Broke bass fisherman

Huge fan of rebel cranks, for the money they make some the best crawldads and insects on the market IMO. Also have become a fan of of the storm swim baits.

Wow. That's horrible any idea why?

Hello and welcome.

Sounds like a great day on the water.

Welcome to the site. Really enjoyed your introduction look forward to more of your fisherman's tales.

Welcome to the site.

Nice fish. Glad you were able to get out hoping I might be able to some time soon

Makes me rethink what emergency gear I keep in the boat. Thanks for sharing.

Nice fish. I'll have to take a look at those

Hello and welcome.

Welcome aboard!

That is a nice fish congrats. Hopefully your luck will continue.

Well we just got done eating. Ended up smoking it for 8 hours. Not as good as I was hoping, i have really high standards but easily as good as the restaurants around here . All in all it was pretty darn good (especially for my second try) Definitely worth the time and effort. Plus tons of leftovers

From another Virginian welcome.

Welcome aboard. Tons of excellent advice here. At least it's helped me tons.

Probably be leftovers if you want come on over.

99 degrees here in va so decided to stay away from the water and slow cook/ smoke a pork shoulder. Wish me luck (only my second time) Any recommendations/ rubs/ recipes anyone want to share. For today's attempt I got a pork shoulder butt. Put my house dry rub on it and let it sit for 12 hours. Put it in the smoker this morning with a mixture of hickory and mesquite chunks. After 3 hours started to spray with apple cider vinegar every hour. We will see how it comes out. Dry rub - 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup smoked paprika 1 tbls each - onion powder, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, chipotle smoked chili powder 1 tsp - cayenne pepper Share if you got a knock out rub or recipe. Will update later

Mine was in late July about 2:00 PM, but I was in Canada at the time so the water was colder than what we typically think about.

Welcome to the forums I am not to far from you over here in christiansburg. The forum is a great one welcome aboard.

Welcome.

Absolutely can not live without my IPhone 4. Wife had a samsung galaxy and she hated it with more fury than I thought was possible. She recently upgraded to the iPhone 4s and is happier than all get out. I would recommend them but it all depends I what you need them for. I use mine for everything hardly open up the laptop except when I am at work.

Welcome... That was awesome thanks for sharing.

From another Va angler, Welcome!

Searched the forums and didn't find anything on how to use a banjo minnow. Any advice or recommendations, or is it just a gimmicky lure
