  3. Black Buzzbait works well for me at night. Fish it towards the shoreline where you would normally fish in the mornings for topwater action. The morning topwater action is just an extension of that nights topwater action.

  4. Not a fishing story but a night hunting story. I was running late trying to get to my stand. It was about 1/2 hour till the sun started peaking. I had a bunch of gear and was moving quickly. I took a step and something started thrashing. I lost my balance couldn't see squat and fell over backwards on to about 7 more animals thrashing around. Then I got hit so hard from behind I ended up drawing my side arm. Dazed and scared I got my composer and split. Finally got to my stand and started smelling crap. Had turkey crap all over me along with turkey feathers everywhere and a nice rip in my jacket. I got owned by a turkey. I ended up taking the largest muley I have ever taken that day. Walked right up to my stand at 20 feet down wind from me. Never even smelled me. Dad always said from now on smear turkey crap all over before you get to the stand.

  6. I'll go with a hunting story. Try climbing into your deer stand that is 20' off the ground, about an hour before daylight, sit down, it's completely silent, and pitch black, and wait for it........... a screech owl perched about 3' away from your head starts screaming!!!! Great time to have a safety harness on.

  7. I don't fish senkos as much as I used to. But, I was out of town for 5 odd weeks, and lost touch with my favorite big bass lake. So yesterday, I took nothing but a bag of senkos, and tried to figure out what was going on there. And indeed I did. I didn't catch too many (only half a dozen little ones), but I wasn't trying to catch dinks. I was trying to figure out what the *forage* was doing, I was bottom bumping weightless T-rigged senkos in 25+ feet of water btw, amongst other things. Just takes a little patience. There are probably easier ways to catch fish that are 25 feet down though...

  8. You should ask my wife about red hooks. Somehow on our honeymoon it seemed like every late night fishing show we watched had something about red hooks on it. She still brings that up.

  9. Well if nothing else you have really beautiful scenery to look at while you are getting skunked.

  10. Do you gullet hook many fish waiting that long? I'd sure think so. If you wait 5 to 10 seconds to set the hook, you will eventually kill some quality fish. I generally agree with Gary Yamamoto's theory. It only takes a small, short pop to set the hook with today's equipment. I've lost a few fish by not giving it some sort of hookset. I still use hard hooksets when Carolina rigging and frogging.

  11. Just about any knot tied correctly is going to work well. It is not my nature to over think and over analyze, I keep things as simple as possible. If any knot fails chances are it was tied poorly or it has been fatigued and needs to be retied. I cannot remember a bass of any size, whether it was in open water or slop, where my ordinary clinch failed. I keep the same knots on both my swivel and leaders for weeks without re tying. Jumping it up just a little bit, I catch a lot of saltwater fish, not to be condescending but those fish are bigger, stronger, faster and don't come in near as quick, yet the clinch or improved clinch does not fail.........I make sure I tie them right, it they aren't I tie it over until it is right. If the palomar is "your knot", no reason not to say with it. Quite honestly I don't see a 5 or 10# fish breaking any knot, tie it right and you won't have a problem. The key to whatever knot you are using is your drag, the drag takes a lot of stress off the the knot.

  13. There is little oxygen below the thermocline so don't go deeper than that. You can see it on your electronics.

  14. Every time I watch Jeremy Wade on "River Monsters" I realize that my fishing bucket list is getting longer... and less likely to fulfill. Now THAT guy has a great job...

  15. LOL, LOL,...... we would spend 6 digits on the project.... The husband store A store that sells new husbands has opened in Seattle, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates: 1. You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! 2. There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. 3. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor. 4. You cannot go back down except to exit the building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs. She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor. Floor 2 - The sign says these men have Jobs and Love Kids. 'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.' So she continues upward. Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking. 'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework. 'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!' Still, she goes to the fifth floor. Floor 5 - The sign says that these men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak. She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor. Floor 6 - The sign says you are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. PLEASE NOTE: To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner open ed a New Wives store just across the street. The first floor has wives that love sex. The second floor has wives that love sex, have money, and like beer. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited. Go figure.....
