brushhoggin

….and to see the same folks that were here like 15 years ago. Hope everyone is doing well and thank y’all for being an endless source of knowledge for the longest time now. I’ve since moved to Louisiana and I’m looking for some good ol boys to maybe go find some redfish or trout sometime. I still bass fish but I’ve transitioned into more of a saltwater guy. Anyone live in new orleans and wanna chase some redfish in the canals sometime? Hell I’ll go throw some lures in city park if y’all want. it’s coolin off so I’m just trying to network and have some fun. Cheers.

this picture may answer your initial question... btw this isn't my picture

the first bait i ever bought were earthworms

it is. i only did it by accident, astral projection, least i think thats what that was. doesn't happen anymore but it would always happen during naps in the daytime. every time it happened i would tell myself to be courageous next time and let it happen. each time i'd get a little further but not by much. i could go into details but they were very random and surreal.... always different. the heavy vibration and loud noise was the only thing consistent in each one. The vibrating got heavier and heavier the longer i'd let it go. It always happened at that stage you're in right before you are fully asleep. half awake per say. but each time i would snap out of it from fear. and i say 'snap out of it' because it was different than waking up. weird glitch in the brain that happens during the process of falling asleep.

yeah i guess i should've mentioned i am throwing the 05. a couple of people have mentioned fast action rods. you dont find them a bit stiff for crankin'? thanks for all the replies.

Those things are light! I mean I know there probably isn't a set up that's going to straight up launch these things, but one does not simply "find a heavier crankbait". What are you throwing them with? Thanks

shimmy sticks and ochos

i can attest to this http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20120802/SPORTS08/208020358/Fishing-report-Sweltering-summer-heat-sends-anglers-inside?nclick_check=1

d**n. not much else i can say. i'll never post in the "outtings" threads again after seeing that.

dang man that's sweet! congratulations bud thats a hell of a gig. i would love to see him headbutt a few snakeheads

you are the coolest old fart ever. we would get along so well. dave holland is a guru! love the music he made with bill frisell

anybody ever listen to king crimson? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IJs8KvlYU8&feature=related

Honestly i've only heard stories about Reunion, but i take my buddy's word on it. And caroline is tough as well but its got some big bass. They stock it every year. What's key is when they cut down the trees to make room for houses, they piled em up and made basically a wall of wood, deep and right down the middle of the lake in a lot of parts. i can get exact details on location for you if you ever get in. Its produced good bass for me. Pete Ponds lives there and i've seen him catch some nice fich outta there. i'd love to fish some docks out there right now in this heat.

my name is brushhoggin and i approve this message

nice to have yet another mississippian around. if you make it to jackson maybe we can do some pond hopping.

don't really hear a whole lot about lake fork craw tubes. this bait has worn out my thumb this summer. also, the 8" Producto tournament worm

snapped my LTA Helium yesterday, settin the hook on a fish that hit my frog right in the middle of some heavily matted grass. i think i had my line wrap around my rod tip right after casting. she hit right when the frog landed so i paid little to no attention to my rod tip, and more to the strike...setting the hook with all the leverage at a foot and a half from the tip. i wanted to stab myself in the face.

if you live in madison, i'd be doing everything i could to fish lake caroline if i were you. and reunion. if you get in i'll be your best friend

i agree with the above post. early morning. ideally i like to start throwing at 5:15 in the summer. the water has had all night to lose some heat! this is when i have caught my biggest.

no that doesn't look like a bass heaven or anything. psshhh

good luck buddy. swim a big, dark lizard through the pads

That place is a freakin mudhole thats been sprayed to oblivion. Not to mention theres a tournament on it every freaking weekend so it just ends up being a *h*issing match between them and the pleasure boaters. i still manage to fish it a few times a month though, because i am insane. The "best" places usually are up river above highway 43 and pelahatchie bay. right now, before sunrise we have just been bank fishing on the main river since the current is next to nothing, and riding around looking for shad action. As the day progresses/sun comes out, we look for pads (whats left of them) next to deep water. I will admit...its a tough hole. Huge body of water and it's tough narrowing down location. People fish the rocks by the cause ways successfully and if we can get a few days of rain, stripers will bite at the spillway. There are huge stripers in the rez. PM me if you wanna chat about it more. i'd be going to calling panther right now if i were you. good to have you here!
