What do you do in the off-season?
Ponder life's little questions like "How do Keep off the Grass signs get there?" and "Am I really here or somewhere else?". Oh and surf the net for new and unusual ways to bother people.

His life was a living history lesson. Very few of us get to live such a full life. Rest in Peace Mr. Glenn.

What boats can be run on skinny water
I'm fairly certain that its just cosmetic damage. It should just buff right out.

You need a new bow mount motor!
You need to answer a few questions to find out how much thrust you need. Do you fish mostly by yourself or with a partner? Do you carry a ton of gear with you (like me) or are you just gonna bring the bare minimum? Do you expect to fish in rough weather and strong wind? Are you the type of person that expects to fish mostly by running the TM or are you moving from spot to spot with the outboard? Are you going to be fishing rivers?

I think he might mean from now on....and seeing as they have to play the seahawks this weekend I think he is still doesn't stand a chance at being right.

Wire for jig skirts
Its a good way to save some money on buying skirts when the band breaks. Which is usually when you pull the jig out of the pack and try to use it for the first time. I hate that. That's why I started wrapping my jig and spinner bait skirts with wire straight out of the pack.

Wire for jig skirts
I use 20 to 24 gauge wire. The wire is usually coated with plastic so no problems rusting. I get my wire at Walmart in the crafts section.

Best bang for buck spinning reel
Bang for your buck...I would say Shimano Sahara and Sedona. I've had both and they lasted about 10 seasons each for just $50 or $60. You can't beat that.

WHY?
Hey Hootie, there's an app for that. Now go ask your grandkids what an app is.

~The Road to the Super Bowl 2016 & 2017~
I agree. Every pro says the biggest adjustment going from college to the pros is the speed of the game. You add on the years of experience on pro teams compared to only 4 years max for college teams and I have to say any pro team would beat the best college team. Just my opinion.

I really loathe Bad Anglers
Works for me. Some of the best days of fishing happened when I was by myself.

Most Productive Baits ~ A Seasonal Review
Aside from my river baits, the lures I caught the most bass on this year are the same as last year. The first one is a 1/4 oz football head with an Arkie Salty Crawling Grub and the second one is a Terminator T-1 in 3/8 oz. with a pearl shad skirt, Strike King 4.5 size willow leaf blade and a Big Bite Baits 3inch Fat Grub in clear/salt & pepper trailer.
-
Prepping a Jig
Trim the skirt slightly, thin out the weed guard and bend the hook out just a bit if its possible. The real prep happens with the trailer.

How long have you been bass fishing?
Grew up fishing but didn't start targeting bass till I was 16 and could drive myself to the river. So that would be 31 years now and I still don't know why I do it. Maybe cause its not as bad for me as smoking or worse for me than exercising.

Your 2017 Fishing Goals
Go fishing more than I did this year. Get to upstate NY to do some fishing. Go to Maryland or Virginia to fish. Catch a striper or hybrid striper. Get out earlier in the year and fish later in the year.
