Bass aren't picky. If it's moving and they can get to it, they'll eat it. They'll hit trout lures where there are no trout, lizards where there are no lizards, etc, etc, etc.

The same thing that caused those same groups of people to lose billions of dollars in the * rise and fall. The herd mentality is strong in humans and when one group is making tons of money other groups quickly follow until they overbuy and then it crashes. This will happen again in the next few years. It's not a matter of it, it's a matter of where.

Stupid

Should absolutely destroy the price. From what I've read the gov't is taking an almost 80% stake. That means the rest of the stock owners now only own 20%.

I'm talking full weed growth, ie nothing is coming through it, or moss covered areas. Swimming a jig through scattered weeds is good, but they don't work so well coming through a complete wall of vegetation or through the moss. I turn to weightless plastics to fish those areas. I try not to avoid any area that holds water as some of the nastiest places hold the best fish.

Flechero is right. Your mortgage note is the bank's asset (assuming that they are holding it and not just servicing it). So when they go bankrupt their assets get sold to cover as much of their liabilities as they can. So you're mortgage would be sold to a different bank and you'd get a notice of assignment of your mortgage with a new coupon book and your monthly payment would not change.

Where? Anywhere except heavy weed cover. Since you can't fish the jig vertically in the weeds, it's difficult to fish effectively. But, other than that jigs will work if that is what the fish are looking for at that time.

I would wager that the OP is talking about the skirted bass jig and not a plain jighead. A plain jighead and a pegged T-rig are basically the same. Neither of those are the same as a jig with a skirt and a trailer though.

I was thinking about rigging him up because those gills are what the bass were mainly feeding on there. The gills were moving around in the current feeding on whatever came down and the bass were slamming them all over (especially up against the walls).

That little guy surprised me too! I still can't believe I hooked him like that.

If you want the money from them then sell them on ebay or the flea market here. Taking advantage of the store's return policy for your personal gain is debatable AT BEST. And if you don't want to get flamed, don't do something that begs for it and you won't get it.

bet I surprised this little guy. ;D Saw my line twitch, set the hook, and fish on!!! Too bad it wasn't what I was looking for! Overall, the spinnerbait produced really well in this current. Nothing else on the jig, but caught 6 or 7 over 2 pounds in this overflow.

I used to only use t-rigs too. Then I learned how to fish a jig this year and have caught much larger fish on average. Now, I go to the jig first and then to the t-rig if they don't want the jig. The jig and the t-rig are completely different though. Even a t-rigged craw is different than a jig. If you like your t-rigged craws, then use those as jig trailers for a big bait to target the big fish.

Nope. Spinnerbaits and cranks are two completely separate baits with completely different action, profiles, etc. I went out yesterday and fished the creek inflow on one of my neighborhood ponds (we've gotten like 6 inches of rain so the water was flowing fast). In just over 2 hours of fishing, zero fish on a crankbait and about a dozen on a spinnerbait. Had a HUGE one swipe at the spinnerbait too. The crank wouldn't work right in the current and the spinnerbait was perfect.

Actually, the US adds refining capacity every year. This is typically done by adding on to existing refineries or modernizing the existing equipment to allow for more throughput. Refining capacity has increased from 16.74 million barrells a day 2002 to 17.45 million barrells a day in 2007.

They don't want to ship it long distances to refine it. Some of those refineries on the coast are connected to the pipelines that bring the crude in from the gulf. No shipping required. If they built one further inland they'd have to build a longer pipeline.

Gas futures are currently down 16.76 cents to 260.20. The wholesale market is all screwed up now due to the hurricane, but prices should start coming down because there doesn't appear to be significant damage to the refineries.

It's a WHOLE lot more than 3 or 4. Last I heard just over 20% of the nations refining capacity was shutting down.

X2, I use backing on every reel.

I use Trilene XL for my light spinning reel, Trilene XT for my soft plastics spinning reel, and Trilene Big Game on my baitcasters. Either that or braid.

2.74!! good lord, the cheapest we have is 3.48 Don't feel so bad. We're at 3.96.

Draw the line between farm raised fish for pet stores and a wild gamefish. Seems kind of arbitrary no? Would their be a difference if he bought a couple fingerlings from a hatchery?

Ike's shutting down the refineries.

Not that I disagree with your original points or anything, but how is it different to buy a 20 gal tank and pet store fish first. Wouldn't those fish go through the same issues and be "tortured to death"? As a caveat I don't know jack about aquariums so there may be a big difference that I don't know about. Hence my question.

I'm the only one that answers 5582. "4 greater" = 4 + and 4 + 2 = 6 I'm not sure where you guys are getting 5's ? 6682 Same as the previous response. "3 greater" = 3 + and 3+ 2 = 5. It doesn't say 3 times greater, just 3 greater.
