I dont know. I dont make the rules. Any actual fishing advice?

Blue Flake!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like Red Shad and Black Grape. All solid colors.

Can you pm me the name, please????? Thanks!

Pay cash!!! I was having the same dilemma with buying a truck not too long ago. I have an old Nitro that needs some fixing, but I need to buy a truck to pull it first. Seeing as you are a college student, I cant imagine you have much credit, if any at all, and if you do, well, youre still a college student. My point is, save your money and pay in cash. If you cant afford it, then dont buy it and fish as a non-boater in your club (like I do). Consider this also: if you do buy it, and you have a serious mechanical problem (say a $500 fix) willyou have the money to fix it? if not, then you have our answer.

Anyone?

Hey all! Does anyonehere use the Zoom Ultravibe worm? I'm curious as to its pitching/flipping abilities. I'm sure its designed for swimming, but in what other appications have you had success with it?

I THINK (and I'm no expert) that muddy-water fish are more cover related than depth related. I know dirty water causes fish to relate to cover, but I'm not sure what a cold front would do. These guys are fishing like you would track a bleeding deer: if you have to leave it overnight, go to the last place that you found blood and start there. These giys are starting where they last found fish, and if they dont find them there, they will start looking closeby.

Remember, you can only trade in ONE reel toward the purchase of another reel. You cant trade in three reels for, say, $60 bucks off of another one. One reel for one reel. I ave an old trout reel that doesn't see any use anymore. I'm trading it in for one of the new Carbonlights. My girlfriend is coming with me. Somehow, she got hold of another old reel of mine and SHE is trading it in for another Carbonlite.....

I really want to see Abu Garcia come out with a Revo Premier in 5.4:1. I know they have the Winch, but I want a Lightweight option. Any others feel the same?

Pick up some of the Megastrike Evolution shakey heads. They have a fulcrum design and ALWAYS stand strait up.

Good reel choices. However, I think you should look at Powell rods their Max series runs between $140 and $170 bucks, and are backed by a lifetime warranty. They are super light weight, extremely sensitive, and are, IMHO, the best rods available. I encourage you to research them, read reviews. If you find something negative about them, you're the first!

Let me know if you want company!

Hey, I know where you are! Ilive in Telford, about 35 minutes up 476 (traffic factored in, of course). I fish a pond around Nockamixon near the Marina on the north shore. I'd happily show you sometime. There is also Lake Towhee north of Nock. That place has some SLOBS in it. Dont forget Perkiomen Creek. The Northeast branch has trout in it, an the rest trout and smallies. Nothing big, but an ultralighters dream. Fly fishing is good, too. I recently moved here as well; back in August. Work keeps me busy, so I dont have a lot of time. I try to get out on weekends when I can. I could always use more fishing buddies!

Hell, if were going to travel at all, it mines well be to a place worth it: -Candlewood in CT -the Patomac in DC -Northeast River in MD -Hopatcong in NJ -Maopac in NY Those would get my vote. I woud love to suggest a Pa lake, but there isnt one worth it. Dont hate, I live in Pa!!!

Hey all! I have a tourny on the Potomac April 14th and 15th. We re launching out of Slavins. I have never been to the Patomac, and I am soooooo pumped to finally fish this storied fishery. I imagine the water will be cold, and I know its tidal, but I have NO IDEA how to start. How does the tide effect the position of the fish in prespawn mode? What types of areas should I be looking for? Deep? Shallow? Tide-dependent? Any spots in particular? How should I target them? Any advice would be great. Just "imagine" that your explaining this to someone whos never been there before. Thanks! -Mega

I fished a SPRO Frog on 12# fluoro. I lost it....

Hey all! I had read a few posts on a few different forums from guys saying that they occasionally finding Lew's TP Speed Spools for around $150. Does anyone know where to find this? If someone knows and could just point me in the right direction, that would be super! Thanks!

Screw it. I'll just buy them.

Any tips on painting Cedar or Balsa cranks? I'm also looking for topcoat advise, how-to videos, etc. Thanks! -Mega

Does anyone here make their own Cedar or Balsa Crankbaits? I am looking for tips on sourcing bodies and lips, properly installing/gluing/lining up the lips, installing screw loops for split rings, finishing, etc. Any good videos on putting a crankbait together? Any advice would help. Thanks! -Mega

Does anyone make wtheir own weedguards? What do you use, how do you do it? Thanks! -Mega

How do each of you glue in weedguards? I tried using gorilla glue yesterday (my first few jigs I've ever made), and its ok, but far from perfect. It expands and foams, and I dont like that. Do you have a better way?

I am looking for some H-E-A-V-Y fluoro, 40-55lb test. I don't need much. Who makes the most invisible fluoro? I need it for leader material. Thanks!

Gamakatsu make a short shank treble. It is a 2x wire, which means that it has a thicker, stronger wire. I prefer the to the Mustads. They are way more "sticky" sharp, and have long, deep bends to keep fish buttoned. They also have a neat tapering eye for easy installation without split ring pliers. They are called "Magic Eye Short Shank". They are awesome!

Hey Mystic, I'm in the same boat as you (no pun intended). I live in Telford, PA, south of Quakertown. My old Nitro has some dings and what not. I got the name of a place called Palm Boat. Its in Palm, PA (go figure), and the owners name is Jefferey Schultz. I have not contacted him yet because I am not in a position to bring my boat down there at the moment. His email is: jeffrey_l_schultz@comcast.net. Let me know how things go. I got his name from one of the guys in my bass club. He came highly recommended. Tight lines.
