Outstanding. Very clean. That should give you many more years of fun. But you might concider some wheels for the trailer. lol

Bass like stability. The more the better.

Use a lure that drags the bottom. My favorite is a Carolina rig. You should be able to get an idea of what is on the bottom and how deep it is. Is is a private lake? If it's a public lake then which one? Many of us have fished most of the public lakes in GA.

Sure, why not.

Dude change to heavy flourocarbon.

Outstanding. That's the coolest thing I've seen in a long time.

Okuma. I have had two of mine for five years and they are still a workhorse. You can't break them and they only cost around $70.

Dude don't ever look at my tackle boxes. You'll get your feelings hurt.

What are your latest accomplishments? Say, in the last two years. What can you do for them that they haven't already heard a million times?

Welcome to the forums. We are glad to have you. Where in Atlanta are you from?

Don't store them out of the package and in a Plano box. The box will warp and be worthless in just a few months. Keep them in the origional bag and store them. When I store mine in my garage I have two four drawer storage containers labeled and full. When in my boat I have put the small bags in gallon zip-loc bags and label them. Then the gallon bags go in the largest plano box they make. It is so easy to find what I'm looking for fast.

If you would like to contact your govt officials here is the easy way to do it. It took me 45 seconds. http://www.boatblue.org/takeaction.aspx

Welcome to the family.

Welcome to the family.

Welcome, glad to have you here.

The answer is yes to both. Some will return to their spot and others will find new ones. I know of a 9lb bass that has been caught on the same spot three or four times and all four times he has been released at the boat ramp 2.5 miles away.

That my friends was a brain fart. Sorry. lol

It is very difficult to find a contour map of any river. The river bottom changes so frequently that they are never current or accurate.

That's a closely guarded secret.

Welcome and here's to a great recovery. Prayers coming up.

I sent it out to Troutfisher today. I'm sorry it took me a few days. My work schedule prevented me from getting to the post office. But it's on its way.

What you caught was a Chain Pickerel (aka The Southern Pike) This is a Pike.

I'm about 33.
