IMO, I own the boat, the non boater is responsible for atleast 1/2 the cost. You have the boat payment, insurance, wear & tear, care, maitenance etc. Thats not including the gas, oil. I have had that happen to me before. I dropped a guy that tourney fished with me for this very reason. I let him slide once and he pulled the crap the second time. After that he wondered why I didnt want to fish with him anymore. If it was me and you really like fishing with the guy I'd express my concerns and let the chips fall where they be.

I'm curious too. Does it run or does it spin?

Typically I throw these three lures. LC 78-100 4" tube 3/8 oz finesse jig

Mike, I just emailed my filled out form to you and got a rejected email back. I'll be there Fri-Mon.

I dont do it often but when I do crappie fish I throw chart road runners. Thats about it.

I think the keys are often depth and focus. Sometimes the fish are concentrated shallow, deep or at a specific depth. The "focus", to keep this concept simple, is baitfish or bugs; swimming or crawling! As a specific example: At the Guntersville Roadtrip lipless cranks and spinnerbaits were hot, worms were not. On the trip last year at Pickwick both swimming baits and soft plastics worked, but soft plastics dominated. My suggestion is to start out with something rigged for every depth, top to bottom. One presentation will tend to dominate on any given day. 8-) Roadwarrior, Your explanation is alot better then my sarcastic truth one. Thats really how I do it. But I also follow what you said. I start with my strongest most confident lure then build upon that. My goal is to break the ice and get the skunk out of the boat before I start experimenting with other lures an locations different then the seasonal patterns. Certain times of year the jig will not work as well as the trap, jerkbait, etc. But most times it will work for me. Its also odd how it changes day to day. Even with identical weather patterns.

here is how I pick a lure. I look at water temp, time of year, past experience in this situation. Then I throw a jig. ;D If that doesnt work I start switching areas then lures.

I've always wondered if they just pressed them and used pressure instead of heat.

About the only luck I've had in the late summer was dragging tubes around the firecracker.

I'm in the works of planning the trip. I'm trying to figure out what week I want. Mid or late may. Hmm

1/4

That pretty much sums it up for me too. I might not even be 10% though.

I like it. 8-)

I hear ya. I'm ready to go. Get me outta here. I'm tired of the frigid cold and snow. >

Thanks Nick. I'm looking for non coffee scent in trailers.

Are all Rage Tail coffee scented? I looked on the site and couldnt tell.

any blacks or browns is what i would use.

very nice dude!

LOL, they say 3-6 inches of snow today/tonight.

thats sweet looking. Very nice job.

about 2.89-2.95 here.

I actually did some research after your post because I was intrigued by it. I dont think you jumped the gun but I think some the the writers did.

I'd say who ever is in the back of my boat. They always seem to catch more then me. I must be a good guide. ;D I also have to ask are we talking competitions or size? Huge strategy difference imo. Fish Chris has posted up some monsters and has talked about this before. Fourbizz has piles of big ones, and many more members.

Fixed it for ya. ;D Someones bob must have over heated.

Thats what I was thinking Cadman. I bet the slide in and out easier then the metal ones.
