You only need spell checker if you misspell words. Don't misspell .

Man that's some temptation for a thread highjacking. I'll just keep it short and say, Great Post.

No worries mate...

K.I.S.S. Bass want the most meal for the least energy. Doesn't matter what it looks like as long as it wiggles like a meal. Ever seen a bass eat a goldfish?

Although RW probably wouldn't consider himself on the level of the best bass fishermen in the world, he's a pretty darned accomplished fisherman in his own right. He's simply offering another perspective that has worked for him in the past. You can't go wrong paying attention to his advice.

I'll repeat the fluke idea. I'd want to weight it properly though. You want it to fall at a slower rate like a stunned baitfish. Experiment with weights till you get a bite. I'd think a weight around 1/8 to 3/16 oz. would be just about right to start with. Twitch, twitch, then deadstick it. let it fall. fish it slow.

Probably a plate from one of those cheap Stellas...

Can't imagine how you could go wrong with that.

I got a new rod and reel for the wife....best trade I ever made! Sorry, I couldn't pass it up.

Looks like you want to know how to fish a part of Sebago Lake in Maine. If it were me, I'd get the waders and wade out on that sandbar and drag a jig across the point to the east (up is north in these pics). And then I'd walk out to the end of the sandbar and cast across the saddle to the northwest with a spinnerbait or a jig/craw. Another cast I'd try is to wade a little way out on the point that you already fished and cast along that dropoff carved by what appears to be a creek channel. You're trying to drag something along that sharp edge. I would also fish that old boat slip too. GOOD LUCK!

Niiiice! I wish they had their Rage Tail stuff on clearance when I was there. I stole a Loomis rod from Dicks almost the same way. I never go into a Dicks now without asking if there's anything on clearance. Many times there are things on clearance that aren't marked yet. Good score!

Robert have you checked out the Legend boats? I don't have any experience with them but what I've seen has been pretty good. CJ from this site has one that I got to look over at the last Roadtrip and I really liked what I saw. I know he was banging that boat at some high speeds through some three to four foot rollers on Kentucky Lake last year and lived to tell about it.

I think Big O would have put him on the fish ...that were TWICE the size.

Interesting how he left the tail connector on the bait for a bigger profile. Only at Falcon does the Rooster need a bigger profile!

My mother went to high school with a guy named Peter Shorter. My dad works with the guy now. I think his parents hated him at birth. Also my wife's cousin is a school teacher who taught a little boy named JaMajesty.

Pats are up 45-10 in the 4th quarter. Hunt those witches down! I'm going outside to get this torch lit right now!

Every time I get thinking like that I remember the words of a pastor friend of mine. He said if we all had to bring our troubles into the town square and throw them in a big pile for all to see, we would quickly grab our own little contribution to the pile and run home.

The best customer service Lowrance could give you would be to buy you a couple new Humminbirds!

The first thing I would do is disconnect the ground connection where it is bolted to the trailer. Thoroughly check the squeezed on eye connector to make sure the wire doesn't have any broken strands. If theres any concern , cut it off and squeeze on a new one. If its good then wire brush the connector and the spot where it makes contact with the trailer, apply some dielectric grease like Penetrox, and bolt it back together. If the problem doesn't go away, you might have an OPEN in your ground wire. The way to check this is to test for continuity between the ground pin on your trailer plug and a BARE SPOT on the trailer. Very important to find a good spot where there's no paint or rust to insulate your test. If you have continuity, then you have a good ground. If there's no continuity, then I'd replace the entire ground wire on the trailer. If you kicked up a rock and hit the wire enough to break it or the wire has rubbed a bare spot in it from vibration, it could produce the effect your having. Let us know what you find.

I have the terrova 101 with ipilot. The features of the ipilot are amazing. The spot lock feature has allowed me to fish in windy conditions easily. The track recording gets used all the time. It is like having a chauffeur in the boat. I use the remote control from the back of the boat or from the shore to dock the boat. It has many features that make it very easy to do many things that are difficult if not impossible to do with a cable steer TM. Regarding the recessed pedal, I cannot comment on that because I don't have one. The foot pedal on the Terrova is very, very flat, and it is very easy to use. Funny thing is though, I don't use the pedal that much. I keep the remote clipped to my belt. I just lock the autopilot on a heading and fish away. I make small adjustments with the remote and sometimes with the pedal. I can measure the pedal for you if you need an actual measurement to compare.

Supertuned Chronarch 50mg. Smooth as buttah. (thanks DVT!)

If I were out bass fishing and ran into a bunch of aggressive pike or musky, I would switch and start catching them. Pike and musky are fun to catch. Tournament setting is a diff story tho.

Third quarter... Alabama's gonna win. Going to bed. Yawn.

Guys I think we lost Tom.
