  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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)
  4. 1. a boss that lets you 2. find the fish and a 3. G/f That lets you go so you can 4. figure out the lure and presentation needed to 5. light one up and crack a beer in victory!
  5. 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
  6. Nope, not me, I have a friend that was looking for that thread. Thanks!
  7. I learned to duck! My partner has a hookset that has the bait coming at you as fast as it went out! I WILL be caught soon enough!
  8. Now that I've been here a bit, I notice the BR link on so many other homepages. Reputable tackle companies, club sites, it's everywhere!
  9. 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!
  10. There was a post about this recently but I can't find it, any help? If not, can anyone who replied before, please do so again? THanks.
  11. 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.
  12. We don't get to hold 'em like that up here in RI, so my guess is out
  13. 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
  14. HI! Look forward to getting to know you. Is your husband on the board too or is this going to be your personal advantage over him?, lol.
  15. Or in my freshwater case, ahem, you know I do own a 21 ft center console ,lol, but in my red jon, a dunkin donuts cup with lid removed serves for a suitable bilge pump replacement ;D
  16. watch, 3000 by the weekend,woohoo!! Glenn, your "baby" isn't a "baby" anymore!!
  17. um,...blub,blub,blub no plug in my boat, scuppers ;D Good one though
  18. I thought it might be helpful to some if we made a list of things to check on your boat before leaving on a trip. This is my list. Please add anything you do that I don't (yet:)) Hook up trailer-check lights (brakes also if applicable) Turn on batteries, 1,2,both(make sure switch functions) Check all electronics,radio(s), radar,finder,etc. Check fuel/oil and fuel-water seperator Safety equipment check-class 1 lifesuits(offshore) life jackets(inshore),flares, anchor(s),throwable flotation, check eperb Check extinguisher system for charge Start motor Kill switch(to be checked when motor is started) Boat lights First aid kit All boat papers/permits/liscences Go fishin'!
  19. 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.
  20. Try these for ideas and google "jon boat conversion" http://www.myjonboat.com/gerry.htm http://bassresource.com/fishing/bass_boat.html Good luck.
  21. 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.
  22. fishingrulz1234- WAY TO GO!! rebasser- WAY TO GO!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
  23. 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.
