FALCON

THANKS MIKE, BUT MY WIFE THINKS WE'RE TOO CHUMMY NOW. I DO LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU. IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THE ICE I WOULD INVITE YOU TO FISH MY BACKYARD. (LAKE ST. CLAIR) MAYBE YOU CAN COME BACK IN MAY OR JUNE.

BD, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND,MY CANAL AND THE CANAL WHERE THE BOAT LAUNCH ARE FROZEN. MY 25' BAJA CENTER CONSOLE IS A LITTLE TOO HEAVY TO CARRY TO THE LAKE. IN THE SPRING THERE MANY DAYS I FISH IN MY SNOWMOBILE SUIT.....IT ISN'T THE COLD IT'S THE ICE.

I WILL BE THERE ON THE FOURTH WHEN THE DOORS OPEN. I HAVE A LIST AS LONG AS MY LEG AND I DON'T WANT THEM TO RUN OUT OF STOCK. I'M ALSO STAYING THERE FOR THE MUSKIE SEMINAR BY PETE MAINA. THE WEEKEND YOU ARE GOING TO BE THERE I'LL BE DRIVING BY THE STORE. MAYBE I CAN CONVINCE MY WIFE TO STOP SO I CAN MEET YOU.

WOW, WHAT A FISH!!! THANKS FOR THE PICTURES AND ALL THE INFORMATION.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN, LITERALLY. I'VE HAD TENNIS ELBOW BEFORE, IT'S PAINFUL. THE DOCTOR SAID THE ONLY CURE IS REST AND TAKE ANTI-INFLAMITORY MEDS. FORTUNATELY FOR ME MINE WAS IN THE WINTER AND DIDN'T HAMPER MY FISHING. I HOPE EVERYTHING WORKS OUT FOR YOU. REST AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND WEAR THE BRACE IT DOES HELP. GOOD LUCK, RICK

AMEN!!! CABIN FEVER, FISHING POX, WHATEVER YOU CALL IT I HAVE A SEVERE CASE. LAKE ST. CLAIR ISN'T FROZEN BUT MY CANAL IS SO I'M STILL UNABLE TO FISH. FORTUNATELY THE BPS CLASSIC IS THIS WEEKEND. MAYBE THEY WILL LET ME FISH IN THE AQUARIUM. (I'VE HAD MY EYE ON THOSE BIG SMALLMOUTH FOR WEEKS NOW)

IN A HEARTBEAT!!!!

THE WIND BREAKER IS A GREAT IDEA. I WOULD BE PROUD TO DISPLAY MY AFFILIATION WITH THIS SITE. I'D LIKE ONE IN TEAL OR BLUE TO MATCH MY BAJA.

ASK WHITTLER, HE DOES BEAUTIFUL WORK.

LOOKS GREAT TO ME!! NICE JOB.

WELCOME RUSS, FROM ONE BASSAHOLIC TO ANOTHER. YOU'VE CERTAINLY COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE. RICK

IF YOU'RE A BASSAHOLIC THIS IS THE BEST PLACE TO BE IF YOU CAN'T BE ON THE WATER.

I CAUGHT MY BIGGEST SMALLMOUTH (6 LB-15 OZ) ON AUGUST 20, 2003. HERE ON LAKE ST. CLAIR WE CATCH THEM THAT SIZE FROM APRIL THROUGH OCTOBER.

IF YOU DON'T MIND WINTER SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN IS GREAT. I LIVE ON LAKE ST. CLAIR AND WE HAVE WORLD CLASS SMALLMOUTH AND MUSKIE FISHING WITH BETTER THAN AVERAGE LARGEMOUTH AND WALLEYE. THERE A NUMBER OF INLAND LAKES TO CHOOSE FROM WITH GOOD LARGEMOUTH FISHING. WE ALSO HAVE PRO SPORTS TEAMS IN HOCKEY, BASKETBALL,BASEBALL, AND FOOTBALL (ALTHOUGH WE TRY NOT TO GET TOO FRUSTRATED WITH THE LIONS AND TIGERS). COUNTLESS MALLS AND MUSEUMS.

IF YOU CAN GET THE OCTOBER 2005 ISSUE OF "BASSMASTER". THERE IS AN IN DEPTH ARTICLE ON THE SUBJECT. TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURE....YOU'LL BELIEVE!!!

KVD, BECAUSE HIS STYLE IS MORE LIKE MINE. I'D LOVE TO SPEND A COUPLE DAYS FISHING WITH HIM SO I COULD PICK HIS BRAIN. PLUS HE IS FROM MICHIGAN. I ALSO LIKE LARRY NIXON ALOT.

NOT A SPORT?????? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FISHED FOR EIGHT HOURS IN TWO-THREE FOOT WAVES WHILE OPERATING THE TROLLING MOTOR, CASTING TO A SPECIFIC SPOT, FIGHTING A FOUR-FIVE POUND SMALLMOUTH, GETTING THE LANDING NET, ALL THE WHILE TRYING NOT FALL OUT OF THE BOAT. I WAS A WIDE RECIEVER IN FOOTBALL AND A CENTER FIELDER IN BASEBALL. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN I CAME HOME FROM FISHING MORE TIRED THEN IF I PLAYED A COMPLETE GAME. YES, WE'RE FISHERMEN BUT WE'RE ALSO ATHLETES.

WAIT FOR THE DEALS!!!! OUR SPRING CLASSIC STARTS IN EIGHTEEN DAYS AND I'M GOING OUT OF MY MIND. THEY HAVE MFG. REPS THERE WITH GOOD PRICES ON THEIR PRODUCTS. AND IF YOU ARE THERE AT THE RIGHT TIME THEY GIVE OUT FREEBIES. I WAS THERE A FEW WEEKS AGO AND ASKED THE CLERK IF THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE THE REEL TRADE-IN. HE SAID HE THOUGHT THEY WERE BUT IF NOT THERE WOULD BE GOOD SALE PRICES ON ALL REELS. BE PATIENT, IT'S WORTH THE WAIT.

GREAT INFORMATION SHELLBACK!!

HI RYAN, IN MY OPINION EDUCATUON IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. ONCE YOU HAVE THE EDUCATION IF YOUR DREAMS DON'T COME TRUE YOU WILL HAVE A DEGREE TO FALL BACK ON. WHILE IN SCHOOL YOU CAN FISH TOURNAMENTS IN THE SUMMER.

HI KID WITH A RAPALA, WELCOME TO THE BEST FORUM EVER. I'M FIFTY-SIX YEARS OLD AND STILL LEARNING. BUT THIS SCHOOL IS FUN. AS HAS BEEN SAID BEFORE EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER. LISTEN TO DEUCEU72 AND START A DAILY FISHING LOG IT IS GREAT FOR REFERENCE. (THERE IS A GOOD ONE ON THIS SITE) HERE'S TO A GREAT FISHING SEASON.

WITHOUT A DOUBT MINE IS COLD FRONTS. I FISH ULTRA CLEAR WATER ALL THE TIME SO THAT IS NO PROBLEM. BUT BRING A COLD FRONT THROUGH WITH IT'S CLEAR BLUE SKIES AND STRONG NORTH OR EAST WIND..........................JUST SHOOT ME.

WELL I LIVE ON A LAKE, I'M OUT ALMOST EVERY DAY. IF FISHING IS A DISEASE I HOPE THEY NEVER FIND A CURE!!!!!

TIRE WEIGHTS ARE THE ONLY WAY TO GO. I'VE USED THEM FOR YEARS.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A LINK FOR GARY YAMAMOTO'S INSIDE LINE? I DIDN'T KNOW HE HAD A MAGAZINE.
