Oldham's Screw Lok

A grandson (Aiden Paul) due between the 10th and Christmas Oh yea he wants one of these!

All natural disaster is serious; I spent 3 weeks helping Katrina victims when on week 4 Rita hit us. Until you have personally been affected it's hard to understand, it's more mental than physical. I would rather a hurricane than blizzard; I hate ice unless it's in my tea. Everyone on the web site is in my prayers daily

3/8 & 1/2 oz Black/Blue & Black Neon will work at all depths and water colors 8-)

New Orleans had buildings still standing, this is Cameron, Louisiana 27 miles from my house in Lake Charles.

Not belittling what happened to dink but Rita has been overshadowed by Katrina Rita damage

Good luck ;D I just went to work yesterday at Academy as manager of the hunting & fishing department

Crank Baits!!!!!! > :-/ :'( I can catch on a Rat-L-Trap or Rogue but beyond that it's simply moving from stump to brush to clump of grass getting un-hung.

LBH, I sent you some pictures and hopefully you received them My computer will not let Microsoft Office Outlook E-mail work, I get messages showing I have new e-mail but I can not access them.

The expenses of running a tournament trail far exceed the amount paid by entry fees. If going through the proper channels has not produced the proper results then I suggest getting the backing of the membership.

I agree with colors as seen under different light conditions, different backgrounds, and at different depths. But one has to keep in mind all of these results are through man's eyes and man's brain. I also can list numerous occasions where after catching 1 or 2 bass on a particular color you would not get another bite until you changed colors. I quite confident that some instances it was color that triggered the strike and some were simply the mood of the bass changed. Based on what man perceives colors underwater to be it would be wise for the angler to carry every available color and combinations know.

All you rookies and less experienced anglers read what Randall said and then read it again!

Was it color or did the fish simply start biting?

I don't personally know Mr. Tilson or Mr. Leach but I've been around tournament fishing since 1973 and I'll say these are honorable men who when given the chance will try their best to correct any wrongs in their organization. Are ABA/BASS perfectly run organizations absolutely not; then how does one help change them. By being a strong member, attending meetings, and using the proper channels of authority within the organization.
