  1. I seen this happen the first time fly fishing. I would notice that when I would lose a fly due to 6x tippet that when I would put an identical fly on that I was just catching the fish on they would stop hitting it. The moment that I caught one fish on it, I would take my hand that I held the fish with, slide the flies across the slime, move up to the next hole and catch fish. You guys might not think theres something too it, which I can understand, ive seen it happen enough times trout fishing that I personally believe there has to be merit to it with all types of fish. If it were just the conditions shifted, putting an identical bait to work after losing one would produce the same results. When it happened on the trout streams I was fishing flies that were not actively fished, they were dead drifted.
  2. The frenzy theory goes right out the window though when the bait isnt working, you start catching fish, move to a new location and catch fish immediately. If it were just one single location, I could buy that also but ive seen this happen walking creeks where there is no way the fish on the next pool up stream know I got them going below.
  3. Heck youre strait north of me
  4. Drop me a line when you give it a shot
  5. Dont believe they will share maps
  6. I like how they put that proprietary end on it so you cant make your own. Looks nothing like a traditional ethernet cable RJ45 end.
  7. Ive had a pair for 8 years, they are losing the coating on the frame themselves and I still love them. I use these as my daily lenses and keep the solarbats in the boat. Sometimes I never change out.
  8. See, ive never had that kind of power under my control to know that so it helps.
  9. I have seen this phenominon as I call it on the creeks, I am not sure if it has to do with covering the human scent or materials. Maybe its why scents work so well I dont know. I just want to know if anyone else has ever experienced this. I will work a bait, it wont be producing fish(first noticed this in flies, I KNEW were the only ones hatching). Once I catch that first fish and get some of that fish smell from their slime on the bait, that bait turns on fire.
  10. WOW a gallon every two mins. Id be broke as much as I fish. Guess if it only takes thirty seconds to get there its a wash lol.
  11. Does anyone make a suspending version?
  12. I got a pair of nice solarbats last year, I like them a lot. Only thing I would change is I shouldve gone with amber lenses.
  13. I guess that could be covered but that can swing wildly. Im trying to gage where I should aim with my next motor. Towing is relative to incline, vehicle, weight as you know. You say you burn 2-3 gallons a day. How much time in that day do you have that big motor at WOT. The resource trip would be a good day of what a tournament day might look like for you in my mind.
  14. Just to be clear, you put carpet adheasive down and decide to remove it, you better be ready to put new carpet in or get out a grinder and paint.
  15. My boat, lol, I can fill my tank and run for a week easy but Im not getn there in the time most of you guys are. If you have a 115 or bigger motor, can you chime in with what motor you have, what type of boat, how much fuel you burn per hour on your boat when on the big motor. I ask for hour/fuel consumption because taking distance into account wont work. I guess what I am getting at here, you can buy a boat and afford the payment and not be able to afford to fish due to fuel prices.
  16. Id prefer if they just start sending catalogs that are only 100% new products. I am going to buy whatever crankbaits I want regardless of price. I dont care that bps took the time to attempt to knock one off. Catalogs would be about 5 pages, once a year. Heres the brand new stuff, the rest youve seen 100000000 times over.
  17. 50" fish come out of our inland that holds them. Id be firing off something big, probably a large swimbait in a trout pattern. This lake has trout and shad. The rig could be good too, id be going with big baits myself. If I am fishing for fish 40"+ I wanna go big or go home. I dont want to catch 15" ones.
  18. It really is all about the action more than anything. A rod that flexes nearly its entire length will protect hooks and line better than one that flexes at the tip only. Theres tradoffs, which is why there are so many rods. A tip flex rod will rocket a bait out of the boat where a full flex can but you will really be overpowering the rod itself to do so.
  19. These outboard makers have been at this game a long time. I am not sure id worry so much about it, just that i can find parts and service if neccessary. Its like ford vs chevy vs toyota. Ive owned all three, some had issues, some didnt.
  20. That through the gills works great. I would do whatever happens at the moment. Give the gill a try, its not coming out fairly easy then cut it. If you look at how this works, its just like removing a hook in your hand.
  21. Youre gonna look at this price and think... no way, has to be junk. I am telling you, its every bit as nice as a factory cover. This one likely wont fit your boat, however I would order from this company again in a heartbeat. http://www.ebay.com/itm/18-Aluminum-Bass-Boat-Semi-Custom-Boat-Cover-Sale-/330643168584?pt=Boat_Parts_Accessories_Gear&hash=item4cfbde5d48 http://www.ebay.com/usr/canvas-company
  22. I bought a really nice canvas cover on ebay
  23. All deer duck at the sound of a bow going off, doesnt matter if its brand new or old. Someone studied thousands of hours of video footage and its happening like 90% of the time. Its best to take shots at deer that are not alert at all. Archery takes time to get good at it. Ive been at it for 16 seasons now and I learn something new every year. Its a game of dedication for sure and a sure fire way to mess up is ignoring the wind and hunting the same stands day after day. Archery is a lot like bass fishing, theres more than meets the eye. Its the little details that = success.
  24. Word it however you wish. He will have a brace from hip to toe. He will be able to put a little weight on that while in the brace but that knee bending after being locked up is gonna not be fun. It took six months just to make my knee bend one direction then another. Realistically, ill be surprised if he makes the 2015 classic as well. Im gonna go ahead and say he will not fish a single event in the regular season this year either.
  25. Double break and torn ACL and they think 10-12 weeks? He wont walk again for 9 months at best. I broke my tibia, had a plate installed at 23 and it took me 9 months to walk again. If hes back standing in a bass boat in a year for long periods, it will be a modern day miracle
