That excuse never works. Trust me and my long list of ex-girlfriends.

I learned to fish topwater baits with a Heddon Spook and once you get the cadence down its pretty easy.

One week till the opener of the big one in my area. Hope the weather doesn't get too bad. I'm planning to go twice. Once on SB Sunday, I've found it isn't that crowded on that day and hopefully on Thursday. Even though they don't have much in the way of fishing stuff they have something almost as good. THE HALL OF GUNS! Almost every gun company in the US and some outside the US. Think "Shot Show" on the eastern part of the country. Every type of gun you could think of is there. From .22 derringers to .50 caliber rifles. Can't wait. The only cure (outside of fishing) for cabin fever.

Let me guess....webbed feet?

Had a really bad experience with snap swivels once and never used them again. The snaps kept opening and I lost several lures in fishes mouths. I know some people use them but I never will.

Yea, I gotta stop multi-tasking cause it never ends well. I'm making dinner and trying to find a good Bday present for my nephew all while trying to catch up with the forum.

You are right. My bad. Confused 2001 with 2011. The lizard people haven't gotten to me yet. The tin foil hat stops them.

Have you googled it? 2012 SB winner was the NY Giants, 2011 was the Packers. I thought you were going for a NY connection with the whole Sept. 11 thing? Unless you are saying they Lizard People accurately predicted the Packers would win the SB and Aaron Rodger's rise to stardom?

Huh? What now? Actually it was the NY Giants but continue. Oh and 5 years after Hurricane Katrina hit NO the Saints won the SuperBowl. Cowinkiedink, I think not!

Well my picks were drawn out of a hat and here is the hat to prove it.... let's see who wins this. Now its personal!

Better and warmer days...

Something like this happened to my granddad once...*stalls while he thinks up a story* he was in France during the war. France, Ohio working on the railroad. It was about 2 a.m. and granddad had been at work for 16 hours laying down track and inspecting beams. As he and his crew were finishing up a section of the track he looked into the distance toward a shack with a junction and he couldn't believe what he saw. A tall figure with two burning red eyes looking right at him. The figure was carrying a lantern glowing and pulsing a deep blue. Granddad stood there in silence as he heard a whisper in his ear, calling to him to come closer. He started to walk towards the figure, almost zombie like, his brain hypnotized, his body moving as if under some spell. As he got closer the tall figure seemed to get more distant as if he was moving away from it. Finally the bewitchment was gone and Granddad was standing next to the shack. He peered into the dusty window of the old, dilapidated hovel and saw a child's toy. He opened up the door, took two steps inside and stepped on a rusty nail. It later got infected and he lost four toes but they saved the final toe. Weird...yea but at least he kept the pinkie toe. Moral of the story.....Always watch where you are walking and don't listen to strangers. How much longer till spring?

I think you are close but in my opinion the rams won't score that many and the Pats will jump out to an early lead and put the pedal down. I got the Pats 45 and the Rams 20. Having said that, I'm rooting for the Rams to win.

I've only fished Nockamixon a few times with no real success. I know there are a few videos on youtube about the lake. I'd start there. Second, I would consider timing. It really is everything. Most of the successful reports I've heard of the Nock has been during spring and fall. Also consider fishing at night. Bass in summer are more active at night due to them being predators. Other than the few words of advice, I can't really help but I hope you find the answers you need here.

I gotta say that is funny and has a great amount of creativity.

You won't catch me throwing $25 baits. Not when I can buy 5 baits for that much.

My point is the Saints shouldn't have left it in the hands of the refs. They have a HOF QB and a incredible roster of talent. That no-call shouldn't have mattered.

I don't even want to know how much you paid for all of that!

Can't blame the refs. The Saints had to win the game and came up short. There were a couple of calls that could have been made but that is how all games go.

Shockingly we were spared the 8-12 inches they initially predicted. We ended up with less than 2 inches and lots of rain. Today they are calling for flurries and temps falling.

I fished there once from shore and got blanked. Just a quick search on the web says there are good bass in there but this is rumor. If you're curious and don't want to spend the $100 bucks for a yearly mooring spot ($150 for non-county residents) you could always rent a boat & TM for a couple hours and give it a go.

Listen, are you trying to start trouble here? There is no need to go throwing around negativity like this on a forum like this one.

Nice haul. I use those Hard Heads to drag plastics through sparse grass. My go to lure for that is a 8 inch ribbontail worm. Bass love it.
