Its amazing how quickly you guys regurgitate this "well thats just capitalism" attitude. I think most people understand what capitalism is but that doesn't mean that you can't gripe about something being overpriced. I would like to buy a new Ford GT, but thy're priced about the same as a NASA space shuttle and that occasionaly makes me say "screw Ford",.. or porsche or whoever. I guess I will have to continue playing Gran Turismo on my ps2 for my dream car fix.

I agree. The problem is always with the people who are willing to pay for outrageously priced items. Some of you guys keep talking about capitalism and capitalism is also about choice. If the price of Gary Y. lures do not come down then more and more people will choose dingers and tiki sticks,..at least I hope they will have the sense to do that because they are the same lure. In other words, Gary Y. can "capitalize" on these worms right now but the longer he waits to drop the price, the more people he will lose to competitors. Its all about being a smart consumer.

i'm gonna say 4. I just got a 14 foot jon boat and havent taken it out yet so i mostly fish small ponds and lakes from the bank. I've never used a depth finder or caught nice fish from big lakes,..i'm just getting into this. Locating bass is the next step that i want to take because so far i have concentrated on how to use diff. lures.

well, you could still be that guys competitor. 8)

If only you could patent this idea somehow...., actually i'm positive that you could. The funny thing is, if you were to simply produce a simple type of bag like the one you're talking about and make up some half-truth about how using your bags will not harm the fish, you could sell them to bass bro shops or cabellas or wal mart after the product picked up a little steam and then you could quit your job and fish till you drop.

Hey thanks for all the tips. I havent had a chance to try them out yet but its gonna be fun seeing what works. UT gets Florida in the swamp this year and they're goin down for the second year in a row. The best thing about the upcoming season is that spurrier is once again available for a nice beating,..which he is always badly in need of. ;D

Hey, this is one of my first posts and I just wanted to say hello to all the people on this forum, i'm a newbie when it comes to fishing and i've learned a ton already from reading all the articles on this site. The last couple days i've fished two different lakes and have gotten few bites each time. Today I hit a few bass in the face with a couple different lures and they just sat there and shot me the bird. One bass in particular was kind of pacing back and forth real close to the bank like it was guarding something and no matter what I threw over there it ignored it. I'm wondering if this is a behavior of a spawing bass or what?? Yesterday, at another lake, I noticed the bass feeding on huge groups of tiny shad close to the bank but again they wouldnt bite anything i threw at them. I guess my question is, how do you know when bass are spawning? (the weather here has been cooler than usual for this time of year, today it actually got up in the 80's but its mostly been in the 50's when the sun goes down and 60's during the day). Also, is it strange to actually slap a bass in the face with a lure and still get no bite? or do I just really suck at fishing?
