OH MY!!!!!! thats awesome!

sorry to hear that steezy , prayers and thoughts for ya man.

I hear ya Bighead, I am pumped and ready to go!!!! I might be most excited about just being around people that fish, LOL. 95% of the time I fish alone so I almost feel sorry for the guys fishing with me cause I will talk your ear off. HA HA I still got some things to do......update the humminbirds, get grocercies for the week, tie new knots, nick knacks. Drill a hole to run my charger wire out of. ARE WE THERE YET???

I know I said I wouldnt look until next weds..........but the weather is looking better and better, will be dealing with about a 10 degree front on thurs... but looks to be very little rain chances.

drum major? What? http://youtu.be/kamf6qBiCOw

I am liking the sound of that Jeff! 6 fish in 40 minutes is a full day for me, LOL.

bring the chicken just in case ............. I live 2 hours west of pickwick and its dicey IMO.... I will say the weatherman aint been right yet this spring over here. Also it is 1 weekout, even though it is a 60% thurs and Friday I have seen it completely taken off the forecast more times than I actually seen it rain as predicted 7-8 days out. It might be different this time because it does look to be associated with a small front. but without fail, it is the first weekend in may and it always rains, LOL...I am not worried about it until Wednesday night next week.

Paul........your sarcasm is OUTSTANDING! but your photoshop might need some work, lol

I with ya Procraft.......I cant even catch golf course fish this spring, and my golf course fish are all but pet fish. I fished with 00mod a few weekends ago and caught 4, knowing the spring I have had thus far I felt like Bill Dance after those fish... I got black bass fever and the only cure is ROADTRIP. lol

LOL....you can tell we are fisherman.....I said in my experience people who fish Pickwick call 2# small, then someone said yeah 2.5# fish are awesome, then the next guy said 2-3# fish are fun!!! LOL it keeps growing! Which is fine, cause maybe by the time we get there is will be sacks of 5#ers!! HA HA HA I have just noticed from other boards and various internet postings that 5#+/- are called quality fish at pickwick and below that are called "small" or "nothing big", JMO But really they might have caught 1# dinks all day, I dont know. I DO KNOW this trip is going to be a hellva time!

sounds good! especially since that was the day after a MASSIVE front that came through. I talked to a guy at bass pro and they were there sunday the 14th and caught 50ish on trigs and jerkbaits, nothing big but plenty of fish.......I wonder what nothing big is, as I forgot to ask. Most times people that fish pickwick (in my experiance) call 2# small. I on the other hand would take a 50fish day of 2#ers ALL DAY everyday.

any of the highwaymen.......plus some Conway or George Jones

EY OH!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No lower gear is more torque. think of it like this....... 5.1 is lik e 1st gear in your car, its slow but you can pull heavier things like a big lip on acrankbait...... 6.4 is like 3rd gear you can go faster but not pull as hard which is why we throw spinnerbaits traps and all around ........ 7.1 is like overdrive, real fast but don't have to pull any pressure like hopping a worm or jig or working topwater. Hope this makes sense

7.1+ for topwater and bottom contact baits frogs use the fastest you can find 6.4 for most moving baits 5.4 for deeper cranks than 10-12 foot IPT is more crucial though and it varies by brand most 7.1 are 31+IPT most 6.4 are 25-28 IPT most 5.4 are 21-24 IPT this is a broad general blanket statement but is plenty of meat for you to chew and make decisions with.

thanks for the tip!!!

sure hope you are right, I need 9mm and I been having issues finding it at a reasonable price......plus maybe I can buy that new glock now if prices get stable

way to go kid!!! this thread got weird......yeah it came from a weird spot, then maybe others made it weirder. Who cares, the kid loves to fish. At least he aint shooting up behind the bowling alley. Its somewhat amazing(not to sound harsh) that a group of middle aged men cant support a kid doing what we all love, it seems to be some "hatin" going on.........I wish could have lived the "pipe dream" at 14, hell why not? Reality is going to set in soon enough and the big bad world will crash down....let the kid learn that lesson in time, he's a young man, and young men learn a lot of things about the world at and around his age, so IMO there is no reason to rush it. He seems like a good egg with good parents and stable life.......enjoy it, have the zest to do what you love and love what you do. I think it is awesome his mom takes part in his life enough to check his internet usage, WAY TO GO MOM! now lets go catch some haaaawgs.

am I the only one that has bigger worries than how others hold their fish. Maybe we should call our local/state game and fish commission and DEMAND standardized fish picture holding laws..... because clearly this is an epidemic that needs to be solved.

Fishing Daddy I think I got 1 jerkbait and its still in the package................with the Arig, jerkbait, and moving baits sounding good, I am hoping for a decent swim jig bite.

ok, ok , I picked up 2 jr flash mobs this morning. dobnys DX784 lews TP 7.1 20# tatsu 1/8 j williams jig heads 2 rage grubs 2 2.5 inch money minnows 1 3.5 inch money minnows (wanted to experiment on baits) I threw it for about a hour and half here at the golf course and it wasnt to bad. I got some spindarells too but I would need a swimbait rod for those. The JRmob did ok, I wouldnt want to throw it for 8 hours, well unless I was catching fish I wouldnt. It would seem if a guy had a rod made for this type rig it really wouldnt be bad at all.

spinnerbaits is what I have caught mine on.........I once caught a 11 1/5 pound grinnel, err bowfin. we call them grinnel here in the south. Their diet is made up mostly of small fish so any lure in that vein should work.

blue craw is my favorite rage tail craw color

and if you aint losing jigs you aint fishing jigs....

3700s is how I got mine
