Cold, Cloudy, Fishing Conditions
dropping, I'm sure. New England is just coming out of a similar stage. Not quite the fall bite yet but close. THis is a time to stick to your guns. THe fish in my lake moved deeper. Finesse Jigs and senkos prevailed. eventually.

data on bass familiarilty with lures
Nick, I think that's good for a quick experiment but overall, I don't think they ever get sick of certain baits. THey either trigger or they dont. I know an elderly man at my lake who has been catching trophy bass at night there since the 60's . This guy is older than dirt and quite the charachter, anyway, he has an all wood canoe and still rows himself. We see him out there in the middle of the night and for 20 years the joke has always been,..."evenin' Alfred, whatchya throwin'?" He only buys 1 lure. Blk Jitterbug

What would you have done?
Personally, I think you did the right thing. These days, it's not worth it. If they are the same guys that KU has a problem with than I bet they already have an appointment for whats coming to them. You can't tick off that many people and not have someone confront you. But in the future, valve grinding compound, you don't need the whole tube but at least 1/2 in the gas tank and the cylinder walls will be too scored to hold compression within a month. Traceless, no varnish in the fuel system like sugar. stores easily in car or tackle box. Great for new cars! slow cure for a bad attitude. But again,(cough) I don't condone this. (cough)

Cold?
PM sent. I have to disagree with many here. I personally would offer: Heavyweight sweatshirts, hooded s/s, mock t-necks w/ arm writing, vests, Shaped hats instead of the ones w/ the peak in front. t-shirts-embroidered/vaporwick visors no insult intended, opinion asked for

Lets Talk Batteries
funny because wal-mart has commercials aimed at tournament fisherman now and the commercial plays out just like the last post. Guess that campaign is working!

Need help now!!!
There is a lake on my route that the same thing happened to. The neighborhood has been raising the money (125k) over the last 2 yrs and should make their goal this winter. Sad to see the lake so low for so long but.... Anyway, my point is that the neighborhood has to pay themselves.

any guess on the weight of this fish?
We don't get to hold 'em like that up here in RI, so my guess is out

any guess on the weight of this fish?
ifishflorida- bucket of a mouth, but skinny. Yours has potential to be much bigger than knkfiends if it were a different time of year. I think Ifishfloridas point is that photos are decieving. When I said "ditto", I was being lazy but I would guess 2.75-3.25 tops for knkfiends fish. To assist with ifishflorids point, this fish weighs 3.2lbs

Lets Talk Batteries
Most chargers have an automatic shut off but that should have been on a 2amp trickle charge anyway. I can't see a trickle charge frying a battery,ever. I use sears diehard batt's. They now make one with a 200 min reserve which is huuuuge. I bought 2 this year for the price of last years 1 optima battery. (they are great but too much money!) I get almost 9 hours of use on 1 battery now. Incredible.

The key is that you now have to pay extra for the same info a regular membership got you. I don't like being played personally. Dropped my membership.

Was in my local stream today and got an exclusive pic of the ever elusive bait monkey. If money is tight and you see this creature,..... run.
