Low_Budget_Hooker

Thanks Sam, I do alot of custom fiberglass fabrication for show cars. Audio, video, motorized units etc. My point is that the "talent" part doesn't exist. Not much to it, but having the tools around and the time, that's the trick. Thanks again everybody, I notice this boat has inspired a few of you to take on a jon boat. Good luck to all of you and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I know you are in the "ultra-light" mode but I think you should seriously consider moving up to a medium outfit. The ultra-light keeps you very limited. I personally don't even own an u/l anymore although when I started out, that was all I used. Now, I would only use one if I were fishing a very small river for some small trout which I rarely do anymore. Just a thought. Better hooksets, much longer casts, stiffer line, bigger lures=====bigger, better fish!

sorry,....read it wrong,.....lol

max-n-mn---a 9 wt?? for trout?? You live near a nuclear power plant? lol

One thing Ryan forgot is that no, unfortunately, you cannot fly fish with spinning or baitcasting gear. A fly rod and reel are neccessary. A 7weight fly rod is the norm for bassin' but if ultra-light is your thing, you can go as low as a 5 weight. Good luck and welcome aboard.

THey may not be fry anymore, pardon the technical term but they are finally big enough to see in schools. Pods are more like it.

I got no answer. left message. Will post asap. For now I would go with Lori

One sec. slight confusion. I met his mom and her name is Lori, so I assumed it would go there but the address Ryan sent me said Ronnie. Let me call Ryan, brb

Welcome!

Who you kiddin'? We all know that cottage has a lake out back!,lol

Awesome! Congrats! Glad everyone is happy and healthy. Enjoy your new addition!!

Piranha- yes but it's not just depth. Points in current especially have lots of advantages with the biggest being an "eddy" type situation for A FAT LAZY BASS TO AMBUSH IN.

We've noticed in the last few days that the bass fry are out in force. Giant clouds of them. I've been throwing a baby 1 minus thinking it might be time to crank up a few but the crank has been fruitless. No problems catching on senko,jig,topwaters,etc but can't get one on a crank. This lake doesn't have a baitfish forage other than bluegill so cranks aren't a big choice here but seeing how there's a hatch I figured we should throw them a bit. Any ideas why these won't work? Is it maybe staying too high in the water column?

Send any help to: Ronnie Lamb 4002 HWY 78W P.O. Box 530-129 Snellville, GA 30039 Thanks, Russ

That's more than normal, that's beautiful.

swivel at the hook?? Really not weightless anymore. That swivel also won't stop line twist.

big baits=big fish

happy belated!!

Arkansas shiner and Albino ghost, ....like heroine for fish, they can't say "no"!! And with a red hook in there, the inner body appears to be blood filled or,...."alive"

Nothing stopping you now man!! That's great, hopefully you and your dad can start a fishing thing together. I wish my dad fished. Awesome, feel free to pm me if you want any help. Good luck and catch 'em up!

thanks everybod!! Fluke- I prefer the term "experienced" lol

absolutely. Tarpon run in the morning and peacock bass all afternoon-puerto Rico Black marlin-Hawaii or venezeula Tuna on the fly-New England or ANYWHERE else there are lots of fish and no timeclock!

lol no lock on my livewell though

I turned 38 today and my g/f just informed me that she's giving me $300 towards a new set-up. She knows I've been looking at rods for next year, particularly the airrus n-synch so she 's helping me with the first one. She's a keeper!! ;D

use these quick pics to see how an ewg hook keeps the point in-line with the eye and lays flat on the baits back. Last pic is to show how you can "skin-hook" the tip back into the bait for a weedless advantage. Hope that helps
