Could this be the Cubs year?! I'm sleeping on them, I think next year and a couple more pieces and there in.

Great, every time they switch over to winter blends, my mpg's go down.

I've built 2 with single foot guides installed after a double foot stripper guilde. No rhyme or reason for me, just liked the rod that way.

We'll see Mike, I'm very frustrated the last 2 years with not being able to fish much. I think I'm throwing in my sticks and calling it a nice 20 year memory. Any time you can catch a smallie is always good. Don't worry about losing lure to hang-ups, you're fishing in the right spots. Keep it up Bud!

I can see it working in shallow ponds, but if you can wait I'd look for something a little bigger. I'm in my first inflatable, a 10' Zodiak with a yamaha 9.9 - bought used, 3 y/o. I keep it in the bay up in kennebunkport and tool around with the kids and fish out of it. I don't stray too far off the coast, but I do have confidence with it where I can take it out for distances and be in 30' feet of water. I'm in my 4th year with it and love it but I would love to upgrade as well. Good luck.

Another year going by and I haven't been able to get out much. Man, I only went fishing 4 times, just realized that my last outing was on July 3rd.

I agree, I was kidding...sorry

I wrote 2 articles for another site. I was on spinnerbait fishing and the other was on the versatility of a lipless crankbait. Come up with a topic and theme, write down about 3 or 4 bullet points you want to empahsize and write a paragraph on each bullet point. Tie them all in on the last paragraph. It was a lot of fun to do.

My first time as well. It happened on my second or third outing this year: Caught a pickerel on a Rapala Rippin Rap and then I realized I forgot my pliers. I'm holding the fish by the back of the neck with my left hand, and trying to get the belly hook out of the toothy critter's mouth with my right. The fish is thrashing like nobody's business and the rear hook gets buried in the finger tip of my ring finger of my right hand. I am now handcuffed, because I can't let go of the fish, it's thrashing way too much. I see a life guard...a young high school kid just getting on his summer vacation and getting on his shift...and ask for help. Hesitant, he asks what he can do? "PULL THE HOOK OUT OF MY FINGER!" Still hesitant, he starts to apply pressure on the barbed hook. "PULL IT!" He yanks and gets the hook out! "Geez mister, that's the biggest fish I've seen caught here....BTW...Do you have any diseases I should know about?" As he shows me the blood on his hands. Gotta give it to the kid, he helped me out and asked the right questions! http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/102228-eastern-ma-fishing-reports/?p=1799641

I was gonna ask the same question...Another one of J''s "you're pulling my leg" posts! LOL Actually, I do remember a post he made a post that mentioned he dropped the "T" because it was silent...just made the forum name easier for folks to pronounce, if I remember correctly. Anyway, what a great article to read. Kind of an article for "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" to read and record a show! Actually, I think Guy Fieri is a percussionist aficionado.

hardware store, lowes, home depot, Walmart

Great job Bud!

EXACTLY!

I switch out the rear treble and add a Siwash, then use and old rubber worm or grub and cut it just long enough to t-rig without sacrificing the action of the spoon...sometimes I'll leave the tail section of the worm on for added attraction.

Take a steel rivet and soak it in a salt water solution for a few days. Take out and replace the aluminum rivet with the salt soaked one. Let it rust/oxidize more as you use your new sqeaky buzzbait. You did file some grooves in the steel rivet before you put it in the salt solution, right? I thought you did.

While you're at it, please ask if he would chuck wood up or up chuck wood?

Less ladle bearing peeps there as well...good move

LMAO....For some reason I think you needed to google that...

Dear Raider, Regarding answer #2: If a 2 x 6 x 12" = 1 board foot, how many linear feet of 2x4 would a wood chuck chuck in a day?

Really?! IO haven't been there in a couple of years because I've been working in Boston and South Shore, but I used to have great success there...HMM...May have to try it on my way home from Maine on Sunday to see what I can see. Thanks for the report.

Ask the ex to go to the football game and the newly wed can babysit for the day? Win win? No? I'll shut up now.

During the winter when we were getting pounded with snow, I missed 1 day of work because the State issued a State of Emergency and I was forced to stay home. All other days I was starting up at 5:30 AM in Boston. The only way to get to work on time was to go out and fire the snow thrower up at 4:00 AM so I can get out of the driveway. I felt bad, but I also knew I was the only one working on the street during those snow days. We got so much snow towards the end of the winter that I think my neighbors were insulated from the noise...LOL

If you invite Raider up, I'm sure he can make a nice hat for you.

1/2 oz Rippin Rap on braid. Hit a weed or 2 in those lanes and you can rip it through. Let the bait flutter after the rip and you can be in business. All time favorite and old school would be a short-arm spinnerbait. Colorado for thump in low light or stained water, willow for clear water, bright skies. Who the hell knows, a Colorado with bright skies and clear water!? Who ever read the spinnerbait book but us?
