FALCON

I'D HAVE TO AGREE LBH. THE FIRST SMALLMOUTH BASS I EVER CAUGHT WERE IN THE RIVER AND I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE CURRENT THAT WAS ADDING TO THE FIGHT. BUT AFTER CATCHING THEM HERE ON THE LAKE THERE IS A BIT OF AN EDGE TO THE SMALLMOUTH.

I'VE ONLY CAUGHT NORTHERN STRAIN UNTIL NOW, BUT IN TWO WEEKS I'LL BE IN FLORIDA SO I WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE A COMPARISON THEN.

I'LL SECOND THAT LOW_BUDGET_HOOKERS.

SAME HERE

I'M A LITTLE PARTIAL, BUT I THINK YOU CAN'T BEAT LAKE ST. CLAIR. IT WAS VOTED ONE OF THE TOP TEN ON BASSCENTER AND IF YOU ASK KVD HE WILL SAY IT IS ONE OF HIS TOP FIVE. FOR SHEER NUMBERS ALONE YOU CAN'T BEAT IT, NOT TO MENTION IT'S NOT UNCOMMON TO CATCH BRUTES LIKE THE ONES IN ROAD WORRIOR'S AVATAR.

HI AVID, I LIVE ON A CANAL ON LAKE ST. CLAIR AND I'M AT THE END. IN THE SPRING THE END WALL IS ALOT SHALLOWER DO TO WIND PUSHING EVERYTHING THAT WAY. MOST OF THE BASS I CATCH ARE ALONG THAT BACK WALL.

HEY KELLEY, WE MUST BE MARRIED TO SISTERS. LAST YEAR WHEN I GOT MY BOAT MY WIFE DID THE SAME THING. I HAD A 16' PRINCECRAFT WHICH IS OK BUT I'VE HAD SIX SPINE SURGERIES AND I WAS GETTING BEAT UP TOO MUCH. SO I STARTED LOOKING AT 20'-22' CENTER CONSOLES SO I COULD STAND UP WHILE UNDER POWER. SHE LOOKED AT THE 25' BAHA SPORTFISH AND SAID SHE THOUGHT I WOULD BE HAPPIER WITH THAT BOAT.....................I LOVE THAT WOMAN. RICK

I'D HAVE TO GO WITH #3 JUST BECAUSE OF KVD. MY STYLE IS MORE LIKE HIS AND I'D WANT TO HEAR EVERYTHING HE HAS TO SAY.

WELCOME TRITON21, THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO GET INFORMATION.......ENJOY. BY THE WAY, NICE BOAT!!!

SUPER GLUE HAS A TWO-PART EPOXY. THAT'S WHAT I'VE ALWAYS USED.

I'D LIKE TO GET BETTER WITH SPINNERBAITS AND BUZZBAITS. MOST IMPORTANT: TAKE MY GRANDSONS FISHING MORE.

FOR ME IT'S; ANGLING EDGE CLASSIC PATERNS BILL DANCE

I AGREE WITH AVID, I ALWAYS REFERRED TO SHOOTING AT TARGETS IN THE WOODS AS PLINKING.

SOUNDS LIKE A SEVERE CASE OF "FISHING POX" TO ME. IT AFFECTS PEOPLE DIFFERENTLY. ME, I WALK AROUND THE HOUSE WITH MY EYES GLAZED OVER AND ARRANGE AND REARRANGE MY TACKLE BOXES AND MAKE SEVERAL TRIPS TO BPS AND GANDER MOUNTAIN.

GREAT GIFT!!!! DO LIKE THE OTHER GUYS SAID AND TAKE ALOT OF NOTES. YOU MENTIONED SPENDING MONEY AT BPS. I'VE TALKED TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE ATTENDED THE CLASSES AND THEY SAID THEY RECEIVED BAGS OF GOODIES FROM THE PROS. A COUPLE OF THEM SAID THE VALUE OF THE FREEBIES WAS WORTH MORE THAN THEY PAID FOR THE CLASSES. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN.

I AGREE!!! I ALWAYS WENT TO THE N.A.F.C. SITE BECAUSE I'VE BEEN A MEMBER FOR MANY YEARS. RECENTLY IT ISN'T AS MUCH FUN OR INFORMATIVE. THANKS GUYS.........HAVE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY HOLIDAY SEASON. RICK

I USUALLY TRY TO FOLLOW UP WITH A WORM AND IF THAT DOSEN'T WORK I DO WHAT THE_MUDDY_MAN SUGGESTS.

THIS SPRING AND SUMMER THE X-RAP WAS A FISH CATCHING MACHINE.

MY BIGGEST SMALLMOUTH IS 6 LB 15 OZ FROM LAKE ST. CLAIR. I CAUGHT IT THE OLD FASHIONED WAY, DRAGGING A BIG SHINER WITH A SPLITSHOT IN 12 FT. OF WATER. ALOT OF GUYS TALK ABOUT CATCHING SMALLIES ON TUBES BUT I DON'T HAVE MUCH LUCK WITH THEM. HERE ON ST. CLAIR CRANKS, JERKS,AND WORMS WORK BEST FOR ME.

GREAT POST!! I TRY TO REPAINT SOME OF MY OLD BAITS AS WELL AS THE ONES I CARVE MYSELF AND THEY LOOK LIKE A FIVE YEAR OLD PAINTED THEM. IT'S REALLY FRUSTRATING TO PUT SO MUCH TIME INTO CARVING AND SANDING A CRANKBAIT AND HAVING THE FINAL RESULT LOOK SO ROUGH. I NEED HELP!!!

I ALREADY DID IT. I LIVE ON LAKE ST. CLAIR (CHOSEN ONE OF BASSCENTER TOP TEN BASS LAKES A COUPLE WEEKS AGO). A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN EVERY DAY.

I UNDERSTAND YOU CAN CATCH THAT DREADED DISEASE "FISHING POX" FROM THE BAIT MONKEY. I HAVE A SEVERE CASE RIGHT NOW AND IT'S ONLY DECEMBER. I HAVE UNTIL APRIL BEFORE I CAN CURE IT.

FOR ME IT'S 1- KVD 2- TAKAHIRO OMORI 3- LARRY NIXON 4- GREG HACKNEY I HAD TO GO WITH FOUR.

IT'S ABOUT TIME THEY CAME TO THEIR SENSES. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THEY WOULD TAKE THE WORD OF A HABITUAL LIAR TO BEGIN WITH. GOOD NEWS FOR DAVID HAYES.

I BELONG TO N.A.F.C. AND HERE. I FIND MYSELF COMING TO THIS SITE MORE OFTEN RECENTLY.
