Hahaha. Been there dude. I was smart, i had items shipped to my office. But "smart" me forgot that my credit card bill comes to my house. The one day that my wife took her lunch break at the house is the same day the bill came...

Nice. Its always nice to have circut pros on the boards. Look forawrd to hearing more insight out of him.

Very true. I am missing a chip of gel coat to prove that.

Def agree.

French toast waffles...hmmm.. gonna have to try it. We love breakfast food here. We try to cook eggs or omlets, grits and some frest fruit on the mornings i dont have to leave the house at 4:00am. Its easy and quick and quick to clean up. At my house breakfast can be found on the table anytime of day. We do the whole brinner thing at least once a week, sometimes twice.

Sweet! Great way to end a season

Welcome! We have several members in and around TN.

The only time I fish them with a weighted swimbait hook is if the water has come up several feet and i want to get it down a little bit and tick the top of the grass. A great lure and a very productive one once you get the hang of it.

I have noticed that too. On full moons i always do better if go around 3pmthe and fish till dark or later than i do if i go at first light. I have caught them just before the sun came over the trees and then bite shuts down for a while unless its a bunch of stragglers.

Tony, that was just wrong!! Glenn spends alot of time making sure this is an enjoyable forum for all and you have the nerve to talk to him like that. That is childish.

X2, I restocked on hooks, line, and tungsten but not jigs. Im not hurting for jigs but alot of my go to jigs are really banged up. So, im going to order from SO and maybe try a some new color combos and stock up. After i make an order, im probably gonna do what AJAY and Deaknh did and give alot of old ones to someone on here that may want them.

Not birds but fishing as night time, it was bats ! Everyting you load up to cast they were giving flybys.

Very cool Rip. Tied or banded? Im debating on buying completed jigs from Seibert Outdoors or buying the components like you did and tying my own. Like your color combos

I agree with RW. Ask and see if they can order them. And a solution to online ordering- preloaded visa cards...kinda like buying a gift card that u can use anywhere.

Its already been said, less grease and a properly tuned reel straight from the factory. I love Lews but you have to break them down when you buy them. Its a pain. Id like to see Lews reels with higher max drags like the Revos also.

Wow didnt see AJ's post when i was typing my post!!. Sweetness!! KUDOS TO AJAY. ALWAYS NICE TO SEE SOMONE LOOKING OUT FOR PEOPLE.

Totally agree with J Francho. I wish i would have found Seibert Outdoor jigs, a long time ago. You cant beat the price and craftsmanship. Ive been paying almost 6 bucks per jig For similar craftmanship and componets. Ill still use my old jigs, but i wont go back to them. The mod pack idea is great. The color selection has been done for you. All you have to do is choose a size and a headshape. As a beginner i would start with the brush jig at 1/2 or 3/8. If you plan on skipping the jig under docks or into cover, i like arky heads at 3/8. IMO the mod pack has a good range in colors and styles that are both classic and proven. Jig fishing is my main technique. Take it from me, if wishi somone would have showed me a SO Mod Pack, 10 years ago, it would have saved me alot of heartache and money.

I dont use St.Croix or Quantum, generally becuase im happy with what i use. Having said that, if you are happy with St.Croix, look into the Avids or up. The avids have a HUGE following and are proven. Why look into another company when u already shop from one of the best rod builders in the business?

You are certainly right that when fish are suspended the jig is not the best answer. And the jig is not the only lure on my boat. Like everyone else, ill still use other techniques. But this is where fishing styles come in. I like fishing structure, shallow and deep. Fish will always relate to structure. When theythe seem toto beme suspended, unless they are stacked up thick, im looking for big humps, steep points, riprap points. More than half of my fish this winter were caught on either a 1oz football jig or a 1/2oz arky style jig. Ill give you this tho Nitro, Jerkbait isnt a bad pick. Normally its my most productive winter lure...not so much after early spring... not for me anyways.. i i could only pick one type of lure... its the jig.

Same here. Texas or carolina rigged. I have texas rigged the with 1/8 to 3/4oz weights depending on worm size,depth, and amount of cover/vegetation. Normally ill hop them, ill drag em if hopping doesnt work. Just like a jig or a creature bait, if i hit a stump or a rock or a peice a cover, ill keep it there and shake it or try to slightly hop it in place. Another deep structure technique ill employ is putting a magnum worm on a football head. that is a great technique for riprap and rocks! The key is to be creative. Use worm colors that match local forage i.e. baitfish, craws. I dont use ribbons as much as I used to but i where i use them the most is on carolina rigs and football heads.

The full size brush hog is what i used to catch my personal best on. 8.5lbs. Not my favorite creature bait but the brushhog is darn good one!!

I met marty stone on my home lake (Gaston NC) several years ago. We approached a no wake zone going under a bridge at the same time. I saw the wrapped boat and figured it was some kind of pro. As we got closer together he actually said hey and asked us if we caught anything. we exited the bridge and pulled off and talked for 30a mins or so. He was very down to earth and even told us a pattern that he was on. I thought maybe he was just giving us some b.s. pro talk. ....nope...what he told us was different than what we were doing and was VERY Productive. I mean he was very indepth and told us why he approached it a certain way..couldnt believe a pro would be so nice. Ive been a fan of his every since. Answer to the op, never met any pro at BPS. I guess i dont go at the right times.
