I have a new smart phone that is a lot smarter than the user. The vibrate mode does not seem to work if it is charging? Allen

Any Other "snapback" Spinnerbaits Besides Terminator?
Terminator has a patent on the titanium snap back wire so if that is what you like you are stuck with them. Personally it takes me about 4 seconds to tune a spinnerbait so I like to use other brands. Allen

Hey Buddy Can't You Read,the Sign Says No Blocking The Ramp
I was ready to launch at a small ramp once and had a dummy put his kayak across the boat ramp. I had been waiting on what looked like an older gentleman and his grandson so I did not rush them. As they were pulling off I started to back down and here comes this guy with a kayak and lays it on the ramp? I jumped out of the truck and said I was ready to launch and ask him to move it as he was going to get more stuff from his truck. He replied something like I was beat and would have to wait on him? Well I am respectful of my elders but not dummies so I said I was launching and if his plastic kayak was between my 3000lb boat and the water I would win. I started backing down and he moved that kayak in a hurry! The other issue is the trout fishermen that do not understand that it is a boat ramp and not a fishing pier. This is so bad around here I just avoid places after they are stocked with trout. Allen

Maryland's Who's who!
Went out Saturday with Nate and launched from the shittiest ramp ever on the Lower Potomac. We hit at least a dozen logs floating down the river and I broke off my rear transducer . Fishing was tough but we managed a few including some nice blue cats that like bass lures for some reason? I have a pic or two I just need to figure out how to transfer from this new phone. Ones is of the boat that cut us off hard from PA that must do a lot of combat fishing. Allen

Bream Colored Swim Jigs
Panfish/bluegill/bream, whatever you want to call them differ in color in every body of water. I do what you have done and make a few different colors of each to cover the bases. Allen

Pick me up a case of Governors White from the Williamsburg Winery!! The local liquor store has trouble getting it and it has been a PITA to find any. A

What Size Hook On A Senko?
Depends on what you are trying to achieve with the bait? When t-rigging the bait you want as much of the bait free from the hook as possible so the bait can shimmy. Generally i use a 1/0 or 2/0 hook on 4" baits as o not restrict the movement. Allen

Confidence The #1 Bait
There are a bajillion "what is your favorite/greatest/most bestus" posts on here but I really want to talk about what is important; confidence. It doesn't matter if I can catch fish on a pink buzzbait on every cast if there is not confidence in the bait I have already failed. With all the posts asking about what to use if say use what works for you and concentrate on finding the fish and you will be a better angler. This seems to be a fundamental flaw with a lot o people so I figured i would mention it. I have been on this forum awhile now and generally do not reply to the "favorite" threads for this reason.

Black Plastic Baits?
So black is one of my main colors and I use it as much as watermelon. My Guage is water clarity for selecting colors. How deep in the water can I see the bait when it is dropped over the side of the boat? For 6 to24" I use GP anything more I like watermelon any thing less I go with solid black. Allen

Flukes Are Fun!
Watch the way bait fish run when being chased and try to emulate that action with your fluke. Allen

Carolina Rig Setup
I do not see the need for a 2oz weight? Generally I just use a 1/2 to 3/4oz egg sinker and can fish from 3 to 40' with this setup. Rod length depends on leader length as the longer rods make casting a longer leader easier. Carolina rig fishing is simple just get a few soft plastics that you have confidence in and a 2' mono leader and start dragging away. Allen

Flukes Are Fun!
Not sure where you are fishing but a pearl fluke catches bass everywhere from May to October. Allen

There is a number you can call that gives the water level and temp for the RC Wilson water treatment plant in Williamsport. I will have to check my old phone at home for the number and will post it later today. Allen

Maryland's Who's who!
Yes it was rough but consistant with every other trip at Rocky Gap from last year. I even had the local bass fishing great with me and we struggled. He was sand bagging most of the day then decided in the last hour to school me with a fluke. Allen
