Water clarity measured in inches. Sounds like most of the lakes in W. TN . Enjoy yourself in New York... skillet

3 Baitcasters 1 Spinning Wonder how this poll would turn out if we fished another species primarily? skillet

I have used both and I would pick foam if I could. IMHO it's more comfortable and durable. Most importantly it's not slick when wet. I don't perspire, I SWEAT and end up having to try and keep cork dry . It might, but I just can't see how it would cut down on the "feel"... skillet

Maybe I should one day but I've never set drag with a scale. I know it's not set very high. I always use my thumb when I set the hook. Haven't had it happen often (not often enough anyway :'() use my thumb for added drag... skillet

Sounds like a GREAT week-end ... skillet

If you think you are fishing T-rigged baits slow, you could probably slow down some more. If you've ever watched the critters that stay on the bottom of the lake, you can see how slow and deliberate their movements are... skillet

Nice pics and glad you put the week-end to good use ... skillet

Joining Bass Resource and paying close attention to other members ... skillet

Fished from the bank a whole lot more than from a boat. The only thing I shied away from is cranks. I'd go broke trying to replace lost lures ... skillet

DING! DING! DING! WE HAVE A WINNER!!! fishfordollars!!! Thankya' Thankya'verymuch ;D... skillet

Always a GREAT feeling to push that PB up by any amount. Way to go ... skillet

Nice fish! You do know that you don't have to worry about the secret. All members are sworn to the utmost secrecy :-X! I used to fish this 1 lake in a city park at night. I caught a nice fish one night and one set of treble hooks got caught at the bottom of his gills. She was bleeding quite a bit when I got her landed , so I took her home. I woke the wife up somewhere around 2:00 so I would have a witness of how nice the fish was. After that she was pretty tired of any pics, stories or otherwise ;D... skillet

Great pic! I have a lot more confidence in the Jr. than the larger one. I'm looking forward to trying one I got recently (Ghost) ... skillet

My boat (new to me) has a 35 Merc ('84) on it. I was wondering if one would help a small motor. I was kinda under the impression they were for motors with quite a bit more hp... skillet

Way to go my friend! Glad to see your ability with a camera is as good as ever ... skillet

Sounds like a GREAT trip! It's always good to push that PB up some ... skillet

Good Luck Fish Weather has been GREAT around here for a while. Tonight going down to 39 and tomorrow night down to 30 and I'm right at the point of getting my boat out for the first time :'( skillet

"You might be a Redneck if you ever got too drunk to fish" Jeff Foxworthy Haven't imbibed in a number of years now. When I did, never while fishing. Never understood that rational... skillet

There have been a number of threads on this subject. It's easier with spinning gear than baitcasting. One of KVD's videos tries to explain it some. Can't do it myself :-[, from the threads I've read the only trick is practice, practice and more of the same (practice) ... skillet

Thanks, hookset on 3! It was Martens and I didn't catch the clip. Have never had to endure any kind of motion sickness but could sure understand how the camerman lost his cookies ... skillet

I remember a double page pic in a BassMaster issue (forget who it was) where the wind had to be gusting to 30mph and the swells were at least 4ft! "You're a better man than I, Gunga Din." Kipling skillet

Have done some type of cabinetwork for the better part of 35 years. NEVER EVER use particle board if it's gonna be anywhere within a couple of miles of any moisture ... skillet

Don't know what the "going rate" is. Called just lately and (you're not gonna believe this) the guy said there was no way he could give me a price that I would think was reasonable ... skillet

When fishing from the bank, it's a good way to cast parallel to the bank. Jimmy Houston (and spinnerbaits) was the reason i got started using it... skillet

Have been using "cheaters" (Walgreens Walley world) for a number of years. As hard as I am on glasses, I'll keep using them. Just don't like changing sun glasses for glasses and then back again. I'm gonna try what TRYTOFISH mentioned ... skillet
