Uncle Leo

Alright way to go, wish my wife would fish with me.

Wow, sorry to here that. It did sound like you had a great honey hole there. I am sure it will be missed.

Welcome, I am sure thenew boat will service you well. Give me a holler if I can be of help. From Frankfort myself, south suburb.

You need to chose your words wisely, that may help improve your self esteem and allow more time for your studies. I take offense to this.

To study in college is not the same as the day to day grind of making a living, supporting your family along with your co-workers and their family. When you do get out in the real world and have these responsibilities of running a business then you may call good moral standards ignorant. I agree it is very difficult to understand your academic life when you are dealing with real life issues. College, workplace and life in general does have their own particular Rules of Engagement, we either follow or make a personal change. I can assure you at one point in your life your opinion will change by experience.

I agree 100% with you on this one Tom. Rules are rules and no one should expect an employer to pay you for anything other than doing your job. If a person has that expectation than it should be asked during the interview process but also expect an additional contribution to the unemployment rate. This post makes little sense. Tom's advice is advice that can be put to use in ever endeavor you seek in life.

Seems odd that the percentage is so high but you do need to get down and stay down where the fish are. I use the lightest weight possible to make bottom contact and normally getting hung up in some weeds that are easy enough to pull free of. maybe lighten up on the weight some.

The prune still has pits, tried sending you a couple also either your box is full or there is another problem, Bud.

Ya know it, in Summer Craw. Better yet out in front of the Boy Scout Camp in the deeper weeds.

Bet they all came on a Keel Weighted Rage Craw! Opps the secret is out. Steezy is a hook setting Dynamo!

Well another Roadtrip is complete, 3rd one for me and as usual had a great time. We struggled with high winds most of the week and were able to put a bit of a pattern together to average 16 bass per day with 10 per day as keepers. The key for us was wind blown main lake points, not fun with wind gusts from 20-30 MPH on some days. Caught a variety of fish, Hybrid, Snagged Alligator Gar, Crappie on a Crankbait and of couse SMB and LMB. Most of the week a spinner bait bite was hot. On our last day I dedicated myself to a Keel Weighted Rage Tail Craw and it produced the largest bass of the week. Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure. If you ever have the opportunity to fish Kentucky Lake do not hesitate, it is a great fishery.

Was able to pull a photo off the phone, big one of the trip. Foul hooked of course, thought it was abig Drum.

Just a quick note to state another Roadtrip get a big thumbs up. Been crazy catching up at work the last couple of days. I will post up some of the high lights and get Glenn some photos before the end of the week. Hopefully Friday, dang customer's are bothering me. GOOD to see everyone again. Finally got a better one on a Steezy bait on Friday. Big O knows!

Dang dude what are you doin? We are leaving early tomorrow morning and should be in Kentucky when everything is open. If I find some I will grap it for you. I have maybe just bearly enough for the week so I may have to get a bottle. Plenty of other colors.

Another fine one Steve. I will definitely see you at Kentucky Lake, maybe you can whisper some advice on how to find them Big Girls.

To be perfectly honest I rarely set a hook hard on a crankbait bite. They tend to hook themselves if the bait is moving. When I set the hook it is to try and sink a second hook into the fish. What you really need is proper gear if you are losing fish. 1) Moderate action rod, power to suit conditions and weight of crankbait. 2) Mono Line, diameter to suit weight of bait and depth desired. 3) Sharp hooks. A Moderate Action Rod and the stretch that mono provides will keep a fish buttoned. I believe that the Bass a throwing the hooks due to using an Extra Fast Action you need more give to keep them buttoned. With this formula a graphite or fiberglass rod will work. Fiberglass would be much better but graphite will provide more sensivitity.

Strange things have been caught in rotating machinery. Really strange things.

Probably happens every July, old post keep the hope.

No light by hitting the goal post. They need to correct that. Good to see them made it anyway, almost did not. Series is not over yet.

It has been quite sometime since I have been in school but based on the equation presented it would be 288 based on my experience. Is 2 New Age Math?

Always be prepared and willing to lose a few. It you are not banging into or off of something you are not fishing a crankbait to it's fullest potential. That is about the best advice I can give.

We are getting close folks. I hope we all load the boat and are safe. A bit of reflection to keep you at peace. Fisherman's Prayer God grant that I may live to fish Until my dying day And when it comes to my last cast I then most humbly pray When in the Lord's safe landing net I'm peacefully asleep That in his mercy I be judged As good enough to keep. Now go get em!

Blackhawks got whipped last night, they say a repeat in hockey is difficult anyway, oh well.

Good job, them Florida Bass sure do love a Fluke don't they? Amazing how being on the water in a boat changes the way a lake fishes.

Wow!
