Funny. Did you guys trade spots where you were standing after he got a bass and you got a trout? lol I had a similar experience once, even wierder though....I caught a brown trout, in Narragansett bay(salt) on a shad body, in Feb., fishing for winter-over stripers,lol. The Blackstone river dumps in nearby and evidently, all kinds of things, fresh and salt, have been caught in this location, even a salmon.

Yes, definately works, pickerel like things being trolled also. A few hints from the Tuna days. Zig-zag---Make right and left turns as you troll. This allows you to work 2 baits a different speeds while maintaining 1 speed with the boat. "Outside" lines speed up in a zig and "inside" lines slow down. Pay attention to which one draws the hits and adjust speed accordingly. hold a 3rd rod in your hand, on a "short" line, run it between the 2 others, directly behind the boat in the prop wash. Fish often use prop wash to hit disoriented fish.

Syfer- again, we are about 3 hrs NORTH of you and we still have a decent bite. No need to stop till the ice forces you to. It's a comfort thing from now until the ice is in. Plus, look back in this section and you'll notice that swampanimal here just caught one yesterday too!! WooHoo!! You can't keep us Northern boys down, it ain't ove till it's frozen over!! I just did my video saying "Farewell" to '06 but the current weather pattern may have us out there again wed. if we can finagle the time from work. Go get 'em guys!! Keep on catchin'!!

In my book, even better than a nod from the gov't is a nod from the soldiers. I know of at least 4 soldiers who have corresponded from Iraq and/or joined upon return. It's nice to be able to deliver a piece of home to the deployed troops.

OT-Welcome home soldier. Thanks.

Excellent offer Lane. I've been on the boss to have some banners made, Between Fluke and myself, there were a couple other events this year where we could have represented better. Growing pains, none of this stuff is free. Any friends of the site that have a tie in the banner business??

A 4-5 lb largemouth on 6 lb test is alot of fun. What kind of line and rod/reel set up?

Lots of small bass and cats. That wasn't completely empty like Tiougue though, just lowered alot to fix the dam. Plus it is creek fed.

Not to toot our own horn but go check the numbers,.....we've been #1 for awhile and we only distance ourselves from the pack more and more every day.

After reading a post in "Tournament talk", I noticed that many may not be aware about the BR following. Many see us as an ultra-informational, youth friendly, supportive site. All true. But remember the name. Ultimate Resource I know through my own experiences of 8-10 high level industry people who monitor this forum. Some even participate. There is lots of customer feedback available free to tackle companies, boat makers, circuit officials, etc. Not only that but being the ultimate resource, many pro's and high level competitor's come to see what the word is in the neighborhoods. Many success stories began at a grass roots level and that's BR. The roots. These are a few quotes from the other thread:

When that water temp gets below 33,...I'm done. Air temp is irrellevant.

Yes, I made everything. The box is made from 2 12" sonotubes (used for deck footings) mounted to a base plate and stretched over with fleece. Each tube has 1.3 cubic feet of air, sealed (for SQ app's) More pics here

Ben, Can't wait to get the board all pumped up to cheer you on! As you know, I now have ties w/ RI BASS Youth team, so of course I'll have to cheer on our own 2 kids as well but you are the BR rep down there and we're awful proud of you man. 3.9 gpa,......pay attention kids, numbers like that speak tons to sponsors, ....probably more impressive and holds more weight with a sponsor than any catch,win,etc Go get 'em Ben!! Bucket,...proof reading might not be your forte! There are 6 gramatical/spelling mistakes in your 3 sentences. :-/

5:01am, saturday, time to take your dramamine! Good luck, be safe!

You're nuts,...same thing day after day, yuk. BRING ON THE WHITE STUFF!! WOOHOOO!!!

man, I'm jealous. Soon enough.

and 15 (so far) to comment on the 1 post that tells all about......a post about line.

PS- The reason techno/house music "slams" is because it isn't really music at all. Meaning, there are no instruments whose sound is translated to another form of media. "Manufactured" music like this is straight up digital from the get-go. Each note you hear is an electronically manufacted frequency, clean from the start and full of integrity when amplified. However, Put that stuff in a "Sound Quality" competition class car during a competition and you won't fare well. Tonal balance. resonation, and harmonics are big categories that suffer. On the other hand even if your imaging and staging aren't dead on, even the best IASCA judge would never know it. I'm looking to replace my vehicle next year sometime. When I do, I will be doing a stealth install this time. If you are into learning more about serious car audio, I will post as I go along with all the fabrication. This install will include many motorized goodies like a hard panel false floor in the rear (SUV) that works on the concept of the old roll top desks. A bilge blower system for air circulation, a 5 farad capacitor (for reserve power when the bass amp draws), etc. All in all, we will be looking at between 4100 and 4500 watts. All dialed low , lots of headroom.

Don't thump before 10a or after 9p and you won't have an issue. If the music is profane, you are a target anytime. I've had an officer chat with me for over 1/2 an hour about my current system. Big Dave matthews fan, song # 41 was the culprit. We were joking because he had just done special detail at Logan airport, this is shortly after 9/11, and when I folded down my rear seat so he could see into the trunk, he assured me had I showed up curbside to drop someone off with my seats down, I would have been surrounded by security. Can you say...."I look like a bomb?"

Tiogue lake, coventry RI

Here's the kicker. Spring fed, no creeks. Redtail- No, that would be a buddy of mine up in Harvard. Different guy.

I was on a route yesterday that I havn't done in awhile. This is the route where there is a lake that holds some nice carp,bass, perch, etc. Highly pressured but a fun lake just the same. When I was on this route a few yrs back ( 2 or 3), they had completely drained this lake. Not sure why but I saw this and was kinda bummed, wondering how many years it will take to bring it back if they plan on filling it. I went by there yesterday and was chatting with a guy who works right next to it and I used to see fishing there all the time. He said, the fishing in this lake is better than ever. the carp are bigger and there are noticably more bass than before the lake was drained. HOW???? The lake was completely empty for 5 months, how could there be fish in there already, nevermind, good size fish that are obviously older than 2-3 yrs??? My buddy has no clue either but isn't complaining because there are very few people who go there now, much like myself, assuming the place was dead for awhile. This lake was not re-stocked or even initially stocked, ever. HOW CAN THERE BE ADULT FISH IN THERE???

1. The type of song will not reflect the bass line, it's how it was recorded in the studio that matters. The frequencies that are forfront in the mixing room will be the same on disc. Define the bass you like. -muddy,boomy-sub bass -tight/stiff- bass/mid-bass I see it all too many times when kids want to "bump" and think subs are the way to go. That stiff, tight thump in your chest is not produced from subwoofers. These frequencies are produced by the mid-bass drivers. Don't skimp when you buy seperates folks. The subs just pick up the accents on the mid bass so if you are aiming for BUMP and get BOOM, you are trying to achieve a certain sound but are concentrating on the wrong frequencies. If you need a song to dial your amps into that has a strong mid-bass line, check out Dream Theater-images and words , song #6. There are certain reference discs out there also if you are not up on frequency tuning. Makes all the difference in the world. Systems need to be constantly tuned. The more intricate the system, the more often it needs tuning. Now I'm not talking about tuning the song in,...On my system, being so sensitive, every song has it's own settings to creat balanced sound, but on top of that, the amps are all adjusted in the spring and again in the fall when the thickness and speed of the air is drastically different. Bass Mechanix is a great tuning disc. So, in short, before trying to figure out which songs bump, make sure the system is tuned properly. I could give you suggestions but the songs will falll flat on their face if your mid-bass isn't up to par. Harnessing the mid-bass properly is the key to a bumpin system. Also, sounddomain.com has an incredible forum with a whole section dedicated to "bumpin' tunes". "Old man Zif" is a mod there and an old friend from the national competition scene. If you need specific help, PM him and use my name or just PM me back with any questions you might have.

Welcome aboard! I'm in RI, perhaps we could share a few Partagas' this summer! ( I like the square ones!) Where are you in Mass.?
