it was sick. didnt eat lunch so we were literally starving before we found em, but that didnt stop us for 4 more hours. by that time we were having trouble standing up and speaking correctly.they were still poppin off pretty nicely when we left. i felt like a crackhead who had his pipe taken away

thirty bucks for the laptop, so 230 for a nice laptop still seems too good to be true.

button up pants are a must. i dont need sharp metal interlocking teeth in such a delicate area

thanks dudes. again next time, i'll have pics i dont care how excited i get, i'll snap photos.

crazy how their eyes are on the bottom of its head. unlike a bass having theirs on top.i guess bass need to see upwards to ambush shad and whatnot, whereas carp just suck the bottom up?

this game is all about how well bama's secondary performs.

it puts the lotion on its skin again, or else it gets the hose again :-/

carp is gross. japanese do this too, except the fish is raw. asians are obsessed with the artistic culinary approach.

geez, i thought dinosaurs were extinct.

sorry, cant believe that

this year i MUST learn to tie some new knots. also want to figure em out off the bank and do a little open water fishing. this year i WILL catch one on a jig n pig.ive caught so many on plastic crawfsh, flappin hogs and wooley hogtails that surely i can get one on a jig.

Don't get the spot removers. I lose a ton of fish with these jig heads because the hook is small. I don't know if you know what "the perfect jig" head is but it has a flat bottom like a spot remover, but it also incoporates a football head design. They come in a little tube labled the perfect jig. They use bigger hooks than a spot remover and i have never lost a fish using em. As for worms i like a zoom trickworm. In highly pressured lakes though i like to throw a 6" fat roboworm straight tail and a 7" stratight tail worm in oxblood light red flake. You can't beat it.

i think i know exactly what you're experiencing. the key to what you say is that it doesn't birdsnest and that it happens near the boat. my guess is that you have a fairly fast casting motion. what's happening is, at the beginning of your cast, your spool is turning faster than the line is paying out. you can verify this by watching your reel as you cast normally...you will see the line forming multiple loops that sometimes work themselves out but sometimes catch onto themselves. after the lure hits the water, continue pulling out some line by hand and i bet it comes out smoothly but sometimes the spool moves backwards over a loop. if it were line-digging causing your problem, the line wouldn't pay out smoothly and you'd be able to see it rubbing against small ruts in your line. i experience this problem occasionally on some of my magnetic reels too. my recommendation is to modify your casting motion so that your backswing is not so violent. smoothness is the key with mag reels.

went out to the rez yesterday with a buddy. got on the water around 830 am and couldn't find em till around 1:00. but when we did they weren't just a bunch o 1 and 2 pounders, we were catching 4 and close to 5 pounders one after the other. the whole spot was boiling, i love it when they do that. ive never had a day like that out there. never been to that particular spot either. backwaters way off the main river. it was like they knew it was the last day to fatten up before winter. yesterday it got up to the 70's . today its been in the low 40's and will continue to drop throughout the week. i felt like dude on caddyshack playin his personal best round of golf in the rain gettin carried away right before gettin struck by lightening, only i didnt get struck by lightning, just winter. :'(. wish i had pics, but like i said they were boiling, and we just wanted to rack up on what i think was the last frenzy of the year.time to slooooow down. thought i'd share

yeah these things are nice, im gonna stock up and give em a shot. thanks for the opinions!

yeah we know u like em! roadwarrior is the one that suggested the kutail to me in the 1st place, thanks man

costas are great sunglasses. but for fishing shoreline in murky water i think maui jims are THE way to go. stingrays preferably. bronze lens.cant believe everything you read online but do whatever you can to make an exception for my suggestion.

i take it i'm the only mississippian on here frequently

get em' dude i gave em a shot and got instant results. weightless and shakey head. theyve already been prooven effective, but with that action on the tail.....man

yeah im gonna try tying on a heavier line tighter this time and just experiment. practice practice. im overwhelmed by the help here thanks a ton guys. anything else? as far as brake setting suggestions or anything?

it doesnt happen every time. and i understand you gotta adjust cast control when changing lures but if i tighten it, it wont let me cast far. ive fished with it for a while so ive messed around with the brakes and whatever else. it doesnt happen on my other revo but it has mono on it. i'll try winding it on a little tighter. btw i'll be sending my reels to you for cleaning and such Reel Mechanic. 24 years of service you must know somethin!

A win over the rebels have made this holiday that much better!i felt it. ole miss have more talent than state but when playin at home,passion overides! go dawgs!

planomolding.com. 3714 spinner bait box. says its also good for holding jigs and rattle traps. 32 compartments.

man i know the feeling. ive been struggle fishing a HUGE reservoir for several years with only a few good days, and had the oppurtunity thanksgiving night at a family gathering to sit down with the guy that is also a writer. he also writes the fishing reports down here.He spent his whole life fishing this reservoir system, knows the whole place like the back of his hands, knows EVERYBODY in fisherys, and all the biologists breeding and stocking. this guy was no holes barred, a fountain of information. no secrets. in fact this guy gave me his phone # and told me to call him if i ever needed anything! man will he regret that statement! this was like an avid bicycler getting to sit down with lance armstrong. awesome guy. bobby cleveland is his name, my hero

it is new. are u telling me i need a shimano now?! :-?
