The pack loves to chase rabbits, dig huge holes and then eat and role in the dirt - that one makes me crazy. Before or after the heat of the day and to keep them in sledding ready shape we do this. They dig it as much as we do. A-Jay

Seems like it ~ It's hard to know and each body of water can be different depending on the forage base. While the baits I mentioned have been better than some, I use every bait pictured at one point or another each season on bodies of water big & small all over northern Michigan; and they all catch fish. I will admit to ensuring there is plenty of redundancy, as the pike always manage to get a few. A-Jay

I am at 172 right now - how much 'I Lift' is not nearly as important as how I lift it. In fact my priority here revolves around how I feel (strong, balanced, capable & confident) and how I look - and when I speak about appearance it revolves around how much body fat I'm carrying around - the mirror does not lie. I do ZERO cardio - my condition is a reflection of my diet & life style. I believe remaining lean, especially now, to be a high priority for me. And I'll have to disagree with you on how hard or easy chins are regardless of a man's body weight. Body fat has zero bearing on how much strength you have - as it contributes nothing in the way of helping to move you around, except to make it harder. So a lifter at 170 lbs and a low BMI compared to a 200 lb lifter with the same BMI - the stronger lifter will do more - regardless of weight. IME, Lifters with higher BMI are often in poor overall condition. btw - I'd love to see some of your training exploits - post it up Bud. A-Jay

Most any hanging action works for me too ~ even though I am Old Guy. Did someone say serratus ? This was Friday A-Jay

Minus 15 here this morning. While I will admit to being fairly acclimated to the bitterness, once the mercury dips below the -10 mark, my Iron Stones begin to freeze up a bit. #lama A-Jay

@Birdman2136 ~ for several years it was the Gold Sexy Shad & the Perch pattern but past few seasons it's been the Orange Bream. In both the standard & the new 2 Tap configurations. BTW - that picture is a slightly out dated as my RES arsenal has grown a bit to include several of the "Brown Craw". That one started coming on strong at the end of last season and I suspect this trend to continue. Here's the newest look at the RES box. A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ Sorry to hear about your challenges regarding water intrusion in your rig. Seems as though the OP hasn't participated in the forum here in several months or this thread in particular in several years. A-Jay

Thanks Doug ~ I appreciate the support my friend. Interestingly, once I got to crawl around in & on the Pro-V, I couldn't sell that car fast enough. Here's to fishable open water as soon as possible for us all. A-Jay

Z provides a really good option here ~ I fished this set-up for the first time last season. Seemed to be very good for the smallies here too. A-Jay

For sure. I run video now and so that really helps with my CRS. A-Jay

Just flip them over . . . . . ? A-Jay

All 1/2 oz and I fish RES in, around, over and through light to medium cover (mostly vegetation) in water 4-15 feet deep and in water at least 50 degrees. A-Jay

I don't have any left ~ This dude stole them all . . . Anyone know where I could find him ? A-Jay

Sounds like it - A-Jay
