Where Is That Plane?
What do you guys think happened? My friend ( aviation major/ almost has his polite license/ 100s of hours on simulators) thinks they took it below 1,500 feet and then landed it somewhere. Talking about the missing milasian flight.

Coffee
I use cream and sugar. Certain times I can drink coffee black. If I know we are getting off the water at noon to eat or something ill drink coffee if not ill skip it. Coffee goes right through me.

Basics?
Go up top and read the fishing articles. Read as much as you can then watch the videos in the video section. After you do that come back with specific questions. I can literally reiterated everything they have said but it is easier for you to read it first.

Disappointed With The Marina On Okeechobee
Skip the boat rental and go out with a guide. My buddies went out with scott martin and loved it. As people have said before, send them a letter.

Ozarks Bait Shops
Looking for quality bait shops around the osage beach area that carry a good selection of baits. Let me know if you know of anything.

Strategy
Depends on how it is down there. We found out that we had an hour in the afternoon where the fish were on fire. With that knowledge we went swinging for the fences because we knew we had a spot to catch 5 keepers. Caught a 3lb smallie and 5.5lb smallie in the morning and the 5.5 ended up being big bass.

Where are all the Illinois Guys ?
Going to the ozarks a week from saturday I can fill you in after then. Clinton is iced up in the cold arm still. Mascoutin to the bridge is open but the back half of the hot arm is blocked off until march 31st. From the shore we are killing them but some of the best locals cant find a keeper on the lake. Its pretty slow and I suggest going down to missouri.

Need Rod Advice
their spinnerbait rod is awesome. Great for spinnerbaits , t rigs and jigs. It can handle deeper crankbaits but I wouldnt use it for smaller crankbaits. YOu could probably find a 7ftmhf glass rod that can work with crankbaits/spinnerbaits and jerkbaaits. I know my 765cb glass can do it.

General Line Recommendations
1.- 15lb fluoro (mono) or 50lb braid (best option is braid) 2- 10 fluoro for jerkbaits, 3. 12lb fluoro 4. 15 fluoro 5. 15lb or 12lb fluoro 6. no idea what you mean by power spinning but lets say 8lb for a spinning rod 10lb for baitcaster

When. . .
True most lakes around me are frozen besides the power plant lakes that sit at a constant 50+ degree in some parts during winter

Inflatable Boat For My First Vessel.
Theyre cool but I could pull a small john boat or pond crawler with a prius. I would much rather be in that than deal with a blow up. Float tubes are cool but if im getting a boat it will be rigid. Also for 2 people I am for sure looking at something rigid. You can find the crawlers on craigslist for $100. Check out this thread http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/25442-any-pelican-bass-raider-owners-out-there/ and good luck.

How To Contact Stay 'n' Charge
Makes sense. If youve got a dual console pop it off and shed weight that way.
-
When. . .
Its is important to note all of the different locations we fish. I am listed as from chi town but I fish central Illinois, missouri, and kentucky for college tournaments more. Darren is fishing down south, papajoe fishes up north by wisconsin,and nice-bass by me. The difference is that the water temp in northern illinois lakes will be a lot colder than down south. With this information in hand nice_bass may be bed fishing still and may and may already be deep cranking.

How To Contact Stay 'n' Charge
Cool concept but it just seems like it would wear out your car battery. I suggest upgrading your charger and getting a paypal refund. If not just wait for the unit. Wont really be able to help out.

Pflueger Supreme Xt Users?
My tournament pro and bb1 pro both have graphite side plates and are great reels. I would love a physicist to come in and explain where a reel flexes. I dont think it matters at all.
