SPEEDBEAD.

Bobby, I got some of these on the Roadtrip and I must say they are very nice looking. Thanks again for you generosity, cant wait until the PA season picks up soon!!!

If you are always looking for the same person, you could just add them to your "buddy list" Just a suggestion.

They serve a purpose and believe it or not it is to protect the wildlife that you hold so dear. Ran into trouble before huh? I'm sorry for that, but in my experience if you werent doing something wrong in the first place, its really difficult to get in trouble. As for the guy who got a ticket above for spotlighting deer during the season....I dont know where you are located, and I dont really think it matters. Spotlighting deer during rifle season is just asking for trouble, and it is MOST DEFINITELY illegal in PA. I am really surprised at the answers from some of the posters on this thread. Not what I expected to read from some people.....

Respect to you.

I keep trying the jerk in the summer, and it just doesn't do it for me. I remain convinced that it will work. It just hasn't yet. I hear ya Gary. Typically, the jerkbait is considered a little slower technique because the time to use it is "generally" in colder water with sluggish fish. I believe he was working the bait rather fast by jerkbait standards, little or no pause. More along the lines of ripping the bait for a reaction strike as opposed to a feeding bite. I wont say it is the best bait for warmer water, but I dont believe it shuts down at a set temperature either. Wayne

I hate your job three. Dude, you are young enough to do anything you want. When you talked about surveying, you seemed like it was something you really enjoyed. Pursue it, dont take "no" for an answer.

CJ, I like the "not set in stone" idea you mentioned. As far as the jerkbait bite dying off towards summer, think back to KVD in the Classic a couple years ago, when it was the last event of the season. Rattlin Rogue put the cash in his pocket during the hottest month of the PA summer. Just goes to show, everything can work some of the time.

I know when I was really into fly fishing for trout, some of the best areas ran through the farms around where I grew up. Most of the time, if you present yourself as a respectful, responsible person, the people who owned the land would grant you access. I am a catch and release guy (trout included) but I always offered to bring them some if they would like. A few things: 1. Dont drive on their grass. Specifically ask where you can drive and park. 2. Pick up after yourself. Sure fire way to never gain access again is to leave your junk on the ground after you leave. 3. SAY THANK YOU SIR (MA'AM), whether the answer is "yes" or "no". Just by doing this, I have had a "no" magically turn into, "Well, I suppose you can go ahead and fish. Politeness goes a long way with property owners (and a lot of other people), show respect and you will likely get it in return. Wayne

Great post man. Thanks for the insight!!!!

Care to share that "finishing move" you and Supermat are referring to?

I cant think of a single person on here that will tell you to break the law to catch fish. Just not gonna happen on here. Dude, you are in FLORIDA!!!! I think you can find some other places to fish. Bottom line is that it doesnt sound like a dilemma to me at all. Do the right thing and you will feel perfectly fine about it. Wayne

Glenn, who are you waiting on? Come on fellas, I want to see all of them too!!!!

X2 I've tried all the more expensive single barrel bourbons but always come back to Makers. Sometimes I enjoy a bit of McCallans scotch. LOL You should see this guy's kitchen. More well stocked than a lot of bars in PA I think I gave about 10 "no thank you's" to different liquors before I had a beer ;D Steaks weren't too bad either

Thank you for the clarification Kent.

I believe his general statement was, "Take out as many as you think you need, and then double that number."

Man, we were just asking about you while we were at Guntersville. Good to see you are still here Jim. Take Care. Wayne

I havent been there for a couple years, but I am originally from Duncansville. I grew up fishing in that lake. Used to love night fishing down by the dam. You never knew what you would catch. You can also drop down into the Juniata River below the lake for some nice smallmouth action.

Look, let me clarify this.... If PM's were involved and the intent to not go was communicated....this is not directed to you (anyone, not just you Fishbear). Those that fell off the face of the earth, as was stated earlier, are those I was frustrated with. I had no part in the planning of this trip, so imagine how the coordinators felt. The people who feel like they need to apologize for something regarding this trip, please feel free to do so. If you did everything in your power to keep people informed, then it has nothing to do with you. I didnt ask any people for public apologies, but I dont think it would hurt IMO Like the title says, its all about consideration for other people.

No, JeremyT is right. He is one of the MANY people I was talking about. I am glad to see that he stood up and acknowledged this. So far publicly, he is the only one. That's a good start to me... Thank you Jeremy.

And I credit JJ's with me getting bit in that same school. The different colors are fun to mess around with too. Sure makes some pretty baits...

There ya go Tony... http://www.***.com/descpageHDCLUCKY-LCGDS.html

: :-? Interesting outlook on Mr Norris. Hidden issues anyone?

During the Guntersville trip last week, I had the pleasure of meeting a few of the members here. In driving almost 2000 miles with Ronnie (Alpster), I saw and heard how much hard work went into planning a trip of this magnitude. One thing stands out to me as a sour point... If you signed up to be at Guntersville, you should have been there. If you knew for a fact that you weren't going to be there, you should have communicated that fact (as many did in a timely manner). Even if you would have said an "I dont know for sure right now," at least that would have been something to go on and could have been addressed. The lack of consideration from GROWN ADULTS amazes me to no end. Hopefully you were not seriously hurt or in a coma, but is it too much to let the coordinators know where you stand? Ok, all done...

LOL, you handled ABU products twice last week....I believe my Revo has your mitt prints on it as well. VIVA LA SKUNKERSVILLE Y LA REVOLUCION!!!!!

Hmm....High Budget Hooker now eh? LOL Russ, you want to PM Jimzee on that one. You should see his wife's reel. Sick, just sick....
