Is that what that funny looking white stuff that's dusting the ground this morning is? Oh Boy! > Yup. Despite bumming me out, it really energized the dogs on their run this morning. Being Northern breeds and all. A-Jay

And to really cement in what the next 5 months will be like here, it's snowing today . . . . . But I'm trying to stay positive. I was able to fish and catch some decent fish right up to Thanksgiving last year. And to help get me through the hard water period, I've decided to make this link my home page.

Great Smallies Dwight ! Smallmouth in November ~ you're catching them - but you're Earning every one . . . . Always makes me wonder, where the heck are those fish all summer ? ? ? A-Jay

Great Smallies Dwight ! You were "chomping at the bit" because you knew where they'd be. . . . . . . A-Jay

The Three Stooges RULE ! A-Jay

Later this Summer and into Fall the Strike King Sexy Ghost color has proven itself a welcome addition to my ever growing collection of baits. The clearer the water the better. A-Jay

That's wild ! Down in the comments of the video, someone wanted to know if he "stuck the landing" . . . . A-Jay

ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample? WITNESS: Are you qualified to ask that question? That right there is Funny ! A-Jay

WTG ~ Nice "Urban" Smallie ! Looks like a shot from "City Limits". A-Jay

That was Excellent. And although it's fun to see many fish caught, I enjoyed seeing and listening to DB as he fish/discussed different baits and techniques during less than favorable conditions. Some of us, can remember when you could only get that kind of info from a fellow angler who was in the boat with you. Now it's just a click away. It's fun to remember the old days, but this is so much better. A-Jay

Nice fish Dwight. You look a little bummed out ~ couldn't be the fish . . . . Must be because you had to return to the dock while fish like that were biting. Still, a good call. A-Jay

I went with Craws - looking forward to the final results. A-Jay

I am slowly buying into this philosophy. btw - I sort of knew you were going to say something like that. A-Jay

I agree with you on all points. The "small fish syndrome" is fairly wide spread in area also. Perhaps it's a by product of the minimum size regulations that are currently in place here rather than a slot size limit rule. As for keeping smaller fish to help the fishery, I would do it if the regulations would allow; I certainly catch a good number of dinks each trip. As I would not be eating the fish, keeping them would be tough at first. The "conditioning" you talked about has a good grip on many of us. A-Jay

For the several years I was stationed in NJ, Cape May and A/C, I was a striped Bass fishing addict to put it mildly. This site (link below) has a ton of current and local info that will help you. Good Luck A-Jay http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/forumdisplay.php?f=177

KVD specifically worked with Mustad and designed this hook for His Strike King crankbaits including the Red Eye Shad. I have not used them yet but I am going to. Here is the link and a recent thread on this subject. Also I think it's size 2 or 4 A-Jay http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Mustad_KVD_Elite_Series_Triple_Grip_Hook/descpage-MKVDEST.html http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1286204900/9#9

Congratulations to your wife and nice job to you ~ the husband / Pike Guide. A-Jay

Yup ! Today is the first Overcast day we've had in a couple of weeks. I'm not complaining because it won't be long before the lakes here are in the hard water period. But I am heading out and hoping to do some Damage . . . . Update: Damage done ? ~ not so much. A-Jay

I love seeing posts like this ! Documented Results = Credibility. Thank you A-Jay

I hate that. Perhaps dropping down in line size might do it. A-Jay

Nice fish Dwight - I knew it was only a matter of time before they came up and you got on them. A-Jay

Nice Fish. You did something different and it paid off. A-Jay
