Try it in July when it is 90+ in the shade. I'm sure it will work then. Then you can call it fly bait instead of bass bait.

I had my 45th. on the 14th. Got her new tires on her van. Just $700 but she did say "thank you" What more could you expect after 45 years? Nooky?

My all time favorite line for bottom contact baits was "Ironsilk" I guess very few fisherman agreed with me because it was discontinued about 3-4 years ago. I see that Berkley has brought back a "new and improved" version. Has anyone tried this new Ironsilk? Thanks.

Yup, Wisguide, -30-40 wind chill here tonight and I still have to take out the garbage. Lets hook up on PM some day and BS. Later.

Guntersville from 3/20 to 4/4,ya never know.

I have caught quite a few LM on the Mississippi (pools 9-10) with the same dark spots. I have several pictures of them but I have no idea how to post them here. They are on an old concept called "pictures" that appear on little 4X6 or 6X8 pieces of paper. They were taken with a $10 waterproof disposable camera from (gasp) Walmart. I might have had a cell phone then, but it was a phone. And that was only 6-8years ago.

99% of my spinnerbaits are titanium. I have used that 3600 Plano box forever. I think they came out about 8 years ago. I can see cheap wire spinners taking on a "set" but they can be tuned in seconds. I love that box.

Actually, I thin my 60 strand down to about 40 most of the time. I like the slimmer profile and it allows the trailer to work.

" If it doesn't have Shimano on it", I ain't buying it. I love it to the "CORE"

He got 5K and rods and reels for being picked. Do you really think that anyone could have hit that 6" hole in one pitch?

Anything that "Ish" says is self serving.

Klebs, It may only be 2 weeks until the trout opener, but have you been outside lately? Gotta love the optimist. Maybe April.

I am a long, long way from high school (50 years) however, I had a 9th. grade English teacher that forced me to spell, and punctuate properly. I have edited 3 books for a very close friend and when they went to press, none of my editing was questioned. I read 50-100 books a year and am really unimpressed with the quality of editing today. There is no reason for a 4th.- 5th.- 6th. grade student to not be able to spell at their grade level unless the teaching is not up to where it should be or "common core" has taken over.

Wow, let the hate began. " he cheated", give me a freaking break. The kid fished his heart out and caught 4 lbs. more than his closest rival. Big ole "Ish" the boat boarding Samori, kept saying " Casey" go to a jig" and guess what, he didn't and won. Cangrats, Casey.

We'll get Skeet, Ike, Bobby Lane, and the rest to give you a big group hug. Would that work?

And if I hear big Dave say " native son " one more time, I'm gonna puke in my sippin whiskey.

Now, that was funny. Don't need a joke thread for that.

The UPPERS," Ain't never gonna happin"

And that Slonezp is why we prize our herd of gurnseys, herferds, and angus. We may not have the Cali. girl image in your mind but there a few "farm girls" up here that will break your heart and besides, I've seen a whole lot of "Best of Walmart" pictures from your area that look more like bulls.

And you get paid + tip to fish. I have spent a whole chunk of money over the past 20 years with a guide. My biggest complaint is, instead of teaching, most/many of the my guides would rather just fish at my expense. Out of 20+ guides I have hired over the years, 3 maybe 4 have had my best interest at heart. That is really hard to take. Decided last year, that $700 bucks later I was done, done, done. I don't mind a guide fishing, but when I get "back boated" because of the wind and the guide catches fish and I don't even have a chance to cast? I'm on my way to Guntersville in March for 2 weeks, and for the first time in 20+ years of fishing trips my buddy and I said "skrew it" We may not figure it out, but that $700 bucks for 2 days of paying someone else to fish will buy a whole lot of sippin whiskey and gas. If I wanted to spend the time, I would outline many bad experiences on Guntersville, Toho, Big "O", Table rock, Rayburn, and KY. Lake. Ya, you get a check, but not mine anymore. Not speaking to you Kicker, just my mistake/ luck with guides.

We don't need no Redman chewin, white lightning drinkn , 3 tooth rednecks up here in Wisconsin, we got enough of our own hillbillys. LOL, all of my ancestors are all of the above .

I think covering it to the end would take away the hype of the weigh in. They would loose a lot of internet users if we knew who the winner was.

Winter doesn't suck. It keeps the fishing industry in business. Can anyone comprehend what would happen if the millions of us stuck north of the Mason/Dixon line could fish all year and would only buy what we needed when we needed it? The death of the "bait monkey" could also bring about the death of: Berkley, Shimano, Rapala, Strike King, Netbaits, and every other fishing tackle company. None of us would sit at home most nights and pour over a catalog or websites to fulfill our fantasy. BR may also suffer membership because we are fishing rather than just dreaming about it. Can you imagine the impact of global warming to the fishing industry from ice free lakes in WI., MI., Minn.,? in January? How many employee would be laid off in the fishing industry?, how many men would become "unmarried ?" I guess the lawyers would get rich but the question is "do they fish?" enough to make up loss?. This question has caused me to ponder my navel. I have an innie .

Then buy it and let us know how well it works.

I've had my best luck with a 4" GYBC single tail grub. I keep coming back to the GYBC grub because it works so well. I've tried many, many different brands but the pulse of it just seems to work the best for me. (including a buzzbait).
