What fishing tackle is on your Christmas list?
I take out my favorite catalog and circle what I want. Then I leave it opened to the page and leave it on the kitchen floor. ;D

Buzzbaits/Spinnerbaits with a trailer?
There are trailers that are made for spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. But for buzzbaits try taking the skirt off and putting a Fat Albert Grub on it instead.

No Varner Hawgs, but good 'nuff
good 'nuff? That's a great fish. A trophy in most anyones book. Good job. P.S. We concider ourselves very lucky to have a lake like Varner to fish. We are more than happy to take folks from this site out there when they are in the area.

Is this change of life or what?
It's easy to carry yourself as a married man to the point that everyone knows it. I work at a large hospital. I don't wear my wedding ring due to the hazards of loosing the skin off of my finger while doing my job. But despite not wearing a ring most of my co-workers know that I am married. I do not flirt or act like I am looking and I don't let other women flirt or hit on me. I don't put myself in a situation where my values could be compromised. I take my marriage very seriously. I may sound impossible to some of you but I know it is possible for a man to cleave unto his wife and no other. I do it every day and I am a happier man because of it. For those of you who think that it is impossible, I am sorry you feel that way.

Imediate hook set?
The only time I wait to set the hook other than topwater is when fishing a worm longer than 10". But I don't wait longer than a three count.

Is this change of life or what?
Those of you that say that all men look are WRONG!!!!! Paparock is right. Not all men look. Those of us that don't look have the respect of our friends and the love of our spouse. My parents have been married for almost 50 years and my father gave me my pholosiphy when it comes to staying faithful in both mind and body. He told me that, "You can't find what you aren't looking for." So I don't look for it. We have date night every other week and family night every week. I support my wife and we work togeather to raise our children. Do we argue? You bet we do. But we don't let it go long before we make up. Lady Bass, You need to sit down and talk to him about it. Tell him how it makes you feel and don't let it slide the next time you see him do it.

Cold weather fishing- be prepared
Don't go out in a boat that is easy to tip over or has tipped in the past. For example a canoe, or a narrow jonboat. Don't over load your boat with people or equipment. Keep the deck clean and free from things that can trip you. Check the weather and the wind before leave.

*Sigh*...Here we go...again...
I hard time I always try to remember that my stuff is just that.......... stuff. It can be sold. The cable can be cut off. Cell phones and internet can be cancled. If I loose everything I still will have my family with me.

trolling for Bass
Trolling in not legal in a tournament but it is one of the techniques I use for prefishing. It is a great way to locate schools of fish and the depths they are holding. I primarily use lipless crankbaits and Rapala DT's.

best handling line for spinning gear
Triple Fish makes some spinning line that is great. It's very soft and has low memory. No matter what you do or what line you get, in time, you will have line twist there is nothing that can be done to prevent it.
