Gator? Man, I think I'd have to change my pants after that!

Hey folks, the mods and I have been using Savage Gear baits with terrific success. So I suppose we need to let you in on our little secret. These baits are so realistic, even big smart bass are fooled! http://www.savagegear-usa.com/

Holy cow!! Glad everyone is ok!

Average sized fish in Washington is 2-3lbs. My Washington PB's are a 6-lb largemouth, and a 5-12 smallmouth. But it seems every year, somebody nails a 9+ in Washington. And 6+ pound smallies are becoming more frequent. They're there. It's possible.

Here's a few tips on how to back a trailer properly - even an experienced angler can learn a thing or two from this: http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-videos/backing-a-trailer.html

On second review, it looks closer to "Summer Craw", however that's more of a "close match" than an exact match. That color was our in the late 80's. I know. I have still have some. But not in the original bag.

You defended yourself, that's all you needed to do. Now be a man and let it go.

Here's a video on exactly this subject. It answers your question. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-videos/spinning-accuracy.html

And this is why we don't do "humor" threads anymore. Somebody, at some point, will get upset. And scene....

Yes, I suppose you could do it that. But check out the way I rig it. With the spinshot rig, it's easier to adjust the length without retying the entire rig. Oh, and hey! I'm not sponsored or affiliated in any way with spinshot hooks. In fact, I think there's several hook companies that make this now. Pick your favorite and knock yourself out.

They're abundant in my area, and they're decimating the food chain. This is a very, very destructive bird. They feed primarily on the forage base, thus eliminating the food source for predatory fish like bass. Unfortunately, the fish and wildlife service isn't proactive, and only reacts once it's too late. Lot's of information can be found here: http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Management/cormorant/cormorant.html

And so on, and so on, and so on....

Here's the deal. Actually, here's the speech I gave back when I was dating. It went something like this: So what happened? I married a woman who loves fishing as much as I do! Go figure!

And this is why we have a "no religious posts" policy. And scene...

We're delighted to have Ford on board! I've been a Ford guy since I was born (my dad always owned a Mercury or Ford). I currently have an '99 F-250 and an '09 F-450. The F-250 has 250,000 miles on it and is still going strong. I think the move to an aluminum frame on the new Ford F-150 is simply brilliant. The weight savings increases mileage as well as towing capacity. In fact, that 6-cylinder eco-boost has more horsepower and torque than my V-10 F-250! Simply amazing! Here's more information about the new F-150. Here are my 2 trucks. Let's see pics of your Ford! C'mon!

A-Jay wasn't stabbing you. It's sound advice. I've owned both condos and homes. Definitely homes are the way to go, but condos are a good gateway drug to home ownership. The key difference is that anything on the outside of the condo is the responsibility of the condo association; the inside is yours. At least that's true as a general rule. Condo associations vary, and the devil is in the details. So read them thoroughly, and ask questions on anything that's not clear to you. Key considerations are: How many parking spaces do you get and where are they located? What about guest parking when you want to host a game day or party? Do they allow renting of condos? If so, run away and don't look back! You're essentially living in an apartment complex otherwise. How much are the dues? How often do they increase? By how much? Other things to consider: It was said earlier, but get a top floor, corner condo. Seriously. Don't even look at anything else. Those units are safer and quieter than anything else offered. Don't get a unit near the cabana/pool/basketball courts, etc. Unless you enjoy noise. I once had a unit that overlooked the pool. To this day, I can't stand "Marco Polo". I got sick of hearing it. Get it independently inspected by a quality, licensed home inspector you find and hire yourself. That way he's truly an uninterested 3rd party with no strings attached to the sale. Do not skip this step! There's plenty of info on the Internet about finding good inspectors. Information is free and priceless. Pay close attention to all the associated fees with the purchase of your condo. It can easily add up to several thousand dollars. I recommend budgeting for them, and paying for them out of pocket, rather than lumping them into your loan. You'll be paying interest for years on something with no equity otherwise. If you are not a smoker, be sure to thoroughly check out your neighbors to see if they smoke, because it WILL seep through the walls and into your home. Same thing with fleas from pets. Check the association rules regarding this too. Some condo complexes are smoke and pet free. MIght be the way to go, since neighbors change over time. Buy as new as possible. Less things to go wrong, and will most likely have lower heating/cooling costs. Hope that helps!
