Definitely Fat Gitzits. Brown and Green Crawdad colors in particular.

Maine is an excellent choice. We have tons of water to fish and a great variety of fish to catch with world class brook trout fishing (Rapid River in particular, but you can find brookies almost everywhere) and awesome fishing for smallies and landlocked salmon. We also have a strong largemouth population (thanks to illegal stocking >), pickerel, pike, some scattered muskies, rainbows, browns, both varieties of perch, cusk, whitefish, black crappie in select areas, and lake trout and the state stocks places with splake (brook trout/ lake trout hybrid). Saltwater fishing is pretty good as well with stripers and bluefish being popular. The stripers also run up many of the rivers like the Kennebec and Penobscot. Also the state has been experimenting with giving out small numbers of Atlantic Salmon permits (We have done a lot of work trying to get the population to rebound with aggressive stocking and destruction of many dams allowing them to return to spawning grounds). (Edit)* Re-reading the original post, I would suggest moving to the outskirts of Auburn/ Lewsiton, there are plenty of small towns nearby to choose from. It would also be pretty close to a great variety of places to fish (Belgrade region, Androscoggin and Kennebec Rivers, Cobosseeconte, etc) not to mention less than 1 hour from Portland and about 1/2 hour from the 24 hour L.L. Bean Headquarters Store in Freeport. Auburn and Lewiston are decent sized cities (the mall kinda sucks compared to the one in Bangor or the even bigger one in Portland) but there is lots of places to shop/ eat right in downtown Auburn.

After reading that review and this one: http://www.tackletour.com/reviewokumafina.html I'm thinking about checking out one of their mid-range spinning reels.

Poisonblack's new album (comes out in like 2 weeks). "Hatelove" track at the moment.

Terminator T-1. Only spinnerbaits I use.

I'd save some cash and just pick up a Shimano Sahara or Symetre in 1000 or 2000 size. Pair it up with a 6-7 ft light action rod and some 6lb test. Almost all the rapala floaters/ countdowns I use are in the smaller sizes (3-7) and I think light spinning tackle is the way to go.

I've eyehooked many fish. What I usually do is bend the barb down and then slide the hook out so it doesn't rip out their entire eyeball. I've also caught several fish with missing eyes so it's definitely not a death sentence.

4+, probably close to 4 1/2. Nice fish.

Gitzit Pocket Pack (25 tubes in 5 colors, 10 heads) Rapala X-rap size 8 gold 1/4 oz Rat-L-Trap Baby Bass 1/3 oz Mepps Aglia Firetiger Watermelon Yum Dingers or Case Magic Sticks (4") Acme Kastmaster 1/8 oz Rainbow Trout 1/3 oz Mepps Aglia Red/ White Rebel Pop-R Silver/ Blue (3"?)

Hmm that's what they said last time lol

I voted St. Anger, almost picked Reload. Garage Inc wasn't too bad, couple decent songs (albeit most were covers lol) on there.

I chose Master of Puppets over Justice and Ride the Lightning because it has my favorite Metallica song on it........ Disposable Heroes

Watermelon, smoke, any kind of brown (or pumpkinseed) and I usually carry some brighter ones like salt/ pepper or chartreuse if the water is really murky or when fishing in low light conditions.

Metallica in their prime: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEL6_SuQCu8 Same song, present day (2 yrs ago) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygtgS81DrY4 No comparison in my eyes, I really dislike the 2nd performance People keep saying that they're old and blah blah blah but there are other bands from the same era that are just as old and they haven't crapped out as much. But seriously the only Metallica albums anybody should really concern themselves with buying are RtL, MoP, plus AJFA.

The key word being "WAS". They have fallen off big time. At least they had 3 good albums. All these people keep saying their new recordings sound like old metallica but they obviously don't have a clue what they're talking about. This is real, new thrash
