HAPPY MARDI GRAS TO ALL
What most people fall to understand is New Orleans is not Cajun it's Creole here's the difference. Cajun VS. Creole Cuisine: What's the Difference? Louisiana Cajun cooking is best defined as a style of cuisine based on country French cooking, which evolved around indigenous ingredients. Generally, Cajun cooking is hearty, rustic country fare created as a family project. Cajun cooking is home-style cuisine served over or with cooked white rice. Most often it is found simmering in a cast iron pot with its main ingredients harvested from the abundance of the land, swamps, bayous, and streams. In comparison, Creole cuisine is a more sophisticated cousin. Creole is the cuisine of cooks and chefs and is based on European techniques. Wine- or liquor-based sauces often enhance the subtle, delicate flavors. Though Creole cuisine has French roots as well, it has been greatly influenced by other cultures including Native America, Spain, Germany, England, Africa, and Italy. In general Creole cooking is more sophisticated fare. Sam I live in Southwest Louisiana and if you want true Cajun cooking you need to go the Lake Charles, Cameron, Lafayette, Breaux Bridge, and Abbeville areas; or better yet my house.

Re: Baitcast reel for 1/4 oz rig for long distance
I hold 7 bait casting titles far distance/accuracy; the key is not just in the reel but in the rod. My first two titles were won with a Abu Garcia 5500 mounted on Fenwick rods, the next two were with a Shimano Bantam 100 mounted on a Kunnan sticks, & the last three in a row were with a Calcutta CT50A mounted on a CastAway CSAP68. This year I'll be using a Shimano® Chronarch® 50Mg mounted on a G. Loomis BCR804 GLX and firmly expect to win my eighth.

Spring strategies
Ok here's the scenario The first thing I look at is weather: Forecasted weather for Jasper, Texas 02/21/07-02/23/07 Temperatures: Mid 70's during the day & Mid to Upper 40s with some 50s at night Wind: Light & Variable Humidity: Scattered Showers & Thunderstorms Barometer: 29.96 & rising Sunrise: 6:51 am Sunset: 6:08 pm The second thing I look at is the lake conditions: As of 2/21/2007 7:00 AM the lake level is 169.73 msl with generator #1 currently shut down, generator #2 currently running 24 hours a day, and spillway gates closed. Water temperatures running from upper 40s to mid 50s, North Lake and Mid Lake areas are murky while the South Lake is clear. The third thing I look at is seasonal patterns: I'll be fishing the south lake area since this is my stomping grounds and the bass are still in pre-spawn located in water depths of 3 to 9 foot. The fourth thing I look at is where to launch Jack's 944 marina has an excellent boat ramp with access into Bull Creek which is perfect for per-spawn since it protected on 3 sides from the weather. I will launch 15 minutes before day light since I will not even have to start the outboard. The fifth thing is lure selection Since I'm looking at pre-spawn bass I'll start a white ½ oz Stanley Wedge with double gold willow leaf blades. Other rods will be a Red Chrome Rat-L-Trap, Watermelon/ Neon Stanley Wedge Tail Lizard Texas Rigged with a 3/16 oz bullet weight, Gene Larew 5 Salty Hawg Craw Black/Neon Texas Rigged with a ¼ oz bullet weight, and finally a Oldham's Lures Trailer Hitch Jig, 3/8 oz Black/Blue, Gene Larew Salty Hawg Craws in 6 with 1 ½ cut off the tail The sixth thing will be areas to target I main target will be the outside and inside weed lines as well as all available buck brush and button willows. I'll work the creek channel since it zigzags back and forth from one side of the cove to the other. I work all boat slips that lead up to boat docks and boat sheds. Next I'll work my way to back of Bull Creek and slowly work the flats along the creek channel. Finally I'll work my way back to the front of Bull Creek targeting any areas where I caught fish.

removing jon boat seats
You can remove the seat but you will have to add additional ribs, probably 2 ribs for each seat, and maybe 3. The you will still need to address the problem of foam flotation which I believe is mandatory by the USCG.

Outboard Vs. ROCK question
Stainless Steel Prop, I would not own anything else Toledo Bend is known for eating outboards, I've knocked the lower unit off a Merc 150 and seen the transom knocked out of a Trition.
-
pitching baits
I pitch with the same baits I cast with I cast with the same baits I flip with There is no difference
-
Outboard Vs. ROCK question
I fish on Toledo Bend and hit a stump or two almost every time out; I don't worry about as long as it's a hit at slow speed. For minor chip or dings in the prop just file them smooth and then slightly sharpen the edge. If you hit some thing hard enough to bend a shaft you would have to be going over 5 mph; most of the time a slow speed hit will kill the engine.

Idea for a Fishing Class (your opinions)
I do classes for teens (12-19) free of charge; mostly cover basics Bait Casting: how to string line, adjust drag, adjusting centrifugal brakes, casting, flipping, and pitching. Techniques: Texas Rigs, Jig-N-Craw, Carolina Rigs, Wacky Rigs, Drop Shots, Spinner Baits, Lipless Crank Baits, Buzz Baits, Jerk Baits, Spoons Structure: map reading, identifying productive structure, boat positing Seasonal patterns: weather & lunar phases Boat operation: USCG safe boating course This is just a few topics covered I also do advanced on the water classes; the student only pays for expenses incurred

500
The only thing that would have changed is Mark Martin would have won and Kevin Harvick would have been second. The wreck took place behind the leaders and did not impend their finishing the race so no caution was the correct call.

adding salt to the wound?
Gremlin, Pacer, Vega, & Pintos are all icons of a bygone era I had a buddy who had a 1972 Gremlin X that came stock with a 304 cu. in. V8; we bored, stroke, blue printed and balanced it. That ugly little mellow yellow thing was actually fast, couldn't keep up with my Hurst Olds Cutlass but it wasn't bad.
