I wish some one would invent a heater that fits in inside my Calcutta's that cast aluminum gets really cold this time of the year.

I love pre-spawn cause you gotta stay cocked, locked, & ready to rock

I think mine be pointed down :-/

Charlie if you're scared just say you're scared :'( Ronnie I got me a couple bucks I can put on the Hooker

Salts are not the only chemical that can cause corrosion There are acids in the air as well as other contaminates all of which are capable of causing corrosion. The key is the protective coating on the reel; any scratch is an entry point for corrosion, which is why I recommend using a quality reel cover at all times when the reel is not in your hands. Another reason magnesium is no longer used in the Aerospace industry is that it can under proper conditions self ignite and burn with a uncontrollable flame that is near impossible to extinguish. Here are some of its uses flares and pyrotechnics, including incendiary bombs.

Not only do the bass move up with rising water levels they also scatter out

Bottom composition has a lot to do with where bass spawn, here on Toledo Bend its sandy bottoms, up in the mid-wed where you're from its chunk rock/gravel. I have also learned is that once the bass have moved up shallow, a cold front has moved them back deep, and so on. Well after each successive round of warming trends/cold fronts the bass don't move quite as far as they do during the first couple of round. The first couple of times they may move to the outside weed line and the next couple of times they may only move to the inside weed line. As weather conditions gradually improve it takes a more drastic change to drive them to real deep water. Pre-spawn fishing is all about timing, if your off by a day you get skunked, but if your timing is right you load the boat.

Russ aint you a salt water angler as well? I say let's go ahead and raise the money for a challenge here

Let the rod do the casting that's what it was designed for Wrist & elbow Keep your elbow close to the body

I recently acquired a Shimano® Chronarch® 50Mg and corrosion is my major concern since magnesium is highly susceptible to corroding. Having worked in the Aerospace industry as a Manufacturing Engineer I can tell you once magnesium starts to corrode it close to impossible to stop. The corrosion that affects magnesium is called intergranular corrosion which is a type of corrosion that forms along the boundaries of the metal grain inside a piece of metal. In layman terms the corrosion in inside the metal itself? Another problem is that fact that magnesium can produce it's own oxygen, once you have a tiny scratch in the protective coating corrosion will enter the metal, you treat the surface corrosion, seal the surface but all is to no avail because the corrosion has entered the inside the metal. My suggestion would be to purchase a good reel cover, never use the reel in brackish or salt water, and have it cleaned/inspected yearly by a reputable reel mechanic. Tommy T

The #1 requirement for moving bass shallow during pre-spawn is sun light? While this is a true statement it is not the entire equation, let's examine the pre-spawn conditions a little closer. If we have sunny days warming the water this usually means we'll have dropping temperatures at night due to the fact there is no cloud cover to retain the heat. Add to this wind factures which usually accompany sunny high pressure weather, again we will see a drop in temperatures at night. Cold night time temperatures and windy conditions will negates any temperatures rises obtained during daylight hours. The ideal conditions would be 3 or 4 partly sunny warms days accompanied by 3 or 4 warm nights with little or no wind. This weather pattern will warm the water and hold the temperature steady longer than 3 or 4 days of just sun light. So when making your plans to head out for some pre-spawn fishing watch your weather channel for a night time warming trend. Tommy T

Comparative Features/Benefits of Lens Materials Each lens material has a unique set of features and benefits. Here are the basics: High index plastics The best choice if you want the thinnest, most attractive lenses possible. Range from 20% to 65% thinner than plastic lenses (depending on refractive index). The higher the refractive index, the thinner the lens (and the higher the cost). Most high index plastic lenses provide 100% protection from the sun's UV rays. Anti-reflective (AR) coating is essential for the best optical performance and appearance. High index glass Over twice the weight of high index plastic lenses of the same thickness. Some high index glass lenses do not meet the minimum Impact resistance standard required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Excellent scratch resistance. Less than 2 percent of eyeglass lenses sold in the U.S. are made of high index glass. Polycarbonate The best choice if you want the safest and/or lightest lenses possible. Over ten times more impact resistant than regular plastic lenses. Used in safety eyewear and sports goggles as well as general purpose eyewear. Recommended for children's eyewear and whenever eye safety is a primary concern. Up to 40% thinner and 30% lighter than regular plastic lenses. Provide 100% protection from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. The second most popular lens material in the United States, accounting for approximately 20 percent of all eyeglass lenses sold. Plastic The best choice if you want the most economical lenses possible. Excellent optical clarity (comparable to glass lenses). Due to thickness, not recommended for higher prescription powers. Can be easily tinted to dark sunglass shades. The most popular lens material in the United States, accounting for over 50 percent of all eyeglass lenses sold. Glass The best choice if you want excellent optics and scratch resistance, a relatively low price, and you are willing to tolerate heavier lenses. Excellent optical performance, providing the widest field of clear vision. The most scratch resistant lens material available. Glass lenses don't require scratch-resistant coatings for added durability. (All other lens materials do.) More than twice the weight of other lens materials. Due to thickness and weight, recommended only for mild prescription powers. Declining in popularity, accounting for less than 8 percent of eyeglass lenses sold in the United States.

CJBasswacker Not at all, what I'm saying is bass spawn where they live On some large bodies of water there are shallow water (shoreline) bass and there are deep water bass and the two never meet.

Every body of water in every geological location is completely different Every bass in every body of water is completely different There are more environmental conditions evolved than we can imagine and no one has even mentioned biological conditions. All living creatures have a gestation period, the length of time from when the eggs first start developing until the eggs are laid. Until this time period has been reached the female will not lay her eggs. There are way too many environmental and biological conditions required for the spawn to take place so at best we can only guess based on our each individual geological location. Toledo Bend Reservoir is 65+ miles long, bass start spawning on the North end as early as Mid-January and continues down South until late April or early May. Shoreline related bass will spawn in water as shallow as 6 to 8, while main lake bass will spawn in water 8 to 12'. Bass will spawn when ever and where ever environmental and biological conditions a favorable.

Now that's funny right there
