I think Iaconelli was supposed to come out with a show like that. Haven't seen any news on it though. http://www.mikeiaconelli.com/news.php?id=106

I flat out catch more fish with fluoro. So as for me, I will not be going back to mono for jerkbaits. Just try it.

Fished those conditions today. Surface temp of 50deg. Had 2 bites, caught both on a greenpumpkin jig with the tip of my chunk dyed chartruese. A 2lber and a 4lber. Was nice to finally get the boat out.

Thanks. I'll definatly give those things a try this spring.

Think coffee with cream. Haha. Hog muddy. Sometimes you can maybe see 8" if that.

Left the hook in. Didn't want to do more damage. I have found it is better to leave the hook in the fish when hooked in a bad spot rather than try to get it out. Most of the time the fish will work the hook out on their own.

Had an important tournament last month. Fishing was tuff. One of my fish got hooked on the back of the tongue and was bleeding. I poured 8oz of 7-up on it. Put him in the live well and thew a couple cap fulls of rejuvanade in the well. Weighed him in at the end of the day live and well.

Thanks for the advise.

I am trying to figure out how to catch these smallies. Every year in the spring there are a lot of tournaments I am in on the Ohio River and we get those spring rains and the water gets really muddy and swift. I can catch a few smallies sometimes on black tubes but thats about it. The area I fish only has a few small backwaters that will get packed with a lot of boats in a 150 boat field trying to catch largemouths. So those largemouths get too much pressure and won't hold up for 2 days. So I need to figure out how to catch those smallmouths in the mud. Once the mud is gone I can tear the big smallies up consistantly. Any suggestions?

Check out All Pro Rods Smallmouth Guru rods. Made in good ol' Tennessee and Stephen Headrick helped design them. Great rods, as are all the APR's. US made by US workers.

1/8oz from 1ft to 40ft...the heavier the weight the more you get snagged
