  1. Nice to see s sense of humor.
  2. When it comes to buying fishing gear it is pretty simple. I know what lures&colors produce on my lake and the ones that don't. Yet there is one thing that frustrates me every time I just think about it. FISHING RODS. Since I don't have a boat I'm forced to fish off the harsh banks. This only allows me to carry 2-3 rods. Anymore and it just starts to get difficult. The biggest problem is that there are so many choices and different styles to choose from it is enough to make you want to bang your head on your desk. They have specific rods for Crankin', drop shotting, flipping/pitching, froggin', swimbaits, plastics, etc. Feel free to add on to the list if you want... I can't carry 5 different rods on the bank with me, I just can't. Not to mention the price of rods. You can expect yourself paying $150+ for a good quality rod. Buy the rods you need and you have enough for a jon boat. It's really to bad they don't make an "all-in-one" Do any low-budget bank fisherman feel the same way? Or hopefully give me some pointers in what you do?
  3. I put them on a weedless jig head and was doing pretty well last spring with them. I was fishing it like I would a jig. I used only 2 colors and that was Watermelon and the black and blue one.
  4. What camera are you using? I have such a hard time capturing pictures of my fish.
  5. Survivor man. You actually can learn how to survive versus watching a guy do stuff that is not necessary in survival situations that may kill the average person. Also Les is actually surviving where Bear has a camera crew and has been air lifted to sleep in a hotel. I still like bears show because it is entertaining. However I think Les is a better survivalist.
  6. I like the melamine wall thing that you have to hang your plastic baits. I might do something like that in my closet!
  7. ;D Yea people make fun of the name a lot
  8. Those were great ;D I will see what I can add to the list You ask the exterminator not to spray the roaches in your house. You spent as much time poop training your iguana as you did potty training your own child. You have tried eating several insects out of curiosity. You plan your day around your lizard's feeding schedule. You can't go to a party because you have to wait for the UPS man to drop off your new balls. It feels like you sleep in a forest because you have 2,000 crickets in your closet. playing with your snake does not involve naughty sites. You stop for snakes and will even get out of your car to help it across the road. You can't take a walk through the woods with out lifting logs and checking under rocks. You go to a local pet store to buy dog food. Only you are feeding it to your cockroaches. You dissect your lizard's poop to make sure he/she is digesting properly. Christmas can be the worst time of the year because your reptiles are brumating. Snakes of the same species don't look a like. You may even have a nostalgic moment when you see the same snake twice out herping. People stay out of the brush because of snakes. You go into the brush because of snakes. When you go into a grocery store the first place you go to is the produce isle and you start shopping for your herps. You spoiled your herps so much that you have to hand feed them. You make sure you bathe your herps before you bathe yourself. You walk into Petstores and criticize their husbandry and not scared to tell an Employee that the temps are to low. Even when you walk in the store employees say "Oh no... It's him again" You don't understand why you get awkward remarks when people find out you have 5,000 roaches in your closet.
  9. Bear's show is good entertainment. However if the average man tries to do what he does in the wild they are going to find themselves dead before they starve to death. I like Les's show better. No film crew, he does not get air lifted to sleep in hotels, and I can actually attempt some of the stuff he does.
  10. Yo-zuri Rattle n' vibe is my favorite high dollar lipless crank.
  11. The Dark Knight definitely has my vote.
  12. I have done quite well with chatterbaits in the past 2 years. Fished them at sunrise and dusk and they were deadly for me.
  13. Just a thought but, would you have room to install shelving up high. What I am thinking is that you can put shelves from a certain height and then up to the top, but will still allow you some floor space and room to store things on the floor, like tackleboxes....or bins of plastics . Ian That's what I'm doing now
  14. Haha, I'm not as fortunate enough to have garages to keep all of my fishing gear in. I am left with a small little closet. Home Depot has some cheap wire shelving. I just need to think about how I am going to set it up to get the most out of my closet.
  15. Well I decided to turn my closet into a place where I can organize all of my fishing tackle. So I pretty much took everything inside of it such as clothes, shoes, fishing tackle, binders, etc. and sort of threw it all over my room. Now I lack a creative mind. I think I might need some help/ideas, like they say pictures are worth a thousand words
  16. I love netbait! I will have to pick up a few packs of their tubes!
  17. Those are really good!!! I especially like the first and second lure.
  18. I have used it in numerous rivers and ponds and had great days with them. Like others had stated before me you will catch numbers but not necessarily large bass. I had problems though getting distance with it on baitcasting gear. Had to use spinning gear with it.
  19. I use a fishing vest. I have everything I need right right at my sides with out having to dig into a backpack. Also they are a lot easier on your shoulders then a backpack is.
  20. Since walmart no longer sells them guess I won't be able to find anymore in stores then, heh? Ah well.
  21. I have never caught anything abnormal really. I have snagged a dead and decaying largemouth bass before, that was really nasty.
  22. I feel it is really unfair to a lure or company to claim they are junk without backing up your claim with proof. Please back up what you are saying with details. Would you please point out why you think the the Boogie bait is junk? IMO the Rad bait is of poor quality because.....the blades are thin and bend easily, the bait flips over when you try to burn it, the hooks will straighten when using braided line. The finish is mono color and cheaply applied, comes off with any contact with rocks, docks, or even a fish's mouth. The skirts and some of the designs of the Rad chatterbaits do not stay put, and there is no barbs to keep trailers attached. Now look at the Booyah Boogie baits.....the blades are of heavier metal and are interchangable, the bait runs perfect at any speed, the hooks are not only bigger and stronger but are welded to heavy wire braid and flex so a bass cannot throw the bait as easily, The paint job is detailed and tough with big glued on red eyes for extra attraction. The skirts come in more and better colors and are easily changed, plus there is a good barb on the head to hold trailers without needing glue. This is my opinion based on actually using these baits and seeing the difference. Have been fishing well over 40 years and in tournament competion for half of that. So I have some idea what to look for in a quality bait. Just for the record I am NOT sponcered by Booyah baits. Want to know what I don't like about the Boogee bait? I don't like the blade design or how it is attached to the jig. First off I have to reel at a pretty fast speed to get the blade to thump like the way I want it to. This causes the blade to run more shallow then what I might want. With the original I have more control of the depth. I have actually snagged the wire that connects the blade to the jig a few times before using the yo-yo and stop and go retrieve. Now I'm a fan of Booyah don't get me wrong. I have caught fish with the boogee bait, I just am not happy with the few kinks it has. Those 2 kinks effect me more then some pain chipping off.
  23. It can't be a renosky because the skirt is not doubled up with a band. Instead some kind of plastic was melted on it in a way that gives it a more flared up look. I can't find anything on Google that list renegades products to see if it matches up with mine. The diamond shaped object on the first willow blade contains a rattle inside.
  24. I have had this for a few years. I like it and wish to buy a an other one in the same color and size just in case I ever loose it. However I don't remember what its name was or who makes it. Look at the picture to see the spinnerbait. Any ideas? [
