  1. Fishing plastics after reading about them here on Bass Resource. Before that I threw crankbaits all of the time, no matter what.
  2. Nice Hawg!!
  3. I usually fish more in the mornings, but this year I would like to do more late afternoon and night fishing.
  4. I usually use Junebug Watermelon Grape / Purple Black Pumpkin
  5. I chose July/August because even though I fish in the winter months, I hate the cold.
  6. Copy the songs to your harddrive first and then burn them to a CD. Sometimes the original CD has software embedded in it that will not let it be copied to a blank CD.
  7. I haven't done anything this year so far with plastics. The only thing that seems to be working right now are jigs and spinnerbaits. I was wondering what everyone else was catching them on?
  8. Last year I started fishing topwaters with frogs and jitterbugs. Now I can't wait until it warms up a little more to start throwing them again.
  9. I just have a couple of large bottles of water with me while I'm fishing. For eats, sometimes I will stop off at White Castle and munch on a bag of belly bombers on the way to the lake.
  10. So far this year its been jigs and spinnerbaits. In years past its been senkos or some type of knock off.

  12. Beautiful fish, thanks for the pic.
  13. Started out Saturday morning with the air temp around 37 degrees. We fished the first pond for about 2-1/2 hours and the only fish caught was on a jig. That LM went about a pound. We hit the second pond for about an hour with a couple of taps but no takers. After lunch we headed for the third pond and things started to get a little better. My Dad caught 2 that went about a pound each on a brush hog, and I got one, that weighed about a pound, on a 1/2 ounce spinner. Around 1 PM we headed down to the last pond. By now the air temp was high 50's, low 60's and there was wind about 20 mph. Things got real good, real fast. We fished there about 1-1/2 hours. I caught 4 LM total on my spinnerbait. One went 2-10 and one went 2-9. My Dad only got one LM, but it went 5-4. After that I headed home for lawn work , and Dad went home and did his taxes .
  14. Back in 2002, I was at work and got a call from my wife that my daughter had been hit in the forehead with a baseball bat while up at the park. I think I drove around 95-100 mph on the highway getting to the hospital. The Dr. said that all of her swelling went out and not in toward her brain. Her forehead was swollen up for about two weeks, but luckily she was all right.
  15. Chrome Pearl Smokey Joe Firetiger
  16. Popsicles.
  17. Well nothings happened yet. So much for my work pc crashing and me being able to run out to the pond....
  18. Tubes, jig, or a plastic worm. It seems like one of these will always produce for me.
  19. I've always been told to use medical tubing and run the hook through it. I never could find any so I started using a big rubber band and cutting it up into sections. Fold over the sections and run the hook through it.
  20. I didn't study. How much of the total grade is this quiz worth?
  21. Chrome w/ blue back Natural craw Smokey Joe
  22. Sounds like the baitmonkey has a new friend.
