Most of my fish have been caught on a 1/2 oz firetiger booyah spinnerbait with the stock willowleaf blade replaced with a #5 silver willowleaf.

That was simply an incredible game. I've always said the potential was there for the raiders to be great, and I'm a raiders fan, but I was simply shocked. It was great. I was jumping up and down and screaming the whole time. this is really a huge win for the raiders. I'm really surprised campbell managed to play so well. Just last week he was terrible. It was nice to see mcfadden play though, he seems faster than ever. I really hope this marks a turning point for the raiders. We'll see what happens on sunday when they play the seahawks. GO RAIDERS!!

Damnit, I got really excited when I saw this. I thought the Raiders might finally get a good quarterback. I'm glad I decided to read the whole thread before i started calling friends to spread the news.

Nice to see the ducks are dominating, and #2. Cant say I'm surprised though.

I voted baitfish. The waters I fish don't have shad, but the bass are often keyed in on perch/bluegill/ trout it seems. Where I fish there are a ton of crawfish, and I often do well on craw baits, but usually baitfish imitators do best. In the early spring and late fall I usually always catch them on craw baits, and they often spit up craws, so it seems to me like it varies by season. Right now, from what I can tell they're eating a lot of perch and bluegill. Also, my best lures are ones that run higher in the water column and imitate these.

We have over here in Oregon too, although they're pretty rare. The big gangs in my area are the surenos and nortenos, as well as a bunch of skinhead gangs. The skinheads tick me off more than the others.

15 years old and drinking vodka?? Most 15 year olds do drink vodka.

I always love seeing the cowboys lose. Especially to a team that isn't very good.

In early fall I throw mostly crainkbaits and topwaters. The lakes I fish get drawn down, which means most of the cover like brush is above water. I fish mostly rocky banks and flats. In late fall, (November-December) I inch a jig across the bottom, which usually results in some very nice fish.

That's just one more reason to hate the vikings. I can't wait to see Brett Favre getting smashed by the saints.

I like the idea of this new forum. It may get out of hand, but if someone doesn't like it they can just not use it.

Lately I've been catching a lot of fish on topwaters, mostly buzzbaits and poppers. My problem is that I only get bit on topwaters when there isn't very much wind. It's often very windy at my lake. What topwaters work well in heavy wind? I'm not talking about a little ripple on the surface, but actual waves. Will topwaters even work in this situation? My buzzbait keeps going under the water when it hits the waves, and other topwaters just get blown all over the place. If topwaters wont work under these conditions what will? It seems like I can't catch em when the wind is strong, then once it stops I start catching them.

Does anyone know when the sale ends? I'm planning on ordering on monday and don't want to miss it. The site won't even load now, there must be a lot of people on it.

I like yum dingers most of the time. When I want a faster fall I go with a yamamoto. Most of my stick bait fishing is done in the spring, and the fish usually like the slower fall of the dingers.
