Youre on the "short" list ;D

"Fish Finder" ABSOLUTELY. I do not use mind to find fish however I use it to find structure and cover on structure. I turn that freaking "fish" alarm off. I have a long way to go, in learning how to visualize what I am seeing on the screen, as related to the actual 3-D underwater, but the better I get at it, the better I have been doing.

That thing is a turd. Might as well just put Mr Hanky on there. ;D Which is fitting since its on a Mets uni. ;D As for the HOF, I just wish the Murph would get in. Never will, but I would like to see it. He was a class act and one of the top hitters in the 80s. \ Ah What was the name of the Pro team in VA,, Ohh they don't have one

If you want to try this kind of Jig/worm trailer try this it works for me: Jig HEAD ( not a dressed jig) 1/4 ounce this is one of 3 types I use Venom Shakey: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCatcat20166-cat410008&id=0053816122745a&navCount=3&podId=0053816&parentId=cat410008&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=QX&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat601233&hasJS=true Use a Zoom Trick,Mann's Jelly Worm ( 6 inch) or my favorite for this 7 Inch *** Ripple tail worm These catch fish very regularly in a few ponds, especially in front of weed lines or on submerged rocks and logs 6'6" med action does the trick with this type of lure

And a special "nod" to our Mr. Raul

I'm trying BELIEVE ME I AM TRYING :-[

Hey Southern Fellas; It's real heartwarming to see the Florida guys talking about how the spawn is starting and the Texas guys trying to figure out what jig to use : this is what The Chunk Looks like today: So to all my Southern Friends this one is for you:

Hey Fellas: Next time I go to Brooklyn I have to get some samples for a few fellas here. There is a Soda Company in the Greenpoint/Williamsburg area of Brooklyn owned by the Passaro Family. They started with Espresso Soda, they also have Killer Creme and Sasparilla. I came home with 6 bottles, by the time I made it home I had 4 left! Here is what it looks like: Here is the Link to the Company, with the history: http://www.manhattanspecial.com/products_pure_espresso.html This is my favorite soda, we used to get it delivered, you could tell the Italian houseolds, because they were getting Manhattan Soda delivered, the rest of the known world were getting Cott and Canada Dry! 8-)

My dad had a 1961 Plymouth Fury with push button transmission. Its what I learned to drive. Push first gear, stand on the brake, stand on the gas and do a power jack, release the brake and that 318 would lay a real nice patch of rubber. Hit the button for second and get another patch. Course, I didn't have to pay for the tires ;D I later had a 1967 Dodge Dart with a 3 on the tree. My Dad had a 62 Plymouth Savoy, black with the pushbutton trany

LOL, you need to take a closer look at those girls.... :-* Does the name "Pettis" (sp?) ring a bell? On a serious note, great news, Carl, I'm happy for you!! Thats classic! I heard she hooked up with Rick the %$#! and they have a cigar boat team now :

We need to keep in mind where we fish. Catt has taught me stuff that is universal and he has also taught me stuff that does not work on some of the waters I fish, my logs as well as those of the fellas I fish with,m bear this out clearly Some differences are biologically driven and the notes do not lie. There is a difference from fishing a large Southern Reservoir, that never freeze, while quite a lot of fisherman on them they are not less than 1000 acres,have a lot less anglers per acre and tournaments do not take the same toll on those big impoundments ments as they do on smaller natural and made made lakes of the North Bass do learn lures, especially on smaller , very large pressured water, where they see the same lure many times in a day.There are a few lures especially soft plastics that are some what less suceptible to this, but there is no denying where I live and fish most of the time , paying attrention to this means more fish in the boat. The temps we fish in the late fall and early winter are much, much less than down South, by more than 10 degrees less. It is not unusual for us to be fishing 34 degree water the week before ice in, Bass just go slower and slower presentation show a remarkable greater success pattern. So it depends on where you fish. I can not tell you the complexities of fishing reservoirs, where fish "School" it just doesn't happen where I fish. We don't have the Fla Strain bass, we don't have large "schools" of bass attacking stock trout, and in a few highly productive bodies of water i fish regularly THERE ISN"T ONE SHAD IN THE WATER! I cant tell you what is it to fish water that does not go under 45 degrees in the period from late fall to spring, I do not know. There are area and type of water specific pieces to the puzzle and if you generalize, just by what you learn on your water, and think it's the same all over , well that's just not right.

Congrats! I knew there was something up!

Don't be sorry, it caused a lot of fisherman to take notice! here's one:http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1231519673 and another: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1231833857

This is the 4th thread on this in less than a month

Don't forget the world famous Italian Proctologist:DR>INNUENDO

I actually prefered a little tail in the back seat instead of my gas tank, as a teenager

Thats the air temp ! We fish water at 34 to 35 degress here, I would say having lived in Louisianna myslef you never see those temps, and water temps are what controls a fish's metabolism

Was that ESSO? PUT A TIGER IN YOUR TANK!!!!

Oh yea learned how to drive a clutch on my dad's big old DeSoto with 3 on the cloumn

and it bears an incredible likeness to you:

Sounds like you have a Bone to Pick with Burley Now

NYC First Responders, EMT's,Fire Dept,Police Dept and ESU are the best in the world. They show it everytime!

Talking about things like rock piles and creek beds etc. in deep water. He's right about this and it works so much better starting at the bottom and working you bait up.

I knew it CATT had a crush on DARLA!!!!!!!! ;D I was more into Miss Crabtree, the teacher on the Lil Rascals and Annette Funicello on Mickey Mouse : my 2 child hood hony's: Miss Crabtree and Anette: I once bought a girlfriend some mouse ears, she would not wear them. This being a family oriented site, I can not tell that story here. :
