Well... that didn't fix it... I'm out of ideas. I thought because I was pulling my photo from FB that it wasn't resizing it correctly, but that wasn't the issue! Sorry everyone, I know this is probably annoying!

Clear your cache and try again. I think I found the problem... Is this post super long?

A-Jay, I have no idea what is causing these issues, so I'm sorry it's happening. It's only occuring to a few users.

I use smaller swimbaits during pre-spawn, spawn and post-spawn. I don't usually bring out the 6" baits until summer and then use them until winter. I like to throw Shadalicious swims in 4.5 inch after spawn and usually throw a tiny tim swimbait or small fluke before and during spawn. I fish spawn conditions like I do post front - sloooooow!

Usually not that quick... If I spook fish, I stand really still and wait awhile then start fishing. They usually come back if you can act like a ninja

Lol I need to get white hair and some flashabou.

Was going to use that blue for the top, fade some gray and white down the side, put in a chartreuse stripe, then end the bottom completely white with some flash, probably put the flash throughout too. Would make a killer swimjig! Steal that idea if you want, I really don't care haha

I need some flash - All I have is bucktails and marabou. I wanted to make sure I'd keep doing this before I went nuts. I have an idea for a 'sexy shad' hair pattern. I'm sure someone has done it by now though.

Yeah that is going to be my next target. I have some old spinnerbaits with junk skirts, they are getting haired LOL

Thanks Jig, I love tying these jigs more than I do making flies (in fact, I haven't made any flies since LOL).

Thanks man! I need to get a better vise. Mine is too wide (the clamps) so it's hard to tie small stuff, but it's awesome for jigs like this.

I had a few 1/8 oz ball head jigs left, so I tied some hair (and some marabou) to them. Going to get some jigs without the plastic keeper... That gets in the way and makes the hair stand up funny. I think they turned out ok though for my second attempts!

Muskie bait...

Thanks! Jigs, tubes, any bottom bouncers are a safe bet now. If you get high, chocolate milk water like we do here, use something black. I love throwing hair jigs during floods

Find some creek mouths too if there are any around. Bass flock to creek mouths during high water also.

I'll admit I have been very busy with other projects and don't reply as much as I have in the past, but I think everyone's finally fishing instead of staring at ice

Flies to use: crawfish patterns, clouser Minnows, deceivers, bucktail streamers, wooly buggers... As far as areas to fish, hit the area where the Juniata dumps in.

Yes Sir! Finally got my launch permit for my NuCanoe and its been crappy ever since! Always nice out when I'm at work though

Professional batting and pitching instruction at ages 3, 8 and 12 AND you spent several hundred on it? Seriously? That would have bought them some nice fishing equipment... Teach 'em yourself I'm going to coach T-ball next season so my son can start a year early (they let coaches kids start at 3). Should be fun, ill make him the baseball star I wasn't... if he can't catch, he'll get a bat across the knuckles! I kid, I kid!

Yeah I've never seen bubble gum tubes either. Smallies love that color and tubes - combine the two and you have a winner!

I don't know if I'm going out or not. I have a nasty cold right now and I'm not about to stand in rain the way I'm feeling Probably hit Kish Creek if it isn't crowded (usually is) or just wait until next week when the 'excitement' dies off for everyone around here.

Nice looking tubes! Is that's Bear's mold?

The answer to everything is 42.... DONE!

Only need to inject if you have tiny parts or hard turns. That can be poured just fine, just have to do it quick LOL

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally I was always taught to multiply first, then do division.
