Tin

I'm not in favor of it in tourney's but it would sure work. If you are fishing on an smallmouth factory like Onidea or Erie and you are using a stickbait or drop-shot rig you must use a circle hook. If I'm using one of those two and fishing a smallie lake, as soon as you feel the fish it is usually to late and down too deep.

That is exactly what I was talking about, a quick warm-up like we had can really mess up the fish around here. So far though everything is weird in RI. Some lakes are in pre-spawn mode and some fish have not even moved out of their winter holes, while fish in other lakes are just beginning to stage. For the RI guys, saw beds on Johnson's Pond yesterday. But in places you would never expect beds to be. I'm talking dead, stagnant water in the back of a tiny tiny inlet. All the leaves were kicked out and there was a nice sand circle with a buck on it. The other ones I saw didn't have fish on them, but they were close by.

I will be forced to fish all the lakes within 15 miles of Coventry this summer. > One is 657 acres but $15 to launch, the other two are free and about 300 acres. I can't complain. But the drive to work and school are killing me.

Pitching is finally getting good, the offense is firing on all cylanders,except for Papi. He has the lowest average on the team by 100 points. Youk is on fire. 9-1 in their last 10, leading the division by 2 games. The Sox are heating up, until August anyway. What is up with the D-Backs? I'm shocked.

After looking at the forcast for the next week or so I would say maybe a little later. Even though the next few days will be warm, we will still be having some of those low 40 / upper 30's nights which can really mess things up. A couple warm rains would help though get the process going.

They look dumb, but for the price it is the lightest most sensitive rod you will ever use. Amazing is the only way to put it. Use one and you will have to stock up on them. Still have never heard of one person who regretting buying one. As for the people who are concerned with the strength and how they "break easily", they must have just gotten one bad rod like every other company makes once in a while.

I'll add one more to the Skinny Dipper club. shhhhhhhh.........The money shot colors are where it is at. I have heard of 3 more lakes where people ar seeing bedding fish in RI. Scattered but it is a start.

Whoare? Someone has been to Johnston, East Providence, or "up the hill".

I got on them big last year. One of the best features is how easily you can rip them through grass. I don't know what it is but they come through great.

Heard he was jailed for putting that Ortiz jersey in the Yanks new stadium.... :-/

They usually spawn up here in the low-mid 50's. Should be anytime now :-/ I would say rocky drops infront of 4-8 foot flats.

LMFAO!!! What did I tell you 2 months ago when I had my mohawk? But no....... until now lol.

I guess they really can drive. :

Might be longer on some lakes because the quick warm up screwed up a lot of fish and the next full moon is either the 3rd or 4th week of May. :-?

Where I fished today and yesterday there was 58-62 degree water and we loaded up the boat yesterday with lots of 12-14" bucks. Today when we were out I saw 2 freshly made nests that were not there yesterday. Its on 8-)

A PB&J football jig got it done on my lake today. 8-)

Thats only on Friday and Saturday nights.

That's inaccurate? Ever hear the Magic Bullet Theory? ;D This is making me want to watch JFK...

I don't know Bizzle, those teeth of Burley's look more like Basshunter69's. Maybe they're related? ;D

Come up here and ask for sauce or something. I know for a FACT at the KFC/Taco Bell chains up here that anything after 1 per item costs $.15. lol Pathetic. And I refuse to go through a drive through (except at Dunkin) because they ALWAYS screw it up. I just don't understand it. But don't badmouth the workers if they don't screw things up and are pleasant. Atleast they are working.

Alto, Tenor, and Baratone Sax. 8-)

No way man,....Tin hasn't been to work since you hit that fish,...He has been mumbling 3 words for 3 days..... ...................seven point eight,.....seven point eight.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D LOL, guess I shouldn't have told him where I caught it....ooops.... :-[ I'll let you win the largie division lol, I'm going for the smallies this weekend on the Haug 8-) Brent, your the man.

It's rough. Went through it last year. I know exactly what you mean when you say loosing a best friend or a family member. The worst part is when you come home and they don't come to the door to see you. Hang in there.

One time I put my cat in the microwave, bad idea.

ummmm. Wasn't this supposed to run until sunset on May 16th? Thats what it says in the rules anyway.... :-/
