Hey fellas a question: Do you think certain age/weight class fish get used to and ignore certain lures? My Observations from last 2 years of logs NOW 5LB BASS ARE CONSIDERED TROPHIES AROUND HERE, Last season every 14 inch/2lb fish were hitting wacky and trigged trick sticks without a second thought. This year the 15 to 16 inch fish would for the most part ignoe them However they were smashing craks and jigs very regurlarly Now I noticed some of the RI guys seeing the same thing. Leads me to wonder as the bass hatched the last 2 to 3 years that are going to be 14 inches soon, will put the trick stick bite n again. Also this would lead me to believe that the older crafty fish will not hit them and need another bait and presntation to get one of thos 5 lbr's to bite. This may explain why baits get hot and cold, and may help choosing baits when looking for bigger fish. Your input is appreciated here,

Thats exactly how I see it, well said. Their is culpability on both sides' You know the tails side of a quarter is worth 25 cents and the heads side is worth 25 cents, just like both sides of this ugly coin!

I have and I supervise 2 of their managers , who also work for me at my place of business. I KNOW THEIR PRACTICES FIRST HAND< All 3 su[ercenters, St.Clair, Hometown and Hazleton close their doors for a short, but effective time and reopen just the grocery doors at 5AM. I have witnessed this for the last 6 years Example; They put up HP PC's ith monitor and free printer, Windowsxp installed for 379. !% at each location. They saturated every local newspaper with this in thier Black Friday Flyer. The pile next to them was their house brand emachines, same bundle for 429, that is not quite bait and switch, but close enough.

Hey Fletchero; Wal Mart does share part of the blame. By closing thier 24 hour outlets, like they do at all 3 supercents within a 30 minute drive from my home. They they start in 2 hour intervals , begining at 5:00am putting majorly dicounted products on sale, THROUGH ONE SMALL ENTRANCE ( not angy , caps are to emphaize) Our zoing here requires all 4 entances to be open. They understock on purpose, having similar items, at close but not the smae discount , that they make a better margin of profit on/. So by closing and reopening, shuffuling customes through one small entrance, for proscts the customes know are understocked would lead me to come to the conclusion theat Wal Mart bears some of the responsibility here.

MAKES SENSE! The other thing to look for is that while these scams today are modernized using the internet, the mark is usually set up by appealing to GREED or FAST MONEY. The ol saying THERE AIN"T NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH IN AMERICA, should play loud and clear in your head . So when you see a free 100 bucks ,or protecting an assest you already have in an unsolicited eamil know that is what they are doing. They have just found an easy way of hitting a lot of potential marks with one email.

Hey Bassin_Fin@tic I use either the Lucky Srike Shaky head or the Finesse jib by them or especially SLIDER JIG HEADS, With either an *** Brush bug or 7 in.Ripper worms, and it comes through Coontail,millfoil and what have you with out fouling up.

Another disagree,sorry. You can't quite put a jig,any jig,into the places where you can put a slender low profile craw worm,tube,creature. i don't know about that one, I have only been jigging for a season, but I really can put them in places other biats can not get near, including tight spaces

Yea FISH A JIG ;D

Hey Mike. Since so many guys here , and in your 2 forums fish from Little Tin boats that they trick out with decks, seats, livewells and what have you. I would like to suggest, especially for pre or early season episodes you might be able to include HOW TO VIDEOS. These would be much like the Video that you show from ordinary fellas who send them in. Maybe even a show on how to do these project boats. I am curious what the fellas here would think of this also

Ah John, How do you get A&W Rootbeer out of a keyboard

The day after his wife disappeared in a kayaking accident in Port George , Nova Scotia , a man answered his door to find two grim-faced Mounties. 'We're sorry sir, but we have some information about your wife said one Mountie. 'Tell me! Did you find her?' the husband shouted. The Mounties looked at each other. One said, 'We have some bad news, some Good news, and some really great news. Which do you want to hear first? Fearing the worst, the ashen husband said, 'Give me the bad news First.' The Mountie said, 'I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but this morning we found Your wife's body in the bay.' Oh my God!' exclaimed the husband. Swallowing hard, he asked, 'What's the good news?' The Mountie continued, 'When we pulled her up, she had 12 Twenty-five pound snow crabs and 6 good-size lobsters clinging to her.' Stunned, the husband demanded, 'If that's the good news, what's the great news?' The Mountie said, 'We're going to pull her up again tomorrow.'
