Or maybe they were small panfish.

I would go online and find out as much as you can about the stream and any surrounding bodies of water that you might be able to fish. You can plan your attack and limit disappointments at the same time.

Restaurant reviews for the new diner on the moon claim the food is okay, but there's no atmosphere.

Thanks for posting mn fisher

I didn't want to believe he was stealing from his job with the road commision - but when he opened his garage door, all the signs were there.

I now keep a marker on the dash. After one of my bud knocked a spin outfit overboard in 5' water in heavy wind. If i had a marker handy we probabally would have got it back.

The earth's rotation REALLY makes my day..

They're $16 now? I paid that for 2 (many years ago). I had to replace the trebles from stock, i hope they come with better hooks these days..

I have used the cap from certain bottles to do the same. Just drill a hole and thread it on. Not as good as Ajay's set - up, but it works and costs nothing.

$480 for 1 year's worth of baits? Sheesh!

My pb lm came on a perch ssr. Lm can eat fish up to 40 percent of their length, so a 6" ssr can be eaten by 16 "er - no problem. They may be too big for smallies though...

I really don't eat freshwater fish. I know that i'm missing out on some good eats, but i don't like to fish for panfish, and the lakes i fish don't have many (if any) walleyes. I have read that if you are taking fish to eat there are a few steps to keep the fish tasty. Bonk them dead with a mini baseball bat and throw them in a cooler (with ice) on top of newspapers. Not directly on ice. A long slow death (as kept on a stringer, or in a "livewell") allows time for the juices they use to try to stay alive taint the meat. It sounded logical to me, and if i ever do plan to eat some, thats how i would do it.

Well, my thought is if Glen gives him this avenue, he should be thankful and participate more.

True, but i read about more complaints with weld cracks than bad rivets on new or very young boats. I am just saying don't think that you won't have problems with a welded boat, or that welded is any better than riveted. Good luck with whatever boat you choose, i am sure you will love it WPC.

Many a smallmouth got away at the boat because of the hesitation with treble hooks - no net.

I know that, and i love Bill, but i can't give him a free pass on the way he handles those giants. I have a signed 9"x 12" photo and his bobblehead. I am a nut!

I have a 7' bps tourney special med. power / moderate action b/c rod that i still use today for cranks. It's gotta be 30+ yrs old. I liked the "power hump" back then, now, not so much.

Speaking of Bill Dance...i always cringed when i see him jack the jaw of the fish he catches. Somebody of his stature should know better. It's almost disgusting...

Nothing wrong with riveted boats. My "cheap" '96 grumman has rivets and no leaks yet. I guess you don't travel by air either. ?

It may have saved you the aggravation of countless casts with no bites. ? Just kidding..i've wacked tails off of a few paddletails myself. But i wouldn't admit it publicly...

That's what i thought this topic was about. I wanted to see the new jumpsuits.

Not many options for what you've described. Maybe wake baits or floating jerks, but frogs and weightless plastics are your best bets. Or find different waters to fish. Everyone would like to fish the lures they like, but usually you have to fish what the conditions you are faced with.

Cajun food..overrated (sorry catt). Everything: overrated

Bummer...i always looked forward to the coverage of ICAST, not that i really need anything new, but fun to look at the latest/ sometimes greatest stuff available to us. C'mon world....get your stuff together.

I started a band and called it 999 megabytes. We can't get a gig!
