SPEEDBEAD.

Take two rods with you. One ultra light to catch yourself a few bluegills, one M/H casting rod to fish the bluegills on. If its bluegills they want, why not give it to them? Go get 'em

Agree.

Keri....OPEN YOUR EYES FOR YOUR PICTURES!!! j/k Best of luck to you. Way to represent the board!! Glenn, whose boat did you end up using and what rig is it?

If you guys have not ordered one of these for yourself, I highly recommend you do so very soon!!! I got mine about a month ago andI have been wearing it while riding my motorcycle to work in the morning. Currently, the temperature is about 55 degrees on my way to work. Not that cold you say? Well, try going 60MPH, no windshield with that temp and it suddenly becomes a very different story. The sweatshirt makes it feel like just a slight breeze!! 8-) The thing I really like about it is the fact that I can still wear it in the afternoon when I get off work. It still feels light enough that I can wear it in 80 degree afternoon temps too. Go to his store and check them out. I guarantee those cooler fall mornings will feel much more pleasant.

Sounds good to me... See Russ, told ya so!!!!

Well, this is an ever changing thing for me, but right now I would say: Casting: Swimbait light jig Spinnerbait Buzzbait Spinning: Wacky Trick Stick TX Trick Stick Split Shot/Slider

I am sure you are very good at riding a bike, but unless you hit 157 on a track or strip somewhere..... Well, lets just say you were needlessly putting people in danger. Least of the concern would be yourself. The reaction time needed to make an evasive maneuver at 157MPH is pretty much super-human, and as far as I know, your name is not Clark Kent.

While I am certainly not Bobby, I can recall having this exact conversation with you not too long ago. While the barometer being low will help with the topwater bite, I have caught fish on the buzzbait when there was no bubble trail, on blue bird days, etc. Let the fish tell you what they want.

I have used the Rip Shad, which is basically the same bait with a greater angle on the lip. Not terrible, but there are better wake bait options out there.

Anything you can do to learn the business side of fishing should be beneficial. -As is the "cookie cutter" response in this section, read through the entire resume area for tips and pointers of how to get noticed. -Keep an eye on Senko77 (Ryan). He is about as good of an example that you will EVER come across. -Fish, fish, fish and then fish some more. -Ask yourself, "What do I have to offer?" and "How will I help company X, Y or Z sell more products" -Keep paying attention in grammar classes Many more things are out there for you to learn, good luck!!!

Keepin them in salt ? LOL, thats what SNOW looks like Raul

JHAWK, I agree about some of the Florida drivers (anywhere, honestly). I had a friend get mangled up pretty bad in Daytona a couple years ago. When he got out of the hosptial down there, we brought him back in a motorhome....body cast and all.

I have had poison ivy/oak bad enough two times that it required a trip to the doctor and then dermatologist. Both times, I got a steroid packet. The other thing they recommended was the technu if you think you have been exposed to it. Now, it sits beside all my hunting stuff as well as a bottle in the bathroom at home. Best stuff out there IMO. Smells a little funny and looks like you are washing yourself with skim milk, but it definitely works.

Glad to hear everything went well, hope she has a speedy recovery!!!

...and the biggest one was caught on a crappie jig. I love it!!! I'm with you Catt, those are definitely big fish baits.

Learned how to ride a bike on a Suzuki Katana (600) and now I ride a Harley Low Rider. At 6'6", you are going to be cramped on just about any bike out there without some modifications. I believe the cramped feeling will be further enhanced on a crotch rocket. If you are dead set on getting a ricer, look into getting a used or new Hayabusa. That is about the biggest rocket you are going to find. Those bikes are a bit overkill in the engine department, but the ride is definitely more comfortable than a lot of bikes (other than cruisers, of course). Save up and buy a Harley. Hell, you live in CA....You could ride it just about every day and save yourself some serious gas money too.

Wishing the best for both of you. Speedy recovery Gidget!!!

He gon' use a torch, some hockey pucks and duct tape. Yee haw y'all!!! ;D

LOL, ok, I am good with that.... Still think the top two could be switched though... :

Just spoke to Russ, and he said that they picked you!! I think they are still looking for good things to say, should be done by the 28th or so ;D Kidding of course 8-) LOL, I would hope you were kidding.... Senile, no ill feelings whatsoever. I can definitely see your point and as you said, I was just stating an opinion. Its cool on this end

Sooooo..... Did they pick one for September yet or not? Personally, I look forward to it just to gain a little more "in-depth" knowledge of a faceless (for the most part) person on the internet. You have every right to not like it, just like I can look forward to it. Different strokes for different folks.

I thought that was August.... :-? Not sure.

Was there an "Elite" member for September? :-?

Doubt it. I know who his spelling teacher was...

Zellamander and Tokyo.....Those are some fine looking animals you have there.
