x2 along this river i fished i found little blue worm container after little blue worm container. and then bags of empty soda and water bottles hanging from the bushes near the spot. I picked up probably around 25 of those things.

well i can answer your last question, i had a same scenario except in stained water (about 2 feet of clarity), i would drag it really slow and then give it some quick jerks like a real craw fish does. I got several bass doing that, that was the only time i used a jig though, but it worked. if you ever watched a real craw fish(which is what a jig mainly imitates), they crawl pretty slow and then jet off going backwards. And im not sure but i think fliuping and pitching are the same thing? There are guys on here with years more experience than me, im sure they will be here any moment

top notch bro 8-)

i spent 205 i only brought 100, my mom bailed me out and i had to repay her when i got home he is a quick lil wretched

tying on one of those $1 buzzbaits from walmart.

okay so i meant to say "how do they affect fishing"?

I sometimes hear about the pros talking about cold front and warm fronts, and how they affect fishing, but i never seem to understand. Can someone help me here?

some one did something similar like this to me, and now I'm hooked. good job mate.

i would say so, we northern guys don't see those 10lbers as much so where 10-11lb is our state record, a 5lb is a great catch.

Aww man, that was rough. done

i like brown and green worms. pumpkin seed, watermelon, those are the main colors i like to use ANYWHERE. also motor oil is cool too, a Berkly power worm in motor oil is my go to bait, it looks brownish but when in water it turns green

little late for that.

i got a small tackle box, and a big tackle box. One is where i store all my stuff, and the other one is for when i go fishing. Since i don't have a ton of room for everything, i need to bring lures that will do work. So here are the conditions: the last 4 days have been high 50s/low 60s, and tomorrow, the high is supposed to be 74. The water is pretty muddy/stained, and there are no weeds, and no clouds. I'm fishing in a little canal, and around docks. and i don't have a boat. So what are the lures that will pack a punch for these conditions?

this may sound weird but Berkly power worm, 1/16oz weight, and a 4/0 offset worm hook, seems so simple but by me everyone wants to use spinner baits and crank baits, i rarely see anyone using plastic worms.

So i took my fly rod to the local park and there were PLENTY of people there. i didn't really know what i was doing but i saw some other guy fly fishing there last year and he caught pan fish and bass, so i thought ide try. I wasn't getting even a bite, and then i called my dad to come and pick me up. after i got off the phone one of the guys about 20 yds down from me caught a 3lb bass. ridiculus, I'm going back tomorrow and I'm fishing all day.

Well that's what the dnr guy said, even catch and release is bad. but if you wanna fish for "pike" and "accidentally" catch a few bass.....

So i was gonna go fly fishing with my new rod that i got as a present and there arnt any rivers around me so i was gonna go to a canal that has panfish, bass and carp. how do i reel in a fish when i hook one?

Go with spro, dont buy the "snag proof" ones the weight falls out of them and they fill with water.

worms always do me quite a bit of luck from shore. also, spinner baits and buzz baits. i like to cast worms right on the edge of a weed line and work back parallel to it.

Ya, i didn't find that out till 2 days ago, i got busted by DNR, at least he wasn't a ***** about, he just told me that i couldn't fish for bass and that bass season starts the 3rd week in April. he was pretty cool about it.

Ya for real.

I think she is a pregnant dog. what about you? From what you have seen on tv.

all the snow is gone and the ice is off the water by me, but we did get some peculiar weather, a week of high 40s then wham bam boom, snow, now we are in the 50s. i hate Michigan.

Just to clarify the whole bonus situation. These bonuses are not performance based bonuses. They are termed bonuses as they are paid in one lump sum, however, they are actually more like the employee's salary. The corporations rig the employee's salary so that they pay them a small percentage of their salary throughout the year and then pay a large percentage of it in one lump sum (the "bonus"). This is done to provide an incentive for that employee to remain at the company. That's why they call them "retention bonuses". BTW I'm not arguing whether or not those people should have received their bonus, I'm just trying to clarify the situation a bit because the news reporting has been pretty bad about the whole thing. Thxs, i dint really know much about the bonus situation. I hope everything turns out okay.

Well Obama gave his verdict about the auto companies. they are not getting anymore help. If Gm and Chrysler go under, then ford will be sure to follow. I live in Michigan, I'm right in the middle of the auto industry, just about everyone is involved with the auto industry here. I may be only 16, but if Ford, GM, and Chrysler go down, this isn't gonna be a little speed bump, there is gonna be a lot of trouble. How come companies like AIG get help even though they are giving out millions in bonus', but no help is given the American auto industry, which tried to adjust. They made more fuel efficient cars, but then gas went down, they got the short end of the stick and they need help now. If i don't have some of my facts straight feel free to correct, me, ide like some good news... :-/ So now i wanna ask 2 questions and see what you guys think: 1. Watup with the economy? Are we still in a recession, is it getting better, is it going to get worse? 2. How badly do you think the US will be affected if the automakers fail.
