i was thinking of getting some of Doug Hannon's snakes. anyone ever used these? are they worth the money? and is there anyway of ordering some snakes without getting all the other stuff with it? i want to make sure these things are really good before i spend $40. thanks a lot

watermelon w/black flake pumpkinseed w/black & green flake green pumpkin w/blake flake and a neutral color like a rootbeer

i don't see the point in buying a lure that costs $15 when you know you'll lose it sometime or another. i'd think it would make you scared to through your baits in spots were you could get hung-up. i'd stick with shad-raps and normans 8-)

plastic= sniper lures snub or bolt hook= owner down shot offset hook weight= i like to use a thin cylinder shaped weight. 1/4oz at heaviest for 30'+.

he just said what he used for bait..... nice fish 8-)

gotta love ultra lights 8-)

1.) 1/8oz jig head w/grubs 2.) drop shot 3.) senko 4.) 3" tube 5.) jointed shadrap

the lake has 15" of ice. i had to drive 2 hours to get to the lake, it is an alpine lake (sorta) on the east side of the cascade mountains WA. we don't get safe ice on the west side.

what lake is that???

cool sunset in the fog....

the lone fisherman....

the catch....

finally got out and go fishing again. the fishing wasn't great but i got the skunk off for 2007 perch were hitting pretty good for a little while when we first got there, but it slowed down quick. sounds like almost everyone else didn't catch many at all. after they stoped hitting, i switched to a slip bobber and wrom for trout. put it down about 10' and i was in fish. got 5 to the ice and crackered one in the hole so we ended up keeping 8 perch and 3 trout. perch were all about 9" (FAT!) and the trout were 12",13",and 14" (the ones i released were over 12" also 8-)).

5lbs 13oz. drop shoted robo worm.

rip rap and dam walls are great. rocky islands can be good too. points are great for smallies, mainly if the bottom is humpy.

try drop shoting the deep drop offs, if they have rocks.

i never use a jig without something on the hook. i use crappie nibbles a lot, but if you can find them, use maggots.

there is a simple answer to this question..... YES!!!

Pflueger Supreme or trion with a BPS Extreme XPS rod 7' medium. i like to use McCoy mean green 8lb.

jointed shad-raps, and deep divers like bay hot lips.

either watermelon or a brownish color (brown mainly for grubs)

gotta love gills and slabs on the ultra light!

early in the morning or late in the evening. they come up to the surface more during these times to feed on bugs and such.
