Good guy is different than a good QB. He is a mediocre whine bag who will now handcuff the team because they overpaid him.

I go for the lure normally, unless it is way up in the tree and I can not reach it or pull the branch down enough to get at it.

My picks for this week: A - Dean Rojas B - Greg Hackney C - Brett Hite D - Brandon Palaniuk E - Takahiro Omori

Sub 1lber from what I recall.

BS and MS in Plastics Engineering from Umass Lowell - currently a senior program manager for a tier 2 in the Automotive industry.

Nothing much to add to the "snakes on a boat" discussion other than to say that I do not like snakes with at all.

Like some others have said, I was an avid golfer until I found fishing. Now, I may only get out once or twice a year at most.

Greens and Browns mostly in clear water and black blue in non-clear water. Match my trailers to the jig/skirt color, not much to it really.

I have both (baitcaster and spinning) and think that they are both great products, never had an issue with either reel and find the smoke spinning to be smooth and a pleasure to use.

6 or 8# FC for me

I like the Storm Arashi SB as well as the SK KVD line of SB's.

That's more of a puddle than a lake, but in all seriousness I would start with the structure and points. As it starts to warm a little more find the flats for spawning bass.

Joe over at Granite State Rod and Reel is a great guy. Shop is a bit tight but he has that place packed with stuff, does great work on rods and reels, and always has great stories to tell.

I use mostly 3/8 but 1/2oz is also a great option if you are looking for it to go a little deeper.

Look in shallow flats for spawning bass or in staging type areas just outside of the spawning grounds. Lipless cranks, jigs, flipping creature baits, and jerkbaits would be my choice.

Looks good so far, can't wait to see the final product.

I like the Bass Pro's, has a lot of good information and not always just a commercial for new lures/gear/etc. I like the Scott Martin Challenge, pretty entertaining with a lot of back and forth with this guests. I will watch anything and if it sucks not watch it again, I think that there is some take away even a small one that can be gleaned from any of the shows out there now. Its more about whether or not you can take the commercial aspect of many of the shows now a days.

I will be heading over to Cabela's once it opens to check it out, will be nice not to have to drive 45 mins. to pick up some tackle at BassPro. I work in Acton so I can see this being a quick lunchtime jaunt.

I have a small Pond Prowler with no electronics so I mostly beat the bank, structure, docks, or anything else that I can see which might hold fish.

Got some stuff from Dick's during their buy one get one 50% off; went in with my brother on a bunch of SK cranks, jerk baits, and a couple jigs. Also put another order in for some football head jigs with Siebert Outdoors in both 3/8 and 1/2 oz.

That's a great looking bait!

Have you had any blood work done to make sure that it is not something else causing the joint pain issues? I am by no means an MD but I do know that there are a number of diseases out there that can cause these symptoms. They can do scans and such to confirm the diagnosis if nothing shows in the blood work. Just my $0.02.

Impressive, puts my 162 best game score to shame...

Glad to hear that there is some positive news!

Got my first batch last week, top notch quality and materials.
