Yes, tell us, enquiring minds want to know...

Congrats Kent !!!!

Not from management, us on the other hand could have some fun with this...

Sorry jbo225, I got a little caught up in Wayne's post and didn't make a suggestion, in colder waters I am more inclined to lean toward what Wayne is using which is blade baits but, my absolute favorite in cold water is the hair jig, it does a fantastic job on lethargic fish.

Very nice indeed sir with some really healthy looking and very beautiful colored bass there Wayne !!

Good job Wayne, I see you have invested in that 360 since I was last here and it looks like your enjoying it too !!

I always look forward to our back and forth ribbing of one another, as a matter of fact, when I opened this up this morning and seen that you had posted here, I already had a smile and couldn't wait to see what you had to say, this was not what I was expecting but it did yield a smile anyway, I know you have a lot on your plate this season and you know you have a spot in my boat if you ever make it down this way, one phone call and I will have the boat in the water waiting on ya buddy !! This means the world to me my friend, I shall do my best to learn as much as possible from every outing and continue to improve as well, looks like my season "may possibly" start this coming weekend, I will take your post with me, well, at least the well wishing part of it, I will make sure to send some pics your way, that is if I can get my Iphone to work by then, a late start is better than a no start, you just make sure you get ready for it so that you can take advantage of it, I wish for all of your fish to be bigger than you are this season when you do finally get a line wet. God bless, good luck and be safe buddy !!! Now that's the sound of excitement right there now !! Don't forget to post a pic of that new PB !!! Good luck and be safe !!!

LOL !! give us some specifics as to what you wish to accomplish and I am sure you will get the answer your looking for.

Need to finish restocking but I'm almost ready too!!

Sounds like your off to really great start, my boat is still buried in the snow we had here and you already have a DD LOL!! congrats and I hope you get that teen'r, good luck and be safe !!

There a difference between stir crazy and crazy, you my friend seem to be walking that razor thin line... LOL !!!

Still beats not getting out at all right !

Well, if you were in New Market you were 12 minutes from my house LOL !! It truly is a beautiful place to live, it's unfortunate however because Harrisonburg is expanding and becoming more like the city my family left back in the late 70's, your father had a beautiful area of his own as well, there are some breath taking views down around that area as well, one reason why I truly love the state of Va., you don't have to go far to find yourself away from everything.

With recent events in our area it has become something that consumes my thoughts, I have guns that can protect my family in the house but not anything you can carry around or get to in a hurry if need be. Handguns have become really expensive, which has become one more determining factor added into the massive decision making process, another has become insurance, not for the gun but for yourself, depending on the laws in your area, should you choose to protect yourself with an open and or concealed carry no matter which you choose, there is an underlying issue of lawsuits from a corrupt justice system fighting for the criminals rights, should you ever have to defend yourself you could be brought to court on charges, make sure you add this to your list of things to consider. I still have not purchased one as of yet, I have however talked to many law enforcement officers, many military personnel, fired and serviced a lot of their hand guns that they use, gone to I don't know how many gun shops to find the right gun that would be comfortable for use and have complete confidence in, a lot of these people will try to sell you what they think you need, don't do that, do what is right for you, explore as many options as you can, I thought I really wanted a Glock, their name and dependability are about as good as it gets but the breakdown process on the models I am interested in does not allow me to release the upper portion (the slide) with ease, my fingers are just big to grab those tiny little release tabs, it's simple things like this that can later on make you wish that you would have put that hard earned money into something else, take your time and handle as many hand guns as you can before you take that leap, make sure your comfortable with everything about it, we have a gun store here in Va. that allows you to fire any weapon in any caliber you want, that little extra money spent in places like this can make all the difference in choosing a hand gun and caliber that fits you best, you must have confidence and be comfortable with your choice, once you do make that choice, don't skimp on the practice and the training either, hope that helps a bit for when you do decide. Edit: I forgot to include the one I chose for CC and home defense, 45 cal. Sig Sauer P250 full size

Yes, it sure is, are ya familiar with anything in the area ?

That's just south of Hicksville isn't it ?

Where about ?

I'm a Va. Boy too, I avoid them by keeping my happy arse in Va.!!

Sounds like a personal problem... you really need to get out more !

Hope you feel better soon !

That's ok, I'm all about dem largies anyway, stripers are most likely more active in the mouths of the major creek entrances up lake right now anyway, haven't been over there for a few months so I'm not really sure, might come over on Sunday and do some lookin around on the ledges and some of those long points in that area, not sure if I will have an open seat or not if I do get the opportunity but if I do you are more than welcome to join me if you wish.

I want to go there some day !! Lake Anna Va. I have a Love/Hate relationship with this ol' girl, she is going to give me that illusive double digit bass one of these days.

Updating my pics with a new to me ride, 2000,19' ProCraft super pro 200 with a 200 merc to push her around, she needs a little TLC but she's 2' longer with a lot more storage and a lot more deck space than what I had.

The best part of fishing to me is being open minded about things that experienced anglers pass along, this, combined with other lessons, always has a place in the art of figuring things out, maybe it was designed and built to better enhance the anglers experience on the west coast, I find the clock a little confusing to read but, it's something I can continue to study and hopefully find a use for.

I like to set myself apart from everyone else though LOL !! I like being around Dike 3 early in the mornings or later in the evenings when the striper's get active, that can be a lot of fun this time of year !!
