VA I am also a big fan of the stealth canoe approach - I put a minnkota 55 on an Old Towne Predator square back 15'3''. I love it. I have a Hummingbird gps/sonar on it - I think it's the 636 model I put the battery in a Minnkota battery box that comes equipt with 2 12 volt accessory inputs - I use one for the hummingbird and one for a spot light for night operations I can PM you some more info / photo's if you'd like . . . .

"Got to love it when the swim off hard on release" Yes - miked62 - it's the BEST ! As a boy I fished with both my Dad and His Dad - and they both always got such a kick out of watching their catch swim off - - that started over forty-five years ago for me - and it never gets old. I have really grow to enjoy this aspect of fishing. I'll admit I used to simply "Toss" the under sized fish back without much regard for their survival - but somewhere along the line I figured it out - - besides, I bet the fish feels it's pretty important - A-Jay

So I heard - Hope you beat'em up ! Guess you know where I'll be ? 8-) A-Jay

I took a 16" smb first from the same spot - 10 minutes later I was being towed around the lake by that U-boat of a bass. She put up a spirited fight but the 54 degree water temps were a factor. If she was a little warmer I bet I would have been treated to a series "air show" A-Jay

Got back after sunset from my first trip on a "new" Lake near home - It turned out to be quite an afternoon - bagged my Personal best SMB ! I was alone so I went with the "net" photo - At just over 21" she was a TOAD ! She recovered quickly from her photo op - and splashed my face for good measure as she swam off . . . . . . Looks like it's gonna be a good Year ! A-Jay

Heading out to the lake in an hour - report to follow . . . A-Jay

Way to go - you've got it right - Looks like you had a fantastic day and you even caught some fish as well . . . . . A-Jay

You Sir - are a Lucky man indeed. Congratulations. A-Jay

So how is this "Legal" ? ? ? Can't have a weigh in with "Catch and Immediate Release" A-Jay

Just got back - No mid-day bite - I hope I can get on some decent fish soon . . . . I'm tired of being Will someone Please get this thing out of my boat ! ! ! A-Jay

Hey misfit1III8 - great to see you on the board. I'll be on the like today with my better half - I'll call you tonight. See Ya A-Jay (Drew) btw - Those are some unusual looking bass

Good Question - where in the event and who is sponsoring it ?? A-Jay

I really enjoyed that - what a very special day for Paul and he sure earned it ! A-Jay

Thank you very much for the replies - so many "new" baits end up as pure Gimicks - the price is a bit wacky as well - almost $12 ? ? Thanks again A-Jay

"Last night I spent nearly 2 hours in my favorate hole. Unfortunately I must have gotten a little distracted because as I was finishing up I spilled a big load of Hawg Scent all over the seat . . . . " I guess it could be - Both . . . . . 8-) A-Jay

Does the lack of responses mean there is not much of a fan base for this Flex Arm Spinnerbait ? A-Jay

Fred Arbogast's Mudbug Heddon Lures Hellbender The Original Lazy Ike And last but not least The Mann's Agitator Buzzbait . . . . All Oldies but still can make it happen. . . . . BTW Uncle Josh still make the 5 inch Pork and striped bass seem to like it . . . . especially the red A-Jay

Good Morning - Does anyone have any experiance (good or bad) with this bait. The flexible arm looks like it might come through the cabbage fairly well but I don't know if I like that wire weed guard . . . . . I've not found them locally so I would really appreciate any and all input . . . . Thanks in advance A-Jay http://www.yakimabait.com/catalog/product.php?detalied=Y&productid=16209&page=1

Yes Sir - that's the Idea -

OK ~ I get it . . . . So it's like a Secret Code . . . . I'm not a very good flycaster so in the interest of safety and self-preservation I was thinking about the one pictured below - btw - that's not me A-Jay

Good one ! I thought a silly hat was Required . . . . A-Jay

paragon - Thanks for sharing in my misery - I have not yet been able to fish the way I want and need to actually say I gave it a good effort. . . . . . I'm always Blow'in all over the place ! Today (Sunday) looks a little better - I might get out for a bit this afternoon - - For a change in scenery, I have an uncle who is a Flyfishing guide (for like 50 years) on the Au Sable and Manistee rivers - I might have to go over to the dark side next week Stay Safe A-Jay

So are we gonna have mini-hurricanes every weekend or WHAT ? ? ? > A-Jay
