  1. Academy is good for some stuff and a $25 min for free shipping is a huge plus.
  2. Denny's
  3. Must say....weightless, wacky rigged 5" Senko....watermelon over cream.
  4. Saw two good war movies over the week end. The first was "The Wall" about a sniper team pinned down at the end of the Iraq war. Second was "Mountain II" (AKA Dag II). I believe this was a Turkish film that is sub-titled but very well done about a Turkish Special Forces squad on a rescue mission in Iraq.
  5. Yeah, I've got a couple 5001's. I guess I was thinking more about a low profile type of reel. Thanks.
  6. Does anyone make a reel that has a spool release button rather than a thumbbar? I got in the habit of thumbing the spool when fighting a fish and thumbbars just get me in trouble. Thanks
  7. My home lake is gin clear. I've had good success throwing a spinnerbait that I make. It's a tandem colorado with deep cup hammered copper blades. Black with black/chartruese double tail trailer for largemouth, white and chartruese with white double tail for smallies.
  8. Anybody ever fish one of these? What is the action like? Interesting concept.
  9. Begins on the 7th and runs past the 1st.
  10. $839 on Ebay if you want to go that route.
  11. Live Target
  12. 80 lb bow mount Terrova $799.99.
  13. Looks like Schmidt Animal Beer....and a nice one!
  14. Hawaii....James Michener. Twice.....barely.
  15. I actually found what I needed here, Thanks https://avidbasstackle.com/search?q=glide+bait
  16. Given the ridiculous price of glide baits, I'm looking for some DIY advice. Does anyone have a good source for 2 piece,jointed plastic bodies 7 to 8 inches? Ive seen some at LPO but don't really see any that catch my eye. Also, any tips for painting jointed bodies? Separate or paint as one bait? Thank You!
  17. Welcome! I grew up in Middletown back in the '50's. Caught my first bass out of Green End Pond.
  18. Could you elaborate a little on this?
  19. Look here: https://webapp.navionics.com/?lang=en&ticket=ST-1485489545rrvKVDZCtdxxxRcZXEm#boating@4&key=eutgGrmoiO
  20. If you want to put in the time.....it is possible to make your own HD map of any lake. https://www.bassmaster.com/blog/making-lake-maps
  21. Welcome FatBasser (I can relate). I grew up in Middletown back in the early '50's and caught my first bass out of GreenEnd Pond.

    It's a real PITA fishing a jig and pig.....I'm constantly having to bend down to lip a fish.
  23. I was fishing a lake a few years ago and I lost a 6lb+ LM on my third cast of the day on a spinnerbait. I returned to that point at least 5 times during the day and nada. My second visit the following day produced a 6lb 7oz LM on a Rebel minnow. You can't convince me that that wasn't the same fish. On another occasion, I was pre-fishing for a money tournament on a local lake. I caught a 4lb 4oz SM off a bed. I returned the next weekend and caught her again. The next weekend was the tournament and I went straight to the spot and she was still there and appeared to not have spawned yet. She would not touch anything I put on that bed. That fish would have been big fish for the tournament and put $500 in my pocket.
