Tin

I wouldnt be throwing a buzzbait in Pennsylvania in March...

Dont know why everyone else gets their Girl Scout cookies so much earlier than in my area but my Caramel DeLites just got here....I just downed a box and now feel like puking..... Forget red meat....Girl Scout Cookies = Death

Also, to save money on beer... Donate blood and replace the traditional apple/orange juice with a brew. Had the effect of a bunch and you just helped people...

Why ? They will not be as tight to cover.... :-/ Throw a double willow spinnerbait until your arms fall off around grass edges and any windy banks...

If you have the money to buy a Steez setup, you can afford Sunline... ;D

6 pound Seaguar Invisx or Trilene 100% It does the trick and your drag should be loose anyway because of the types of hooks you use while drop-shotting. So it evens out...

Happy birthday Scott! Hope SML treats you right...

I always go with trailer hooks even though 95% of the time my War Eagles' hook is buried in their mouth. If you lost both at the boat I would say it wasn't necessarily a spinnerbait hook issue.... Did they jump prior to coming unbuttoned? How did they hit the spinnerbait? What kind of spinnerbait was it? Did you winch them in? (Wiching in a 3-4 pound fish along with the fishes strength will just tear a hole in the mouth and when given any slack will just fall out) :-?

I know it is a NIH study but come on.... http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/03/23/health/main4886238.shtml

It should be an amazing trip, wish I could go....who ever does go just bring a drop-shot and you will beat up on old Paulie Walnuts. (A butt plug is also recommended)

95% Physical 5% brains....just look at Burley ;D

Tubes, drop-shot, jerkbaits = Spinning Spinnerbaits, spooks, jigs = Casting

If you live on a lake it should be assumed you will have to deal with this. Just like jet-skis at sunrise when you want to sleep late or people blasting music at all hours of the night.

Thanks, had a brain freeze.

I really thought they were going to knock them off. Had UNC going down in the second round again.... But they didn't screw me half as much as WV.... dam you Jimzee...

That was why, cant remember who the first was but I know Gary Klein had something to do with it as well.

They will end up coming to you....

I had a guy take the flag pole off his house and used it like a spear to throw at me after telling him he didn't own the water and catching a fish from under his dock. If they don't have a gun, I will keep fishing and usually I just ignore them.

For shakey heads I like the 6'7" Medium spinning LTX

I love my 6'9" MH LTX for casting towards cover (logs/docks), it is just short enough and I love my 7'3" MH LTX for windy, wide open, water. I throw 1/3oz Mepps to 3/4oz War Eagles and it always feels good to me. Both rods have Revo S's on them.

great seinfeld reference Married with Children? :-?

They are even better on Scrounger Heads.... :-X

I'm in 100% agreement with Tin. 8-) Get the f out of here!!!! ;D

The ***......666 ;D Whatever you do, do not name him Mike (Mother and Grandmother say we are awful), and you never want to be thinking about Long Mike.

Didn't take it that way. Actually the water was a little clearer yesterday than it has been and you could see empty empty beds in 5' or 6' of water as well as in the shallows. Like I said I'll keep watching for any more bass on the beds. Tin, the problem I have with going out throwing blades and cranks around is I always end up throwing a worm at the bank. It's not like I don't catch fish, which is sort of the problem. Since I know I can catch fish wacky rigging shallow that's where I end up probably 50% of the time I'm on the water. I pitch at the pads a lot but I would like to become a more versatile fisherman. I've hardly ever thrown a Carolina rig and never did the drop shot thing. These are the things I intend to work on this year. That is 90% of peoples' problems imo. Get off the bank, force yourself to fish offshore stuff. The fish are less pressured and you will probably see an increase in your average size. It's not all about catching fish in my book, it's learning. And by getting off the bank you will learn to fish off-shore stuff and catching fish while doing it, you will increase your abilities. You will also be able to use what you learn on this lake and apply it to others.
