Ordered today, Risto Rap RR8 in Clown.

I was reorganizing my tackle room today and found these Terminator CyberFlex baits in a forgotten box. I sure wish they still made these, I caught a lot of bass on these baits, especially the black ruby lizards and creatures. They still look new and are still soft, even after 10+ years...I'm going to have a little fun with these this year.

X2 for Aunts Creek.

I've used oxy clean on my tackle bags, boxes, and you should see what it does to boat carpet!

X4 for KVD line conditioner...can't beat it.

Number 4!! I barely made it with two. Congrats are in order. Cherish every day you have with them, and when one of them looks up at you with those big sad eyes in the middle of summer and asks you to take them fishing...don't you think twice about calling in. You just tell the boss the First Sergeant gave you a pass! <g>

Not asking for a pass. The word "lie" just stuck me wrong...my original post was meant to be funny and I would like to keep it that way. My boss is also my neighbor and he probably couldn't count on two hands the times he has walked out to his vehicle and has seen my boat hooked up to the truck or kayak loaded. I never lie to my boss when he asks me if the fish were biting. Oh, noclue...my coworkers do not have to pull up any slack from my absence, just the nature of our work. And as far as the lessons I learned serving my country...priceless. Now, I think I'll have that drink now MCS...ooops, don't drink. How about a cup of coffee instead? I'm going to pull out a couple of lake maps and plan my trip for Monday, just in case the weather is nice. You wanna come...or are you out of sick days? LOL

Oh....I smell a topic that is going to be locked soon, but before it is, I feel I'm entitled to a defense. First, my employer came to me and asked me to work for them. I had not worked for 4-5 years since retiring. Yes, retiring after 24 years of military service where I saved enough money to build a home and provide for my family for the rest of my life. While you were enjoying your freedom and way of life, I was serving my country in far away lands, away from my family and learning the true meaning of integrity, duty, and honor. When I called in that particular day, I was 1) actually sick of work and 2) sick of working for a multi-billion dollar company who holds numerous state and federal contracts and whose CEOs lie and cheat their way to multi-million dollar bank accounts while their minimum wage workers are applying for food stamps to feed their kids. Before you say it, no, I don't have to work for this company, my wife and I can survive without it with my government pension that I know I have earned. I do like the pay I receive from this company, it buys me all those Megabass lures that I love to use when I call in. Should my employer ever tire of the service that I provide them, they have every right to can me, but know this, I will not beg for my job, my electricity will not be turned off, my wife will have a roof over her head, and we will not starve. Now, what's the forcast for Monday...I might want to call in...just sayin. I work with the 47% and I approve this message.

If you call in sick on a Tuesday, make sure you don't find your picture in the paper on Wednesday. Everyone at work was poking fun at me that day...even the boss.

Maybe we should start a support group...."Hello everyone, my name is flipin4bass, and I'm a Rage Aholic."

If you are wanting to achieve the distance flipping and pitching that a traditional boat provides then yes, having a kayak that allows you to stand is a must. However, a kayak allows you to get much closer to your prey so distance becomes a non-issue. I once thought that pitching and flipping from a sitting position was impossible until I saw this video. Although this guy could have done a better job of dialing in his reel, he proves that it is possible. I've spent the winter practicing pitching and flipping from a sitting position and am now able to hit a 1'x1' target from 18-20 feet. With a 7' pole, a dialed-in reel and trained thumb, and lots of practice, you'll be flippin and pitchin like a pro from a sitting position.

Best looking canoe I've seen.

Casting with either a baitcaster or a spinning rod will feel strange at first, but you'll get comfortable with it rather quickly. I've learned how to flip and pitch just last year from a sitting position and I'm having a blast. As far as hitting equipment stored behind you...you'll quickly figure that out too. I recommend looking at how other experienced kayak anglers rig their yaks, they've figured out the best rigging options and can save you time and heartache. I warn you though, kayak fishing is very addicitve, once you've tried it, you may not want to go back to the traditional bass boat.

Throw this and hold on!

If you're fishing in the Northern Hemisphere the prop turns clockwise, but if you're fishing in the Southern Hemisphere it turns counter-clockwise.

Nice, but I found my skitter pop two step to be effective also.

OMG! Jim Sammons on BR! He is without a doubt a legend among kayak anglers! Check him out at 1:00 in the Game On trailer. Jim has fished all over the globe from a kayak and has definately landed a few bass from his Ocean Kayak.

I've used all the scents mentioned on the forums, but three years ago I tried CB Hawg Sauce and I haven't looked back. CB sauce in craw flavor...bass love it!

Trident 13, the Flip camera has since been replaced with a GoPro.

The ole bait monkey bombarded me with Megabass grenades and Shimano missiles past couple of months, but I think I have the perimeter covered now. I’ve reinforced the concertina and laid out a few more daisy chains and if he gets through that I’ve got some close air on standby. Now, you were saying something about normal people...

This works on the HooDaddy, and the bass love the craw flavored sauce.

Ohhh, I don't think so...I'm getting tired of these marketing games...how about something in return...like a free dinner for two at Uncle Bucks Greasy Spoon or better yet...a discount coupon for one of those Carnival cruises.

C.A.S.T. for Kids is another option...they meet once a year at Thunderbird Lake outside of Norman. http://www.castforkids.org/programs/c-a-s-t-for-kids/

Rabbit hunting...
