If I want you to know what I am doing, I will call you. If you want to know what I am doing, call me and I will tell you.

Now the question is, how long will it stay there? :

Thanks Dan. I will give it a shot. I have used that to insert links in my posts before, never thought to try it there. Guess we'll see what happens.

That's because you have HTML code in your sig. The forum software "burps" on it and spits it out. Your avatar shows up as a blank image. But that's because you don't have an image designated. So it shows nothing....another bug in the system. It should probably default to "no image" instead of trying to find something, and then showing a "blank image" error instead. But I did designate an image. It's the same one I have always had. I got it off here when I first joined and it has been on the list of available avatars since. What is the issue with HTML code? It is my wife's photography site. Before I get yelled at, remember that I am most certainly not a computer guy...

Cool thing is you can do that with the Sure Life products too. Stops the bleeding almost immediately. Trust me, I hardly ever push product and absolutely never just because they sponsor this site. This is one that I have found to honestly do what it says, every time.

I haven't been able to keep the same signature for some time now. I just keep replacing it. Weird.

I can, like when the TVA isn't pulling any water. Probably isn't an issue right below the dam, but midlake I could see it helping.

Found out this handy trick yesterday. Some of you know that I ended up falling in the lake yesterday, soaking my cell phone in the process. I found most of the suggestions for helping to save the phone were to disconnect the batter, dry off the visible water and....put it in rice? Huh? Not having anything to lose, I gave it a shot. I'll be darned if the thing isn't working like new again. I'm glad someone invented the internet. ;D

Yeah, you are. ;D I dont like the wind for the reason of it being a PITA with boat control. I love the wind for fishing big baits and clear water though.

I enjoy sight fishing. It thrills me to no end watching a bass get pizzed off at a swimbait or jig. Seeing a fish's mood change is interesting to me. I'm all about catching fish. If sight fishing is the technique that promises the most or biggest fish of the day, that is what I will be doing.

Then you are doing a disservice to your fish. Check your livewell after the fish have been in there a while. Notice the fish jumping around and being overly active? That is a bad thing called stress. The ideal demeanor of a fish is a calm, relaxed state in your livewell. Sure Life products have a sedative in them to keep the fish from being stressed and decreasing the likelihood of delayed mortality. Just a suggestion...

Bet the lake went down a little when you pulled that one out. In keeping with the current trends of the board, I would guess that to be a 3lb 5oz fish. Very nice.

I work p/t at Gander Mountain and give people prices all the time. Typically, they are looking to sell it back to us but if I know the guy is a decent customer, I will give him a retail price on the gun so that he may sell it privately. If you have a Gander near you, I would take it there and ask for a price. Do you still have the box? If not, the typical grading of the gun would automatically be dropped down to 90% as your starting point. Very nice of you to donate it.

Thuper!!!

You are correct sir. I am in Pennsylvania (obviously not New England) and I hate Charlie Moore. It's worldwide. ;D

You've been on my speedboat before. I dont think I have to worry about them bouncing around too much. ;D Water bottles is how I make the ice and, like you stated, I add sure life to the water before freezing. This cleans up the tap water and as the ice melts, the product is slowly released.

Anything from Sure Life and good old fashioned ice = Yes Rejuvenade = Heck no

I'm sure you have your own special tool to touch your Core.

Sorry we upset your day. That's how it goes here. You don't have to be an English major, but a coherent thought isn't really too much to ask.

sorry for my slang internet grammor and spelling. Anyways I fish for sport and fun I do catch and release and when its in season ill keep MAYBE one if im feeling the munchies for one. I just think that what if someone was throwing a lure like a spinnerbait thinking it can catch panfish or whitebass<--- open all year---- and has no clue of what lures to use and a warden thinks he's bass fishing or fishing out of season fish, arrest him for that reason, how would you try to explain it? All i can make of this is that I will have to lie and be sneakiy and cautious of whoes watching because i know manny of you guys do it too :-X In all whatever happens happens cant do nothing about it, I guess lieing is the way to go yes i understand the laws but some are silly like this one cant control what you catch cant control what you cast out there but apparently some people will let it control there fishing but it wont control my love of catching bass :'( You have alot to learn. Start with your "grammor." Perhaps that will enable you to understand the laws of your area and lead you to compliance. Being "sneakiy" too "manny" times won't get you very far around here. Hilarious. ;D

Holy shite. Big fish.

You truly are a fan. I applaud you. Never give up hope. ;D

Unfortunately for Raul's "man card," the fanny pack was his original choice of apparel. That is not photoshop, just a poor choice. BTW, it will likely hurt his feelings less if you call it a satchel. ;D

A lot of times, if you catch the male first you can forget about catching the female. Try a different angle of approach. Dont sit in deeper water and "corner" the bed. The fish will feel threatened. Like 4bizz said, use the Mattlures gill to pizz 'em off and then something like a white jig. Be patient, it could take a while.

What swimmer were you using??
