There is one Walmart in Starkville, bought some folding MSU chairs for tailgating.

my Walmart is just now opening !!!! Grand opening is Wednesday.

I probably had that catalog. When I started back fishing last year, I guess I was remembering those old prices. I got sticker shock when I starting buying new lures. $4.00 was an expensive crankbait back then.

I got a good supply of cow bells, if I ring one after all my birdies, I will never wear them all out, HAIL STATE !!!!

I golf and it is expensive. I work at a golf course part time so my golfing green fees, cart, driving range is free. The money I make working there go to my fishing expenses.

10# or 12# mono is the way to go. I have using Sunline Natural but I might try Seaguar Senshi. I can use 15# test but has a dia. of .012.

Here in Mississippi, the weather was warm, 50's,60's, the first of the week. Last night we had tornado warnings, and this morning we have SNOW, not much but we do have snow. Probably not going to last very long.

I thinking Shimano built Lew's reels at one time.

Can't put it much better than this !!!!

I also use the Alberto knot. Fairly simple to tie and you will never know that there is a knot.

That S.O.B. could be a collectors item. If I would had this, I wouldn't even need a boat.

Lately its been a Junebug TRD (Ned Rig) followered by a Bandit 100 Tenn Shad crankbait.

This !!! I even have crawfish in my back yard. Parts of it is low and stay at least damp. After a big rain and I can see crawdad holes !!!

Read some reviews on the Gliss sounds good but most did not like the line. It would be great just to use 24# test on my spinning reels and not have to use a leader. I guess for now I will stick with my Power Pro 10# test braid with 7# test Sniper fc.

I caught more fish on a Zoom U Tail worm than all worms combined, color Junebug.

I lost a spinnerbait before the first cast. I was just starting to tie on a spinnerbait when I saw a snake coming toward the boat about ten feet away. In trying to scare the snake away, I somehow manage to dump my spinnerbait overboard. I felt kind of stupid but at least I did't break my rod fighting the snake.

I got the $10 offer in the mail but decided not to get it. Like other have said, too much free info out there to pay money for it.

Only read Bassmaster mag, I got issues from 1978 to 1990+ in my attic. I don't believe it is as good as it was, I guess because of the intenet.

Just about my whole tacklebox is older cranks. I have mostly 70's, 80's Poes, Bagley, Bomber, Bandits, and even have some Strike King Spence Scouts. How many remember the Scouts? All these baits caught fish then, they will still catch fish now. My favorite are the Poe's RC1 and 2, and the 300 series.

For about $100 you can get a pretty good battery from Auto Zone. Use one on my 17 ft. boat.

No close season in Mississippi, fish anytime.

When I bought all new reels this year, I also bought the reel covers and the rod socks. Both are pretty cheap, got both from BPS. Only takes a few seconds to put both on and keeps your rod and reels working good and looking new.

All great advise. Don't overlook buying used. You can get more HP on main motor and TM for the money. If you don't know a lot about boats, you probably know someone who does, take them with you when you are looking. If you can swing a new boat with enough motor, that to me is the way to go but don't rule out used.

First few years that I started fishing, I fished a 12 acre private lake. If you can't catch fish, it's hard to learn how to fish. Wish I could fish it now.
