Final answer for Toledo Bend.Thought about Chris Lane once again but he cant catch a cold right now. Defoe Combs Evers Palaniuk Zaldain

Left ANOTHER pair of my braid scissors/split ring pliers on the bank again.This is getting expensive.

Sounds like maybe wrong colors for stained waters and you're bank fishing from a boat.Invest in some sonar my friend and make your life a little easier.

4 weeks from now ill be in Tampa!

Do you use spinnerbait specific hooks or open eye siwash hooks? Does it matter?

Sounds like it is pretty specific to wacky and light T-Rigged plastics.I've never seen a lure rating that tight. What is it considered? A Medium Fast? ML F?

You know he looked it up on Urban dictionary before using it.

Hit my local pond the other day.It has a trail that runs all the way around,so I start at one end and switch poles/lures up as I get to a new spot.It water was so low in October I has a ton of room on the bank.The pond is unrecognizable after the winter.Half of my spots are inaccessible due to a flooded trail,trees down on the path.I almost need a kayak to fish it at this point.

Bad etiquette? If it was a stranger id say yes.He's your buddy though.Also since you weren't even getting a bite someone had to catch it. Next time talk between each other about why what you were throwing wasn't working and his lure worked.It will make you both better fishermen at the end of the day.

My wacky tool was 2 bucks at DSG.

Take one pole and a bag of worms or one hardbait with you.That's it.Don't give yourself the option to keep changing lures.I do this when I hit a slump too.

This is my method for bad ones and it almost always gets it out.

I ask because my thumb bar doesn't work right after taking the reel apart,and the reel will not engage unless I flip the switch on and off.A lightbulb just went off in my head.Did your drag happen to work improperly after?

You've had that many problems and you've only used it 4 times huh?The switch is just on and off for flipping/pitching.How exactly did you "disengage" it? Are you saying that you opened the reel and removed it?

Haha I let go of the spool a little to early.Sent it way to high.As soon as the wind got a hold of it I knew immediately what was about to happen.I saw the line fluff and accepted my fate.Certainly not the first time,and positively not the last time.I'm good for one bad one a season. Ill even admit it was with the Tat CT

Believe me if it was salvageable I would have gotten it out.This was a mess

Unfortunately for Chris its been a season long skunking.I feel kind of bad,its been tough to watch.Hes having no luck in the Elites,and hes getting crushed in MLF.

I keep going back and forth on bucket C.I think i have it set.For some reason i have this urge to start Chad Pipkens over Palaniuk too.

They sell it at BPS in Foxboro.I havent pulled the trigger and it doesnt seem to sell either.

Luckily it was Yo-zuri Hybrid.

Hit Lake Pearl in Wrentham,Bush Pond in Norfolk and Greens pond in Franklin with no luck.Im not even seeing forage fish along the bank yet.Absolutely beautifil day though.Good to just get outside for a few hours

Casting into a stiff wind + not enough brakes =I had to cut it out.

Thats pretty rough man.Nothing stuck down here in southeastern MA.Supposed to be 60 this saturday.

Welcome to BR!

I wish i could give this all my likes for the day.Now im hungry.I dont really see them up north for sale.If you do its all frozen at Stop n shop.
