I get off work around midnight and when I get home I log onto BR and read all the stuff I missed throughout the day. More of you guys need to get on in the wee hours of the morning. There's always a lull between like 2:30 and 6 am (EST) and I get so bored. I've already read pretty much every article, played around with the fish weight calculator, looked at all the pictures, and clicked through the majority of the links. Did you know this site has 'Bass Boat Battleship'? I know I'm pretty much just rambling but I get so bored...

Sorry but this has been bugging the heck out of me. How do you pronounce 'crappie'? Is it crap-ie or crop-ie?

Only 17 combos left? Are you insane? How can you ever hope to catch bass with only 17 combos? You poor poor soul! Congrats on the new bow!

They do seem to prefer a little flash. That big spinnerbait hook can really tear a nice gash through the top of a pickerel's mouth though. Especially with the way they fight. I always feel bad when I get one in and it's all tore up.

Those look really good!

Sounds like your kids on the right track. I try and make lists like that before I go too. Too bad I can't seem to stick to them once I get there.

I discovered the jitterbug just this past month. Awesome lure. I've had good success early morning (before the sun comes up). Don't fish it through the weeds and lily pads but if you can run it along the edge you should definitely call out some bigguns. That's how I got the fish in my avatar. Open waters good too. If there's a topwater bite, you'll do well with this lure.

Caught a couple nice bass this morning. Both of them hit a Red Eye Shad. I think the color was Green Tomato. I also caught 4 smallish pickerel and a little crappie. The wife got a yellow perch and some kind of sunfish. I went back out this afternoon too and didn't get anything but I actually only got to make 2 casts. Since I had my dog with me and he's usually a spaz, I only brought 1 spinnerbait. Figures this time he was good and listened to me and I end up getting snagged on my second cast. Think I'm gonna put together a small Plano box that I can throw in a back pack for those dog walking days.

Yeah. He's goofy as hell but he always catches a nice fish with some off-the-wall technique.

That's a nice bluegill...congrats on the award!

Haven't read the books but I like the movies. I'm trying to get them all on my DVR cuz I'm too cheap to buy them but they keep re-running the same 2 or 3 on the movie channels.

Really sorry to hear about your friend. My prayers go out to him and his family but there's no way I could afford a boat/truck right now.

That's dumb. I work for Dominos and were not supposed to take 50's or 100's for delivery orders but there's no reason we wouldn't take them in the store. We have one of those markers that shows if the bill is counterfeit or not. Dunno if those things are 100% on point but we've never had a problem.

LOL...that's pretty funny!

That things beastly!

Pickerel should hit just about anything a bass would. I've caught them on... Worms Roostertails Squarebills Lipless Cranks Spinnerbaits ...and I'm sure they would bite a myriad of other lures. I probably catch as many pickerel as I do bass without even trying.

Congrats on some nice fish!

Awesome fish!

Awesome....sounds like a fun trip!

Nice one!

That's pretty cool! I've caught doubles (bluegill) fishing worms on 2 separate hooks on the same line but never 2 fish on the same lure.

Nice one!

Heck of a fish!

Awesome fish!
