Dwight Hottle

The all purple shirt pic was a 23" smallie that weighed 6-12. The last pic with the black fleece on weighed 7-6. That one is easy. A happy wife makes for a happy husband. Besides after 42 years of marriage she is glad to get rid of me for a few hours.

Happy birthday & new year!

Sweet. Steelhead alley indeed.

And maybe a couple of PB'S

Yes your right. Not a PA fish but a FL fish. Funny though some or most of the FL fish are quite dark depending on what waters they are pulled out of.

Caught my first bass of the new year on a northstar hidden head spinner bait. Hope everyone else gets one soon.

Yes Lee Dec thru March

Nice to see you back J.

Happy new year back at you from a SE florida winter transplant.

Yes there are least two. But they are expensive. Shimano conquest 51 or 51S (shallow spool) Also Shimano aldebaran BF XG-L .The conquest is a heirloom piece.

WTG. Hope you have a good 2013.

I will as soon as it happens. Really looking forward to the 2013 season.

Way to finish up the year Jeff.

Go to the top of the page in this section and there is a sticky at the top all about jig fishing.

Try tilting the motor straight down & resetting to zero. Then start tilting up & see if it reads correctly. My reads at zero straight down & climbs up as I tilt up. Hope that helps.

When you carry a thermos of boiling water to melt the ice of your reels from the freezing spray. When you carry a plastic snow shovel to clean out the snow in the boat. When you have to shovel the ramp before launching. When to show up in December with your wife to go musky fishing and the guide cancels the day because it's too brutal out there on the St Lawrence.

You better hope your dumb buddies can figure it out before you catch the BIG one.

Turn the key off & then restart. It reboots to the original settings for me.

Great video Troy. Short & sweet. My wife was fist pumping to the music.

Looks like you had a pretty good year. Very nicely done Jeff.

I like the rage toads & rage shads in any color, as long as it's white. They make good swim jig trailers too.

Sounds like you guys did good.

Sounds like they spoiled you.

Guys it is just a tool. It all depends on where you fish. It is not a small fish bait for shallow waters. It's a big fish bait for deep waters. Might be worth a try if you have the rigth opportunity. If it produces like a $15 lc pointer the price is right.

Nice to see ya back.
