for what its worth, had an ex pour 2 qts in my koi pond outside my house. water looked like *** for weeks, but it cleared up and nothing died at all...i was surprised

at what water temp do they start staying deep mostly? i had planned on trying this some this winter, but want to get an idea of what im doing since ill be freezing my arse off. being able to catch some fish would keep me fairly warm,at least mentally.in a lake thats approx 25-30 ft deep with creek channels,where would they likely try to hang at? in the channel,or on the edges? or around humps?

yes, tournaments suck...but with the money involved they will never go away sadly

haha, sounds like my problem. i HATE going when its my buddys turn to drive and take his boat. boy cant operate at all. he cant run it and fish at the same time literally!. he runs it on high everywhere and will troll to a spot and wont let off until he is ON it. then we coast past it while i hurry to try to fish it. and doesnt understand the concept of bumping the motor to keep the boat straight. when he lets off, the boat has been known to drift in 2 complete circles while he fishes. then when hes done with that spot,its wide open to the next 50 yards and all over again. drives me NUTS. i try to tell him, but he just doesnt get it...oh and if he backlashes, i might as well take lunch cause we aint movin for awhile...lol. except i would have to eat about 20 times per trip LOL

i wish i knew what time was the right time ...ive tried em all and it just plain sucks right now

i have all baitcasters now, and i cant even use another type of reel. ive only had these new reels since about july. other rels feel like im grinding coffee now and makes me sick to have one in my hand. flipping,pitching,casting,i love em to death. day or night

thats why i like my hotfoot...

me and my buddy go anywhere from 2-5 times a week...6-8 hrs at least a time...and we've been known to stay through the night and fish through the next morning ,like 15 hrs straight fishing and barely catching a breath to grab a sandwich on the boat...i think we have a problem

d**n, they are hitting nothing like that around here...still slow as hell for 2 weeks or more now... end up having to pitch jig the cover to get anything. and even that is nothing big at all. usually not even keepers. im sure they are deep but every time i try that, its a big disapointment and 0 fish.i keep tryin though,just never clicks

i did exactly that last week too

does your scale say 6.05? or 6 and 5 ozs? i ask cause mine doesnt read ozs. just in decimal form. so if it said 6.05,that wouldnt be 5 oz

yeah, i dont know who uses that stuff or dont, but ive seen all the fish swim off after a tourney only to see a whole bunch floating the next day. it really sucks. as many tournaments that happen, there needs to be something done about that,even if its shortening the time on the water

some of those fish dead? i always see dead fish floating at the dock after a tournament. lots of nice 4+ lbers too. makes me sick

well it was dark so i dont know, but i do know i thought it hit the side of the boat but it had a duller sound...lol. it had to hurt. probly a 4 lb bass that threw it and he was pulling hard. and my camera was a little wet from the incident and i was afraid of even trying to turn it on. may be junk,i havent tried it yet. im hoping the motor is ok. i ran it over with the plugs out and i cant see but a couple drops of water that came out and it never cranked over since that happened cause i didnt want to hydrolock it and make a bad night worse. it just took awhile to troll back to dock. 1 1/2 hrs to be exact...lol. im just amazed the bilge pump kept running and all the elctronics never failed on anything. i kept waiting for a fuse to blow since the fuse panel was a ft under water. hell everything electric was under water. oyu could feel the current in the water in the boat when we were bailing water,but we pretty much had no choice and i really didnt want to make the news if possible

oh i know its probly happened alot. i just never dreamed it would go down like that ,that fast. but it does have a 175 on the back, so it aint exactly light. and the fishing turned out ok, halfway decent night. except the good fish spit the bait and hit my buddy square in the forehead with a deep diver crank. no hooks got him though thank god. but for sure, most eerie feeling in my life ever when that water came in. i htought the boat was gone
