Might even be as simple as pulling the current bulb and hit its base with light sandpaper. I need to redo my wires this summer myself but mine actually work.

The kvd 2.5 is my fav shallow crankbait by a long shot. If its hunting your after, all my kvds hunt.

Go to Chautauqa with good weather

2000 grit is nothing, youre basically just knocking off the existing shine. 2000 dipped in water with a dab of dish soap in the water for lubrication Wet sand the topside all the same direction, dont sand one way then change and go another way. Think of following wood grain, you want the sanding to go all horizontal. Only sand till the shine is dull, wont take much. Wash the boat and get some 3m buffing compound and a high speed buffer and have at it with a wool pad. That boat will look brand new. $600 is because of the manual labor involved I am certain of it. Sanding that top will take you at least a day. Buffing will go fast. Im confident you can pull it off if you try.

Good job man, looks excellent. Hate to say it but that seat has gotta go. Set of these in white/gray would be alright, would also open a step up to get off the back deck. Put them in then wetsand the topside with 2000 grit and buff it, maybe a grant stearing wheel and a big hds10 with structure scan in front of it.

Suspending Jerkbait

I had some different notes from the classic, was really trying to pay attention to what guys were saying. One major thing I took away was someone mentioned about fishing a section you knew held fish and if it didnt produce with that color, change the color and go back through again. I am a stubborn angler. If I think they are gonna bite a gill colored 2.5, they better bite the d**n thing. I just never even consider going to a completely different end of the color spectrum and running that same water again. Guess thats why I am not a pro.

In the last few days - 7 new jerkbaits, Little John DD, S waver, four baby burners. Last week a tackle shop near me went out of business, I bought every 1/0 hook they had.

If I never had to watch mercer again that would be fine, hes a dork.

Is that green back considered gizzard shad?

My boat has a vent on the starboard side, on top of the transom about 8" from the motor, looks like a little black cap. He probably closed it for winter. That oil filter is your water/fuel seperator.

He fished the rip rap heading into spring creek on the final day to come from behind at the bridge. He said on saturday night he caught them there and his SI showed him just BALLS of bass stacked up on the rap. I think this went very much like I predicted, the rain/mud sent the females back out deep, they just happened to be coming back when he got there. They raffle his boat off, you can buy a ticket and it all goes to his charity. His boat is now worth a whole lot more. That was a great classic, I followed all day all three days. Would be awesome to win it, have enough money to put it away. What are the chances the classic winners boat was up for charity raffle?

I havent been in my boat since september of 2013, right before archery season opened. Once they let me loose on the deer I just cant pull myself away.

You would love PA. Here they announce what day theyre going to take dog food fed trout from the hatchery and dump them in the creek. Some guys walk a bucket full down then immediately rip em back out of the creek, it does wonders for their ego.

I tend to agree that its mostly just addional work with basically less than minimum wage. With that said... tharps entire boat and truck both say Halo.

I think a chatterbait is a 100% wildcard, its like a spinnerbait on drugs.

Hes still leading in theory. If he wins, it will be monumental

Then dont tell anyone you have them so zman doesnt send a letter lol. Ya got any of those 500 left? I need about a dozen

Best way to describe it is think of what it looked like as a creek before the dam was built. When the creek was flowing by itself it carved a channel, the bends in that original creek are channel swings.

Brandon JUST SAID IT... 30-40ft theres a pile of bait and fish but theyre hard to catch

I really think the pull of water, with the cold and post front will have moved those big females back into the deep.

I tie my jigs on his heads

I read an article earlier by some goofball selling a different shad that he thought the bass in the original photos were electrofished.

If so, do tell

If you really want to fly fish I would look to sell everything thats not bamboo and use the profit to buy new stuff. The new stuff is so far ahead of what it was even twenty years ago its unreal. Only thing id hold on too is if you have any bamboo rods. Automatic reels really dont even exist anymore. Theres no way to palm the cage and slow a fish.
