Is it "how much the bag weighs" or "how much the bag weighs with all the gear?"

I went to the bridge tonight for a little Snook action. I got there about an hour before high tide and to my surprise was the only one there. The weather wasn't great. Not a ripple on the water and NO breeze. Humidity had to be in the 90's. The sweat was dripping from my chin but I wasn't leaving. There was a ton of mullet around but very few blasts, which isn't a good thing. I managed to get this dink on live shrimp. I was fishing #17 mono with no leader. (I know, I'm a retard) The tide changed and started going out so I moved to the other side of the bridge. I looked down along one of the pylons and there she was. She was a beauty. Too big to keep but would be a heck of a fight. She had to be around 30 pounds. She would come to the surface, look around and go back down. I spent a good hour trying to get her to eat but no dice. She knew better. I tried live shrimp and mullet but she just wasn't interested in a tiny appetizer, she wanted a feast. I managed to catch a lady fish about 14 inches long. I thought to myself for a moment and said "why not?" I was using #30 Ande mono with 4' of #50 flourocarbon leader and a 5/0 mustad hook. I hooked the Ladyfish on the top by the dorsal fin and started laughing because my hook was way too small. I eased her down infront of that monster Snook and she attacked it within seconds. I set the hook and pulled the scaleless, lifeless Ladyfish right out of her mouth. I catch another Ladyfish about the same size but this time I hooked her in the air bladder (throat). She dives straight down and all of a sudden.. BAAAAAM. I get freight trained. I could barely pull my drag out by hand but this snook was peeling it off like my reel was in free spool. All I could do was just hold on and cross my toes. She gave me a good 5 second adreniline rush before applying her gill plates to my #50 leader and popping me off. I simply smiled, blew her a kiss, and came home. I'll be back tomorrow night but this time my reel will be spooled with #50 Ande and #80 leader.

I may have misread your post but is appears your principal is trying to scare the student body into behaving by threatning them with the police. The principal does not write or enforce the laws of the state and I'm sure law enforcement is not going to violate the 4th ammendmant at the requestof the principal or anyone else. The 4th ammendmant applies to everyone regardless of age. Your employer may search your desk, computer or locker without notice if those items belong to the company. But as far as just stopping a car to do a random search because the principal said so ain't gonna happen. Or if it does happen, then I hope there was probable cause to do so or someone could be in BIG doodoo.

Yo Korea_Bassin, You are doing a great job updating the list and keping track of the lure. Many thanks goes out to ya....

any word on the lure from Simon Says?

Take a chill pill YANK>

but who cares......

Trash. Unless you need to be cleaned out.....

Don't get any better.

What a bunch of freaks. Let these people be a warning to youngsters- Stay away from drugs.

Re-entry is not easy, especially when you can't touch bottom. It was about 20' deep where I was at. But the thought of the gators lurking was enough to motivate your ARS into getting in the boat fast.

First of all, I haven't been bass fishing in about 2 months and it has been longer since I had the boat out. Hurricanes Fay and Ike have brought some gusty winds which have prevented me from comfortably fishing, not to mention work has been very busy. Today was the nicest day I have seen on my day off in a LONG time so I decided to take my son out for a couple hours fishing this evening. We get to the lake and unhook the boat. We rig our rods and get everything situated and then decide to sit in the truck and eat our sandwiches before launching. After eating, I decide to show my son how to back the trailer up and launch ( He'll be 16 in a couple weeks). So here I am giving him instruction and yapping away when I realized I backed the trailer in too far (for this particular home made ramp) and accidently floated the boat off the trailer. The boat drifted about 30 feet from shore before I could get out of the truck and empty my pockets. My son managed to snap a few pic's as he rolled on the ground laughing his ars off. Here I sit saying "Duh, what a fricking idiot I am!"

Set the video recorder up and then tell her she's going to be a grandma.

hmmm, thats tough... A country boy can survive. By Hank Williams, Jr.

Here's one for ya. We say grace and we say mam if you ain't into that then we don't give a d**n. Good Luck....

chain pickerel are tasty. eat some...

Is anyone going? It's pretty fricking windy outside right now so I'm debating on fishing or sleeping. The tide is right for West Palm Beach so perhaps I'll leave the boat at home and go fish the bridges and a seawalls with artificial for a little while. Good luck to everyone who's heading out. Don't forget the pic's.

I catch them on a regular basis in the Palm Beach canal which is about 20 miles south of Jupiter.?. I bet you can get them up there. They do co-exist with large mouth and are quite the nuisance when your tournament fishing.

half of a hot dog. ;D Is that because you ate the other half?

Good one Dave....

That was GRRRRRRREAT!

I used it regularly on my Diawa Sol with #10 mono and a Loomis crank bait rod with no problems. I also used it on my Abu Premier and Shimano Chronarch 50. IMO, the lure is one of the most reliable, popular bass lures ever made.
