Black and blue...yes

This weekend???

Any color will work as long as it's black and blue.

Ya, about those Navionics web maps. Uhh, not too accurate. I know my home lake pretty well and the spots I do know, I know very well. I looked at my lake on their website and it's missing quite a bit; like rock piles that I know are there. They give general depths but don't look at them for any structure off the bank. EDIT: And that's my 300th post tip. fwiw....

4 lbs/ 13oz

Thanks for the reminder sir!

Did they mention the part where he was at a former Classic Champ's house, I can't remember whose it was, but he saw his Classic trophy, grabs it, raises it over his head and starts screaming like he's on stage winning it? I would have loved to see that freaky moment. Oh ya, he wanted it.

Now that's some variety brother!

Same here. Ain't nobody got no time fo that!

Not me. I power em out and get on with my day!

Good for you dude. That's a sow!

I think you have to have a little of both scenarios going on. I agree that you need to fish the current conditions but to suggest wiping out all your waypoints?? Holy schniekies Batman!! About 8 years ago, I started keeping a log of every trip I made...conditions, baits used, catch rates on different baits etc... I can tell ya, it's the best thing I ever did for my fishing. Before I go out now, I look back on the past 8 yrs, find the dates, see what worked and what didn't and i can have a pattern before I even leave the driveway. Do I adjust as I get there if conditions call for it, of course I do, but man o man, to have some past knowledge of what worked under certain conditions is invaluable. Oh, and I catch the bejeesus outta them.

Have you ever heard of a guy named Takahiro Omori?

Kinda goes along with my op...

Literally makes the hair on my arms stand and sends chills down my spine. Most have probably seen it but it will warm you up during this cold spring.

In parallel to the thread about posting pics of ourselves, put up a song that describes you. I'd have to go with this: For me it's not about the reputation, it's about not caring. I've always done my own thing, didn't give in to peer pressure, always did what I wanted and did it my way.

There's gear in that pic?....oh, I guess there is.

I looked into hiring a crop duster and buying a few tons of calcium chloride.....

I'd like to extend my warmest welcome to the original, one and only (thank God), often imitated but never duplicated....Scalabadude!

I use a simple snap on cranks only. Everything else is tied directly.

^^^Now THAT is sexy! Are those out yet?

If it has calories I'd say so. Knock yourself out! wait...

Absolutely! I love the feels finding something old brings. Wicked cool.
