That's cool was it a school or personal thing?

Happy Birthday!!

I haven't done it this year YET but many times in the past.

They all look great but I like that bottom one alot.

That's pretty awesome the way that happened.

And Jaymc just hitting the edges is how the guys that won almost every week in the tournaments I did this summer pulled it off. But on that same line they do tend to move further into the weeds as the summer progresses. Also, I plan on looking away from the weeds this summer. They can't all be there. Most guys I fish with/against only go to the weeds. If I can find them on some little break or hole I'd have an unpressured popolation. The trick there would be pulling off alot.

Well Muddy I'd have to disagree I think handlebars on a PWC would be an a great flipping target.

Hey Muddy I can't imagine someone putting cinder blocks out on the ice. ;D Thats something I had thought about. There's a really nice flat on this one lake that always has a few 12" fish one it. Just pass through with a crank and they're there. I figrue some since they are there maybe add something to get the big guys to come in. And I have access to a rather large pile of block and bricks.

Yeah you both definitely hit this one head on. Most of the small lakes are this way with very few having any real wood. About the only time I see wood is when I head down to Southern Illinois. It's all about the weeds and docks. Unless I target some of the bigger lakes when I'm in Michigan rock are basically nonexistant. Mostly sand, muck, or mud bottoms. However, this year I do plan on spending a decent amount of time looking for something liek a lone rock that someone might have put in the lake. Jaymc, if you go around the weed edges you should be able to find a few lone wolves even when they are back in the weed beds. Sometimes you do get lucky and find some humps like Muddy said, but the majority of the lakes I target are either big bowls or some are generally a bowl but with a few deep holes. It would be cool to see some article in Bassmaster that relate more to our lakes. bassdocktor

Thanks Muddy. I guess the ones I bought were left overs since I picked up one about a year ago. That would explain why I haven't seen anymore at that store.

I've picked up 2 Fenwick Ventures from Walmart that are both nice. They cost between $40-50.

Mrs. Matstone and Dean what type of sleds do you two have? My dad and I just got into snowmobiling with 2 2000 Polaris sled. His is a 500xc and mine is the 500xcsp. Both came with just about 1000mi on them. bassdocktor

Those are some good looking fish.

Those are pretty cool.

Hey GeorgiaSpotSticker I posted something like this similar about 2 years ago. Here's the link to the post. http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1142702871 bassdocktor

I've got all 5 and while maybe the informations isn't what some desire but what you see is pretty cool.

Amazing

That sounds pretty cool. It'll be awesome to see those. What a shame sticking a 9 or 10lber.

You could always join a Federation Nation club and you'd get it as part of your membership.

Sounds like a good day.

Those were some pretty cool pictures. Nice to see whats under you.

I really don't think the spray washes off that quick but I guess it depends which one you are using. I use the Bang Garlic mostly to cover up anything I may transfer. You can take my worm/jig or whatever and it still smell quite awhile later even after flipping for a long time. My experience is more limited with something like Smelly Jelly but my partner this summer was using that in crawfish and I could smell it in the back of the boat the entire day. He only applied it once and it was definitely coming off the jig and not something like a towel or him. Honestly, I don't think it can hurt you might even help. But do a search, there have been several on going posts here in the last year.

I didn't see that coming either.

Those are some pretty cool paintings.

Never saw that but I like when the throw stuff like pure sodium and potassium into water and explodes or runs on the top of the water but on fire. Pretty cool and there are videos of it on youtube.
