  1. to build confidence id start with a small jig and 3" trailer. this will catch all kinds of bass, big and small. specifically: 1/4oz bitsy bug or 5/16 eakins jig baby rage craw, 3" yum craw papi, 3" netbait paca craw
  2. i love fishing double tail hula grubs on an arkie jighead. i guess that would make it a jig with a soft plastic skirt. lots of action.

    get the nicotine patch. just buy the first box if youre not sure if you will keep up with it. that patch is a miracle.
  4. good ones so far! just to add a few philip seymour hoffman willliam h macy
  5. Happy Birthday!
  6. beaver. didnt land the sucker, though.
  7. i use firetiger in clear water sometimes ive eaten a banana on my kayak
  8. back in the highschool (mid 90's) they used to have "grade D meat but edible" in small writing on the wrappers. this snopes page is false because i saw it with my own eyes! http://www.snopes.com/food/prepare/badmeat.asp a bigger turn off than the fake meat is the fact that it has always tasted like crap!
  9. x2 , although i dont think the 69mlxf is a "poor" shaky head rod. its ok with lighter jigheads...
  10. i like an MLish rod with a soft XF tip for dropshotting. i currently use an avid 6'9" ML/XF this would not be ideal for shakey heads over 1/4oz plus plastic, however. for that i like a medium rod, with a stiffer tip, XF action. i use a st. croix LES 6'8" M/XF. im sure the avid version is nice. for one rod to handle both, id go with a Med power, extra-fast action. to answer your original question - "Will a 6'6" medium with fast tip do the job OK for dropshotting??" yes, it will do OK. but its not ideal.
  11. the smallest (95?) magic swimmer in white lady is probably my favorite moving bait. give it a small jerk and then slack line and it will do a 180. not good for burning however. the larger ones might be better for that...
  12. DC Judge BOA snowboard boots. didnt even know they made boots without laces. best invention since gps! (sorry for the huge pic)
  13. drove 3 hrs to purchase my kayaks from them. they installed rod holders, rudder and roof rack on my car, no extra labor charge. they had the best prices i could find, too. they also have demo days where you can test out the different brands. i will probably buy a penobscot canoe from them this spring. i wish they carried depth finders....
  14. the best solution is to use and old pc pc for porn image the drive and re-image as needed! only go to trusted sites on your "gaming" computer
  15. id do the following: 1. reboot (if you havent) 2. try to download the update and run it on your machine (save to desktop and execute from there) 3. google the exact error and look for support 4. install MS updates (including Service Packs) 5. email AVG
  16. i am right handed and used right handed reels until a few yrs ago. switched all my reels to lefties and not looking back. its partly because i dont like switching hands but mainly because i have better feel and control over the bait by moving the rod with my right hand.
  17. i saw one episode. dude walks in to buy old medical equipment and ends up demonstrating part of his entertainment act and proceeds to bleed himself. quality television!
  18. unless you have a fake ID, id stay home.
  19. thier only failure, IMO, is Brad Pitt in "Burn After Reading". he over acts the idiot role and almost ruined the movie for me. edit: saw "True Grit" last night. if i had a parasitic twin id give it 4 thumbs up. need to watch it again with subtitles to catch some of the dialog!
  20. if you dont mind spending more take a look at these: native manta ray - i own and recommend it. super comfortable. a bit heavy wilderness systems tarpon - was my second choice. have heard great things about it. ocean kayak trident - have heard good things about it, can store rods in the hull id also go at least 12' if you go SOT. i recommend 14' for fresh water.
  21. i have 3 tierra reels and all 3 dont feel as smooth as they used to. you can feel a little grind through about 30% of the handle turn. maybe they just need cleaning although they werent heavily used. maybe its bad luck but i havent had that issue with any of my 5 shimano spinning reels. anybody else have this issue with the tierras?
  22. dont feel too bad - ive held a jig in my hand, attached a trailer and dropped it into the water without tieing it. apparently the look on my face was priceless.
  23. blu-ray player, free online gaming is a pro of ps3. better online network - xbox if i didnt hate the xbox controllers so much, id suck it up and pay the yearly subscription cost. ps3 online gaming is pretty bad at times.
  24. i have the green and i will get the yellow next time. green is very hard to see. its easier for me to see 6lb clear flouro...
