Nice job guys ~ And surprisingly Matt's not wearing Any Camo ? A-Jay

Count me as a fan of this hook as well. I did not have to change anything any thing that I'd done with "standard" drop shot hook. Line twist is a thing of the past for me with this rig. Fished the same hook now for three trips (and several fish) with no issues. A-Jay

Very Healthy looking Bass right there - Nice Job. A-Jay

20 lb Sufix 832 with 12lb Big Game leader - fished on Lamiglass SR705R (fiberglass) rod - I think this rod & braid make a nice combo for med/deep crankbait. A-Jay

Last Fall I was working a real brute of a fatty into the net as carefully as I could. Was definitely a PB crank bait bass - when suddenly she caught a second wind, blasted herself air-born and threw the hook - Broke my heart. A-Jay

I had a chance to check this reel handle out this past April. Dwight was fishing one, it's pretty sweet. I think I even took a couple of those photos on the site. A-Jay

I've been doing well nose hooking a 3.5" Big Bites Baits Dean Rojas Fight Frog ~ A-Jay

What you described is very similar to many of the waters I fish routinely. If docks are the only structure and some extend into deeper water, I'd start there. Fish might be anywhere in the water column on a dock in 20 fow. In that clear water, go stealth. Stay off the dock a good ways, and cast a weightless stick bait (wacky) on spinning gear and 4 lb line. Start at the end and cast all around it. Be patient. Let the bait do it's thing. If there are bass there, they'll eat it. Be prepared for the bite / fight. With that light line you'll need to be ready to move the fish out of there right off. I use the boat to help me move the fish out to open water. This is a very standard tactic for me and one that is often times the only way to get bit in the summer. You may be surprised at the quality fish under there and mid day is often the best time. Good Luck A-Jay

Made a few minor improvements / upgrades. Best one was rigging a second battery under the front seat to allow me to hook up auxiliary power (to get home) without actually moving the batteries. A-Jay

I have not done this - but I'm going to try it. I think I'd like the easier release - for both me and the fish. I will say that using a boga grip (Thanks Dwight) to unhook and release fish on treble hook baits has been nice. I usually can keep the fish in the water and it's definitely safer - A-Jay

Lust Gluttony Greed Sloth Wrath *** Pride This very sad situation has it all. A-Jay

Good One - So she Pinched a Loaf in the bread section. A-Jay

I know ~ it's a little over the top, but when I think about what that complete Sap has ahead of him, I can't help but think -That's one for the Good Guys. A-Jay

This Marine in Very Creative . . . . . A-Jay

Very Nice ~ you can't help but Smile. Thanks A-Jay

H O L Y S M O K E S ! ! ! Now That's a Fishing Trip right there. That must have been like a Dream - The whole time I would have been asking myself - "Is this Really Happening ?" Congratulations on All Those PB's . And I'll ask as well - What was the name of the lake and the resort? A-Jay

I picked up a Lamiglass SR705R - mostly on the recommendations of members here who have them and swear by them for cranking. I LOVE IT ! I will not pretend to know the science behind it - I do know that it is a fish hooking / landing machine. (That avatar fish came on it) I have since purchased a second one. btw - am a big R Clunn fan and could listen to him a day. A-Jay

I had a very good day today drop shotting a 4inch Big Bite Baits Dean Rojas - Fighting Frog ~ A-Jay

For me it's about balancing the old with the new. No need to discard baits or techniques that I like and that are effective. However, there have been some technical improvement in all facets of fishing that I have embraced. Electronics, Braided line and Tunsten weights to name just a few, have been seamlessly incorporated into the way I fish and have improved the entire experience. This does not mean that each time I chose to adopted a new / additional type of lure, line, some terminal tackle or even a rod & reel, that I must discard something. That being said, I probably will not be rigging with lead weights again soon but I'm back to fishing a few Fiberglass rods (with braided line of course). It does appear that some things may be placed "on the shelf" for a bit. But it is pleasant and satisfying to pull down an item, blow off the dust and relive the past, as it were. A-Jay

Sweet ~ Congrats J and best of luck with her. A-Jay

I have been known to take an occasional trip down "stupid lane" - but I certainly don't have either of those . . . . A-Jay

Don't forget the Rage Tail line of baits. The Craws, Eeliminator, Grub and a few others all make excellent trailers. A-Jay

The offseason can be a tumultuous time for many athletes as they struggle to fill the free time usually taken up by team activities, and many unfortunately turn to less than recommendable behavior. A grand total of 25 NFL players have been arrested since the Suber Bowl. (2 guys Twice) In other words, the season can't get here soon enough. Makes me ask - where would these guys be if they hadn't been drafted ?

Cool Shot Chris ! So that's the real version of "Excuse me, I must have a frog in my throat". A-Jay

I use a Pentax Optio W20, it's an older model. Pentax makes a new version. The W20 is small, easy to use and good underwater. A-Jay http://www.amazon.com/Pentax-Waterproof-Digital-Camera-Optical/dp/B000HDHAOO/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1342626850&sr=1-10&keywords=Pentax+Optio
