yeap Glenn, I skipped to the end and made my post without reading the entire thread! good work!

yes they will call the cops.I do it at least once a week. you are criminal trespassing...........don't believe me? ask the kid I am going to court over on August 5.

its good you asked for permission, and stay out of people's way. As a golf course superintendent I run people off everyday, even have pressed trespassing charges before....

I love fat girls......especially in the month of March.

yeap, lake got hot and oxygen got depleted.....might even turned over and fish got caught in the middle. but don't fret, not all the fish died, I assure you of that.

I was going to say Spots but then realized most of the mods are smallie guys....... and I don't want to get warning points, so I will not be joining this conversation.

He wasn't .....

anyone put it on an Arig yet?

people would be shocked if they knew what was really under the headcovers. classic example was Payne Stewart...........always had the top flite bag, hat, and head covers but a bag full of mizuno clubs. Back then Mizuno didn't pay ANYONE to play their irons, but EVERYONE used them, cause they were and still are (IMO) the best there is.

Actually Jon, I am getting REAL tired of using the phrase "just under 4" lol. hope to change that at Pickwick this weekend with my pops! hope you are doing well......send me some pics of all those hogs you are catching on the jig sometime!!!

when rhino speaks "wacky" you better listen........... I have heard of this legend but must say never seen it first hand (my fault for not doing so at the roadtrip) the man is by all accounts, a walking, talking, breathing wacky rig clinic giver!!!

I think I do!!! I swear I saw a few packs when cleaning out the boat the other day.....when they surface again, they will be headed your way!

deep 3700s, problem solved.

I am glad yall been catching them, cause I haven't caught jack worth anything all summer....... seems like all my good fish (which been rare) are 3.80 or 3.67 and haven't caught one of those in over a month ....... cant break my barrier. but glad to see yall getting some goodun's and keeping it going!

yeppers.........00mod summed it up nicely.

CLICK IT !!!!!

the 6th sense looks nice. I wish xcaliber made deeper cranks, love their paint jobs

you just HAD TO bring up silent vs rattles didnt you???? I always wondered what difference rattles really make. That said I never throw a jig without rattles........ I really dont want to get into the deal where I get one and wish I had the other. I think here, silent is fine. TN Bassin.........only 3 (maybe 4) wish I could just do 2. I can get spun out real easy, if I dont make it real simple and limit choices LOL

yeap, all the colors you listed TN Basin I WANT....but kinda want to limit it to 3 colors as I will not be throwing them that often but just need the basics of the technique. also, am I good to go with 12#flouro or should I go a different #?

ok, so I have decided to enter the fray of deep cranking. I am looking to get some 5xd,6xds, and 10xds. what i am looking for from yall, is colors. What do you look at to throw? I like Chartruse sexy shad and citrus shad for sure(I think), but really have an open mind. lets hear about them colors!!!!

thanks guys! all great info. I hope to get out and put more into practice this weekend.

since we are talking about possible locations...... Long Mike had brought up Bull Shoals on the AR/MO line. The pros sure brag about it when they go, and catch really good weights. I found it an interesting site recomendation. also, Sunday at pickwick, Kerri pointed out the ramp at JP Coleman has a hotel 100 yards from the ramp. Anyone know how big it is? or resturaunt ect ect? really didnt wander arouund much and look. Just throwing it out there.

get rid of that offensive and appauling picture, if you expect anyone, much less a bait company to take you seriously. keep it classy.

that comes from a Costa brochure, not from my head. FWIW, I have green and blue, style AND function baby!!

scrutch I got all those bases covered, LOL I think you are right about missing the spot on the spot. I try to throw right back to where I caught my last one, but we all know how hard that is. I suppose I am being impatient too, as I only have done the "structure" deal for a full 10 days, LOL, but ya gotta start somewhere. and you know, once you see the benefits all you want is to know more and more, and catch more and more!
