Hi gang, I'm doing pretty decent in this years bfl coangler standings, and I would love to get out on the water before the next tourney to sharpen my skills. If anyone has an open seat in the coming days/week (minus Saturday), I would love to tag along. I'm an easy going, consciences coangler that won't be annoying and I will chip in for gas. Hit me up via pm, email, or call 321-297-5258 if you don't mind me tagging along. Thanks, Aaron

I weighed in a fish that had died, and it seemed to weigh less than I expected, compared to when I caught it. Perhaps it loses water weight? If this happens, how much weight does a fish typically lose if it dies?

what should I be using...? I doubt my 4/0 EWG offset worm hooks are the ticket...they seem too big?

I get ticked and stew about it for a long time... I am still not over fish I have lost over 2 years ago....

where is the world was the coangler as he was stuffing fish? Must have been REALLY sneaky... This is why I would never enter a $ tourney without random coangler draws or marhsalls. I would wager some form of cheating takes place in any "team" tourney, or tourney without random draws, by at least 1 boat. I am not a very trusting person... I will at least stick to tourney where there is a chance a co-angler or marshall would blow the whistle on fraud.

I love my Basspro Pro-Qualifier combos for $189 or so... Edwin Evers uses them. They got great features for the price- Not sure what the reel is by itself, but probably not a lot.

I got a pile of worms that have either had their tails ripped or noses ripped. Seems like a waste to throw away all these worms. Is there a way to melt these down and put them in a mold to make more? Is there a way to make my own molds, or do I have to buy molds? thanks!

might be just that the frog I am throwing is too light to pull the braid out...

Yeah- I just haven't found the sweet spot. If I loosen things up too much, it overspins and catches. If I tighten down it just doesn't get out there that far. How far are you guys casting it? Maybe my expectations on distance is too high because I am comparing it to flouro distance?

I have a decent reel- Bass Pro Pro Qualifier and can cast stuff a country mile with Flourocarbon on it. However, I have trie throwing a Toad or Rage Shad with both 50 Suffix Braid and 65 pound Spider Wire, and I just can't get the distance I am looking for. It seems like there is just too much friction coming out of the spool, through the guides, and the line catches air drag with the slightest breeze. Any pointers on a better casting braid? or how to get my dang frog out there further...?

Thanks all...just to make sure, these lures you suggest will wobble and flash at a slow roll????

I am looking for a crank bait or jerkbait that keeps a decent roll or wobble when worked at just a slow crawl... I want a wobble to be on the tight/subtle side. I also want it to hang out in the 8-12 ft. range. Any suggestions on a type of bait that would fit these requirements?? thanks

I have 2 Extreme combos and love them! Really the best bet for money that I have seen. However, for just $30 (think $189) I wanted to upgrade to a pro-qualifier combo, and boy is the PQ really nice. Took me a while to figure out why the PQ was not casting that great, then realized it had those centrifugal pegs unlocked. I locked those down, and boy does it cast a smooth country mile. I think either of the BPS combos give some of the best bang for the buck...

I'm just stoked that Diretv now has Versus back so I can watch the best fishing show on TV: City Limits!

"soft or hard???" - That's what she said.... ;D
