KU_Bassmaster.

I believe you are talking about a 2 man bassboat? I put a platform in mine that was removable when I first got it when I was 15 and I took many swims that summer. So I would have to say no they are not stable enough. I do however stand up inside it.

Welcome

That's crazy. Hope those aren't piranhas. ;D

The one in Kansas City is actually on the Kansas side. Right now I have a Cabela's 20 minutes away, in about another year or so there will be a new BPS 15 minutes away, as well as some other giant sporting goods store (I think ...... Sportsman's ....... huskertko knows for sure). Can you say trouble? I will also be graduating from college with in the next year and hopefully have some $$$$ to spend. The monkey is getting very excited.

There's the right word. AGGREVATING. Yes they are aggrevating, but have just as much of a right to be there as you do.

I'm with LBH here. They have as much a right to be there as you do. You know, they might say the same thing about us. Now there is a difference between curtious jet skiers and a . There are certain weekends of the year you should just not fish though.

I took one of my best friends "Bass" fishing last summer for his first ever bass trip. The only fishing he had ever done was trout fishing with power bait and catfishing with night crawler. I showed him how to use a senko, crankbait, etc. It was a great day to teach a newbie how to bass fish. It seemed like anything you threw at them worked. He caught 16 and I caught 14. I thought he was hooked for sure and I had a new fishing buddy. Nope. Didn't seem to thrill him. Why, I have no idea. He as well as all my other non-fishing friends never let me forget the he out caught me that day. Then I try to explain to them that he was in the front of the boat and that I found the fish. You know, bringing out every excuse in the book. They just don't get it though. O well ;D

Isn't it how much money we have to spend to protect our stuff. Scum Bags!!!

Don't sell yourself short. Get something that you can use too. ;D

Warning: If someone really wants to get in there they can. I'm sure Matt_Fly can attest to that with all the burglaries that are happning down at Lake Fork. Many of those boats had some sort of anti-theft device on them.

Way too much.

;D ;D ;D Yeah, this is a little off topic. Good post though. I'm interested in this as well

It's in the help section but: Type - insert your url here [@img] replace the @ with a / You can also click the icon above that looks like a picture. (1st row, 3rd one to the right)

With crankbaits I just turn my upper body. With plastics, jigs, etc. my rod tip is usually up around 10 o'clock when I detect a bite. I immediately drop the tip of the rod and point it in the direction of my lure and at the same time reel up all the slack line. Then I SET the hook.

1) Pitchn'- any plastic 2) Flippn' - any plastic 3) Crankn'

The more I look at that pic, the more I am puzzled. The body shape of a smallmouth. The coloring of a largemouth. And from what I can tell, the jaw line of a spot. Wish you had a picture of it's tounge. Then you could really tell if it was a spot. If it was classified as a spot, I believe that would have broken your state record. The current is 3 lbs. 10 oz. The coloring is what I am having a hard time with. Usually with spots the lateral line is extremely vivid. You can hardly make it out in the one in the picture, but that jawline says spot. I think I am changing my vote to spot. The new unofficial Virginia state record. ;D

Oh, that's what the bait monkey is. Thanks for the clarification. And by the way, I understand bait-monkeyese very well and didn't even know it ;D. He's always tricking me into buying that stuff I NEED! That's him. You see how tricky he is. He has been with you all along and you didn't even know it. Oh Oh, you just woke him up.

And yes, you should be afraid. He is known for going absolutely nuts when he is out of his cage.

The little voice in your head that tells you to .............. BUY, BUY, BUY, BUY. It convinces you that you NEED all this fishing stuff. Every fisherman has it in them.

That bass has some real potential. Just looks like a healthy largemouth to me.

Oh yeah, and probably .............. well definitely the best thing I did all year was join this forum on Jan. 12. This forum really helped the learning curve.

My year started off with a bang. In the month of March alone I caught more 4+ lbs (what I consider a qaulity bass around here) than I did all of 2004 including 2 new PR's. On March 25th I caught my new PR of 10 lbs. 8 oz. in Texas and then came back to my home state of Kansas, and a week and a half later and caught my new in-state PR of 8 lbs. 3 oz. I continued to catch numbers throughout April, May, and June with a few quality fish mixed in there. Then at the end of July I fianlly bought a digital camera and the 4+ lbers literally almost disappeared. Call it a curse. I only caught 5 more the rest of the year and 3 of them were on one outing. That one outing was a night fishing trip, which I also tried this year for the first time thanks to LBH. Then August came and school started and I was only able to fish about 3 days a month until October when it started getting pretty cold and school stuff was tking away from my fishing time during the weekends. All in all I call it a pretty good year. I learned to become pretty good with a crankbait which I never thought would happen. This fishing season was also the longest it had ever been for me. I caught my first bass of the year on Feb. 21 and my last on November 14. In the past my season was typically from mid-March to early October depending on the weather. I really looking forward to 2006. I think I am going to join a bass club and may start fishing some Pro-Am tournamnets and get to see what tourney fishing is all about. This past year I was really trying to prepare for fishing a tournament trail and become a more versitlie angler that way I could be comfortable fishing whatever style of the boater I get paired up with that day. The spring can't get here soon enough.
