I may have not gotten a 5 pounder like I wanted, but I sure cleared out the dinks .

I will stick with natural colors. I usually use black, blue, pumpkin, and some type of green color.

Rat-l-trap.

I would start off with a tube or a t-rigged plastic worm.

I chose the one I have the most of, Zoom.

Its the one I just hung up and lost. No question about it.

I am going to shoot for a 5 pounder.

Right now its Yo-Zuri, but I have been thinking about getting some Berkley Big-Game and trying it out.

You could always ask them to pay you in merchandise .

I carry about six of them between 3/8 and 1/2 ounce. The colors are white, chart. and black.

Never. With companies constantly trying to cut back and save costs, the rod you buy today may be completely different from the one you buy tomorrow.

I try and match the skirt with the trailer, but the jig bite has been slow lately and I've been thinking about mixing up colors.

I was fishing a t-rigged finesse worm in the weeds last year with light tackle, and when he hit I thought I had a 7 or 8 pound bass on. Turns out it was a muskie about as long as my leg. He came up out of the water like a missle and when I pointed the rod at him and gave him slack, he slung that poor plastic worm a good 50 feet.

I wear regular prescription glasses, but the lenses are treated so that when I get into sunlight the lenses turn dark. The brighter the sun the darker the lenses get.

I've got a rear drag Shimano Sedona. Good reel but I don't care for the rear drag to much.

One time a friend of mine had a fawn come up and start nuzzling his pockets. I guess people had fed it and it was looking for more to eat.

It depends on the weeds. If I'm fishing in mossy slop then I will throw out a 1/2 ounce that will punch through and go straight to the bottom, or a 1/8 ounce that will ride along the top. You don't want to throw mid size in moss, since it could get tangled in the moss on the way down to the bottom. If I'm fishing in something like grassy weeds, I'll throw 1/4 or 3/8 ounce jig.

I wonder if he was using braid or mono???

6" straight plastic worm.

Thinking out loud here, but an young albino LM may not last long in the wild. I'm thinking that it would stand out and be to visible to other predators. BTW, there is an albino catfish in the tank at the St. Charles BPS.

My kids look at me funny when I tell them that the song they are listening too on the radio is a remake of one from the 60's or 70's. They say that its brand new.

Women love JEWERLY.

Funny, mine says "No imagery at this zoom level". Maybe the aliens left.

Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, depending on if the lakes are frozen.
