Looks like BPS brand.

Matzuo Phantom Minnow. It's not very durable but has some sweet action to it similar to an X-Rap.

This is true. Gotta think twice about using tungsten in waters with toothies.

Hate the price, but since I tried tungsten last year, I cannot switch back to lead or steel. Whether it's worth the price is up to the buyer, but for me it's worth it to pay the extra money instead of getting lead or steel.

Payed 2.98 yesterday...when is upstate NY going to join the -$2.00 fun?

Actually yes! Forecast is calling for temps in the 50s on Christmas so I'm gonna escape for a couple hours for one final outting.

I was referring to yellow perch. I believe in NY they are legal to use as long as it's the same body of water they were caught from and you don't go over the daily limit which I think is 50.

What's wrong with perch as bait? They're a great bait. Easy to catch and usually the perfect size.

What an awesome post-season and ending to the WS. I was rooting so hard for KC, but I have certainly become a MadBum fan. He has really established himself as a true ace, and the Giants have become a silent dynasty.

I went yesterday for 5-6 hours and got only a few Northerns. I've been catching pike to bass 5:1.

The Braves haven't been mathematically eliminated, but I've counted them out. I have to root for someone in October, so I'll probably cheer for Detroit. I'm a fan of Cabrera and V-Mart. But I'm still predicting LAD vs. LAA. Kershaw is simply dominant, and their other starters aren't scrubs either. And with Stanton hurt, I think both MVP and Cy Young awards in the NL go to Kershaw.

I'm going to devote more time into using a dropshot rig, and gonna try my hand at punching next year.

My panfish fishing is done entirely with this rig: 5' Ultra-lite rod 1500 spinning reel 4lb monofilament Small bobber Small long shank hook Small piece of night crawler And I have the batter ready and the oil hot.

At least Oakland is tanking right now, so hopefully KC can get into the wildcard game. I really hope they make the playoffs just to see the fans go insane. It's been so long. Just saw Joe Nathan closed it out for the Tigers though...

Stanton is my favorite hitter to watch. I get to see a lot of him when the Braves play Miami, and it really is something to see. He was trying to play in every game for the Marlins this year, and I think he should have been the MVP if this didn't happen. I was happy to see that he was trying to get back on the field this season even though I doubted it. Like you said, hitters can sometimes not regain their approach when this happens but I really hope that isn't the case with Stanton.

At my home lake, getting skunked is just something you'll have to endure if you want to catch any of the numerous 4 & 5 pounders. Happens more often than I would like, but my patience is usually rewarded with a monster bass or pike.

I made the mistake of trying tungsten, and now I can't go back to lead or steel no matter how bad my wallet wants me too.

Only 24$? Shoot I lost 50$ worth of tungsten alone on one outing.

Topwater is the most fun for me, but far from the most productive. It's a blast seeing a bass (or more lately a northern pike) crush a topwater bait.

I keep a "shopping" list going for whatever lures/baits I need or am running low on. It gets updated daily. A few things that I can never have enough of are Culprit ribbon-tails, Rage Craws and EWG hooks.

I am a Culprit guy. I use worms a lot, and Culprits are my favorite. I use the Fat Max, 7" and 10" ribbon-tails. I fish them T or C rigged, with a 3/0-5/0 EWG hook.

People dont believe me when I tell them I don't drink. Not many 22 year olds who don't but I'm one of them. Didn't have a problem with it, just not for me. I just get sick.

I think you can quit your day job lol

I love C-rigs. I opt for that over a T-rig when I'm fishing deeper weeds or anything off shore. No ugly points I'm aware of.
