that makes alot of sense. I'm going to have to try it too.

its a harmless norther water snake. I saw about 5 of them. http://www.umass.edu/nrec/snake_pit/pages/nwater.html

shooo weee, had me all worried up. Good thing RM is still here.

I shoot quite a bit. Probably 1-2 times per week. Rifles, shotgun, and pistol. I do shot quite a bit. But anyways. I agree with him too. The only way I would ever unholster it would be if it was a life threatening instance. Seriously hope I never have to. I'm not a person that feels I need to show it off because all it will do is get me in trouble.

I was dreaming of actually catching a fish.

agressive fish or late spring/summer/early fall I typically use a bigger jig/trailer combo 3-3.25 sluggish fish colder water smaller finesse jig small trailer 2"-2.75 Thats typically how I do it.

good to hear from ya. Stay safe.

I'm not skinny just thin boned. ;D Lots of decisions here. I need to go look at more guns.

4" tube, t rigged. If that doesnt work might as well go home.

we talking about square or round? Barlows/ staming has round Ebay might have square. Like Harshman said it will cost you

sounds like a good choice to me.

all I have used is calhoun plastic I get from del. Never used anything else. I hear MF is one of the best. Nice bait and bass.

dont want to pawn you off but I know who will know this. Go to del-mart and ask del. If I remember correctly you are suppose to mix it. he has some topics on this subject because I asked. I never did order the plastic though :-/

Hmmm, Just dont know what to say about that.

I'm kicking around buying a mold to make me some shakey heads with stainless wire. I cant decide if I want a football head, round head, or go with the poisen again. This mold will have to be modified. Here is a head style that I think I'm going to make. But I want some other opinions on it. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_89998_100010006_100000000_100010000_100-10-6 When you guys use a shakey head do you use one like above where the bait sticks straight up or do you like it angled back? Also what weight?

Sitting here thinking about fishing and started to wonder with all the fat ika talk Anyone ever fish it on a drop shot? Anyone ever fish it on a shakey head? Whats your thoughts on these two methods and the ika.

I've been looking at compact guns lately and cant make up my mind. You guys that carry, what do you carry or what looks good to you? I've been looking at springfield XD's but its a tad bulky and a bit heavy. Looked at a taurus millenium I liked the weight and size but dont know much about them Not a fan of glock for some reason and like the xd better Looked at a springfield 1911 model compact. Liked it and is an option Any other suggestions. I'm a skinny guy and need something small.

Or if you fished it on a crig. But yes, I do it quite a bit. I sit around thinking how to improve baits or develop new concepts. I've come up with a few good ones and some really really bad ones.

Its all different kinds. When I pour I use the stuff in a tube for like 95 cents a can. people use different kinds. There is alot of preference in it. Some salts to suspend better and are clearer then others. That is the problem with salted baits. it kills the color.

LOL, I had dominos pizza with italian sausage and a dr pepper for lunch. If I had a camera here I'd post a pic of it for you. I thought it was funny and figured you guys would too. Yeah right you guys cant get rid of me that easy.

Well guys, I've decided to take a break from the forum for awhile. See ya all in about an hour or 2. ;D TGIF ;D

My shorten version. A good wingman will jump a grenade for you and will also know when to excuse himself. A bad wing man will swoop in on you and take control. Like LBH said. Confidence is the key. I guess thats why I'm a good wingman. I dont have a problem with telling someone time to go. True story. My cousin and I stopped in a bar for a minute. This place was a hole. We werent there for more then 5 min and some "older women" 2x our age started hitting on him. Lets just say she wasnt attractive at all. (keeping forum clean). While I was cruising the dive I saw the look from him no words just the stare. So I proceeded over to where he was stuck and I interupted. I was like "Wazup". Well this is where it get bad/ignorant. I was doing my best being polite and not ignorant to get him out of it with a story on why we had to go, but She figured out what was going on pretty quick. In a real ignorant voice she said " Oh I guess you guys arent interested" my response was "Nope". I did clean this up for the forum. If you watch women do this all the time. Alot of the time it even goes unnoticed. I think it happens more then men do it. I do agree with Avid also. As far as the beer/drinks go. Not a good idea to over do it. Its just distastfull. Not saying anything wrong with a couple drinks when cruisin for chicks but good chicks dont like to hang around drunks in my experience. Good ones atleast. They dont want to get mixed up in that. If your there at a bar looking for chicks its a social game not a who can get hammered the best. Leave that one for catfishing with the buds. Always use a designated driver. This is also a very good scape goat to get out of bad conversations. Oh the DD is here gotta go.

Shad- you have a good point. My question wasnt very well thought out. New question reworded I do not have much luck on bright colored jig skirts. Most of my fish come off colors like black, brown, dark greens. Do you guys have good success with whites, bright greens, yellows, charts etc.
