i was thinkin the same thing.

that is the coolest tree ive ever seen , ive never seen anything like it , i would send that to mountain dew they should put that thing on a christmas commercial.

ugh ,kenney chesney. it looks to me that shania has been doin alot of bench pressin on her time off.

i remember back in the highschool days me and a friend too a trip to the state fair in springfield and i walked up to one of the tents for something to eat and the girl who was working walked up to me with shorts and a tank top and she had hairy legs and hairy armpits hippie like lookin i walked outta there thinkin good luck sellin some food at this tent

toby gave a good response to the reporter who noticed his bare underarms firing back at him ,you dont have a man crush do you?. you want to know if i shave anything else.

my wife just informed me about this little tid bit from her people magazine he says in the article he shaves his armpits because he sweats alot on stage ,my wife asked if i was next i told her i would consider it if it would improve my casting distance by 5 yards or so or help me rake the front yard faster. i told her maybe in his latest song she never cried in front of me he should have worded it, HE never cried in front of me . what do you guys think ?

i have to admit the first time i saw the the ad i hollered to my wife come quick ,i just found out what to buy your mother for xmas , she didnt laugh

not to long ago i saw a spot on the news about foodshortages at the food banks because of the economy i saw some people standing in line that were bigger than my ford focus im thinkin no wonder there is a food shortage

maybe you could make up some signs , by me there is a retention pond that some of the old timers that fish there said it used to have big fish in it but now youre luckly to catch anthing these old timers told me alot of korean people startedfishing there and were always seen keeping fish of all sizes me being a newbie fishing there i made up some signs that look professional that say catch and release lake and i posted them around the lake on 1x2 wood stakes these people thought the village or police put up the signs and havent been back since im hoping this retention lake will rebuild with fish its so close to my house.

one of my customers is a private golf club that has a pond on the property they are kind enough to let me fish on mondays when the club is closed to the reg members i just got the okay a couple months ago to allow me to fish there and ive caught some 3 and 4 #bass regularly but last night using a black spinnerbait i caught two northern pike in a row which i didnt even no they had in there i asked one of the groundskeepers about them when i was leaving and he said that one of the golfers stocks it out of his own pocket i was wondering what effect these northern pike will have on the bass population, this isint a real big pond. thanks

a newbie question lately i havent had much luck finding fish in the strip mine pit i fish and was wondering if any of you guys ever use one of those underwater fish cameras to locate fish hiding spots.also are they worth the money? . thanks

SORRY GUYS IM NOT A WRITER OR A COLLEGE GRADUATE , I LOOK AT LIFES SITUATIONS AND TRY TO THROW SOME HUMOR IN MAYBE MAKE SOMEBODY LAUGH FOR A MINUTE , ALMOST ALWAYS POKING FUN AT MYSELF , DONT WORRY . I WONT GIVE YOU ANYMORE AMMUNITION

I WAS OFF THURSDAY MORNING AND EVEN THOUGH ITS FREEZING OUTSIDE SAID HA!, MOST OF THE GUYS WILL BE HUNTING , THESE WATERS .ARE ALL MINE , JUST ME AND MY POND PROWLER NO INTIMADAT ION BY THE RANGER BOATS , NOT TODAY . WELL, AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF FISHING UNDER MY BELT AND GNARLY A HIT I BEGAN TO THINK TO MYSELF PERHAPS THE OTHERS ARENT HUNTING, POSSIBLY THESE SEASONED PROS KNOW OF SOME MOON PHASE OR BAROMETRIC TRICK OR SOME OTHER SECRET TIP THAT ME, THE BEGINNER FISHERMAN FIND WAY TO CONFUSING TO ABSORB , ALL I KNOW IS TIMES LIKE THIS DRIVE ME NUTS ,TO MUCH TIME TO REFLECT UPON ONES LIFE, INSTEAD OF BEING FOCUSED ON THE FISHING AT HAND. MY MIND TRAILS OFF TO SOME DEEP SPOT INWARDLY UNWARE OF THE BEAUTY SURROUNDING ME I BECOME IMPATIENT , IRRATABLE , AGAITED OR AS MY WIFE CALLS IT A TROUBLED MAN SHE SAYS I SHOULD FOCUS ON THE PRESENT AND DONT BE SO SELF CENTERED ITS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU , HUH! WHAT THE HECK DOES THAT MEAN. TO ME THESE TYPE STATEMENTS I FIND MORE CONFUSING THAN THE FISHING ONES BEFORE IT . SINCE THE FISHING WAS SLOW AND I WAS GETTING HOT I DECIDED TO TRY THIS SMALL SHADY CHANNEL THAT CONNECTS THE TWO LAKES IVE BEEN FISHING ON .WHILE PUTTIN THRU THE CHANNEL, I CAME UPON AN OLD MAN ABOUT 80 IN A JON BOAT WITH OARS FISHING 5 FEET FROM SHORE WITH A BOBBER FISHING FOR BLUE GILLS I THOUGHT TO MYSELF. HE LOOKS RELAXED, COMFORTABLE, ENJOYING THE BEAUTIFUL DAY ,THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT. MAYBE MY WIFE IS RIGHT, ITS NOT ALL ABOUT ME. MINUTES EARLIER, BEFORE COMING UPON THIS OLD TIMER , IN THE PROCESS OF CASTING A CRANKBAIT, I HAD UNLEASHED A MASSIVE LINE TWIST SENDING ME INTO FIST CLENCHING PROFANITY HURLING CHILD LIKE TANTRUM ,ALMOST EMBARRASED BY IT NOW, THANKFUL THAT THIS OLD MAN DIDNT HAVE TO WITNESS A GROWN MAN OF 46 THROWING A HISSY FIT OUT ON HIS BOAT. I REMEMBER AS A KID GROWING UP I WOULD STEER CLEAR OF THE GARAGE WHENEVER MY DAD WAS WORKING ON SOMETHING IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING WENT WRONG AND ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE . I REMEMBER ONE TIME WHEN I ASKED MY GRANDMOTHER WHAT KIND OF MAN WAS GRANPA SHE ,A WOMAN OF FEW WORDS REPLIED, HE WAS A TOOL THROWER, LIKE YOUR FATHER IS. THATS ALL I NEEDED TO KNOW I GUESS MAYBE ITS TRUE THE ACORN DOESNT FALL TO FAR FROM THE TREE. AS I CASTED OUT MY SENKO WORM AND WAS ALLOWING IT SOME TIME ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE I GAZED UPON THE OLD TIMER THINKING MAYBE MY WIFE IS RIGHT ISHOULD BE MORE PATIENT NOT SO SELF CENTERED STOP THE ME ME ME , NO MORE EMBARRISING OUTBURSTS, AS I SET MY SPINNING ROD DOWN I GAZED UPON THE OLD TIMER AND THOUGHT MAYE HE IS HERE FOR A REASON TO TEACH ME LESSONS ABOUT LIFE, LOOK AT HIM CALM RELAXED ENJOYING THE TREES , HOW MUCH TIME COULD HE HAVE LEFT, THINGS DONT SEEM TO BE BOTHERING HIM , LOOK AT ME ME REFLECTING ON MY LIFE AS A MEDIOCRE BUSINESS MAN AND MEDICORE HUSBAND. JUST THEN , MY EYES BEGAN TO WELL UP, I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, MY GOD IVE SEEN THE LIGHT IM A CHANGED MAN THIS OLD MAN, WITH OUT SPEAKING A WORD HAS IMPACTED MY LIFE ALREADY, I SHOULD REEL IN MY SENKO AND GO SPEAK TO MY NEW OLD FRIEND , TEACH ME , TEACH ME ,I KEPT THINKING TO MYSELF. JUST AS I STARTED UP THE TROLLING MOTOR TO APPROACH HIM, I SAW HIM BEND DOWN TO PICK UP HIS ROD, I HEARD HIM SAY *OD *AMMIT ANOTHER *OD *AMN SNAG THROWING HIS POLE INTO THE BOTTOM OF HIS BOAT .WOOH , I SAID TO MYSELF KEEP YOUR DISTANCE ,ANOTER TOOL THROWER . ACEMAN 387 .

IM NOT SURE WHAT THIS IS USED FOR, HOPEFULLY YOUR OK, IF YOUR JOKING AND THESE INJECTIONS IMPROVE YOUR CASTING DISTANCE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL CALL MY DOCTOR TODAY. ACEMAN387

like some of the others have said, go work for some bait shops that have survived the onslaught of the big stores opening , talk to as many owners you can . you being small shop people would come to you for small items ,some lures live bait , hooks etc in other words you will get the the crumbs, as t he big shops, bass pro etc will get most of the traffic and big ticket items because you being smaller they assume you are more expensive find out the niches the other survivors have adapted . you would have to have a business plan alot of money saved for slow start up it would take time to build a customer base and with the state of the economy i wouild take these bad years to learn as much as you can and wait for better times to open a store .good location a must , long hours a must . aceman 387

back in a minute i gotta run to the liqour store.

i i have a few minutes to kill so i figured i would tell you guys about my little fishing incident last thurs morn , i keep my mighty pond prowler out at a private club chained to a tree in the thick brush next to the heavy formation of poison ivy because, frankly, im too lazy to chain it farther and have to drag it to the water but anyway thurs morn started out routine got there before sunrise unlocked the boat dragged it to the water piled all my crap aboard it got on it and started fishing after a few minutes of no action on my jitterbug i got restless and decided its lure changing time when i picked up my tackle bag i thought i saw something scurry away , im thinking spider, a big spider?i mean how big can this thing be if it left a shadow from the predawn moonlight above me, so im thinking how am i gonna be able to concentrate om my new topwater selection knowing i may be sharing my 9ft pond prowler with a spider perhaps the size of a spinnerbait, that perhaps, would think of my pantless leg as a tree to scurry up to safety. the little guy on my left shoulder said leave him alone it is a one of gods little creatures he just wants to eat sleep and mate with as many spiders as he can, you know kind of like you but with women, on the other shoulder, the other little guy said what are you crazy stomp the son of a *itch he may be the size of pie pan its dark ,you cant tell , how much fun would it be dragging your boat to the water with an artifical leg , stop i said to myself i should be able hold him at bay with the tip of my 7ft med heavy st croix rod complete with supercaster 180 xl reel till sunrise where it would then be advantage me after all he is trespassing on my territory isint he , but then again me being the lover of nature i thought you know he realy isint hurting any thing being on board with me, he after all is much quiter than my wife, he isint scaring the fish and im sure he wont lose any of my expesive lures up in the trees, maybe i will pull to shore and set him free and as the sunrose i pulled to shore grabbed a tree branch with alot of leaves and convinced my little fishin partner to climb up it and set him free , end of story aceman 387

how about short and sweet, roses are red violets are blue i need a date for the homecoming ,im hoping its you

i liked it to. this may have been aroud, first i heard of it , an old timer told me about being married, when a man and woman get married the woman gets a ring on her finger the man gets two under his eyes. aceman387

i have a wife who ventures out in the boat with me once in awhile (wanna screw up your concentration while your hunting a trophy largemouth bring your wife along and make sure she brings her cellphone along so her daughters can call every 15min to chit chat l) i know what you guys are thinking speak up be a man ,heres the problem her other recent hobby she took up is archery , bowhunting to be exact my 7ft medium shimano crucial rod is know match for a mathews bow complete with raczor broadheads , ive seen her grouping these arrows on her target frankly its frieghting in the past i never did the dishes or laundry even bother picking up my clothes arond the house , lately its changed im like a newborn nanny around here i even catch myself answering yes deer i mean yes dear,i even catch myself actualy listening when she talks to me , back when i first met her a few years back she was a city girl never fished never hiked never had a tick on her ,hell , a couple years back she would have me pick up bags of corn on the way home so she could feed the pretty deer. now a couple years later she is asking what can we throw out of the freezer so we have room for venison huh! the other problem is fishing as all of us know can be an expensive hobby especialy when the bait monkey rears its ugly head but as you bowhunters no it is nothing compared to bowhunting ,my wifes bowhunting bait monkey appears to have a larger appetiite than my fishing bait monkey in other words my wifes new hobby is competing for the acemans savings, at this rate the dream of owning a loomis rod some day in the near future seems that a dream. what would you guys do? i gotta go she asked me to vacum the house , yes deer ii mean yes dear im gonna do it right now . mouseman 387, i mean aceman387 ( p. s. wed is her first daydeer hunting i will let you guys know how it went. )

i remember last year when my wife went fishing with me a rare occurance thank god because she brings luggage aboard my 9ft pond prowler when she comes including a book ,we were on the water at one of the stripmine channels and she had to go pee i forgot a pee cup so she says pull into this little cove it looks shallow i will just strip to my panties jump in and pee in the water , so i raced ahead of the other fisherman who were approching this cove also , they were probably thinking this guy has a hot spot ( i shouldnt say race how fast can a 35 thrust trolling motor speed you) so i got just ahead of these other boats whipped in the cove she says this looks shallow here (super clear water =misleading depth readings ) so were in a hurry here because the other fisherman are closing in on us so she strips jumps in what looked like 2 ftdeep was 4 or 5 ft deep she screams because the water is freezing and in the process didnt move her rod with a treble hook out of the way and the hook gets caught in her panties she gets done peeing struggles to get back in the boat because of the deeper than expected water and i cant help because im holding the rod tip up to keep the lure from digging in her butt she didnt get hooked but came close, in the meantime another boat passed us before she finaly dislodged her panties they just smiled and waved . aceman 387

i voted for patience but i can see how they both are equaly important i have a coffee habit when i go fishing in the morning i take this thermos full of coffee with me in the morning my wife swears its the size of a torpedo and when filled weighs more than my trolling motor battery ive noticed when fishing with those senkos ive caught more fish by just throwing it out there and almost forgetting about it for a minute or so, a couple hours later when all the coffee is hitting me less patience and less fish not to mention all the peeing. aceman387

from one newbie to another , welcome. aceman387

i picked up a new account this past summer a privae golf course that has a pond on it , all the members are wealthy one groundskeeper told me one member stocks it out of his own pocket, i got a chance to meet the head groundskeeper one day in our store and i asked him any chance i could go fishing in there , he asked the big guy running the course and he told me i could go in on mondays when members arent present, unbelievable fishing i went threw a bag of senkos in a hour i caught ten nice bass 3 huge blugills and a northern pike on those senkos,almost a fish every cast , the only downsde is the course is open mon to business or other non member functions this pond is right alondside the last hole i literaly had golf balls landing all around me and in the water , those gotta hurt. aceman 387

man i would crap my pants if i ever hauled in something close to that big , i fish in mostly strip mine pits by me , the biggest ive pulled in is not even half that size, now youve motivated me , thats a nice fish . aceman 387
