Win over 10k in tournies and break 8-10.

They are not spawning yet. Is he watching them around rocky areas? Has there been a recent spike in h2o temps?

One thing I will say is I think Calc 1 was the hardest Calc out of 1,2, and 3. What were the topics matter? I think Rootbeer and Dan know that stuff real well.

The worst part is, that place is has a better selection than the BPS in Foxboro, imo.

I wonder what kind of warranty it will have, lol.

That's my main issue, her sister looks a lot better than her.

They knock out Nova and my South Region bracket looks great. I have Baylor beating Nova and Duke, and getting to the Final Four. The probability of that some how happening would go way up.

What's a bibliography?

For the first time in my life I'm hoping Robert Morris wins, lol.

My spring break just started. 8-)

Not to mention the tens of millions spent in advertising on TV and the radio.

It doesn't feel that way. X2

I had a close call of loosing about 8, lol. I was running short on time and had a long way to go back to the ramp. I put the rod down and strapped them all down. I had so many on the deck because I was just out junk-fishing looking for whatever I could get. So the rods are strapped down and I'm buzzing back at about 60 giving my non-boater a hell ride. I was doing just fine when I hit a big wave going a little to fast. Needless to say the boat was at about an 80 degree angle with the water and all we could see was sky. Followed by the opening of the rod locker because I forgot to lock it. Thus causing the Velcro to come undone and sending rods falling down onto my non-boater. Some how he caught all of them. :-[

Lots of studies have recently been done on depression and the rise in mental health issues since the countries financial collapse. Would make an easy paper.

I didn't see this and created one on ESPN.com. It is also Bassresource and bassresource, lol.

I should rephrase that, he makes top 50 cuts, but not the final day. I want to say he finished around 20th on the Potomac which is tidal, and around 20th on the Mississippi River T last year. So I guess he does well compared to most but not well for him.

It is interesting, KVD just cannot seem to do well in a flipping T on tidal water.

Ok first off, if it is big baits, listen to the Bizzle. I don't throw "big baits" but I started throwing baits last year that imitated fish instead of craws and saw my average fish really go up. I used to live by the jig, flipping beavers and brush hogs, and also tubes. So I threw primarily crawfish imitating baits and I had a very good average for RI, from lake to lake I was around 1.75 to 2 pounds and could bang out atleast 15-20 fish an outing. Last year I started throwing more baitfish imitations just simple things like 5" paddle tails (I know Biz, they're gay), Matt Lures Sunfish and Perch. and big crankbaits/jerkbaits. I saw those 1.75 to 2 pound fish turn into a 2.5 to 2.75 pound average and I could generally get atleast 10 an outing when fishing strictly this way. I caught about 30 fish over 4 pounds this way last year and I only caught about 45 over 4 last year all together(and I fish very high pressured bodies of water). So I would say just by switching the style of bait you can see bigger fish. Not huge, but much better quality fish. I would say build your way up, see if changing to minnow or crawfish imitations makes a difference and then go from there. I know I could never fish a swimbait over 7" because I just don't have the confidence and can't take the frustration. Know your limits and don't burn yourself out over trying for that one big bite if you loose the enjoyment of it. (my 2 pb's over 8 both came on jigs though) :

So you know you are causing an issue but continue to and won't stop? Well I guess this goes along with the rest of what you are saying. LOL And you don't need studies, charts, or other references? Well seeing as though we are having a discussion not based of any evidence, I will say that fishing during the spawn helps fisheries, just because it does.

Why isn't hunting and fishing the same thing as far as being a sportsman. The DNR makes the rules and I follow them. If they say it's ok to keep some fish, then I will do it. I release most but not all. I still say, if you're concerened for the fish, then don't catch them. First of all, when you shoot anything it becomes dead most of the time now, that can be a moral issue. I am not saying it is, just it can be. Catching a fish will probably stress the hell out of it, but she will still live. Hunting = dead animals. Fishing = good chance to stay alive a small, temporary piercing with stress involved. So I don't think they are the same.

All the Cape stuff is open from what I hear and has been for almost a month. I'm sure Webster is open by now as well after all the rain.

Look up "drop-shot like its hot".

Cool, any pics?

Amos, Beach, Candlewood, Glasgo, Pachaug, Twin....Lots of great areas. I love the CT River around and north of Hartford.
