  1. Ok your the King, can I at least be in your court?
  2. Thanks I usually get 3 years out of them, and the battery may be done after this season. Come to think of it the last battery did the same thing at seasons end and would not hold a full charge the following spring. I just screw these down onto the copper wires from the TM, so you are saying not to do this Fishfordollars and my friend Miguel told me to clean it off with Coke( The liquid kind) because the acid in the coke will take care of the acid residue.
  3. Hey Fellas I have a Everstart group 27 deepcycle battery. This is for my trolling motor, which is my only source of propulsion, since I fish a TM motor only lake. The last several time I charged it I have this greeen, pasty/putty like stuff around the positive post, where the butterfly nut is that the cables go to. What is this? How do I clean it off? The Battery is holding a charge and I scapped it off twice but it keeps coming back with every charge
  4. I get close to the dock and flip the bait under by hand then back the boat up about 60 yards and reel it in!
  5. Yes you can, I have dedicated the last 2 years to mostly getting my baitcasting skills to where I am confident with them. I keep a 2 piece spiining rod behind my truck seat, for fishing ponds that have to be walked too or are in a series of ponds and pits we fish along a couple of farm roads. This weekend I went to the river for smallies and from shore spinning definitely has it's advantages so I keep one good spinning outfit.
  6. Air Temps put an end to my fishing long before water temps : The older I get , the less I like beiong outdoors in colder weather. I live in an area that offers both LMB/lake fishing and SMB/river fishing and I have friends fishing for both a full month after I call it a season.
  7. Since the Philthies eliminated the Met's, and the Cubbies have left the building, I will be rooting for the Dodgers. START BETTING AGAINST THEM NOW, of course I get my ususal 10% for rooting for the team you bet against ;D
  8. My friends in Florida talk about how hard these fish fight and those who fish smaller bodies of water said the same thing as Catt so i did a little searching: Here is a link from the Zoological Musem of University of Michigan which has some information under ; Predation and Place in Eco System , based on scientific and cited research, that suggest that Catt may have a point and it may in certain bodies of water be true and not a myth. Give it a read and you can trace the citations to find the research etc. http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Amia_calva.html This other study shows a negative effect on Talapia Surival , as the population of Bow Fin increses in Small and conventional ponds. So it may effect the Bass Population as well, since Bass Feed on Tilapia http://biblioweb.dgsca.unam.mx/cienciasdelmar/instituto/1983-1/articulo148.html There are more articles from scholastic sources that I would tend to trust more than a site dedicated to bowfin fishing. I am not an expert but there is information out there that supports the idea that bowfins do have a negative effect on bass populations. I don't know about killing every one you catch.

    HELLO AND
  10. DING!DING! DING!, we have a winner ;D
  11. Isn't that from a George Micheal song?? ;D In all seriousness, and don't take this wrong but,....The Beatles. GREAT song writing, TERRIBLE musicians. Very basic skills involved there. But again,...credit where credit is due, they made it happen. Maybe even more of a testament that they did it without talent,lol. RUSS I AM HUMBLED BY YOUR HONESTY!! I have to be the only white guy , my age who never owned a copy of Sgt.Peppers!!!Iwas too busy trying to learn all those Stax records and everything coming out of Memphis, New Orleans and Oakland in those days. Way better musician ship and the writers were better. I will take a Hayes/Poter, Allan Tousaint ,Dr.John or a Hollander/Dozier/Holllander composition anytine over any of those Lennon and McCartney Hits Not to mention all the US generated Jazz and Blues of the day.
  12. Hey REDS, no nothing is a joke about you, your 'pole' or anyother begginer, we all started some where. Go to the begginers section like you are doing then go to top left of the Home Page and click on articles and go to EQUIPMENT. Then you will have a basis to ask questions and understand we all have brands we love, and that is where the reccomended stuff will come from. Provided they come from people who actually use the equipment all will be good suggestions Then go to a store close to you that has some of the suggested products and SEE HOW THEY FEEL TO YOU. When asking for suggestions always add what price range you are shopping in, people will even go to the trouble of giving you on line links to thier suggestions. YOU DO NOT NEED TO SPEND A TON OF MONEY 8-)
  13. Went to PORT Clinton PA and fished the River and the dam area today, with the other part of 2 MOOKS IN A BOAT< LAst time we were there 4 inch Glist/Shad *** Slaty Tricks wacky rigged with JJ's Magic was the deal' This time I think for the first time scent turned them offf, Not one bite in the first hour!!1 Bruce ( My fishing partner) Lost the scent while I kept using it and he hooked up to a 14 and then a 13 inch smallie and I had nothing going on. We walked over the bridge to the other side, off a rocky point and I went to a * and Bruce to a finesse jig thingy he uses, He started really slaming them , and I was getting a lot of takers BUT NO HOOK UPS So I put on a slider head, and a 4 inch French Fry Worm and sprayed it with Anise and started pulling in fish after fish ALL DAY AND NOT ONE FISH 12 inches so Burley I am taking part of your crown today and declare myslef KING OF THE BRONZE DINKS
