Well, haven't been on here much so a quick run down..... MOTHER NATURE SUCKS, WORK SUCKS!!! Someday I may get to fish... If you guys are catching them Great! Catch a few for me!

Hopefully this d**n snow misses us here. Now that the boy isn't playing travel baseball I'll actually have time to fish for the first time in a few years... Time to get my gear cleaned up and tuned up. Good Luck to all.

I've already tried that. I don't show any listings for a GB-1. I can find any other style but that particular one. Thanks though.

Hi Guys, Well hopefully one of you all can help me find a GB-1 gimbal bracket. I've looked all over e-bay and anywhere else I can think of and cannot find this bracket anywhere. I need to replace the one on my little pond hoppper boat since it got busted during the last storms we had here. If anyone can help me out that would be great!!! Thanks, Tom

Well, It's been awhile since I've posted here with work and just life in general... But we managed to get out on Saturday and stuck a few 25 to be exact. No big pigs yet. Man it was nice to be on the water!

Holy crap I've missed a lot on this thread since I started it. Definetly have to find time to keep up with it.

Stock mount is what I'm after. I don't need a whole unit. I've got 2 now just missing a mount for one. Thanks guys.

I'm pulling my hair out here trying to find a mount for a Lowarance X55A. Anyone have a number for it? Because I sure can't find one. Thanks, Tom

JT- Lakeland and the cons. area can be some tough fishing. I haven't fished Lakeland in about 4 or 5 years. Last time I did we caught a bunch of short fish. As the cons. area goes I've been there 2 times this year and the biggest was probably around 3. I bought a camper out at the Giant Goose Ranch so I've been fishing and learning those waters (when I get time from working on my add on and when my son doesn't have baseball). It's a really nice place to fish.

Well, at least ya'll are catching fish... Been out a few times but due to my sons travel baseball schedule and practice I haven't been on the water much and I'm afraid that won't change until the middle of July......

Whatever the vanilla stuff is that mama buys. May be bugginz or something else, I'll ask when she gets home. Oh and .GHOTI. dig the headline above your pic. I'm gonna say nope.......

And speaking of some nice musky water in my neck of the woods, check out Double T outside of Canton, Canton Lake, and also Shovel Lake at Banner Marsh

If your gonna add Zatarain's as a side, It has to be their dirty rice!

boostr, The 7-up gives the fish a sweet taste and kills some of the fishy flavor. Started doing this because my kids weren't big on eating fish because of the "fishy" taste. Now it's just a habit

I fry all my fish doesn't matter what I catch and keep. 1st Fillet said fish out 2nd Soak in 7-up overnight 3rd Mix Andy's Red and Hamm's fish batter 1/2 and 1/2 ( or whatever batter you prefer to use) Finally throw them bad boys in the fryer and enjoy !

Does Canton High School enter this tournament? If not I will get you the email address for the AD

Simple enough my first name and last initial. I'm not creative and like to keep things simple.

I like the 3 smokes that I have and plan on picking up another one soon. Can't say I've had a problem with any of mine. I also have a bunch of older Q's that I can still break out and use. Proper maintenance is all it takes to have a reel last forever.

Currently, sitting here looking at BR and restringing my ice fishing poles for a tournament tomorrow

Right now, About 5 ft., I'll pitch and flip into my aquarium In all reality I'd stop as soon as I found soft water....................

Well, I took this test twice and it put me in Little Rock, AR., Jackson, MS., and Columbus, GA. . Not sure if that's a good thing considering I was born, raised, and still live in central IL.

I actually do use the hot sauce oil and grease, before it came out I used Berkley oil and grease. I think I may try the ardent at some time though just to see if I can tell any real difference.

Well, I suppose I should post considering I think of myself as a Quantum aficionado. I currently own a whole dang bunch of them. Some old like the 3:8.1 cranking reel and what not to my new found loves the Smoke series. A reel is only as good as the person behind it. Proper maintenance and it will last for ever. Heck I've got some of the 20 dollar Quantums from when I was a kid that I still would take out and fish with. I may be in the minority here, but, I've never had a problem with any of mine...............

So we took a stroll on to the ice yesterday. Solid 7 inches............... Great............ On the other hand the old lady and boy both caught their first fish through the ice.

A new Quantum Smoke, yes I said Quantum, in 5:3.1, Some misc. tackle and time spent ice fishing with the family
