  1. The ponds will be ready first The rivers second Lakes last
  2. My local lake recieves no bass stocking of any kind due to such high natural reproduction
  3. I thought maybe this was the same? That one in the article is definitely on a boat. http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/excursions/post/angler-lands-two-big-bass-at-once-including-one-trying-to-swallow-the-other/#.UV1o-Ntgytw.facebook
  4. I just looked on google earth, theres no underwater topo info
  5. Find any water you want Download google earth Add USGS topo overlay All free
  6. You swing and miss, chuck it in there again you are in trouble... technically. Im not gonna lie, I have fished for bass on beds, repeated casts. I never knew this law was in effect. State has whack laws in fishing and hunting.
  7. "NOTE: It is not a violation of the bass regulations if a bass is immediately returned unharmed to the waters from which it was taken. It is unlawful for an angler to cast repeatedly into a clearly visible bass spawning nest or redd in an effort to catch or take bass." http://fishandboat.com/fishpub/summary/inland.html
  8. That could be part of the problem, the waters Ive fished thus far dont have that. The lake we are fishing this week would but I cant go.
  9. Trailer bunk slicks - yesterday
  10. Please dont use colored fonts and jack up the font size like that if you ever approach a company. That almost gave me a headache.
  11. I nominate that the mods change Raider Nation's account name to "The General"
  12. One thing to keep in mind when comparing anything is UV light exposure. If you have a spooling station that sits on the deck of your boat, it better be blacked out or sun blocked in some way or your line will be weak at every spot around the spool that is exposed. If you go to a fishing shop that doesnt sell much line, every spool in the place will be like that depeding on its age. It takes awhile to put 2+2 together. Some fly fisherman suspend tippet material off their vest, youll notice that those spools not only have a band on them for holding it in place but also to block that UV damage. With that said, even its not perfect, a season or two hanging on your chest in the sun while you fish and those $10 50 yard spools of flurocarbon are shot.
  13. gentlemen, the word is patience patience - the act of waiting under difficult circumstances patients - a person who goes to see a doctor
  14. When the water is cold enough to kill I wear it the entire time
  15. Getn one with a bow is extremely tough unless you live where turkeys are everywhere and decoys are very effective. You have to get them to twenty and five is better. Ive tried for three years now and cant seal the deal but like I stated above, I hunt some extremely pressured areas. The kill zone with a bow is very small. Remember... Hit em low and watch them go, hit em high and watch them die.
  16. I looked at the black and white down image units in BPS for an hour. Im not sure if its just that it was run continuously or the lighting or what but I decided no go and bought a lowrance color. You definitely wanna see sonar in person
  17. Actually laughed, stopped laughing and then laughed again
  18. BPS or Cabelas isnt carrying turkey loads? I shoot these in a #6 out of my gun you get 10 not 5 which should last awhile turkey hunting. http://www.basspro.com/Federal-Premium-MagShok-Lead-Turkey-Load-Shotshells-with-FLITECONTROL/product/120829053329603/
  19. They stay that deep in summer? Tubes, Inline Spinners, Pop-rs, Jitterbugs, Yum Crawbug, 3" senkos
  20. Do you know how to read a topo on land? Its no different under water
  21. They mustve reached in their lobster pots because NO ONE I know is catching fish up here. I know a lot of bass anglers and its the same across the board. We have a tourn this week but I wont make it, its during the week.
  22. Its really tough in the NE right now, give it a week or two
  23. Regardless of the term work... I would never pay $100 plus travel expenses to go sit in a boat for 8 hours. I would be bursting at the seams to fish. I dont care if KVD is at the motor, 8 hours of simply watching someone fish is like watching paint dry.
