Flash forward and V back on the air
My two favorite new shows of last year were put on "hiatus" I figured that was the kiss of death, but they're back. Now if i just figure out what "Lost" is all about then my tv world will be a happier place.

pre-rigged carolina rigs.....
I tried those pre rigged ones when I was new to c-rigging. Complete waste of money. I never really liked to c rig, but as it works really well in my neck of the woods i have one stout rod always set up.

Hollow body frog question?
I never noticed the line tie moving so much as the whole hook will move inside the frog body. I never needed to change out hooks because the body would get pretty tore up b4 the hooks needed changing but owner makes a frog hook that is really strong and really sharp.

Grits Gresham "The Complete Book of Bass Fishing"
He was great to watch on TV. Wasn't really known as a bass fisherman, but that never stops anyone.

A Change to Big Bait Tactics???
I did find that switching to bigger baits increased the size of the catch, but in all honesty, not by much. So then I went to "supersize" baits, like California sized swim baits, and caught nothing. Now I fish what's proven on my lakes and what I enjoy. I don't fish as much as I used to, but I have more fun than ever.

Finesse Bass Fishing.....????
Unless your fishing for meat or cash I see no reason to use a method that you hate, I mean what's the point? As sport fisherman we are out there to have fun.

Fronts moving in and out?
I used to work at the top of a tall office building. If I had some time on the books I would look west and if I saw a storm front moving in, I would take the rest of the day off, and zoom out east getting to the water before the front hit. Those were some of my most productive outings. I always found that getting on the water just prior to the barometer dropping was as close to a sure thing as I ever found

No bass, but I did catch this
Carp are a bronzed on the sides. I had a similar experience one time. It was early March. Just after ice out on Long Island and I was crappy fishing with tiny maribou jigs. A 24 lb carp sucked down my jig. took me nearly 30 minutes to land it on 4lb line. Quite the memorable day.

What have you lost from it going overboard?
I lost a bunch of tackle, and a pricey rod and reel, Here's a photo of a tackle box I lost overboard and found almost a year later during a drout.

St Croix Legend Tournament vs what?
I find Loomis rods to be a tad more sensitive than the corresponding price range St. Croix's. But for overall satisfaction St. Croix builds great rods. They are fer sure sensitive enough, they feel great, balance well and the power/action balance is outstanding. I have several St. Croix rods starting with the avid series up through the tournament bass and into the legend elites...I enjoy fishing with all of them. Plus St. Croix service is top notch.

Is there one that haunts you?
Oh yeah! It was on one of my early trips to stickmarsh. I was running a spinner bait past the wood when there was huge swirl and a thud. I set the hook and the rod bent but I couldn't move the fish at all. This was a B-I-G bass. With incredible speed he darted toward the boat at an angle and got off. I never saw him but like I said this bass was big.
