Fishing flea markets
Hit your area pawn shops. Not the chains like american pawn either. They all price their stuff high. Find the lesser known shops that are individually owned. Go by and try to get to know the owners. They will cut you deals and even let you know what is coming out of the back room. I buy a lot of stuff from several and all the good buys are always completed before the merchandise ever hits the shelves.

where do you work?
I work from home. I have built a small insurance agency over the last few years and being disabled(I finally came off disability March 1) I am out searching for the elusive next new client. I have a Group 1 license as well as a series 6 & 63. I am a certified financial planner. Business is very good at this time.

Lets Brag on Your State
Heck I forgot the main one for Texas. We gave everyone George H. W. Bush. I'll let everyone draw their own conclusions as to whether that was good or bad. Remember, we don't discuss politics!!! Jack

Lets Brag on Your State
Sam, my wife is flying into Dulles and then having to drive to Fredericksburg this afternoon. Any suggestions other than to stay home? That is not an option. When is it supposed to let up and how are the roads? Texas: The lone star state. Large bass, and lots of places to fish. Average high temp for February is 62*. Roads are terrible, no state taxes, you will love the summer heat and humidity. Both average around a 100. LOL. Thanks, Jack

Financial Markets Continue To Crater
My daughter is a W/C claims adjuster for A.I.G. large group in the Dallas office. She is off on maternity leave. Hope there is something for her to come back to in May.

Here's another: When backing down the ramp to load or unload in the dark TURN YOUR HEADLIGHTS OFF!

Hard times hitting B.A.S.S Elite series tournaments.....
The area around here is flooded with circuits. I wish they would combine a few and let some of the others just go away. Any weekend you can pick from around 20+ tournaments to fish on the lakes, granted a lot are under 50 boats it is still way too many. You can also fish a tournament on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and I'm not sure about Friday but there probably is one. Too many. Yes, I fish tournaments to.

Do you do this?
Heck yes. If I'm on the road I am always on the lookout for new water.

Most money lost during a single trip....
When you fish tungsten you better count them. At todays price they are as pricy as some lures. Academy price for three 5/8 oz. is 6.12.

X2 and that was tungsten weights that got hung up in the rocks on Ray Hubbard.

I would be changing brands of line and purchasing a lure retriever. Get the one with the chains on it.

Fish Landing Technique
Flip, lip, net, or sling. Any way to make sure that fish clears the top deck and comes to rest in the livewell. Fishing is a bloodsport. It is not for the faint of heart.

Lures that DON"T work??
Dang, I'm suprised with the jig being mention so much. We may have to have a jig class. First trim the weed guard back, don't drag a jig. How's that for starters? Lures that don't work: My 18.00 Castaic crankbait that I bought in 1991. Looks great, runs true, and never been touched by anything.

Are all spinnerbaits created equal?
I fish the Terminator because they are easily found in my area. I'm not happy with them, but I just do the skirt and blade changes as necessary. I wish I could find one with the head design, blade and shaft length, and configuration I prefer, but I cannot. Guess I will keep on tearing them down and rebuilding them. As for War Eagle baits, just read my signature and you will know why I cannot tie one on.

BPS hook quality?
I never tried them, but I am happy with my Mustads and see no need to compromise on an item as important as a hook.

I need to bulk up my butt
Well you could always wear several layers of underwear. And in case you had an accident while out you could just shed the layer closest to you. I better quit now.
