I heard this again on a fishing show today "Fish On"

basspro48, try the XPS. On another fishing web site during a fluorocarbon discussion someone said Toray was the mfg of the XPS fluorocarbon line.

They are not VMC, they are Owner Tournament Trailers made with Owner Stinger Treble hooks.

Ni Res. is closing on Oct 13th along with Hunting Run. Both are operated by Spotsylvania County.

I use them on the back of size 100, 200, 300 Bandit cranks, and Baby One Minus always and occasionally on Traps.

Here is your solution, it is called a boat dolly: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0029941017441a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntt=boat+dolly&Ntk=Products&sort=all&Go.y=10&_D%3AhasJS=+&N=0&_D%3Asort=+&Nty=1&hasJS=true&Go.x=14&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form1&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1

I use the uni-knot of all fluorocarbon connections except one with zero knot failures. I use the Palomar for a dropshot rig and avoid as much line stress as possible when bringing in a fish but still get breakoffs with the 8#. The brand of fluorocarbon I use is XPS in 8#, 10#, 14#, 17# and 20#.

Learn how to PROPERLY tie a knot in fluorocarbon line. Use the proper knot for fluorocarbon line. Stretch has nothing to do with it, they have the same or more stretch as nylon monos. Friction during knot tightning is the killer with fluorocarbon.

I use similar presentations a majority of the time. Using low resistant, low weight presentations, you will experience that sensation. The fish will add the feel to it when they take it. Be a line watcher for strike detection.

You may want to chek out Hunting Run Lake before it closes on Oct. 13th. You need a permit to fish it, available at the lake. Check the Spotsylvania County web site for information.

Something closer to a 4:1 ratio for deep cranks, around 5:1 for medium to shallow cranks, and about 6:1 for lipless cranks.

Most Winter draw downs are done for flood control with the anticipation of heavy spring rains.

I catch the most and the largest with a wacky rigged finesse worm. There is no luck involved, its establishing a pattern and using the presentation that the bass respond to.

Obviously you have never fished with a DD22 for a few hours or you wouldn't be asking that qustion.

mobydick, I have a Honda TRX300. I got it for deer hunting and its the first time I have done extensive trail riding.We rode a total of about 130 miles in a day and 1/2. Most of the ATVs in my group were 4WD. A couple had trail bikes, and one rented a Rhino to carry his young daughter. Some of the towns in the area allow those vehicles on the streets and highways. We rode 1 1/2 miles down the highway to get to the beginning of the trail system from the place we stayed.

I visited the ATV trails in West Virginia for the 1st time this past weedend. It was the Hatfield McCoy Trail system. On the website for the place we were staying, it had pictures of groups and individuals from all over the country. Have any of you been there? In a period of about 10 minutes you could be hot and sweaty, or wet, or muddy, or dusty, or comfortable temps.

Some of the waters I fish do not have a dock at the ramp. I use a rope that is 2 1/2 times longer than the boat. I tie one end to a boat cleat and the other to the trailer winch handle. When I launch, I just back in until the boat is floating and pull up just enough to not pull the boat forward, get out and pull the boat off to the side/dock. I power load when allowed. My tow vehicles (pickups) have covered beds so retrieval is a little more difficult solo without a dock.

My jon boat is 12'. I carry more than those when I use my bassboat. I have 52 rod/reel combos plus some extra reels, so I have an adequate selection for various presentations. Changing lures while fishing takes too much time, if the lure is not in the water, the chances of catching is slim, LOL

Most of this summer including yesterday: Norman Crappie Crankbait Spinnerbait Buzzbait Rat-L-Trap Topwater popper Tx rigged worm Shakey head finesse worm Slider Exposed point wacky rigged finesse worm Lighty weighted weedless wacky rigged finesse worm More heavily weighted weedless wacky rigged finesse worm Sometimes I'll take a few extra rods depending on the body of water and include: Carolina rigged lizzard DD 22 Weedless wacky rigged Trick worm Chatterbait Super Fluke Swimbait Flutter Spoon

Last year I caught the highest number of bass in a year's time than I ever have. My goal was to exceed that. So far this year I am 318 ahead of that number.

The two lines you mentioned are the same, just different color.

I use line diameter more than pound test when selecting lines. If I can get a 20# rated line in the same diameter as most 15#, I choose the 20#. I see some brands that list some of their larger diameter lines as a lower pound rating so they can claim how strong they are.
