I wear regular prescription glasses, but the lenses are treated so that when I get into sunlight the lenses turn dark. The brighter the sun the darker the lenses get.

I've got a rear drag Shimano Sedona. Good reel but I don't care for the rear drag to much.

One time a friend of mine had a fawn come up and start nuzzling his pockets. I guess people had fed it and it was looking for more to eat.

It depends on the weeds. If I'm fishing in mossy slop then I will throw out a 1/2 ounce that will punch through and go straight to the bottom, or a 1/8 ounce that will ride along the top. You don't want to throw mid size in moss, since it could get tangled in the moss on the way down to the bottom. If I'm fishing in something like grassy weeds, I'll throw 1/4 or 3/8 ounce jig.

I wonder if he was using braid or mono???

6" straight plastic worm.

Thinking out loud here, but an young albino LM may not last long in the wild. I'm thinking that it would stand out and be to visible to other predators. BTW, there is an albino catfish in the tank at the St. Charles BPS.

My kids look at me funny when I tell them that the song they are listening too on the radio is a remake of one from the 60's or 70's. They say that its brand new.

Women love JEWERLY.

Funny, mine says "No imagery at this zoom level". Maybe the aliens left.

Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, depending on if the lakes are frozen.

Check out the info about jigs on the Bass Resource main site under "Fishing Articles". There is some very good reading that can help you get started.

If I'm going to a deep lake I will do this too. Pulling in a deep diving crank on a medium rod can feel like your pulling in a whale.

Creme 6" grape colored worm, texas rigged with a 1/8oz. bullet weight.

I've never lost a rig, but hats, knives, and weight scales have gone over the side. I always say that my Dad and wife are in the Rod Dropper's club. My Dad knocked a rig in about 2 years ago, and my wife just plain and simple dropped her rig into the drink.

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas! I hope everyone gets what they want from the baitmonkey...I mean Santa

Reel: Abu Garcia 5600C4 Rod : 5-1/2 foot BPS pistol grip casting rod Line: 15 pound Yo-zuri Hybrid I can slow roll with this rig and run them fast just below the surface. In clear, shallow water the shorter rod lets me cast the spinner bait out from the boat and hit what I'm throwing at.

I like the original Creme worms. They are not salted so t-rigged and weightless they will sink very slowly. With a 1/8oz. weight, the front stays on the bottom and the back end usually floats higher.

Years ago I use to use wheaties, hamburger, and limburger cheese. Let it sit in the sun for an hour with the lid off.

Maybe its a mutant spawned from the local nuclear reactor?

Merry Christmas to all and to all....Lets go night fishing!!!! ;D

False. If this really did happen then Shimano would have a defective product on their hands and after a while no one would be buying their reels.

The length of my tag end depends on what my line above the bait looks like. If the line is not frayed, kinked, or twisted the tag end stays about one or two inches. If the line is all chewed up then the tag end will be about six to seven inches.

I usually start throwing jigs and 1/4 oz. to 3/8 oz. crankbaits when the temp goes into the 40-50 degree range. This year I have started using more tubes than crankbaits.
