Well said! Mike

That's why we do what we do. Mike

I'm depressed! Defense just didn't show up Mike

Ditto Mike

Nah... Go back to bed, your ac is set too low. You must not have gotten the memo..They cancelled Autumn for down here. Mike

It was the only one he had left. Mike

Great Job!! Mike

I have more Fenwick's than any other brand but it just seemed to work out that way. My next rod will most definitely be an ALX. Most of my reels are Shimano's which again just happened to happen. Believe it or not the one I end up useing the most is a PQ. Mike

Believe me, I believe you!! Last spring I took a picture of a map the owner of a bait shop in Felsmere had but wouldn't sell me, it doesn't have any hazards marked tho. I'll definitely have one for the next trip. Thanks for the info. Mike

Tying together is the best way but when that isn't practical, a few squirts of L&L helps. Mike

Yes I know. Agree about the rest of the division. But it's not the only thing they have going for themselves. If they smell the playoffs this year I'll be fine Mike

Thanks Caught fish all around the flood gate area last spring and my PB in the SE and SW areas but the water was very high then never saw a stump. You're right there are monsters in there!! Mike

I've only been there 3 times myself all as a guest in a friends boat. When it gets closer we'll have to ask around to get a better feel for it. I have a few spots where we did very well but don't feel comfortable enough to tell you how to navigate to get there safely Mike

Sure if you want. It probably won't be until after the State Championship tho. I'll pm you after that to compare schedules. But keep in mind I don't have a boat. Mike

Yeah I know it's early, just like its early for everyone else... Just don't sleep on the Bears. If they stay healthy on defense and Trubisky keeps his head out of his a**...... Just sayin Mike

I did also for a long time until I changed to a composite rod and seem to like it better. Mike

I'm here! Pulled up stakes and been on the road a while. Should be getting to the east coast soon..The Stick has been calling my name for a while. The end of the month I have the B.A.S.S.Nation Florida State Championship upcoming. Hopefully I'll have something to report!! Mike

All things being equal... rod, reel, line diameter etc..... No, there shouldn't be any difference. Mike

Hello and Welcome Mike

Hello and Welcome Mike

Yeah Buddy! Other than on a c-rig they don't get much appreciation down here for anything else. Don't understand why. Mike

When useing trebled hard baits, All you need is a rod with a soft enough action to help keep them pinned. Mike

I use white as my primary color for bedding fish. I'll cycle through 3 or 4 different shapes and sizes of plastics but almost always white is my most successful color. Mike
