 45 years, and have 1 playoff victory to show for it. 1 playoff victory in 45 years. There can be no argument that the Ford family is by far the worst ownership in the NFL and probably all of pro sports.

The one tied to the end of my line...... I don't play favorites. It's all about confidence. If I don't believe it will catch a bass then I cut it off and tie something else on.

Duh, you shoulda had a V8.

Call shimano 877-577-0600 & ask them.

A gun is only as good as the person standing behind it… Jack O'Connor I would have to consider the price & availability of ammo for a 28 gauge, the popularity of the 16, 28, & 410 are making a comeback but for the most part ammo for these guns can be limited in some markets.

funny story about this. Me, my dad, and my grandpa went fishing for white bass in the maumee river. We were in a boat pulling in fish and another boat decided it would come over right across from us in the same spot. So my grandpa (mind you, my grandpa is one tough S.O.B and a no bull kinda guy) tells my dad to bring us over next to their boat, we get there and my grandpa picks up the cinder block we were using as an anchor and launched it into their boat. after a few words the guys left completely. I mean loaded thier boat and left. Moral of the story: dont fish in my grandpa's spot

I’ve have taken deer cleanly & humanely with a .410; a wounded deer is just a wounded with a .12 gauge as it is with a .410. Any gun is only as good as the person standing behind it, so if your son can bust 90 out of 100 birds from the 18 trap he shouldn’t have a problem with a deer standing still. Hell I’ve tracked wounded deer shot with a .300 Weatherby Magnum.

tell him you saw the light! You are now a vegan and a card carrying PETA member and think all fisherman are knuckle draggers. Suck up boy make the grade then tell him to kiss your In-Fisherman subscription carrying card carrying NRA arse.
