It's about time! Think Rafeal Palmero is next? I remember him outraged and saying how he had never used steriods then the next you knew he was suspended for being on the juice.

How about towing a boat and avoiding deer/other wildlife? I need some help in that department.

Digital hands down. Hard to get used to though because of fast it responds.

BassFishingMachine is also right about more quality fish. Last year when I fished a lot of finesse fishing and spinnerbait fishing my average tournament fish was 1.54. This year I fished the jig a lot more and that tournament average went up to 2.32. Thats almost another 4 pounds for 5 fish. That is a HUGE difference.

I dont know but I dont think his parents were the same species. lol Does kind of look like a peacock with brownie sides.

Ok I'm definatley going to fish the FLW BFL event next year on Lake Champlain out of Plattsburgh, NY. because I want to start fishing bigger bodies of water and to get out of my back yard. But it is June 21st which is also my last week of classes, so that means I have finals and no time to prefish. I talked to to few people and my mom and should be able to borrow a bigger boat and a bigger truck. I have am very comfortable fishing Champlain and have lots of areas. But my spots are all near Ti or up by Canada so I will have atleast an hour run and its a gamle because I dont know if they will be there. So should I take a chance and fish it as a boater even though I wont be able to prefish or just suck it up and fish from the back of someone elses? Any input...

Wish my next semester consisted of classes like that instead of Ancient Southeastern Civilizations and Calc 2 >

Because of the temperatures is the grass still living? If not and it is not putting out O2 then you should try to target something else than the grass. What else does the lake have for cover? Stick-ups offshore, drops, anything?

I'm from RI and whenever there isnt ice on the lake, and the water temp is under 60 I will cast the trap till my arms fall off for two reasons. One is that if they are gorging on baitfish they will destroy it and two even if they are latharligic, the trap allows you to cover A LOT of water so eventually you will run it by a few fish that will react to it. And as soon as the sun gets up those fish WILL push shallow to warm up. I catch 95% of my fish this time of year in 3 feet of water or less. You can throw a shallow diving crank around stumps, logs, rocks, docks, ect. In a tournament I was fishing around this time last year the h2o temp was 44* and the sun was out. The fish had moved up to about six inches of water, they were just infront of stumps along the bank. You could acctually see their backs out of the water. So dont rule out going shallow this time of year.

Ok jig hits will usually always occur on the drop, swimming back to the boat, or after making contact with cover/structure (wood, rock, post of a dock ect). It can be extremely frustrating to learn because you think everything is a bite and even when you great really good at impact jig fishing you will still set on logs and such. I had the oppurtunity to fish with Tommy Biffle a few years back who has made a living fishing a jig and guess what though you dont see it on TV, pros set the jig into logs and such. It is very hard to fish but once you get confidence, it will be the only lure you want to fish.

-When everyone skips on the last day of classes or the day before April Vacation and they are recovering from hangovers and still sleeping, you are trying to get fish to come up on a buzzbait.

Thats one of my winter ponds too. You can always go there and catch fish. Great little place. Ramp is a little nasty though, had a few bad experiences with that.

Fishing always beats sitting on the couch or just doing nothing. Fish one of two ways, slow down and finesse fish or go for reaction bites using a rat-l-trap, spinnerbait, ect. Also when is the front coming through? Usually from 6 hours after the front goes through until 24 hours after is when fishing usually gets tough, while the front is in the progress is passing fishing can be at its best. Dont always think that just because of the changing conditions fishing will be brutal. My experiences anyway. good luck and stay dry

not about the quality, but about their warranty, heard a few horror stories. Depending on how the river runs, a tin boat or a boat with a jet engine. As for fiberglass, Skeeter, Ranger, Champion, Bass Cat, they are all good. Depends if your looking for stability, speed, storage ect. ect... A LOT about purchasing a boat is the dealership or marina you buy it from.

Ok, blessed it with Low Budget Holy Water and used it most of the time out. Wasn't able to bring any fish in the boat with it but WOW! Put it this way, it is the only rod I will from this point on or unless the Mad Rod Scientist comes out with something even crazier.

2 split rings instead of one allows the trebles to swing a full 360* around so it is much harder for the fish to throw the bait or have the trebles tare in the fishes mouth. Where as 1 = 180* of rotation.

It amazing how the fish can turn off like that. Notice its always after you hit them good and you are expecting them to be as cooperative as they were the day before if not even more. But thats fishing, lol. Any reason why they shut down? cold front...

Remember the usually on see the bottom of a topwater. Clear with rattles is always my favorite. And definatley do what t-rig said about replacing hooks, on the bigger versions put on 2 split rings to connect the body to the hook.

There is a lot of good smallie areas in CT. I have been fishing Pachuag a lot for smallies and have got a few in the 4-5 pound range in the past month. A guy I was fishing with a few weeks back dropped one a few feet from the boat the was all of 6 if not bigger. But there are other great smallmouth fisheries in CT, most tourney's at Candlewood it will take an 8 fish limit of smallies for 25-30+ to win in the spring and fall. Also the Conntecticut River is just amazing. Especially north of Hartford, but it is nasty to run in a boat. The guy that won the Eastern Divisional there used a jet-boat to run north because of how shallow it gets. The Enfield area is supposed to be the best though.

Carrot stix arrived I bought the 6'7" spinning version and I'm amazed how light 3.2 ounces really is. Feels great with one of my Abu Cardinals on it. But the bulldog is affraid of it and just snorts at it... Hope it isnt a bad ***. lol

Bomber fat free. Also know of a guy who has won a couple tourney's on Champlain with big bags of smallies fishing a shallow diving crankbait carolina rigged and fished in 25-30 feet of water.

Rods-Break them on bluefish Reels and Takcle States Youth B.A.S.S. or TBF program.

Posted on: Today at 8:40pm They look super yummy but I think you been watching too much Martha Stewart. Everyone has a little secret thing they do when the ice comes in.

Does anyone know if by burning the line you make it weaker in other spots. Like within a couple inch section up from where it was burned? Always wondered...
