  1. why spend all our money on such nonsense when in reality there are no lakes up there for any of us to fish anyhow.
  2. i fish allot of strip mine pits the water is deep and clear i use lighter line 4# and have had the most luck using 4 inch senko worms watermelon colored wacky rigged and also watermelon colored grub type jigs on a jig head . I'm not a night person but allot of guys around here catch some big fish fishing late at night when the fish aren't so spooky because of the clear water.
  3. I'm a newbie so this may be a dumb question. a lot of days after work i will hit some fishing holes on the way home so i carry a couple spinning rod set ups with me at work in my car with the windows rolled up ,will the hot temps inside the car damage my rods i have them inside a couple heavy cardboard tubes so the wont get damaged by everything else in the car but what about the high temps? thanks.
  4. i usually dress for comfort but also to keep my skin covered because i do alot of shore fishing and there are a lot of hungry ticks out this time of year.
  5. i just wanted to let you guys know the outcome with my wife's cellphone she charged it up and tried it and it works fine if this happens to anybody else what i used was a product called damp rid that i had lying around its like granular that you open up and put somewhere you have damp musty odors and it absorbs moisture i put this stuff in a zip lock bag with her phone for three days and her phone works , thanks for the advice guys and good luck fishing
  6. my mind was drifting towards what grimlin post had to say. where was she and did she meet someone else.
  7. i have some damp rid a product you put in a damp basement and it absorbs moisture I'm gonna put the cell phone with some damp rid in a zip lock bag and see what happens i will let you guys know the results in a few days
  8. my wife was feeling ill friday night and trying to be a concerned and helpful husband i decided to do the laundry which i do like 3 times a year but since her diverticulitis pain was acting up i figured i would give it a shot well in the process of loading i didn't check her pockets and washed her new cell phone , is there any chance of it working again i took it apart and have it sitting underneath the ceiling fan to try and dry it outdoes anybody else have any other ideas /. thanks.
  9. when we were young kids we used to hang out in front of the grocery store in town and we used to take a dollar bill and tape some fishing line on the back of it and set it down in front of the enterance to the grocery store and wait for some one to bend down and we would pull the string,customers used to call us all kinds of names.
  10. hi, my buddy gave me a brand new exide marine battery from his store that came delivered on its side with some of the acid leaking out im no expert but was hoping since the battery has never been charged if i put acid back in will this work ?and also is there a ceratin amount acid to distilled water ratio that goes in the cells or just acid. thanks '.
  11. i bought a 9 ft pond prowler from bps and was wondering what my options are to keep getting blown around from the wind . would a mushroom anchor work and if so ,would i need one for the front and one for the back or would one of those drift socks be better. thanks in advance.
  12. in the strip mine pits by me ive always caught bass on a small grub type jig in watermelon color and ive caught alot on a 4 inch dark watermelon type senko worm both t -rigged and wacky rigged i always use 4# test line in case the fish are finicky.
  13. i picked up a black and decker battery charger up at a garage sale and it has 3 settings for amps 2 amp ,4amp ,6 amp . i have to buy a new battery and was wondering if any particular setting better for charging a deep cycle battery and keeping it healthy. thanks
  14. he says he is happy to be in chicago but the one associated press picture of him holding up the bears jersey he has a look on his face like he is holding up a smelly diaper.
  15. my wife used to always say, quit tying up the computer all night on that FISH PORN site. i fixed her i bought myself a laptop.
  16. he always adds alot of humor to these forums like alot of you guys do . you guys make me laugh my *ss of at times , his posts are missed .aceman387
  17. i had a question about crankbaits and fishing them in ultra clear water i fish mostly in strip mine pits and was told dont bother fishing with crankbaits because the fish can see the hooks i figured i would ask the experts before i go out and buy some . thanks in advance.
  18. im sure down the road the oil companies will spew something like the increase is because of the more expensive spring blend formulation blah, blah.blah.
  19. i think these big stores have people vamboozled believing that because of there size they have the cheapest prices i always seem to to get the same price or better at the little shop by me, and im in and out of there in a few minutes instead of an hour . i think they hook alot of us because of the selection and depending on youre mood when your in there you get caught up in the shopping frenzy.
  20. i know how you feel ,i pulled the trigger last week when i bought a st croix legend elite rod after pondering it for weeks. the tv blasting all the gloom about the economy over and over makes it tough to want to go out and spend hundreds on equipment this is the first high end piece of fishing equipment ive bought. its a bummer i wont be able to use it for a few weeks. i have it leaning against the wall in the upstairs bedroom. its like a pet ,i pick it up and look at it daily.
  21. sorry to hear about your back . i always warm up on my excercise bike or treadmill to get some blood flowing for a few minutes and then stretch . its not good to stretch stiff cold muscles, im 48 so i take my time warming up i always start with light sets and work my way up to heavier weights . hope your back gets better.
  22. congrats to all you steeler fans . i thought it was great game . i was hoping for funnier commercials this year , bruce springsteen had alot of energy ,faith hill looked scrumptious.
  23. so much for his clean cut all american image, just think how much endorsement money just went down the drain.
  24. i just bought my first high end rod and i was wondering what you guys put them in to tranport them and protect them in a car or back of a pickup i was looking at some of the rod and reel cases at bps website and noticed not many of them got rave reviews , i tried making something out of pvc pipe but the 2inch pipe was to small for the last eyelet and the 3inch way to bulky i was also hoping to leave the reel on if possible . thanks in advance.
  25. i also wanted to welcome you home like the rest of the guys , god bless you.
