man what an awesome collection

where i live i fish mainly shallow water reservoirs. with that being said apparently the trees here like a squarebill

sound like there ready for christmas

i told myself i wouldnt do another boat but i fell in love with this bee and for the price i decided to take it on. the boat is a 87 v154 bumble bee. to start off this boat was used and abused rode hard and put up wet etc... . the transom is SHOT it was mulch down to the bottom of the hull. a majority of the stringers were shot. the floor on the other hand was in good shape the foam was waterlogged.im going to rebuild with coosa board and have ordered today. ill post pics as soon as i can

thanks glad to be here

a buddy has a 7'3'' savvy heavy and it feels like a good rod

i like a simple arkie rattle band jig i normally zip tie the band on them and there good to go

thats how my yard was a couple weeks ago

powerteam lures got me for 150 the other day but imo they have the best but there craw d'oeuvre is one of the best craws out there i love the bull nose jigs to and its hard to beat the conviction craw in wood on here. boca bearings got me for a set of abec7 orange seal bearings for my g7 at 70 bucks so yeah that monkey got me good

i see. i know 2 could fall under the breeder category the smallest beard on the wall is 9'' but it had a little bit of rot.and i agree those 3.5s are rough on both ends i shoot a #4 load myself. ive got a bird on my place that ive been after for 3 years now and have yet to close the distance.

i love to fish shallow structure by flipping and pitching thats how i spend a good 85% percent of my time fishing and i have found that a longer rod gives me more accuracy

i love to flip and fish and my favorite though not my most expensive setup is this one a curado i series 200hg on a dobyns extra heavy with 80lb braid

thanks

#1 has to be from when i was a teenager it was me my brother and my dad out on this day and my brother is the worlds worst to wind up in a tree give him a rod and reel and he could find a tree in the sahara but anyway he was fishing with a texas rigged worm with 5/16 or 3/8 sinker and sure enough he hung a cedar he also has a bad habit of pulling the rod straight back and woosh it hit pap square in the fore head needless and i cant help it it took all i had not to laugh. #2 i was fishing a squarebill around shallow docks i had a good fish swirl up on the bait i set the hook which in turn sent the crankbait towards my face i reacted by blocking my face and wound up with a both hooks buried pat the barbs in my arm. #3 was with my dads boat i had launched him and he normally has the motor running by the times i get there not this time he was cussing the johnson and calling it everything under the sun at which point i told him to hook up the kill switch he has yet to live that one down

yeah im the same way i could talk for hours about my hunts i use a mossberg 535 3.5 and as far as breeders im assuming your asking if they were jakes or not they were not

the only picture i have is of my flipping setup it is a shimano curado i series 200hg on a dobyns ghost series extra heavy with 80lb sufix braid. now here are some of my other combos ill add pics when i can. 1.shimano g7 curado on a skeet reese 7' 2'' med action i use it for jerkbaits and spinnerbaits. 2 shimano curado 200 hg on a shimano 7' med heavy clarus with 17 lb floro i use it for fishing around shallow cover its usually got a jig or creature bait on it. 3. abu 5600 bcx on a 7' med heavy rod with 12 lb floro for deep divers. 4.abu garcia orra 2 sx on a 7' med heavy with 14lb floro. .5 quantum kinetic pt on a 6'9'' med heavy vengeance with 15lb co polymer for casting jigs and worms. 6.a shimano sienna on a 6'6'' clarus with 8 lb floro its my finesse rig. .7 is a h20 express menace on a 6.6 torsion med/heavy with 14lb test its a loan out rig for friends that can use a baitcaster but that i dont trust with my gear.8. same purpose as #7 it is a quantum lonestar on a allstar 6.6 med/heavy with 12lb floro.

id have a swim jig on for swimming around cover or a flipping jig to probe the cover and id probably have a creature bait on as well

keep em separated the off spring its what was playing when my alarm went off

ive never guided professionally but i have helped a few friends to kill a tom

thanks folks it suprised me the way this one to the bait down it was just a real soft strike

thanks i was fishing buckbrush when she just slid across the surface and slurped the bait down i watched her come out of the bush and everything

thanks

congrats flipping and pitching is my favorite way to fish you can get into some hogs fishing the thick stuff

good lookin smallmouth ive only caught a few on kentucky with my best being roughly 2lb

that is awsome i dont have kids of my own but im raising my nephew and i can only hope he will love to fish he loves to be in the boat so thats a start
