2010 Roadtrip is at Pickwick. Shouldnt be that far of a drive for you. Thread for next year is at the top of every section, come on in...

Nice fish, man!! Chunk is a nice little lake. Only been there once, but caught fish.

What do you mean by the knot won't fit through? It's not big enough to get the two lines throught the eye of the hook. Dont fold the line over to get it through the eye of the hook. Run the tag end through the eye, make your loop on the other side and then run it back through the eye again. It's much easier.

As far as the "I dont need that much drag" point, look at it this way: When people discuss trolling motors, it is recommended that you get the biggest motor you can afford. Reasoning behind this is that you can adjust the power/speed down incrementaly to zero, but you can only go up to the maximum speed or power. I like that same option with a reel's drag in certain situations. I would much rather have the ability to crank a reel's drag waaaaay down. We're all guys here. I am sure you realize it's better to have too much and not need it, than not enough wishing you had more. ;D

I have had my toes for 29 years, I know what they look like. Request "China Night" at the Senior Center. I am sure they will jump all over it. ;D

Showing up at the Roadtrip wont hurt your chances, that's for sure. You never know what's gonna happen there... A really good way to attain "tester" status is to catch some pigs. Do a member search for "Paul." Best example I can think of. His fish catching ability, along with a stellar personality are a great combination. Randall is another one I can think of.

That's no woman.... It's CJ in drag.

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT? Are you freaking serious?

Or even easier (but more costly) take two of the terminator quick skirts and glue them in place. Never thought of that one...

You don't even want to see the debauchery that occurs when I walk into the "restaurant" (I used that term very lightly). I kill so much General Tso's that you would think I am in the military...

Burley, that is the same pistol we got for Lauren. She loves that thing more than me....

Palomar, 24/7.

Here is a way that you might want to try. Doesnt exactly replicate what was on there, but it will give you legs. Take two tubes and cut off the "head" of the baits, leaving about 1/4" or so of the body and the legs. Put this piece over the stubs where the strands used to be and glue it in place. Instant frog legs.

Lodging accomodations are left up to individuals, so I dont believe that would be a problem. The registration covers meals and gift pack. Hope to see you there.

I am not a lure builder, but I know how a fly is made. You see, sometimes a female fly and a male fly meet on the same pile of dog crap. They talk, share some feces and eventually one thing leads to another.... A couple days later, a fly is born. Simple really....

I have never used a Revolution Shad, but I have actually heard some positive things about the swimming abilities of the bait. I believe Randall (member here) prefers the RS to the Spro.

LOL, whatc a fight one time and you will be hooked! MMA is 20 times more exciting than boxing!! I think you might be giving boxing a little too much credit in there... ;D

That info is no help. Are you talking about Basstrix type paddle tail, hollow bodies?

At this point, I am down for whatever. I have seen some reports of bigger bass at Pinchot and I am always looking for new water or water I havent seen in a while. The last time I was there, we had a couple toothy follows on bucktails, so that is a plus... I will let you know.

Anyone been fishing at Pinchot lately? I always seem to forget about this lake. It's only a little over an hour away from me and supposedly kicks out some large (for PA) fish. I would like to make it out there sometime in the next couple weeks, likely an evening trip during the week or a Sunday trip. Let me know if anyone with lake experience would like to go out...

Didnt work for me either Glenn

You want to part with that rainbow at the top of the first pic?

Thanks Raul. I am at work and can't put pics up. Like he said, just stand the box up on its end to store them vertically. You can also run the threaded rod the same way those baits are sitting in the pic. This will allow you to hang quite a few shorter baits in there, and you can store it in place of two 3600 boxes in your normal tackle box.

I made my own type of "Markey's" box. What length of baits you are trying to store determines whether you want to make your box stand vertical or horizontal. The things you will need to do this are: 3700 box w/ no dividers 1/4" threaded rod Two fender washers and lock nuts to match the rod Wire ties Relatively heavy snap swivels Drill and bit Dremel w/ cut off bit Drill holes on either end of the "top" of the container. For the horizontal application, BE SURE TO DRILL THE HOLES ON THE END NEAR THE LATCHES. THE HINGES SHOULD BE ON THE BOTTOM. For the vertical box, I like my hinges on the left. Insert the rod through the holes and cut it off leaving enough thread for the fender washers and lock nuts. Put the washers and nuts on the ends and tighten. Take the wire ties and run them through the top of the swivel. I like to cut the barrel part off and just use the snap as it saves space. Wrap the tie around the threaded rod inside the box and pull snug. I like to leave enough space where I can slide the tie back and forth to allow for larger or smaller baits. Unsnap the swivels and hang your baits vertically. Works for me.
