Alan, I didn't think the Dicks in Warwick or Smithfield carried Avid's. I was in there last week and they didn't have any, and I have not seen any in either since the time they opened 4 or 5 years ago. Or does one of the employees have a secret stash of them?

Alan, I'll let you mess around with some of my stuff if you want. As far as rods go, either Castaway, All Star, and since no one up here sell's Avids, Croix's premier line, you can find some for $75 Reels- Abu's Max series casting reels for under $80 are an absolute steal, me along with a few others on the board are amazed with the Pro Max. For spinning reels, either Abu 700 and 800 series Cardinals, or Shimano Symetre's.

You would be surprised how little electricity a fishfinder uses, I have mine on the trolling motor batteries and never had an issue.

Just wait until you refish the Park with it, lol. You will really notice a difference, you dont have to go get you lure out of cover, your lure takes the cover to the boat.

You dont have to worry about any of this if you use heavy braid and a heavy rod. 10/10 times if you get stuck, either the braid will break the tree, or your hook will just bend out.

Sit down, shut up, and hold on. lol Doesn't complain about bugs or the weather, someone you can learn something from (doesnt have to be a better fisherman than you), and can CAST so your not getting stuff off docks and out of trees all day.

On the other hand, I also hate when it's obvious that you pulled up to a 4 way stop AFTER someone, and that person waits there as if it's your turn and doesn't wave or flash the lights. I always think to myself, "Are you waiting for me? You got here first!" Then I start to go, and the person starts to go and we both stop, then we wait again, etc Hey Tokyo, how about New England weather? ;D

Wow Pain that is crazy $250-300, I know on Cape Cod it is going for up to and over $350. 100 miles south of you were I'am it is about $150-200, delivered.

x2, Trust me on this we own a logging company and have over a thousand 35 foot logs ready to be split in my yard. Its more work than you think. If you don't have machines than you will work yourself to death for a few hundred bucks, possibly get injured, or drop a tree wrong and cause some serious damage. Go get a job or another one.

Nice, your a true die hard. And work is for people who can't fish.

An amazing day today, it is 60 degrees out and might hit the mid sixties, sunny, no wind. And it is January. Last week we had overnight lows below 0 and a few days it didn't even hit 20. When I left work at 9am I was thinking, ok, shower, hook up the boat, pack a lunch and go on the boat. O NO WAIT! There is still ice! Got my hopes up and forgot it was January. 50's until Saturday then cold next week and possibly a snow storm Monday. Got to love New England weather. Might have some open water by Saturday though, hopefully. Sorry for the rant, Cabin Fever is really starting to take its toll. > > > >

One thing I have to say with the knuckleball heads though it lighter line like 12 pound or lighter, a medium action rod, and no braid. The hooks bend out fairly easily. I wish title-shot would do something about them. Besides the hook (the most important part lol) the design is awsome.

Round 1: Buckeyes have the better band imo.

Awsome job

x2, Traps, 1/4 oz jigs, and little husky jerks and pointers.

x2 and an LSU win

Congrats, I'm back on the 22nd. I'm planning on teaching 9-12 grade History, specifically U.S. History.

'08 Goals: 5 smallies for 15 pounds, And an 8 pound largemouth Life: 5 Smallies for 20 pounds 5 Largies for 30 pounds Smallie: 7 pounds

You said light tackle, what exactly? Techniques and baits. Also as said before stay away from the Triumph's. They are . An All-Star is a much better choice.

People just like to jump the gun without having all the facts to make themselves smarter than others. See it all the time at work, lol. HBA great job in keeping your cool in all this, I know I wouldn't be able to. 8-) Matt Fly-Wow, thats all I can say, lmao ;D

I wasn't around when the prediction thread was made but at the beginning of this year all I wanted to do was break 5 fish for 25 pounds. I did it in 3 hours (4-7pm) in July in a real high pressured lake that I thought it would never happen in. I caught 14 fish between 4-6 pounds with a few over six and countless fish under 4 pounds. I was fishing a 30 yard stretch of 6 docks with a coontail line about 20 feet off the edge of them Another big accomplishment for me this year that I never expected was the amount of quality fish I caught. From April until mid November I was able to boat 42 Largemouth over the 4 pound mark. Most of which came on a hula grub, jig, or rat-l-trap. It was definatley my best year ever. I can't wait to get going this year though.
