That’s a good idea. I like adding a chunk of a bright chartreuse stick worm to add a little color flash on a black blue jig & chunk

It's starting to get to the point where open water may be right around the corner after the 60's for a couple days this week

I’m excited this is set up again, winter blues are real

The season was fun as usual. Even more usual I had a couple of tanker events that were hard to recover from.

I love being up in the northwoods

Both are really good points above. The ponds I head to more often than not have pretty small bass. If I have a whole day to dedicate to fishing I’ll take the boat out, but maybe I’ll try to mix up which ponds I frequent

I feel like a 4lb in the burbs is like finding bigfoot, nice work dude!

hopefully not too much longer - cabin fever is taking it's toll lol

That's awesome for the small lakes in the southern part of WI I frequent

I miss warm weather after reading this thread lol

that is absolutely insane lol

A - Drew Cook B - John Crews C - Brandon Cobb D - Bryan Schmitt E - Austin Felix I was going to go with Cox in bucket A, but so many others had him picked I guess I wanted to be different to try to sneak in more points.

I'll go through it usually when I get cabin fever pretty strong towards the end of winter. I say every year I need to reduce the amount of baits (specifically plastics)...yet here we are. touche monkey.

It's fairly difficult for stores to keep a large selection of fishing lures in stock in multiple colors/sizes and still be profitable, so I'm not shocked Dick's is failing to keep up a fishing dept in some areas. Unless location wise they're by some good fisheries, they just won't have the product turnover needed. It sucks for us as the consumer, but I'd imagine it's pretty difficult for a store manager to explain why the space is needed for all the packages of just the worm section - if you think about how much shelf space it takes up just to have a couple sizes in a small handful of colors - compared to other items/sports that may sell year around. Particularly up here where the water is hard for several months. Compared to fly shops, where their inventory is a lot smaller and can keep hundreds of flies in what is practically a dresser drawer.
