    With out getting to scientific crayfish (crawfish, crawdad, and mudbug) are found world wide except in the northern most regions where the ground freeze to depths below 4 feet. There are 3 families which can be divided into 370 species and 25 genera, colors vary with reds, greens, blues, browns, and whites

  14. The problem with LSU is their play calling is not aggressive enough; Jimbo Fisher needs to air the ball out. Too many offensive coordinators both in college and pros have the erroneous idea that you have to first run the ball in order to set up the pass. Sometimes you have to first pass the ball in order to set up the run. Case in point do you think the Colts will try to run the ball first and then pass?
  15. My oldest brother fell off a ladder a couple years back shattering the bones in his left arm, even after rehabilitation he couldn't set hook with a bait caster with out major pain. He switched to a spin cast with braided line so he could set hook right handed and still fishes from shallow to deep, finesse to bubba baits with absolutely no problems.
  16. I'm a LSU and SEC fan but every so often a major upset comes along and this year there will be another Louisville Cardinals
  17. One has to consider more than just moon phases there is wind, weather, barometric pressure, seasons, water temperature, and so forth. No single factor controls nature alone it's a combination of all and that is why man can not predict when game/fish will become active. Bass are controlled by certain environmental factors that they must adhere to if they are to survive. 1. Reproduce effectively 2. Feed efficiently (maximize food intake and minimize energy output) 3. Prosper during extreme seasonal changes In my opinion to consistently catch bass it's about location, timing, and using simple techniques to perfection. I simple go fishing when the opportunity arises and deal with the conditions that exist when I arrive at my destination. Tommy T.
  18. There have been numerous books, articles, charts, ect. published on this great mystery of bass fishing. A lot of the authors of these publications go through great lengths explaining how difficult it is to determine these times. It is really quiet simple to determine these times for your self with a little inside information. River and salt water publications go through great lengths explaining how difficult it is to determine tidal movements. The reality is that these best times and tidal movements are related to the moon's phases. People in animal husbandry, farming, hunting, and fishing has used the moons phases for centuries. One of the oldest publications giving this information is the "Poor Richard's Almanac". The moon's phases are divided into four quarters, two of which are your minor times, and two of which are your major times. The times for the major periods are as follows An hour and a half prior the moon reaching its apex An hour and a half prior to the moon reaching its perigee The major periods are the first quarter new moon and the third quarter full moon. The gravitational pull of the sun and moon is three times greater on the new moon than the full moon. At the time of the new moon the earth has the moon and the sun in a straight line pulling together. This first quarter, dark night phase differs from the third quarter full moon phase when the earth moves between the moon and the sun. The new moon dark night is only difficult on the angler because you must rely on your sense of feel when working your bait. If you want to really learn how to fish baits that require a lot of feel like worm or jigs try nights. The times for the minor periods of these moon phases are as follows An hour and a half prior to the raising of the moon on the horizon. An hour and a half prior to the setting of the moon. Now take into consideration the above listed times you end up with 3 hrs. of major time periods and 3 hrs. of minor times periods. This does not take into account weather, seasons, or your ability to locate fish!
  19. All of my spinner baits Call Hawgs; no seriously Hawg Caller spinner baits are excellent. What you need to look at are the swivels, the better made swivels will let the blade spin easier. I personally use Stanley Wedge Plus because I believe they give of more vibration than any blade made.
  20. My goal for 2007 would be to make a trip some where for some small mouth fishing I just can't decide on where. :-/
  21. I guess you can't buy the reel seat?
  22. Merci Beau Coup guys I'm a fanatic about having rods with exposed blanks; I bought that rod some years back at of all places a K-Mart store. Another thing I like about the reel seat is the entire front part turns allowing you to really tighten down on the reel as you can tell in the photo I once had to use channel locks to loosen it. Once again thank for your input Tommy T.

    Us old-timers have done exactly what Paparock is proposing but with a depth finder and a topo map, a little more time consuming yes, any less effective certainly not. This sport like most has become possessed by the almighty dollar; there are people who honestly believe the best anglers are the ones who have the most expensive equipment.
