MALTESE FALCON

I just check for tan lines. Falcon

Welcome back! It's good to see you posting again. Falcon

Hey Gary, I've got some St. Clair Smallies calling your name. Falcon

These are the spinnerbaits I use. Terminator T1, they hold their shape forever. Rattle Head Baits, that rattle will catch fish even after you ran a different spinnerbait through the same water. Strike King Premier Plus. Falcon

This seems to be a common problem, however I've never had any break. Rapala supposedly fixed the problem. Contact Rapala, they will replace them. Falcon

1-Bomber Square A 2-Norman Mad N 3- Custom baits made by John Mills (These are THE BOMB) 4-Strike King Series 1 5-Rapala Shallow Shad Raps Falcon P.S. I forgot the Bomber Balsa B.

Good choice roadwarrior. Mine was a smallie magnet this weekend. I even caught a muskie with it. If you're fishing clear water, Pearl Melon is also a good choice. It's been kicking butt here on St. Clair. Falcon

Chocholate for me. I'm a chochoholic. Falcon

Back in the early 90's, before I started teaching for the college, I did some business in the deep south. Sometimes my clients would take me to dinner. My two favorites were a Pig Pickin, and best of all a Crawfish Boil. My wife doesn't understand, she always asks "You're eating bait now?" She's pretty open minded, however I can't get her to try the crawfish. Hey Sam, because of your post, I'm going to take my wife to Fishbones for dinner tonight. They're Cajun food isn't as good as the real thing, but it's a fair substitute. It sounds like you guys had a pretty good weekend. Falcon

Thanks Glenn, that answered a few of my questions. Your timing was perfect, I'm going to be using the Rage Tail Shads this evening. Falcon

I fish them from ice-out to freeze. They do seem a little more productive in Spring and Fall. Falcon

They are different. I prefer Xcalibur Xr50 or Strike King Red Eye Shad lipless crankbaits. Rattlin Rapalas too. Falcon

Crankbait or spinnerbait. Falcon

*** "Hookup" worms are THE BOMB!!! They are a little bulkier and hold up alot better than alot of other worms. They flat-out catch alot of fish. The price is right too. Falcon

WOW!! That was a close call. Glad you're OK. Falcon

Welcome to the best fishing site on the net. It's good to have another Michigan member. What town do you live in? I'm in Chesterfield Twp. Falcon

On my boat I always have 7 baitcasters and 2 spinning. Shimano Quantum St. Croix BPS Falcon

That combo will be fine. As roadwarrior said, you can always upgrade your rod later. If you get a inferior reel, you'll sacrifice casting distance, and most of all, a smooth drag. In my opinion, a good, smooth drag, is most important of all. Falcon

It seems like every year while muskie fishing, I catch a 10" bass on a 12" muskie bait. They're tough little buggers. Falcon

I've been singing that song for the past ten years. I even wrote my congressman. All I got was...."I'll look into it". As Sam said, here in Michigan, we have a boating safety course for kids twelve years old. They must pass this course to operate a boat, or PWC. Falcon

My buddy just picked up his new Camaro last Monday. That car kicks butt. Falcon

Nice looking baits. I personally like the deep diver. The orange and black work very well for me at night. The holo looks fantastic also. Great job!! Falcon

That's why I live on this pond? There is no lake like it, as far as I'm concerned. It's very easy to fall in love with this place. Since 2001, when I started keeping track, I've caught 122 Smallies six pounds or over, not to mention, countless 4-5 pounders. Falcon

Looks great. I bet you'll kill them. Falcon

Eric, That's a sweet stick, however I think somebody put the handle on the wrong side of your reel. Just kidding VERY nice combo. Falcon
