The cold nights are killing my shallow water jig bite. They wont move up shallow until mid-afternoon. But when we have clouds or rain during the night they just stay super shallow (2 feet or less).

1.Email them 2. I just sent mine when the boat cleat ate it and had a new one in two weeks. 3. I would tell them about your dealer issue. It's supposed to be an over the counter warranty program.

Thought it was Chapman's 6-7 smallie. :-/

I would go with a 7' mh fast action for buzz baits and frogs. But if you are fishing the heavy stuff I would go even stronger. For spooks I would go with a 7' m fast. For poppers I use a 6'6" m fast.

LOL please explain why the Carrot is only good for cranking...have you not heard of or seen the 6'9 or 7'3 MH, or the 7'9 XH? They have several other MH and H actions as well that I use for jigs and frogging. And Carrots have the best warranty out of the three, a lifetime over the counter no questions asked warranty... :

He also uses "The Flipstah" if I remember correctly...

Yes occupation cannot predict suicide and there is no proof of a cause and effect relationship but there is a correlation/relationship. The other thing I would say is that that article is 8 years old. Don't know about you but we cannot use sources for science papers that are older than three years old because of how fast things change. Just what my professor said, I will ask him in my class tomorrow about where he got the info from.

No, we have old ones that they don't use anymore, most of which are private. (don't know if they are no longer fertile or what) They just stop using them X amount of years ago, the owners stocked them, and now have big fish. I think most were originally intended to hold water to flood others.

I forgot about the cranberry bogs in western RI and Cape Cod that are no deeper than 5', get ice, and put out 6-8 pound fish. A northern strain bass that is latharlgic for 4-5 months a year and hits that 5+ pound mark must be old (not sure exactly), nevermind how old a 8-9 pound fish may be. And some years we can have hot summers where the water hits the low-mid 80's in the summer and water levels can drop a foot or two and then a winter with the same water level and ice. Yet the fish can live for 10 years. So they must be able to adapt to different conditions. I would not expect one of these fish to be able to be taken out of it's environment and be able to live in crystal clear rocky water and sustain its weight and live for a good amount of time if this is done when the fish is say 4 years old. And visa versa. But raised in the environment it will. So if Hannon had started with frye and raised them in four feet of water, they could be fine.

It's all good.

No there is. Just covered suicide in my Advance Abnormal Psych class last week. They use to be number one on the list and are now number four on professions with the highest rates of suicide.

Trilene 100% flouro. Fished Husky Jerks and Smithwick's in 30mph winds Saturday... no backlashes with the Revo. Oh what a day... ;D You could make life really easy and save your arms, shoulders, and wrists and go to flouro on a spinning rod...

I would like to see someone other than Hannon replicate the study. It made me think that we have one large lake in RI that it a large puddle with one small 5' wide feeder stream, doesn't get deeper than 6' 95% of the year and by June/July the water temps can hit the mid 80's and there have been 9's and 3 10 pound plus fish taken from it on record. Plus in winter there can be 2-3 feet of ice on it.(Our state record is only 10-6 so they like to document the dd's up here) The fish will adapt and there are always exceptions to the rule imo.

Who did Tampa dump, I couldn't find anything about it? The best player they ever had if he could stay healthy...Baldelli. (RI biased). ;D No but they were a fluke and the first series of the year they will have with the Sox will prove it. They just had a bunch of guys with career years. Hey FishinDaddy, if Tampa wins the AL East, I will wear a Rays hat all of October. If they don't you wear a Sox hat...deal?

It is an awesome and very solid and smooth reel. Really love the new one piece bail. Very very good reel. Later, I'm a die-hard Abu guy but love the Symetre... :-/

Don't drink and drive, get high and fly...

Were the two discussing how to get up that eroded bank to try find a bush to go behind? Or was RW scolding Long Mike and telling him that even Muddy is better on a trolling motor than he is?

Nice... Looking at the background and the muddy water that looks like a jig-fishermans' heaven. Black jig with a blue sapphire trailer....

It's only good advice if you use it.

Lucky man...Dentists have the 3rd highest suicide rate behind psychiatrists, and hospital doctors.

This is what FAFSA is for. It shows schools what you need and such for money and it works. It will save my sister and I about 30k next year alone. The other big thing is that people are forgetting the community colleges and public schools and trying to go to private schools that cost 35k a year to be a teacher or to get a liberal arts degree. The key is to be young and just semi-successful in high school and know about financial aid stuff before you get started.

So did this exposure to mold also give you your fishing abilities? ;D

Sadly, the less money you have, the easier it is to go to school. Money will never be a factor. There are plenty of organizations and scholarships that will give you money. I also add that it isn't necessary to go to a private school. If you are trying to save money go to a community college first. Thanks for summing up my paragraph in a line.. ;D

Ummmm.. yea. Lots of people are getting jobs right out of school. If you do decent you can get a job doing whatever. I can think of a dozen friends right now who I had classes with last year, graduated, and have GREAT not good, GREAT, jobs despite the economy. Five or six of which went for business/economics/finance and still got good jobs right out of school. One of them had just under a 4.0 a is making 70k a year as a financial advisor at Met Life. If you are going for any career in justice or medicine you have people throwing money at you as soon as you get out. My girls cousin earned her degree in criminal justice with good grades and just got a job in the state court system making great money. Employers come to you. Second there are so many ways to pay for school via grants, scholarships, work/study programs, loans with little or no interest, or loans that you don't have to be paid back until 10 years after you are out of school (most of which are state or federal) it would be stupid NOT to go to college. My sister is an ok student in regular college prep courses getting a steady 3.0 in high school got accepted to Johnson and Wales University and instead of paying 22k a year in tuition, she will have just under that to pay back in loans when she graduates in 4 years. So many people don't want to, don't know what they want to do, or don;t think they can pay for college that it is making life easier for those who want to. There are more grants and scholarships available, and schools are even lowering their standards for accepting and extending deadlines to fill empty seats. Do your research and get your ___ straight because college is not as hard or as expensive as you may think.
