Am i supposed to be surprised? lol!

They are doing it mostly for the water fowl and loons. They eat the lead and die. Tungsten is getting cheaper and with more companies producing it it should hopefully keep dropping in price. but my question is...is it enough to ACTUALLY effect the population? are there mass groupings of loons dieing because of peoples jig heads? seriously?

I always thought there was financing through the boat dealer...or is that the same thing here?

Yup lead is being banned. There was a few guys talking about it at the BPS Spring event on Saturday (which was awesome). There are actually a few new england states that ban lead if im not mistaken? perhaps? But honestly. It literally will not stop me from fishing with lead. Call me ignorant, but if a trillion bazillion gallons of oil can spill and KVD can still destroy bass in an area said to have been effected? I cant imagine my swim jig causing a LMB holocaust but i know that you cant use them in tourneys in MA in 2012. Its all tungsten. which is WAY more expensive then lead. Also, they said that a BPS guy said they can still SELL lead stuff...but you cant "use it" in MA which makes no sense and just sounds like the "save the planet " yahoo's needed to get their grubby little hands on SOMETHING to make it seem like they accomplished something. I have the utmost respect for fish, the ponds and lakes, the wildlife environment in which i am fishin or hiking or biking, but to me...this seems ALL to political and completely unnecessary.

Adorable!

You are right. There are no Vista drivers for that card. I can into a similar case here at the shop and after hunting around the internet AND calling ATI, they said there are no available drivers compatible with Vista. (which USUALLY means there is no windows 7 driver either.)

going to BPS Foxboro tomorrow for some Woo Davis lovin' then hopefully i'll be so keyed up that when i head back i'll do some jiggin at my local pond, the bridge that runs across it, the pillars are all free from ice and hopefully I can get some bass who were looking for a chance to see some sky

Do what I did. Show up with a Bill of Sale and like 2500 CASH. and show that you have it in your hand. When I did that I got my boat for a decent amount less and he couldn't really refuse since I had the cash in my hand ready to give it too him. He was reluctant but seeing the cash he couldn't say no. ;D

On a side note, I'll be there for the event on saturday. Anyone going this weekend?

I was literally thinking the same thing....i even slowed down my DVR one time too see what they were doing. It is like magic...

I was LITERALLY in the same boat as you. Picked this up http://www.basspro.com/Spiderwire-Stealth-Camo-Braid-Line-300-Yards/product/103328/-1550857 Not only is it camo and looks good, but they are offering a free hat AND rebate offers. Best deal around

Goodness Gracious! ...just googled it and that is crazy expensive

You guys where on the boats with them or did you compete? Either way thats freakin awesome.

if you have photoshop its easy....if you dont but have windows 7 do this: Start>type "paint" press enter> open op image in paint> on the ribbon you will see resize. Make sure you do percentages instead of pixel size.

My LOVELY GIRLFRIEND WHO I ADORE AND RESPECT got me a $50 BPS gift-card for Valentines Day ( can you believe she encourages my fishing?!?) and I couldn't think of anything to buy with it then headed over to the BPS clearance and saw this http://www.basspro.com/Quantum-Bill-Dance-Select-Rod-and-Reel-Baitcast-Combos/product/104129/-1543421 I mean, I was trying to think if I needed anything for this season and could only come up with a new rod since i really only have 2. One main Johnny Morris+ Veritas and a crappy spinning rod braided for frog fishing, so i figured it couldn't hurt to get another one. What do you guys think of this? Any experience with these reels? for the price i can only assume the rod is junk but what the heck?

Wild Wild West soundtrack CD with Will Smith. Got it at a drugstore too.

I'de gladly take whomever/fish with whomever from the Eastern Area, We do have some great ponds that hold monster underrated fish that's a fact.

Yup. Im dumb. Never tested the trolling motor when it was down, i thought it was electric, not via cables. Works like a champ.

Sorry, yea there are a few ponds here with sizeable areas near the shore that are uncovered with ice and i assumed it will only grow larger with the impending weather :-X

Android: KnotsGuide Neat little app that shows all kinds of different knots that could be use full when tying fishing line or boat line! What do you use?!

x2. well put Hot Rod

side story: Pine Wood Lodge is a camp ground in MA, and they have a pond where people fish. When I was 12 I went there with a buddy and his father, and there was these kids that were on the aluminum dock pan fishing. then after they were done, they would place them on the dock, and kick them back into the water. i didnt know better but my friends father did. When we were heading back to dock from his jon boat, he cranked the trolling motor, and crashed into the dock and knocked these kids into the water. That lead to a fist fight the next night at the bon fire but that's another story. Moral: handle your fish right or someone might take offense.

What you think? I plan on hitting the water (shore) Friday to see if I can christen the new year

The problem I don't think is with the gears, but the pedal itself does not push back or forward. Like i legit put all my weight on it to get it to move and it didn't. I can only assume its the pedal being stuck?
