I agree you should put both in the mix.I stop at the lake on the way home from work and beat the banks for an hour or so and on the weekends I break out my little boat and go out for 6 to 10 hrs. . But it's definatley both... Stroz

Way to go!Thats great you should at least take the summer and fish your heart out before starting the career scene. Congratulations !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stroz

Man that would give me a case of (red ***).I usually go alone just because of that reason.But the way I do it is I leave between 5-6 am and have a tiny boat so some time between 10-12 I have my wife drop off my 2 boys and then it goes from one man bassnut to family of bassers.But yeah sounds like you need some new bassmates and I'd say your venting in the right place. When you get the new boat make sure you post some pics.... Stroz

Welcome to the forum. ;D Good luck on this up coming season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stroz

That's one sweet fish can't wait to see the video.Congrats on a new PB and a fun trip.Hopefully you can break that record again this year ;D Good luck and tight lines.... Stroz

Sounds like a memorable trip.I'd love to make a BR road trip and I'll be trying that lizard Tech, when the ice melts great pics glad you all had fun and made it home safe...... Stroz

I had some luck with those last year.You can do the regular topwater and if they don't hit that then buzz it to some cover and let it sink if you don't get a bite I give it a couple lite tugs and let it sink again worked good for me last year.Also I used the black ones with the yellow belly but the chart, belly was my best producer.hope this helps you out. Stroz

Welcome sounds like a sweet ride.Now you can post some pics of your whoppers.Good luck Stroz

Sounds like one hell of a trip can't wait to hear all the stories go catch a sharelunker for us to share in ;D Stroz

Westerns are my favorite genre. Lonesome Dove Tombstone Unforgiven Wild Bunch Dead Mans Walk Open range Like you all said theres just to many to name. I'll be psyched to see that new Brad Pitt flick about Jesse James should be a good big budget western.I also saw one last year that was new called PROPOSITION it was good about the australian west preety bloody I recommend it if you like westerns that is Stroz

That's sweet way to go.You should be proud Keep catchin the big ones theres nothin like fishin with your kids. Stroz

Born in Maine but my parents were from Georgia and west VA. 57% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category. Wouldn't have guess it.........Stroz

One thing to do is if your gonna just hook it thru use a #2 octopus hook you'll get a few lesss snags ;)But the other way it's not perfect but if you hold it a little less then 1/2 way run it up the hook shaft about a 1/4 inch then spin the hook around and sink it back in the worm body and it's weedless wacky.But it still tears up quick I hope I explained that so you could get it.Hope that helps...................

Welcome to the best forum on the net. Good to see another Mainer on the board. Have fun with the new boat you'll love the stability.My wife hated fishing out of a canoe to much rocking of the boat.Good luck to you..... Stroz

It's preety funny I'll post it soon. Ok now you can bring on your horror stories. once again thanks for the support guys.... Stroz

Wow those look sweet long waiting list though but very realistic. Have you ever checked out the T.U. there are so many incredible baits on there in the lure gallery it's sick thanks for the link. Stroz

Well tomorrow morning at 9:00 am I'm getting all 4 wisdom teeth pulled out :'(.I'm a little nervous about it but I know it's not really a big deal.The messed up thing is that they showed me a video of what can happen it reminded me of those old school shop videos or drivers ed vids .My wife says she would'nt have watched it well I guess I'll have some funny posts from the pain killers. ;D Should make for a fun couple days. Stroz

I jusy read this on another site as a tip "To avoid the dreaded "Raccoon" tan from wearing sunglasses out all day on the water, here's the solution. Invest in rim-less sunglasses. With rim-less shades you can wear them all day long in the bright sun without fear of a funny sunglass tan-line. As you can see from my avatar it's not a big problem for me ;D but I saw it and thought of your post. Stroz

Thats great he looks proud of himself and should be I love fishing with my boys. It's priceless...Stroz
