I have never had it happen to me. I guess because I stay around TN and KY. If it did happen to me I think I would just let the guy know that there is no reason to act like he was and ask him if I had offened him in any way. I have managed a lot of ppl and when confortation arises you need to nip it in the butt asap. If he was still a jerk and front seated me I would probably act like I have never casted in my life an keep crossing him up or throwing a double bladed buzz bait......lol. I don't know what I would do never been put in that situation. I always make sure that I present my self as an asset to them.

I have used the barbed jigs for tying flies. I am no pro at it by any means but is doesn't seem to bother me. The only thing I don't like about most jigs is that they come with a small hook (crappie style).

It cost me at least a c note (100) everytime when you figure everything in that is even if I split the cost with someone else. You figure the gas to and from the lake, the gas and oil on the water, the food and drink you take, launching fees and or yearly pass, fishing lic., insurance on boat, etc. it adds up a lot quicker than what people think. Here is a good idea that I have been doing with my fishing buddies here lately is I have a full tank of gas truck and boat when we head to the lake. When we get back I stop at the gas station and fill everything back up then have them give me half the money. If I can supply the truck and boat they can afford half if not more. Does anyone else have any thoughts on how to recoup some of the cost from fishing partners/buddies? With gas prices the way they are I need all the help I can get.......... >

http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1201200765/12#12 Welcome... You need to search your topic before you post. See above address I gave some info on there. If you want to know anything else send me a PM and I will try to help you out. BTW I went to EKU....

I have interviewed a bunch. The last two jobs that I have been offered is due to being brutely honest with the person giving the interview. The last person told me that he felt as if I was interviewing him.....That is exactly what I was doing I had several questions he could not answer such as, what is your and the companies strategy for obtaining more market share? This took him by complete surprise and he could not answer so then I proceed to ask other questions this proved to be a very great way for me to get into their heads and stick out from the other canadiates. I would say that if you are not scared and know what you are talking about interview them see if you want to work for them. It always works for me I have been to 10+ interviews and have always been offered the job. Don't sit on your hands and answer yes or no always give a answer then describe your answer in detail......It is always good when you can make your interview run an hour past what they expect, you can see your competetion sitting out in the lobby with a blank stare.........lol

Get it weighed at a CAT scale. Get your slip. Go to DMV and tell them that the trailer you want a plate for is a "shop built" trailer. This will get you around all of the paperwork/hassle. They might want to know how many axles and how much they are rated for be sure you kind of have an idea of what it is. This is a common techinque for any kind of trailer that has no id plate such as homemade trailers.........

Thanks for the feedback. I can not put up a better picture I was only allowed 150KB so there it is. I don't know about salt water fishing but I use the colors that I have for BASS. This was my first time making flies and I kind of thought they turned out pretty good and I was wanting more insight from ppl that have experience. I know they will catch fish and hopefully they will hold up from strikes and hook sets. I did put finishing glue/product on the thread. Just wanted some honest opions and any helpful information to better my baits and or tying. Thanks everyone and keep sending me more information and/or thoughts.......

What do you think about these two prototypes?

How about SPORBY or HOBORT if George W. can make words up why can't I???????? LOL.

2 funny..........Good job Billy......

43 It is hard with a touch pad. Got to have a regular mouse......

I just was searching the internet and somehow ended up on the forums. I was reading everything and kind of got hooked. I think that this is a great site for finding information on things that you have heard about and wanted to try. Great site!!!

Fishing Information by Phone: (606) 678-8697 Fishing conditions on Lake Cumberland are reported as follows: Smallmouth Bass are being caught on float-n-fly methods off the points. Striper Fishing has slowed and are being caught by down rod and planner board methods fishing live shad 15-45' down in the middle of the major creeks. Below the Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery and in the Cumberland River, Rainbow and Brown Trout can be caught on spinners, salmon eggs, nightcrawlers, and corn. As of February 22, the water temperature at Lee's Ford Marina was 41 degrees from the surface to 30 feet. Generating Schedule On February 25, 2008 the Lake Cumberland headwater elevation is 681.75. The tentative power generation schedule is for the next 24 hours, CT. This schedule is subject to change without notice. P.S. The Dam project is scheduled for years. Google Wolfe Creek Dam Cumberland Lake.

When you time your spoon dropping down what is a general rule of counting to get your depth???? Is one one-thousand 10ft.? Does weight have a huge impact on timing? Can someone post a good general rule of thumb here as on timing for depth?

Okay, say you found something that worked. Say, you just pulled up on a rocky point with stumps,10 ft. deep dropping off into 30 ft. of water. You crush em' right there on top of the point. Now you need to find another spot. 10 ft. being the depth the fish were caught 30 ft. being the deepest nearby depth The point being the structure The stumps being the cover The rocks being bottom contour Which feature would be most critical to duplicate from the spot you found? Looks like you have them in order maybe flip-flop the bottom two In what I would look for. Main thing is that the fish are there.

Prayers sent....

I know an old man who spits tobacco juice on his baits and catches fish. So I am sure that coffee will work. It is not for me I have spent enough money on lures and such, so I will just stick to the basics. I have been told that baits are made to catch the fisherman and not the fish. lol.

Ok, I live 45 minutes from there. Great lake to fish, the deal with the water level is that there was a hole or leak (something to that effect) in the dam so they have dropped the water ALOT. What does this mean? Less water for fish to be in = more concentration of fish, but believe me there is plently of water there. In April you should expect fish to be Pre-spawn to Spawning. I would make sure that I had light finesse bait to fish bed fish (tubes, flukes, etc.) A nice pair of Polarized sunglasses will be a must. Start in shallow water and move deeper. Shakey head or dead sticking might be a viable option as well. The weather will dictate a lot during this time of year. I went to a neighboring lake today water temp was 42.9. Float n' fly is a must if water temp is under 50. You can never go wrong with a spinnerbait! Pattern the fish quickly see if they like a vertical presentation or if they like a horizontial presentation (horz = spinners, cranks, etc. vetic. = jigs, worms, etc.) Hope this helps and good luck! 8-)

Hello all, New to the site and wow where have I been? Great info on here; I have looked for this post and can not find it anywhere. I need information on how to tune a bait. It is my understanding that if you toss a crankbait out it should come in a straight line to you. What do you do if it runs to the side? I know some people like to have them tuned to run left or right for fishing along the sides of docks which makes sense to me. Also what are your thoughts on using a quick snap for changing crank baits quickly? Does this interfere with the tuning or running of the bait......what size should you use in the snaps? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
