Always great to see new members join!!!! Hello and welcome!

WOW!! I just checked out *** and I'm extremely impressed!! Can't wait to order something... Do you fish the crawfish slow? fast? Or just try a mix of everything?

Hey everyone, Stopped by a tackle shop before work this morning and saw a package of crawfish. I asked the guy there how they are fished and he wasn't sure, he said he would never use them? My question is, has anyone here used them??? if so how do you fish them??? They had large ones and small ones like the size of a cricket. PS. I was going to pick up my first package of Senkos and they were 7.99-8.99 Is there a cheaper place online or should I try a place like Dicks Sporting goods? I heard they are great, but didn't want to drop 9 bucks on them yet without trying them first.

Welcome to the forums!! Beware though.....This place is highly addicting!

Yeah somewhere around there.... 6-8lbs.....A guy who attended our cook out said about 8lbs....I say near 7lbs....Either way, it was a great fish. And yes, the mouth was huge.... I had 2 hands holding that bottom lip to make sure I didn't let it drop cause she was still fighting!! More good news, my wife got excited over the catch and may be starting soon as well 8-) Stuff like this reminds me why I continue to love this sport. I've only been doing this for 2-3 months, and I got years of fishing memories ahead. Just wait till I get on a boat

Hey everyone!!! I just got home from South Hill, VA and I couldn't wait to get on here and share this with you all! FIRST - Let me apologize for the pictures. It was 730pm on a farm, with no light anymore. Of course, no digital camera was around, just my cell phone. But the pictures are my proof While fishing on 'my' private pond on the farm for a couple hours I caught some dinks here and there. It was slower than usual. I had a friends daughter out there with me teaching her how to fish I wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing. Around 730pm, it was really dark and I was about to head in since I couldn't see much. Then I see my wife and her friend walking down to the pond, and my wife asks me if I can show her how to cast. So I give a sigh, and agree. Her first cast lands in the mud......Second cast actually wasn't bad. So she asks 'what now?' and I start showing her to how reel it in.....She starts reeling for about 4 seconds and my Calcutta lizard (green and pumpkin) is about 10 feet from the edge of the pond when................. SPLASH!!!!!!!! It sounded like someone thru a rock into the pond....I see the rod arch over, and the line flying off the reel.....I tell my wife to quickly hand me the pole, and I take it, and fight for a good three minutes.....The fish just never got tired....I let it run, jump, flip, you name it....So I finally got it up close and my father in law reached in and grabbed it......Wow she was big... The first PB I caught in there before was smaller than this... My guess is a little over 6 pounds, my father in law said 7 or maybe over...... I know it kinda hard to tell by the pics but she was huge. In the picture with me holding it, I got the fish right up against my body, I'm not holding it out. It's amazing my wife landed her just playing around. Now she argues she caught it, while I'm trying to remain civil and agree on the fact we BOTH caught it. Either way, an amazing Saturday night.... PS..........It was released...I got nervous cause we had her out for about a minute trying to get the hook out, then try the photos.....I put her in the water and she just sat there for 3-4 seconds, then finally swam away.

Sorry to hear that....It's terrible seeing stuff like that. I guess thats another great thing I've learned from fishing, is to appreciate nature and protect it it. :'(

What happened to all the water!!!????

Here is my sweet spot on my father in laws farm in South Hill Va....This is the pond from his back porch.... The pond goes on to the left about another 70 yards. My brother in law teaching his son how to cast I'm going to get some more pictures for you guys this weekend, and hopefully some fish pictures as well. I can't wait for Saturday.....You can easily catch 30 fish an hour. And my 6-7 PB is floating around in there too!!

I agree!!! Out of all the Sam Adams, Octoberfest is my favorite. I also enjoy their honey and cherry as well..........Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hey Memphis, in terms of wind direction, should I be casting away from, or into the wind? And to the original question, I've found I get a couple bites in the sun, but a lot more bites in the shady spots.

It'll happen, just don't expect every bite will be the one. Just enjoy the outdoors, enjoy catching the dinks and couple pounders, sooner or later it will happen. I caught mine which was around 7 pounds (big to me) by going to the pond and killing 20 minutes before the sun went all the way down. It was actually my last cast, I had a plastic worm t-rigged and I was fishing it like a jig, then bam!!! It'll happen soon, in the meantime just enjoy what you can. 8-)

Yeah it sounds like it :-/ I have a large pond near my house as well, and haven't caught anything except a turtle. I then tried fishing for catfish and nothing as well. I usually goto a pond/canal/lake whatever right before sundown when the bugs are hitting the surface and most of the time you will see the fish feeding on them, and/or jumping out of the water every now and then. It works for me.

I would check out the Chevy Colorados/GMC Canyon/Isuzu models For a 4 cylinder I get 190 horsepower, plus I love my truck Try checking those out as well

Where I'm at it takes YEARS.....I mean years to do a road project. I guess its because everytime I drive by there is 6 people standing in a circle around the one guy actually doing something ;D

I had something similar happen not too long ago. I got a bass hooked on the bottom lip and there was some blood dripping involved. I release him, and 4 mins later I catch him again with a couple drops still coming from the hole in the bottom lip.

Yeah I usually run in the morning, and goto the gym after work and do weights then cardio. One day a week I do heavy weights, but most of the time, I do lighter weights with lots of reps to tone up the fat in the arms, stomach, and legs. I eat 6 times a day, but I'm going to change that up a bit as to what foods I'm eating. My main problem is too many carbs later in the day. Instead of eating my carbs in the morning and lunch time, I'm eating them for dinner and a after dinner snack. It's been fairly easy for me so far. I allow myself a treat every 2-3 weeks, it allows me to stay strict the rest of the time. And my treats really aren't that bad. I'll get a couple scoops of ice cream from somewhere, or allow myself a small piece of chocolate cake, stuff like that. Fast food is out of the questions, unless its chili from Wendys

Cute dogs John J. I lost my dalmation "Butch" a couple years ago, and it hurt....bad. I had him for 11 years, but old age got the best of him. Everytime I see a dalmation I get depressed...... :'(

Hey good luck and I wish you the best!! I quit smoking a year ago. The best thing that helped me beat it, was the fact that after the first week, it was all mental. All compulsions, habits, that made me want to continue. I didn't enjoy it, the taste was horrible, it gave me head aches, smelled bad, and was decreasing my life. I've only got one life, one body, might as well be able to use it long as I can. Sounds corny, but positive thinking works better than gums, patches and etc. for myselfanyway. But do whatever you helps you. And good luck to you again.

Heres my little rat dog Sassy. She is half Yorkie and miniature pincher. She weights a whole 4 lbs, but shes our baby till we actually have a baby

Thanks for the advice. Just bought a jump rope to change up the cardio a little. Going to try a couple things with the diet as well!!

Probably something like "stilldontlikeyou"s avatar. ;D ;D good stuff

;D Good replies....Nah shes cool with my fishing, and she said she may even try fishing herself, but she was wondering how much pain the fish are in. She works at a vet and is a huge animal lover, so she gets concerned over all types of animals. Hell, I feel horrible gut hooking a fish myself. Either way, my fish addiction is growing!

Just checking to see if any other members are currently changing their bad habits or have been able to get healthy. I started my lifestyle change about 4 months ago and have lost over 40 lbs. I was 240, and I'm now down to 198. But haven't lost any weight in about 3 weeks now, so I'm stuck :-/ Just seeing if anyone else has any good advice on what to do now??? I'm also open to questions if anyone needs help as well. Heres an older picture of my results....
