'08 Goals: 5 smallies for 15 pounds, And an 8 pound largemouth Life: 5 Smallies for 20 pounds 5 Largies for 30 pounds Smallie: 7 pounds

You said light tackle, what exactly? Techniques and baits. Also as said before stay away from the Triumph's. They are . An All-Star is a much better choice.

People just like to jump the gun without having all the facts to make themselves smarter than others. See it all the time at work, lol. HBA great job in keeping your cool in all this, I know I wouldn't be able to. 8-) Matt Fly-Wow, thats all I can say, lmao ;D

I wasn't around when the prediction thread was made but at the beginning of this year all I wanted to do was break 5 fish for 25 pounds. I did it in 3 hours (4-7pm) in July in a real high pressured lake that I thought it would never happen in. I caught 14 fish between 4-6 pounds with a few over six and countless fish under 4 pounds. I was fishing a 30 yard stretch of 6 docks with a coontail line about 20 feet off the edge of them Another big accomplishment for me this year that I never expected was the amount of quality fish I caught. From April until mid November I was able to boat 42 Largemouth over the 4 pound mark. Most of which came on a hula grub, jig, or rat-l-trap. It was definatley my best year ever. I can't wait to get going this year though.

Own one, love it, buying another. It appears to be the same rod, I didnt think e21 made a spinning with a ModFast action, could be a typo.

Made in China, operations place is in Ontario.

"Why are parts so hard to find? So you say "_____ it" and go out and buy a new reel. :

No need to use weapons, just bump draft

It is a 14' so it should be able to handle more weight in the back. But if you do decide to put it up front strap in down.

How about people doing 40 in a 65 and the minimum is 55? Came across a few people doing that today. Get off the highway!

;D Lol, then they post on BR how Abu's are junk.

Usually I go with Zoom, Yum, or Venom. I like 1/8 oz. venom heads too. But I recently bought Mark Zona's tube heads with rattles at BPS and I'am real impressed with them. Like Zoom Natural Shell or Alabama Craw, along with the usuall Watermelon copper and green pumpkin.

Cranks, Jerks, and Topwater, 10 lbs fluro Spinnerbaits, depending on clarity and cover, 15 fluoro or 20 pound braid Texas rig/Jig depending on clarity 15 pound fluoro or 30 lbs. braid Finesse fishing/spinning rods, 6 or 8 pound fluoro

Thanks

Thanks Bizz, they make Osprey's in smaller 4 or 5 inch models for New England bass?

That is bad a$% dude.

Nope only the jig. Either I pitch over the limbs and give let the jig fall, or I stop it when it goes over and just let it sit on top of the water and dangle it around. It usually does a circle motion that the fish haven't ever seen so they just come over and suck it under or you get an aggresive topwater type strike.

I call it my Airborne Fish Technique. It is great in postspawn or high water on one of the lakes I fish regularly. I usually go with heavy braid and pick and choose the limbs I do it over. When the fish hits I drill it as hard as I can to either brake the branch or limb by the braid cutting through it, or so the fish comes over the limb.

I have read the review on TackleTour but has anyone used them? Just wondering if the smaller ( 4 and 5 inch models) roll or if they don't run right true out of the box. Also how easy do they tear? Is mend it a good idea? Thanks

I think we saw some of Cornelius Corelioni's crew in that corner booth of the restuarant yesterday. LOL. Wicked funny LBH, there are a couple more of those type of videos on youtube with Rudolph and his posse.

I have a Ranger, 4.0 which is probably the same thing as your Explorer. I had the same problem, opened the hood and figured it was my intake. And of course, with the cold weather the mice got intot he airbox and had started making a nest, thus clogging up my intake. Cleaned it out and now runs fine. Also depending on what year yours is the MAF cannot be cleaned so, just check out your intake system. Could be the issue, but keep an eye on your temp guage just incase it isnt.
