I am with you. I will tell them 100% of the time what I am using. It's all about location, location, location.

Bill Dance, I would love to fish those ponds he fishes with all those hawgs. Other than that, I would love to fsh with KVD on my home lake and see what he can find that I can't ................or vice versa. ;D

I only use swivels on a c-rig. I never use steel leaders mainly because I don't fish for toothy fish. I am not a big fan of snap swivels. Yes they are quick and easy to switch lures, but not using one forces you to retie which is always a good thing. The ones I used in the past didn't seem al that strong either.

Really let your rod load up and then just turn your upper body. It's tough, but so important.

You can check bassmaster.com I just checked and it doesn't look like they have released their schedule for this year yet. If I hear anyting I will be sure to tell you. I plan on going this year as well. I wanted to go last year, but I had two exams that next Monday and I thought it would be better to actually study for something that I actually get a grade for ;D.

They came to JCCC last Febraury.

Boat seat the # 13, Lucky or unlucky

I have only had two trolling motors and both were Minn Kota's. Not a single problem with either. A friend of mine has a newer Minn Kota and absolutley abuses it. No problems either.

Looks pretty sweet. (the little bit you can see of it) http://www.skeetericlass.com http://www.skeetericlass.com/home.html The new horsepower ratings are INSANE!! Where will it stop. How fast do you really need to go. Think there will ever be speed limits on lakes?

I think KVD is well on his way and will be the Greatest Angler if this debate ever goes on again when he is their age.

Good. I am glad to see Clunn get it. Roland Martin seems like he is a jacka$$. Don't know him personallly and have never met him, but that's the vibe I get from watching him on TV. No doubt he is a great fisherman though.

Either way that someone won't be going fishing with me again, but someone breaking a rod of mine by misuse would reallly tick me off. Thanksgiving day football games or New Years games

Exactly. What to use: anything really. I am partial to C-rigging creature baits and 6" Dingers/Senkos.

I fish a lake kind of like your describing. Only structure is weedline around the whole lake and docks. Where the weedline and docks meet in the shade produce for me all summer long. If I am catching a bunch a peanuts I then put the boat in the weedline, start heading out towards the middle of the lake and find the first break line on my depth finder. Make a mental note or throw out a marker bouy of where that breakline is. Use that break line as if it were the shore. Where deep water swings closest to the bank will also produce. This is for largemouth. Never fished for small mouth.

I had a great night. ;D http://bassresource.com/cgi-bin/bass_fish/YaBB.pl?board=Outing_ID;action=display;num=1122215254;start=0#0

Looks good to me. That might drive you nuts to look at everyday though when there's ice on the lake ;D. I will be buying a house here in the next couple years and I am planning on doing an office/computer room something like you got.

This topic was brought up on another message board I visit from time to time. I was thinking about upgrading to the Insider so I could watch those videos and they advertise they have extensive lake maps for lakes big and small all over the country. I am glad I didn't. A guy on the other board joined and apparently the movies are about 30 seconds to a minute long and the extensive lake maps aren't so extensive. He wrote a letter to ESPN and they refunded him in full. I still enjoy getting Bassmaster Mag and Bass Times every month. Aren't they about a $1 an issue if you are a member? That's a pretty fair price IMO.

I wacky rigegd a 7" Dinger the other night and caught that 4 lb'er. Why not a 9"?

Spring, doesn't get any better than site fishn IMO. Your fishng in a Buddy Tourney, you have one peanut in the livewell and there is 10 minutes until weigh in and you know that you are not going to finish in the money. On your next cast you hook into a 30 lbs. flathead on 10 lbs test. Do you: A. Cut your line any try to catch a late bass or two or B. Fight the flathead and head home with a good dinner

I can't pull a boat with an old muscle car. If I had to choose one it would be a modern truck although I would love to have both. Truck as a daily driver and an old muscle car in the garage. Yankees (baseball team ) Lovem or hatem

I made my first night trip lastweek and I did a little research myself. You can look through the post in this section. There were actually a couple different post. I also posted my results from both nights in the Outing section. Anyways, I read that bass have a lot better sight than us at night, but their eyes take a lot longer to adjust. The articles also estimated that in the months of July and August, 90% of a bass's activity for the day will be between 12:00 am - 5:00am. I found both times I went that fishing was excellent between 1:00am and 2:00 am, then turmed off for a while, and then again at 4:00 am until sun up.

VERY LOW!!!!! I think I remeber reading in Mike Ike's book that he has expenses alone of around $100,000 per fishing season. That number is going to be even bigger now with the expanded schedule. And if you consider the guys that fish the Federation tournies professionals, then that number is even lower. Less than 1% ??? just a guess. The odds are definelty stacked against you,

Oh man. I hope they start making them in different colors. Those colrs are pretty weak IMO. I need those in Black and Blue and I have a date with the lake at night. It will be interesting to see what that fork tail does to the action. Can't wait to get my hands on them.

never used Mccoy, but I have heard good things. Have to go with Trilene XL. It's the smoothest casting line I have used and I have tried quite a few. Snakes, the devil's creature or God's creature
