  1. I can’t believe I forgot KISS, Cheap Trick and Rush.
  2. Stones Kansas Heart Tom Petty Steppenwolf Bruce Springsteen Blondie AC/DC Aerosmith Journey
  3. 6 lb straight mono. I do a lot more fishing with a split shot rig then I do with a drop shot.
  4. I use big game mono on my spinning reels, and I won't go over 10 lb. Different lines have different memory and spool up differently.
  5. Thanks Glenn.
  6. I use mono, and it has probably been on the reel for 3 or 4 months. I trash it.
  7. I leave my line on until I'm ready to clean the reels just in case there is a warm day in winter when I can get out. When the cleaning begins the line comes off.
  8. I'll be using a 6'6" mh/f rod if I'm fishing from the bank, and a 7'0" mh/f rod if I'm in the middle of coontail casting out 360 degrees.
  9. Bitsy flip with a Zoom super chunk or a large salty chunk, and a bug with a super chunk jr., or a small salty chunk. I've also used tubes, baby brush hogs, plastic worms, and senko type baits for trailers.
  10. The old record has held since 1958 that is something.
  11. I would check your motor first as @WRB suggested. The only time I've ever had to replace a prop was when it was damaged.
  12. An old BPS 7'0" tourney special rod. It's a mh/f, but it fishes like a m/f.
  13. I haven't seen one yet, but I never open it when I do get one.
  14. How much fishing pressure does this place see? I've had bass act that way in the public park near my house.
  15. As long as you have exposed treble hooks you are going to hang up, it doesn't matter what the bait is. I would be trying to figure out how deep the snags are and the general area where they are located.
  16. Most of the fish I catch on rooster tails will be small, but you can't beat a 1/16 ounce for numbers.
  17. I'm just waiting until it warms up a bit. If they are right about the temps it is looking like sometime next week I will be out on the water.
  18. There are the backlashes you get from casting and the backlashes you get from hitting something behind you when casting. Sometimes they come out and sometimes you cut line.
  19. I used FC a few years ago on my bottom contact rigs. I never noticed any difference than when I had mono spooled on, but I didn't care for it. Now the only rig I don't have mono on is my punch rig.
  20. When I'm in a boat I take 4 to 5 rods, and my bag with 5 3700 boxes and as much stuff as I can squeeze into the sides. When I'm fishing off of the bank it's usually 2 or 3 rods, and a small tackle box with a little bit of everything crammed into it.
  21. Smithwick rogue in clown color. That is about the only jerkbait I can get a bite on.
  22. I had good luck last spring fishing with white with visibility of about 6".
  23. Newest bait I use is the chatterbait, and that has been out for quite a while.
  24. An anchor is one of the things I always carry in the boat, another is a paddle.
  25. 15 lb big game with a palomar knot.
