My single biggest weakness, good post. My main goal this year! I have lost more than a few good fish not checking and retying enough!

Put a CATfish in the livewell

Geez Catt, that's a Burley Lunker

Old line and old guys same issues: Diminishing memories

Why must everything fun get put into a competition? I'm out on this one,gezz!!

I love the Rapala Dt serires and for some of the other shortcomings that Stringjam mentioned, I am adding some Bagleys to the line up this year, as I prefer Balsa over plastic.

( He asked for address where I am staying) I have to thank him also, although I won't know what for until after the New Year and I get home to my house. Now you know why when he was MIA, I was concerned about him. He is, despite what he likes to show, one the most generous and good fellas on the board here.

Wow what a cultural difference ! I would be honored if a close friend from the neighborhood wanted to date my sister, I don't get all of this. I guess I just grew up in a different time and place.

Hey I grew up in a real tight neighborhood, almost everyone married their best friends siblings MOST OF THOSE MARRIGES SURVIVED, some 40 years later. If you became friendly with her, and like Russ , said this is not just passin time, I would talk with your friend and go for it. Friends make for great relationships. Try to get EXPERIENCE from some of the older fellas here. The younger ones are still at the sticking gum in the girls hair stage and don't have a clue

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ROADTRIP HEY FELLAS: I will neither be able to go to or COOK FOR this years event.I have some opportunities that I let pass me as a young man, that have been presented to me again, and I need to spend this year participating in my life full time. I can neither cook for or attend this trip. I spoke with Alpster yesterday and he had already put the page together. I wish someone had contacted me as it was many months since I made the offer to make the meatballs an ship them via SPEEDBEAD, since no one contacted me I thought it had just slipped away, but reading the page I see it is featured. It is not my intention to renege on a promise, I have kept my word and showed up when I said and cooked for the last 2 events> Since I don't feel like I am going to croak anytime soon all I can say is WAIT TIL NEXT YEAR! Muddy

When you move to Chicago, You can open your own business. Get a stand at Wrigley and you can sell Kleenex after the 5th inning of each game, for all the crying fans! :'(

What kind of bats are you casting? Fruit Bats? Louiville Sluggers? If we know what kind of bats we can help you better

Flooger PRESIDENT followed closely by the Trions

Hey Basser 89. it's on for Feb. after the superbowl. Since you have daughter weekend issues we will go with your request, as kid time is more important than what we are up to. Let us know which Sunday after the bowl, in Feb is good for you and that will be the date. NOT VALENTINES WEEKEND EITHER!

Hey Glenn: stay safe! Do you have a generator for your place? Well I left the $&@#* Mountains of PA to spend a few holiday weeks at Elaines back home in Brooklyn >>>>16 degrees presently and single digits for tonight, the cold weather is following me. :-[

really? Cause i know for a fact the Skitter pop is balsa... The Skitter pop is balsa and the Skitter Walk, both fresh and salt water versions are plastic with rattles in their center. I have several of each.

BULLET close second; Car chase through Bensonhurst in FRENCH CONNECTION

Thanks, Elaine is looking to switch outta Norton, I am going to show her this.

From the Mud Vault; In Brooklyn, around 1962 , PRE DR> PHIL DAYS Parental Controls; another thread made me stop and remember how my father handled such issues. I miss him everyday and the lessons he taught us were indelibly imprinted on our brains! We lived up stairs from our Family Butcher shop, every day at 6pm the phone had to be clear so he could call up stairs to see what mom wanted to cook for the next day. Of course my teenage sister was always on the phone at 6pm In all fairness to her, you fellas need to know 2 things 1. We ate almost the same thing on everyday of the various weeks. Ex. Monday: Chicken of some type Wed and Sun Macaroni etc. etc 2. All he had to do was go in back to the stairwell leading upstairs and she could have told him anyway. So the rule is the phone has to be cleared at 6pm. my sister continued to be on the phone then,. One day at 6:05 the old man comes up from the store, tells my sister to get off the phone and she complies. Now comes Parental Control Italian Style; The old man rips the phone cord out of the wall, says not a thing and takes the phone down stairs to the shop. The next month the telephone guy comes and re installs the phone, and he never said boo about it. MY SISTER WAS NEVER ON THE PHONE AT 6PM AGAIN!

Snow Skitching BROOKLYN STYLE" On the older green buses we would grab onto to lip of the back bumper of the bus and fly down Vanderbilt Ave! The risk of breaking your neck was where the adventure was! Muddy was not a smart kid, neither was his cousin Joey: One day me and said cousin Joey were Skitching the Vanderbilt Ave bus, right past the intersection of St.Marks Ave WHERE MY DAD"S BUTCHER SHOP WAS!!! Two blocks down past at Dean St. there is some guy behind the bus beeping his horn like mad, so we were shaking our butts at the driver and Joey salutes him with a Brooklyn Bird, and the Bus has to stop at Pacific St. We both get gripped up by our collars it was MY FATHER AND MY UNCLE TONY!!!!!!!! That day did not end so well

How much does the full service cost?

Sounds like what you need is a spinnerbait with a camera lens

Hey Before this gets out of hand. There are some major changes in the wind at work, for the better. There is talk, right from the top directly to me that I am in for a lot of training and looks like eventually more college, for my BA. I have to stay low right now, as the center is closed for winter break, when I know what is going on, I can let you know my participation.

Absolutely: Okeechobee fats t1200 . from Wally World. I got the smaller red one first, I out grew it in 2 seasons.

Wow Great stuff, that's 3 posts printed from this thread. I find it amazing when the fellas here ask what magazine has the most info: NONE, ask the right question AND IT"S ALL RIGHT HERE AND THEN SOME> I am searching for an old thread that I believe Matt Fly started and or CATT: Know your prey... has a lot of relevant stuff to apply here, Thanks Fellas
