You should see them in Brooklyn!

When did you fish it? How Deep?

Been watching CSI Miami, haven't you ;D

Yea once the ice melts in the spring >

I have never,ever been disapointed in any thing I have been involved with Russ.

Hey Micro, if you go to Rapala's site they show small video of the factory action. The bait apparently is made to fish with a deep nose down slope. I bet this bait will rip up small schooling Cocktail Blues in the early summer 8-)

If it comes in the right color , I would give it a shot when the Striped Bass are chasing Sand Eels off the Jetty in Brezzy Point .

Good Question Paul! The bite on the Chunk always seems to go from a preference from slim/slinky baits in the spring and early summer to fatter baits once the weed beds have set up and very large baits in the fall. Now I have tried reversing things to see what would happen, but this is the best way to approach this lake. This year the top water bite was late, and ended(slowed down) 3 weeks ahead of time, the bugs started dying early! Trick Sticks and Jelly Worms along with jig heads with Baby Brush Bugs and Beaver Craws were the ticket once the beds set up. This year the 6.6inch Brush Bug and Evolution E2's with A Chubby Wane or Fat Albert and 1/4 ounce Fottbal Jigs with the larger Beaver Craws, way outfished the usuals. 2 of the other regulars on the lake switched over when we talked about it, and they were experiencing the same success when they switched up

Actually Paul this is the collective experience of 6 people who fished the Chunk more than 50 days ( I came closer to 70 each of the last 3 seasons) on this body of water alone. We have all been comparing notes ( 4 of us have logs the other 2, respectable and do not keep written accounts) What convinced me the Trick Stick and worm bite ( Jelly and Ripple Tail) had fallen off, that when I switch up to Rapalas,Mid Range Cranks and Jigs, in the same spots the bite is on. We are all seeing this. The bigger bass have been deeper all along, I just was not fishing there. The bass that turned off to certain baits are all in the same area, and when you switch up, they bite. I am just trying to figure out why hte 2 to 3 lbr's have more or less given up on these baits. Will the next group of bass who mature to that size,hit them ? Does this mean the bigger and older bass just are to used to them? I can tell you that there are definite cycles for type and size of worms that are more effective than others, and it is almost predictable when it will happen EVERY 2 SEASONS! , Like clock work over the last 7 seasons ps ***, not Zoom Trick worm, I do not bother with those anymore

I did not claim to write these, where did you get that from? They are older than me! It is a collection that a few of us were emailing back and forth.I could not put my entry for Victorias Secret merging with Smith and Wetson ALl senior members who PM me I will tell you that one.

My Point is this; when the "next generation" of year/weight class get to be around 2 lb, and they haven't seen a whole lot of trick sticks, then the bite will get strong ONLY MOSTLY FOR THOSE BASS, and the loldersurviors might never be so anxious to bite one. This is not limited to any one type bait. On a small ( under 1000 acres) body of water, I wonder how many lures the big bass are hip to?

Hey Andrew: Where I fish most of the time, once August came they were looking for wide profile baits, I think there is a common link here.

Long Mike and Avid are so much more funnier than I am, hands down 8-)

my mistake, I have just been corrected, THAT IS A PROPOSED CHANGE TO THE ZONING ORDINACE, the ordinance reads that 2 least 2 of the 3 door sets must be opened. The general side closes at midnight to 5am, and then only the grocery sides are opened,

The ordinance reads" Between the hours of DELETED MISINFORMATION SEE POST BELOW, entrance and exit , it was the topic of an editorial last year. I agree I would never treat another human in this fashion. Wal Mart is ridiculous for doing this. I have seen 6 Black Friday events and all of them involved the opening of doors and a mob rush. I stood in front of an eldelry woman once so she would not get hurt by the rush Certainly no one can prepare for a trampling death, but if management were to ( AND THEY DO) witness what happens they would see that sooner or later someone is going to get hurt. In my opinion , to not do something in the way of preventation makes they culpable for something that may happeen They leave the food shoppers in the store while they close down the general goods section, and they let them leave when shopping. It is so bad that I have seen people "shopping" for food and using walkie talkies with thier partners who are still outside BTW: I always park by the Auto section to, so I have to go through fishing and sporting goods too 8-)

This is dedicated to RobbyZ5001 and SPEEDBEAD: The single thing that pizzz's me off Our Beloved OFFICER MORANO, on Mauch Chunk, what a MOROON quote" COME TO THE SOUND OF MY VOICE "

Jittersticks. they were still wacking the Jitterbugs While I did catch on them, Trigged and wacky rigged Trick Sticks> this held true on the lake not the rivers The Baby Brush Bug> the 6.5 inch one was one of most most deadly baits this year Jelly Worms, first year ever, not one on a Jelly worth talking about

Leaning a brand new Cabellas FishEagleII/Prodigy against the side of the boat, with a jig tied on and getting a bite, and said combo travels to the bottom of the lake! :'(

Hey Matt; Watch It's a Wonderful Life, exhange a few reasonable gifts with some loved ones, remember whose birthday this is, and you can enjoy the spirit of the holiday. We all do not need to be lemmings and follow what the rest of these mooks are doing to this day.
