Super User Fishing Rhino Posted May 30, 2012 Super User Posted May 30, 2012 Nice fish Tom, what were you using at the time... This is a test to see if that ole grey matter is still functioning. And what bridge is that in the background, I'd like to try that spot come May. It amounted to a shaky head rig. I had a Jackall Wacky Jig Head, 3/32 ounce, with a four inch Strike King Elaztech Finesse Worm, coppertruese color. I did not rig it weedless since the hook has a wire weed guard. I entered the hook at the center of the head, and exited the hook so the head of the worm was snug against the tunsten weight. A drop of Locktite Super Glue to hold the worm in place. That's it. I had switched to the Buckeye Flick It hook in the same weights. They are much cheaper, and with the football head, don't hang up as often when fishing in rocky bottom. But, alas, Massachusetts has banned the use of lead in fresh water. So for around here it's going to be the Jackall or the Inichi wacky jig heads. They have tungsten heads. They also are about seven bucks for a three pack. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted May 30, 2012 Super User Posted May 30, 2012 Tom, was I right about the bridge in the background, or am I the one loosing it...... Jeff Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted May 30, 2012 Super User Posted May 30, 2012 Well, this has been a remarkable year. More double digit bass have been caught since last October than the combined total in the history of the lake! Pickwick has never been considered a "big bass" lake. On the otherhand, if we're talkin' 'bout smalljaws, this is a "HUGE BASS" river system. In addition to some size, the lake produces big numbers on occasion. My best day ever was with WMD on the 2010 RoadTrip: 78 one day! The following day we didn't have quite the numbers, but both of us scored numerous 5lb+ fish. BTW, we weren't even in contention with Big O and the soldiers: 144 smallmouth during the worst storm you can imagine and two PBs! If you're going to refer to my buddy get his name correct. It's Bill Dinky. WM DinKY. Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted May 30, 2012 Super User Posted May 30, 2012 Tom, was I right about the bridge in the background, or am I the one loosing it...... Jeff You are correct, and I am facing the lodge at Pickwick State Park. It's a good deal. If you want to grab dinner, the buffet at the lodge starts serving at four. Tie up to their dock and have dinner at a window where you can keep an eye on your boat and gear. Wolf down some chow and back to the river for more fishing. Can't get any better than that. Quote
Dinky Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 If you're going to refer to my buddy get his name correct. It's Bill Dinky. WM DinKY. Oh what a big difference a couple of little spaces make in a name. Quote
scrutch Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Oh what a big difference a couple of little spaces make in a name. You did it to yourself when you wrote out that name tag. I don't think this one will go away. It's too good. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted June 5, 2012 Super User Posted June 5, 2012 Dinky Is Born! Mike, there is no way around it. You must now change your handle to Dinky. Quote
Dinky Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 Dinky Is Born! Mike, there is no way around it. You must now change your handle to Dinky. No way!! Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted June 5, 2012 Super User Posted June 5, 2012 Hey Dinky, you been catching anything good lately? Anything PLUMP? Jeff Quote
scrutch Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 What I'm wondering is if 00mod just exercised his new mod powers and made the name change for Mike. If so, then great job Jeff! Way to take the initiative! FULL SERVICE right there boy! Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted June 5, 2012 Super User Posted June 5, 2012 I have no clue what you are talking about........... Jeff Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted June 6, 2012 Super User Posted June 6, 2012 Attaboy Mike! You actually changed your handle! We'll be talking about this for years. Quote
oteymc Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Wow, I haven't been on here in a while - good to see you all giving each other heck! I think doing a Wed - Mon trip is great! I hope I can make it, had a great time at KY Lake the couple of days I was able to go. Quote

Super User Fishing Rhino Posted June 6, 2012 Super User Posted June 6, 2012 Three dinkys caught by Dinky last week in Buffalo Basin. Around here we call fish like those ............................................bait. Quote
Dinky Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Around here we call fish like those ............................................bait. Yes, but at least I didn't chop it into tiny pieces and boil it in milk and call it 'chowda'. 2 Quote
scrutch Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Yes, but at least I didn't chop it into tiny pieces and boil it in milk and call it 'chowda'. Touché. Quote

riskkid 2 Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Three dinkys caught by Dinky last week in Buffalo Basin. Pretty nice haul Mike....and as I recall you caught em pretty good on the road trip....I think I'd demand fixing your handle along with some heartfelt apologies!! Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted June 7, 2012 Super User Posted June 7, 2012 ...I think I'd demand fixing your handle along with some heartfelt apologies!! Not gonna happen from this guy!!! Jeff Quote
Dinky Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 If you want to see what the largemouth look like at Pickwick, check out my pic on the Home Page with Tom Branch. Yes, it is none other than Dinky with some dinky largemouths at Pickwick. Or, as Rhino would say--nice bait. Quote
Broke bass fisherman Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Is this open to all? This sounds like fun. Quote
