SPEEDBEAD.

Awesome looking boat man!!! Make sure you inflate that right tire on the trailer.

Now we know where all the Bailout Money actually ended up! I'm Jealous!!! :) I didnt know the Mexican government was doing that too..... Raul is from the deep, deep south brotha.

Welcome to the board. Try a palomar knot. It is what I use for most of my fishing.

Down boy!!! Down... Wasnt aware.

You are going to have to spell out the website. The filters on here are preventing you from posting...

:-X Probably wouldnt be my first choice, but I cant say it hasnt produced. The spinnerbait would be better, but.... Depends on the "where"

If you are fishing in more open water, try sliding a treble hook onto the shaft of your single hook. You can use a keeper on the single hook, much like adding a trailer to a buzzbait/spinnerbait. Around the laydowns and other cover, swing up with the rod using a single hook. If you can stand it, pause when you feel the initial hit. Personally, I can't do it but it sounds good in theory. ;D

Oh, they will work. Depending on what you are throwing, they displace quite a bit of water. Bass will eat them. Keep throwing with confidence and you will hook up.

' Hello Mcfly! We have smallmouth like that. THE NEW RIVER Even the ELK and the GREENBRIER has fish of this size, maybe not the numbers of the New or Erie but they can be found Yeah i'm aware they exist, but lets see some pics of people actually holding them. I can drive to where smfisher lives(new river) and nail 1- 3lb fish for days. The 5lb+ are far and few between unless you head to one TN or Erie. Get your camera and lets go. Make sure you pick me up on the way to Erie. Fish, that is an awesome pic man. Keep em coming.

Flukes? One or more?

Apparently someone noticed...Hmm, it seems that there is no "kiss up" or "brown noser" smiley Close enough. Thanks Greg and Deb.

im sure there is a bar at the lodge. If not , there is gonna be a bar at campsite 30. Yeah, depending on the weather. LOL I remember last year thinking, "Alright, lets sit outside and have a couple beers." Then I realized if I sat outside any more, I might get frostbite.... All I know is it better be warmer in Kentucky than it was in Alabama. ;D I never expected I would see how well the heater worked in the Bass Bus.

Stop it, stop it, stop it...... I dont know if I can take another 11 days of this. ;D

I dont think I have a friend in this world that eats the 5oz of red meat per week recommended in the "study" Is it any coincidence that the gentleman first quoted in the story appears to have an Indian name? Isnt a cow sacred in that country? Just a thought...

Way to go Gavin!!! So CJ, when ya think he will win his first boat? LOL

Dont forget your neighbors to the north....

Just think Blaine, years from now we can look back and remember when there were only a few people that were in attendance... Ought to be interesting to see how big the event gets in the future.

CJ or locals....What is the closest place to buy basic groceries and is there a Walmart near there?

I know around here, you really can't beat live minnows for crappie fishing. Small jigs should also work well.

I hear ya AJ. I think my fiance dislikes Shimano almost as much as Muddy does. She's not too fond of online tackle retailers either. If I had a dollar for every time I heard, "Do you really need that?"....

The lucky recipient of this beating will then be used for catfish cut-bait. Seriously, can anybody stand waiting for these last two weeks to go by?

CJ, sounds like the swimbait might be able to produce some decent fish if the weather keeps going this way. Opinions?

We still have quite a while yet. Water temps are barely in the 40's here and with nights getting down to freezing temps, it will be a slow process. Beginning of May is a good guess. Look for 55-60 before seeing any consistent bedding.

Hmmm....hadnt heard that you were going to be there Steve. I cant wait to meet ya. First one's on me.

LOL, yeah man!!! I have my own sick skill set that was developed waaaaay before the movie ever came out. Chalk that up to being young and drunk..... ;D
