Where do you get those blades? Allen

Biggest one I have caught was a 44" one that went right at 17lbs on an oatmeal ball. At the time I was within a couple of ounces of the state record. When I landed the fish I had no idea what it was and had to look in the book they give you with your license. Most of the tigers that I catch anymore have been in the 35-40" range but naturals are all different sizes. Down where the Conococheague creek empties into the Potomac I have caught several small (16-20") naturals on a white fluke fishing for bass. Allen

They seem territorial to me? One or two is the most I have come across and that was below a dam. If anyone wants to know how to hook one just fish the most expensive bass lure you own on some light line and they will show up. Allen

Any straight worm will work? Actually anything you can put on it should work. Allen

Crayfish colored cranks work better for me in the rocky rivers around here. While I have caught fish in the lakes on them a baitfish colored bait has always worked better. Allen

Do you have an actual map of the river? I have caught about 25 Muskies in the river and while you occaisionally catch them at odd places the like a few key areas. If you have a map I can mark in pencil where I have caught them and what time of the year it was. It looks like I need to step up my game and get out there and fish! Nate is posting pics of fish on the same day I am removing topwaters from last September that are still tied on. Allen

Top bait is a Strike King crank that they still make just not in that color. Second bait is a Rapala tail dancer. Bottom bait is a Rebel but I have no idea what it is called as it looks like a trolling bait. Allen

I was doing so well but fell off the wagon again. Why in the hell do I keep buying jerkbaits I ask myself? If I broke off a bait on every cast on both jerkbait rods I would run out of line before jerkbaits. Good news is I haven't bought any this month. Allen

1/32 to 1.5oz depending on bait and cover. Finesse worms get the light weights while creature baits I stick with 1/8 to 1/4oz most of the time. Allen

A smallie beaver style bait has been my #1 pitchin bait for the last two years. I use the RI and discontinued Case sweet peas but bought some Netbait ones to try. Today I am getting tackle ready and in my go-to spares tub I counted 76 packs of these baits. This does not count the ones that are already in the boat bag just the backup spares. As you can see by the quantity I use these baits all the time and they work everywhere. For some reason the smaller baits have caught more and bigger fish so I rarely use the regular size ones. Allen

That reamer kit is worth its weight in gold! If you wait they put them on sale as I bought mine for 50% off during a sale. Now if I can just get better at wrapping the guides? There are 3 or 4 rods in my rod rack that the handles are done but I have not been happy with any of my wraps so they are guideless for now. Allen

Organizing tackle right now but plan on hitting the river next weekend if it isn't freezing out. Allen

Plastics weigh a lot once you start to carry enough of them. I start out the season with minimal tackle but going into the fall it has doubled. Allen

I have 140 bags here in my living room I need to sell just to make some room. So far this year I have sold about $400 worth of tackle and didn't make a dent. Allen

I don't even like messing with those fish anymore as they just destroy lures. Allen

But they don't perform like the MB bait. Allen

I am not sure but I doubt they would all fit in the bed of a truck? Allen

Are you fishing from the bank or a boat? Allen

Eleventeen, did I get it right? Allen

I like the new packaging for the same reason! It will be at least 3-4 years beforeI have to re-stock my Berkley supply. Allen

Dicks in Hagerstown had a bunch of them when I was there two weeks ago. Allen
