I haven't had a chance to use them yet, but I plan on using some Zoom Trick worms when I do. I have heard good things about them.

How's the fishing at Melvern at this time of year? Maybe even in to early December if the weather is good enough to get out. My father in law is recovering from hip surgery and finds out next week how long before he can fish. If he can go we are headed to Melvern for some smallie action!!!

Big smallmouth for me!!!

Very nice fish Bronzeback!!! And that 8lber... HOLY COW WHAT A PIG!!!!!!

Thank you Glenn. I really like how they look.

I have been looking at that site for awhile. Just wanting to see if anyone had a picture of an actual jersey. Just to see what they really look like.

Does anyone have an actual picture of one of these jerseys? I am looking to get a few made up for my father in law and myself for next years tournaments. We just fish small tourneys, but it would be nice to have some cool looking jerseys. Plus my work will probably sponsor us, so I would get their logo put on it as well. Thanks for sharing. Kyle

Rapala offers their DT line in the Ike series. They are muted colors. These are the notes per the website: First, it’s their purposefully muted colors. Before these baits came along, Ike used to "bake them in the sun" on his Toyota’s dashboard, even line his windowsills with baits for months to get that lifelike, muted skin tone. Typical crankbait colors, says Ike, sometimes need to be toned down, made more subtle to mirror reality. The subtler colors can be fantastically effective when bass aren’t attacking conventional patterns, too.

Using a weighted swimbait hook to rig your soft plastic baits. It makes it fall horizontally instead of nose down.

Eventually all my rods will be the Veritas rods and all my reels will be the Lews models. I like the idea of picking up each rod and have them all feeling the same. Plus i like the white rod with the black reel. It just looks cool to me.

I switched all my reels to 12# yo zuri hybrid and am very impressed. I don't feel the need to try anything else now that I found this line.

anything from her first album I would consider country. She has some good ones on there, " Tim Mcgraw" "Teardrops on my guitar" come to mind. I am a big fan of both her old stuff and her new stuff. My kids love her too so and go around singing her songs all day long. I hope she continues being a good role model for the younger generations.

Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, "Fried chicken." She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't have been right, because everyone else laughed. My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much. I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again. The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken. She sent me back to the principal's office. He laughed, and told me not to do it again. I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am. Today, my teacher asked me to tell her what famous person I admired most. I told her, "Colonel Sanders." Guess where I am now...

Connie and Stosh are standing on the 18th tee at their Polish Country Club. They are the final twosome in the Polish Country Club Championship and are tied for the lead. The 18th hole is a beautiful par four with a deep valley descending down to a dogleg right. Both Connie and Stosh hit long, straight tee shots which disappear down into the valley. A short time later, the fore caddie appears at the top of the hill and announces that both balls are within a foot of each other, but there's a problem. Both of the golf balls are Titleist #4s. Connie and Stosh look at each other and realize that they had not informed each other as to what kind of ball they were playing, nor its number. They quickly descend into the valley and, sure enough, their twoTitleist golf balls are right next to each at the bottom of the valley in the middle of the fairway. Stosh looks at Connie and says, "We had better get a ruling from a tournament official to straighten this out." "This is the Polish Country Club Championship and we don't want to be disqualified for making a mistake and hitting the wrong ball." "After all, we are tied for the lead." Soon after, a rules official appears and examines the two #4 Titleist golf balls. He then looks up at Connie and Stosh and says, "Which one of you is playing the orange ball."

Looks like a good day Drew!! Congrats to your wife for kicking your butt!!!!

Ya, I am feeling better. I wish I could have stayed until the end. So what was the winner's total?

I use to take ambien and always had good luck on it. You might try that new stuff made by the Nyquil people. It is suppose to be some new sleep medicine.

Here is my biggest of the day. It was a shade over 17" and I am guessing around 3lbs. Caught it on a topwater walking bait. Can anyone guess where I caught it???

Great fish Drew!!!

It was good meeting you guys. Sorry I couldn't stay. I started feeling sick on the lake and had to leave. ONly had 2 worth measuring and they were both 17" caught on a topwater bait. Thanks for putting this together Clayton

I got everything ready to roll.. boat hooked up and charging, truck loaded.. now just need morning to get here. Gonna have an early start at 4 to make it on time. I will be in a black Durango with a black Ranger. See you all there!!!

Thanks Clayton. I will take whatever type of fish that wants to bite!!!

I am good with that.. I would love to stay busy all day. Do you think they would bit a 3" or 5" grub? I have some Kalin grubs that I thought I would try along with the Ned rig.
