Recommend me a lifejacket.
I'm no expert in this field but there are auto inflate and manual inflate ones. I think the manual ones are useless because if you fall over and get knocked out, what good is it?

How do you qualify someone as a great bass fisherman?
More specifically, "do you judge bass fisherman based on what you see" as to whether they are good or not

How do you qualify someone as a great bass fisherman?
I thought of this after reading Paul's quote recently and it got me thinking. Am I a good stick? I hope he doesn't mind me quoting him. No offense meant. Paul wrote: "i would 10-1 rather fish a lake that is pressured by 50 novices than i would one that is pressured by 25 "sticks". There are many aspects of a bass fisherman that some may qualify a bass fisherman as being good or not. When you show up at a lake, do you see others and try to figure out if they will out fish you or not, even if its not a tournament? There are some that can pound their home lake and get skunked on unfamiliar water. Some that come to mind are: -Standing up and fishing -Having a sponsor -type of boat, aluminum or fiberglass -expensive gear or lures -winning a local tournament or placing in a larger one -smack talk or just confident Obviously there is no right or wrong answer or any definite way to gauge it. I am just interested in your views on what you use as a guide to whether someone is "good or not". Of course we all love to fish and have respect for one another.

Knoted rope..would it suffice for a ladder.
how about this http://worcester.craigslist.org/boa/995265563.html

jig rod
I use a 7' MH for flipping moderate cover like grass, lily pads and light brush and 7'6" heavy for lay downs and matted stuff. the longer rod helps you flip farther

The 25lb Bass
I didn't realize Dottie died until I saw that show. I'm glad, George Perrys story is more interesting.

Marks Outdoors Lay Lake Open
wow 500 boats-- thats madness. The pot must be a million bucks. Do you have to get to the ramp the night before? I'd do it if I had some secret offshore spots---that is if I wasn't 1000 miles away How many places does it pay? In CT, 40 boats is too many in our lakes

I think a rope ladder would swing under the boat when you put pressure on it making it impossible to get leverage to hoist yourself up. The ladder needs to be stationary. A guy I know(out of shape) fell out of his boat and lowered his trolling motor on the back of his jonboat and stood on that to get back in. Thats what he recommended to me.

Is this boat a steal?
I asked to see the Bass boat this weekend and buy it and heres what the reply was Hi again, The car is stored at a shipping company in Las Vegas, Nevada. I took the car to them to be able to ship it to a potential buyer whilst I'm out of town. My brother in law works there, and he promised me that it will cost me nothing to ship it in the US. I also have the car listed on eBay View item and that lets me use their secured system. I'm very busy with my job and I'm sorry I can't meet you in person. According to eBay you have 5 days from the time you receive the car to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not. So if you really want it press Buy it now on eBay on eBay and after complete the payment let me to know your full name and full shipping address to send my car . After you get the car you have 5 days to test and if you decide to keep it eBay will release money to me if NOT they will refund your money and the shipping company will take the car back on my expense and keep it until I find a new buyer. Regards Laura looks like I'm gonna own a car instead of a boat

Fishing at Disney
There used to be a $100 trip for a single person at Disney at noon. Ask for it. Its worth the money just to see all the sites and and catch a few small bass. Don't expect to hammer them or catch big ones. The guides are nice too. DON'T pay $250. for $300 you can get a local guide give you 6 hrs on another lake
