Ned Rig In Deep Water
I fish a lot of deep water on a highly pressured lake. We do real well with shakey heads in 30-40' range with 8 lb test. Most guys around here throw jigs, worms, cranks, and swimbaits. Has anyone had any luck with the Ned rig in 30-40' range?

Lews& Abu Revos,same Internals?
I own 10 lews reels and 4 Abu revos.(2 s, 1 sx, 1 gen 3 winch) I have replaced a few worm gears on the revos. I have replaced 2 clutch assemblies on the lews. I like both reels but the customer service is top notch at Lews. I will purchase more Lews reels in the future. I will also buy a revo if I can get them at a discounted rate. Lew's does sponsor some college teams and high school teams. I started a high school team at my last job and Lew's gave these kids a good discount to get them started. They was able to purchase 2 rod and reels there first year at a discounted rate. Seems like an awesome way to get more kids involved in a life long activity. I contacted numerous companies about some type of discounted program and no one had anything like what Lew's offered.

Repower Vs Rebuild Vs Buy Something Different
I have a 95 190 nitro with a 150 Mercury EFI. I am trying to weigh my options. I can repower this boat with a 150 HP 4 stroke for $10,500 with a 5 year warranty. A 175 HP pro xs for 12,500. The boat is in great shape to be 20 Years old. Resale will not be a problem because whatever I normally have I keep until it is scrapped. I want to have a boat that is efficient to fish out of everyday. I live on Pickwick lake. I thought about just going and buying a new tin boat (can't afford a new glass boat). I fish quite a few pot luck tournaments that the boat needs to be set up for. I have looked at used boats but prices are outrageous and you could be buying someone else's problems. Not completely opposed to this option. Thoughts?

Snow Or Ice And The Effects On Fishing
We had 70 degree weather 2 days ago and the fish was being caught in 12-15' range. Temperature Dropped 42 degrees yesterday and we had 1/2" of ice/sleet last night. Today's high is 32 with a low of 17. Saturday's high will be 55. I know the water temp will have dropped a degree or two. How does snow or ice on the land effect bass movement? (With melt off or run off Will they still be in same areas?

Weirdest Thing You've Ever Hooked?
I caught an alligator gar on a spro frog. It was about 3' long and was the hardest fighting fish I have ever caught. I lost my frog that day because those things have tons of teeth.

Fat Ika??
I ordered some of these based on Roadwarrior's sticky. I can't wait to get to try them. I hope they will produce because none of the tackle stores around here new what they were. Hopefully, it will be my own little secret weapon.

The Trap
I have varied my retrieves and changed my colors. I have not changed brands or changed sizes. The way I caught the fish the other day was with a straight retrieve. I tried to duplicate it and catch more fish with no luck.

The Trap
I have about been trying to catch some fish with the Trap for about 3 different fishing trips. THe water temp is between 53 and 58 depending on the time of day. The water is slightly stained. I have only managed one fish. I have caught fish in the same locations using other baits. I have to be doing something wrong because everyone else I talk to about this location, they are wearing them out on the trap. I have no clue.
