You had to bring up the 997. > Now I have to beat the baitmonkey back again.

Makes me crave spaghetti.

I thought that at first but I don't think that anymore. I will always build my rods with a spiral wrap.

You just reminded me that I haven't put together my research paper this year like I did last year. I'll get on it. They say spinnerbaits and lipless cranks work well. I'm not sure of the spinnerbait color though.

Why did they have to pare Georgia with Hawaii. I wanted Hawaii to with their bowl game to prove the BCS wrong but I'm a lifelong Georgia fan.

If someone wishes to see the slide show just remove the dot (.) that is after www. and type in slide dot (.) com.

I'm trying to fix it for you. I don't think it will be possible. We have that website banned from use on the forums for some reason. I'll see if I can get Glenn to reenstate it. I'm watching the show right now and it is awesome.

When it comes to Ryan it's all about him learning from us. He doesn't know how good he is yet. He is a very humble young man and enjoys picking our brains with every trip. I tell you. This young man is like a sponge when it comes to learning from those of us who fish with him. He has an ability to catch every little detail and then apply it instantly. I showed him how to dropshot during one or his tournaments. He turned around caught his fourth and fifth fish on a dropshot with less than two minutes left to fish. I don't know who he learned to jig fish from but I have learned a ton by just watching him.

As many of you know I'm an x-ray tech. So, yes I have x-rays of several of my cranks. I use these so I won't mess up a good bait when modifying the sound and weight of the lure. It's amazing what a silent Rat-l-trap will catch.

It will be yet another beatdown by a SEC team. LSU is going to beat OSU like Florida beat OSU last year.

Ryan, You know how I feel. I am just glad to have been a small part of this years experiance for you. It will always be a highlight for me.

He'll be to old to fish Jr. Bassmasters next year.

I don't know how FHS does it but I do know how Navionics makes their maps. They are about to make one for the reservoir in Ga that I fish on and I have been asking allot of questions to a friend of mine who is one of their reps. Navionics has a fleet of boats that go to a lake and systematically go over it with some very high dollar sonar and radar. Each boat is directly linked via satellite to their home office and all of the information is sent directly there. They use that information to create their maps. With Navionics the more you spend on a map program the better the detail you get. I have used one for Clark Hill that was in one foot intervals and it had great detail. I found humps and ditches on that thing that I never knew existed. The newest versions of Navionics is supposed to have a companion computer program so you can do all your research and waypoint organization on your home computer and then download it to your boat's system. I also hear rumor that you can adjust the water level to match the current level of the lakes you are fishing.

Now I just wish us Mods could do that to the BCS system.

I spiral wrap all the rods I build. They are, by design, better fighting rods then the standard guide placement. The lighter the action of the blank the more you notice this advantage. I don't think there are any production rods that are spiral wrapped.

Who could agree with the BCS computer. It has proven time and time agian that it is totally unreliable.

If this season doesn't prove that the BCS computers are full of crap then I don't think anything will. They really need to re-think their position.

I use Navionics paper maps. They are by far the best maps out there. Guntersville comes in three different maps. (North, Central, South) http://www.navionics.com/HMPaperCatalog.asp

Now if that don't beat all. And they are doing well in the tournament this weekend.

Lipless Crankbaits are my top producer this time of year. For the dead of winter I will switch to a jig or a leadhead fluke and work the creek channels and ditches here on Clark Hill.

Let me be the first to welcome you to our site. It's not your computer at all. The domain name *@pharm* is associated with thousands of pharmaceutical spammers who stalk the internet. We have that domain along with thousands of others blocked from this site to protect it and our members. My suggestion would be to continue using the old email account you have set up. The only time you should need it is to register anyway. We have a Personal Message feature that most members use instead of email to communicate with each other. I don't know why the Yahoo account didn't work. You may have typed it wrong when you registered. I have seen that happen hundreds of times. Is there a different screen name that you used when you tried the yahoo email address? If so please send me a Personal Message (PM) with that screen name and your yahoo address and I will see if I can help you out.

It has better action than many other topwater lures. Although I am a Super Spook man, I love a gunfish. It can be worked much faster than most other walking baits and gives more splash. It sits in the water well so it is also great for deadsticking.
