It will affect me alot. I was layed off for 8 months, took a job making less than unemployment. I will prob have to sell my old,paid for, stump jumper, because i can't afford to put gas in it.

I got mine a few days ago! 2011 spring angler! I wish I wasn't broke!

Nicw vid. I want to be out on the water soon.

It's not funny when 8 boats zero at weigh in. One boat caught a 6+pound bass. This was a tough day on the water. I even read where another group had a tourney at another lake and no one weighed any fish. I hope the fishing gets better for the rest of the year.

x2 I'll vote for that!

I just found out that my partner has descent knowledge of the lake. I'll have to rely on him for that. The lake is electric only so at least we don't have to fight the big boats.

I'm nervous about my first tourny this year. Its on a lake that ive never fished. I was told it was 8ft above normal. The temps around here have been in the low 40s during the day and 30s at night. The next couple of days are suppose to be warmer during the day. I am not real sure what is going to work.

Very nice. Can't wait for my first bass this year.

843+33=876

DOH! what Matt Fly said.

If he gives you a 100 you would not try as hard. By giving you a 95 its still an "A". And you keep trying. See my point.

You could mail them to me and I'll test the colors for you. ;D

Way to go

I havent' thrown many worms, but I do throw alot of lizards. How about the spinnerbaits? Let them sink or burnem'? Or just try different methods.

Oooh a jig sounds good. I just recently caught my first fish on a jig! I need to try that.

I'm going to a new lake tomorrow. The air temp will reach upper 80's. Water temp should be around 80. The weather is gonna be pre frontal with alot of clouds and showers possible. Wind will be 5-10 mph. I'm thinking about throwing a buzzbait, but not sure. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing. Looks like you had a good time.

That looks like an algae eater. Like the one in my aquarium, only bigger. :-?

I just want to know what the sign says!

If you don't have high blood pressure problems, try salt suppliment pills. You can get them at most pharmacies. The pills have sodium chloride and potassium chloride in them. They help you retain water in your muscles and keep the cramps down. It really helps me, I sweat like a ----- in church. ;)

perch are pretty common in the south. Most of the lakes in NC have them.

I have to be the first to say it. What's with the pants? :-[ J/K I love being comfortable also. Keep the ladies involved in fishing is my moto. My with loves to go, and my daughter askes every weekend to go.

Nice bass! Makes me want to get one now.

It finally happened! After years of not throwing a jig, I broke down a rigged one up. After a few hours and bam!! A monster 1.00 pounder ;D We moved the boat about 50ft and bam a 2.00 pounder! I was on cloud 9. You couldn't touch me with a 6ft6in pole! We did catch a few nice ones on plastics, but the largest was caught on a rattle trap, thrown in a school of shad. 4lbs8ozs.

It's great being a DAD! I took my oldest and a friend of his this past weekend and we had a blast! I'm a father of 4 as well. Looks like you guys a fun day.
