Unfortunately, the modern tech age is contributing to the stupidization, yes that is now a word, of society. Students no longer know what a dewey decimal system, dictionaries, etc. are because they can just push a button. What this is actually doing is causing our generation to become reliant on technology and have no actual basic skills. How many people these days (young adults) could do simple tasks that were staples of the older generation such as change your own oil, change a spare tire, draft a grammatically correct letter complete with proper diction. Heck, even writing a complete sentance is fading away because of texting. Sad really...

They all went to the ends of their driveways and are now in different states....... LOL

#6 mayfly pattern. Just kidding

My suggestion for practicing launching and trailering your boat would be: Do not "practice" on the weekends unless it is REALLY early or REALLY late in the day. From about 9am-6pm on the weekends you do not want to be practicing at the ramp. If you want to do that pick a week day or late evening when there is no ramp traffic. Boaters who practice at the launch on the weekends simply slow doan the process and frustrate seasoned anglers and boaters. With minimal practice, you should be able to get your boat launched in less than 6 minutes. I can do it in about 5 by myself. Good luck. Also, if you are practicing, make sure you are at a ramp that is fairly flat. This will make it easier to get the boat in the water and back on the trailer.

The motor is a 96 Johnson 150. Sorry. My question was I have seen ads for Champion and other brands I just was curious is one is better than the other. Kinda like cola, you have coke, pepsi, RC, and big K. All are colas but is one better than the other?

two words for you; ROCKET FISHERMAN..............

So far so good. I have had a few backlashes with it but with any reel that doesn't have a dual braking system that is to be expected. I have been fairly impressed with its smoothness. I will keep you posted.

Classic. I would wear that shirt

I have seen the Kim Bayne show, I thought it was well done There was another show featuring a woman who was a professional hunter in Africa. The show featured her hunting and fishing all over the world. I cannot for the life of me remember her name. She was blonde, pretty, and was a heck of a good shot. the show ran for about two seasons. The sport needs a marketable face before they put a show around someone. Unfortunately, there hasn't been too many women who have had a huge impact or had the personality to carry a show. I am not saying there isn't a lot of qualified women, they just haven't found the right person yet. They would need someone with a personality that could "muck" it up with the guys, talk smack, etc. and be camera friendly. I would watch, heck I have been watching Charlie Moore for Gods sake..........

Brookville would definately be another place to go. Great lake Are you fishing from a boat or from shore? Wading or canoeing the little miami river is great for smallmouth as well. Birdy, Do you fish the local lakes? I grew up terrorising west chester. actually my sister still lives there. I almost bought a house there in Feb. but we chose Shaker run.

NICE JOB!!! That area can be dynamite with the right conditions. You hit the jackpot on conditions. I have never seen the charities that calm either. Oh I do miss those bay trips. Were you on the east or west side of the islands?

Welcome to the site You have made the best starting decision already, joining this site. Next Take a few days to read some posts here to get an idea on techniques, gear, places, etc. Ask questions. The first time to set the hook on a nice fish you will understand what its all about. Good luck

I am not a mechanic so I will leave this question to the group: Is there a noticeable difference in spark plug brands? I recently changed the spark plugs in my boat (which were champion). When I went to purchase them at auto zone they gave me NGKs and said this was the replacement spark plug for my champion brand. What is the difference? They look the same except the NGKs have a threaded end and the Champions are flat. Does one brand produce more spark??

Plan your dive and dive your plan......... I am curious to ask about the pounding a metal stake into the ground comment?????

Are you from the area? Ceasars Creek would be my first suggestion because it is the closest lake around that part of the woods. Cowan lake can also be a good bet early in the day. With ALL of the local Cincinnati lakes, go early. You do not want to be at the ramp on the weekends around noon or late in the afternoon. Get there early and be gone before the idiots arrive.

I believe there are many reasons for his lackluster year. All justifiable. All of the answers I am sure revolve around his branding. He may be focussing more on branding himself to ensure his financial well being is solid. He is doing more with equipment and lure design, probably more speaking and seminars, Commercials, family, etc. A man has to eat and tournament bass fishing isn't easy. Many of the pros make the majority of their money after they do well in tourneys. It is just a catalyst to the bigger money as their name becomes THEIR brand. Look at Ike, he has really dropped off in terms of tournament standings. He isn't fishing as much but he is all over with his show, doing pieces in magazines, etc. I can't fault these guys for trying to make money for their families

A few feet of heavy chain works just fine. especially if you fish rivers.

Congratulations Mike At what point will you start conducting and monitoring the Spelling and Grammar thread????? Thanks for your time and efforts in making BR the best...

Zebco 202 Without a doubt.............

Two words for you: Mend It A must for fat ikas and Yamamoto products. Heck, any soft plastic for that matter

A pic would have been priceless......

That show cracks me up. My 11yr old loves it. I actually think I get dumber as I watch though. It would not surprise me that they are loaded. Making 350.00 a day for catching gators? they aren't that dumb.

here is a pic

Thats Funny Right after the news broke I ran a shot special in my bar The Go USA Sign with a "Bloody Brain" shot. We sold 225 in one night Peach schnapps, Malibu, Take a stirrer straw and dip in in creamer. Place the strw in the center of the shot and take your finger off the straw slowly. The cream comes out and looks like a brain. Dip straw in grenadine and touch it off by the creamer

Question: why do you use the 12 speed anyway? this will only give you less power and will unevenly wear your TM batteries
