Golf is the most challenging thing iv ever done in my life. I have been playing for nearly ten years now and honestly......I still suck. Its even more frustrating than bass fishing. A good round can be ruined by ONE bad shot. I hate it......but for some reason I cant stop playing

when you finish these, ill gladly buy a few

I have nothing but great things to say about abu's warranty center. I dropped a revo on a concrete block and scratched the crap out of the brake side cover. Called and explained what happened and was simply looking to buy a replacement side cover. They shipped me one free of charge and the reel was past its warrany

I took my ghost rod back 3 times. Loved the rod. Ballanced good, quite sensitative but running braid with this rod made a horrible noise. I just couldnt stand it. 3 rods and they all made the same noise I would strongly consider the *** black or ther veritas rods

Id really love to pull in a 6lb small mouth from the susquehanna river. Iv come very close in years past jsut havent broken that 6lb mark

Nothing like it is there. Thump Thump, swing for the fences.

Im a huge squarebill fan and honestly for the price you cant beat the KVD cranks

I fished jigs for 2 months straight without throwing a single other bait. IMO the jig is the one bait that can be thrown 365 days a year. I prefer a grass style head for areas with alot of vegitation and an arkie style head 99% of the other times. Stands up well, comes through timber really well and even swims decently around sparse vegitation

Some great looking dogs in here. I do hunt pheasants quite a bit behind some american brittanys (pointers) but its jsut not the same as the music the beagles make. I have one dog, a 15 inch beagle who is otis over blackcreek blood, that hunts pheasants. And actually hunts them well. Last season he put nearly 50 birds in the air. Its cool to watch because you know instantly that he is on a pheasant. Instead of the standard bay style bark he starts to whine and has this short little choppy whine/bark as he runs the track. Once hes on track you better run your a$$ off and get in front of him because hes gonna put a bird up in the next hundred yards

I have 4 of them. For the price they CAN NOT BE BEAT. I wish they would release some gear sets to get different ratios.

They are made at the same place honestly......paging DVT

I have a few hobbies that take up all of my free time. Bass fishing, bow hunting and rabbit hunting with beagles. Its right up there with bass fishing for me. I have 3 hounds right now and run rabbits weekly nearly year round. (great rabbit hunting right behind my house) Just curious if anyone else hunts with beagles

Heres the deal......I will NEVER lie to my wife. What I will do is skirt the truth as long as possible hahaha My wife is a great woman. As long as bills are paid (on time) , savings continue to grow (cant take any money out of savings without an agreement) etc I can spend as much of my personal money as I want. She asks zero questions. Also, my wife and children always come first. I dont care if the bite is the best in history, if my kids need their dad or my wife needs her husband im there no questions asked.

Its broke, pm me for my address and ill dispose of it for you. In all honesty, its probably the brake drum. The revo s is imo the best "budget" reel on the market. I have 4 of them myself. Really wish they made them in different ratios

I have watched this video a thousand times over, still gets me flustered every time. What a dream fish. Nothing compares to fishing smallies, my largest is 5lb 7oz. I couldnt imagine a 9+ fish What a stand up guy it seems too. He was quick to get that fish back in the water unharmed.

I have 4 veritas rods and 2 mojo. Out of the two, I prefer the veritas. The mojo's are nice, but quite heavy and stiff.

As a general, squarebills. If I hit the water and fish squarebills for a few hours I lose a few no matter what. Its par to the course.

I dont eat any fish. That said, I have zero issues with anyone keeping and eating bass within the legal limits. All fish need management. At times, it is good to take a few dinks out of the population

I and a few other locals have been talking more and more about starting a tin boat only tournament club. I have a few questions though. How do we obtain permission from a body of water to hold a tournament? Like for example, we would like to fish the susquehanna river from the sayre pa launch to the sugar creek area of towanda as a border. How the heck do we obtain permission or permit to do this? Is insurance necessary or is a waivers suficient? I do not know the laws pertaining to this and do not want to be held liable for any misfortune. Thanks

I have been cutting and burning firewood for 6 years now. Use a chainsaw 75 days a year and never wear any protection such as chaps or even eyewear. Until my wife harped on me enough I broke down and got a pair of chaps. First day I needed to cut I put the chaps on reluctantly and headed to my tree pile. About 30 min later my sweaty hand slipped off the handle and the saw instantly kicked out and full force and full rph(old homelite, no chain brake) right into my thigh. I walked away with a very mild 1 inch long cut (more like a scratch) and honestly could have lost my leg without them.

Doing the right thing doesnt always mean staying together jsut for the kids. That stressfull environment is not best for them. They need to see their parents happy, even if it means happily seperate. I wish you the best of luck my friend.

Mostly country but I really enjoy folk and bluegrass. Things like tallest man on earth, old crow medicine show, gillian welch etc

I disagree with this Mr. S. You can find fish and catch fish, but you can dial in deeper and catch more fish by adjustments the lure, presentation, heck even line. I would like to point this out directly from an article on bassresource on the patterning of bass. It clearly shows that lure selection and presentation play a part in developing a pattern. Obviously a much bigger part than you give credit for ADJUSTMENT TIMEThe third part of establishing a pattern is making your own adjustments to what you encounter. We've all been frustrated by fish showing themselves, but not seeming to want what we have to offer. That kind of behavior is a pattern too! Over the many years of covering the U.S. Open out on Lake Mead in the Nevada desert, I have heard the story a hundred times of bass jumping over topwater baits, but not taking them--accounts of 10 or 20 such strikes in a day, but only half empty sacks to show for them. You can't let your ego get the best of you. If you cannot solve this fish behavior with some kind of varied approach--before the weigh-in-then you need to find a pattern that you can rely on. As much as we would like to believe otherwise, it is an absolute myth that the bass can always be made to bite. However, what is more likely true is that some bass (somewhere in the lake) can be induced to strike, and those are the ones your patterning search will help you "figure out." By most accounts, lure choice should be your last adjustment, not your first. If you can draw a strike with what you have tied on, then the "secret" of catching them is probably more connected to your presentation. Angles are much more important than anyone gives them credit for. Bass relating to a piece of cover do so for a reason. It best suits them for foraging or it protects them from where they feel most threatened. When feeling aggressive, they may be willing to commit, however, bass often have a preferred angle of attack--for a specific location. This is almost always the case on isolated cover off the banks. But many times that attack angle of the feeding fish would be one funneled into cover, but since bass anglers usually cast toward the shore and retrieve away from that cover, they often miss as many as half of the available presentation options. That could be a factor to address. Of course, the speed of the retrieve or some variation thereof could be the key issue. Just use your base line retrieve speed or presentation method as a starting point, and go from there. Sometimes "too fast" (from our previous experiences) is just right today. But whatever changes you make, do so systematically, so you'll be able to recognize the fish's response--and not have to guess. After speed, lure color or lure size, whether in reaction baits or the soft stuff, can be a factor--and one more quickly addressed by two fishermen working in concert. Once something clicks, narrowing it down goes even faster. Whether it is terrain, angle of the sun, cover, forage availability, depth and speed of your retrieve or any combination of these or other factors that starts to produce fish, then that is the template for catching them in other like areas, with similar conditions. Pursue that course until it fades--for that is the essence of pattern fishing.

I live around NE pa. Fish there 2 to 3x a week. I moved to ny recently but im only 2 miles from the pa border.

Its just figuring out what the fish have keyed in on and replicating that. In your post you say "midday try deeper" and that may work but you can break it down even farther. Say youre fishing a crank in 15 fow and you get your first strike when burning that crank over or past a 4 foot hump. Then you are able to repeat that at the next hump you find. Now you have the beginnings of a pattern. You can then key in on those humps and make minor changes such as retrieve, speed and color to key in even stronger on the pattern
