I was thinking about getting one of the Bronzeye frogs this Spring. BFM have you heard of any others haveing the same problems with them. Nice little chunk of change for only 50/50 chance of getting a good one ... As Ever, skillet

:-[i'M SO CONFUSED :-[i bought a pack of Ribbits near the end of last Summer (first time for toads) and used them only a couple of times with Gammi 4/0 Hooks. I rigged it weightless with the hook point comeing out the ?top? (eyes and everything) so it would ride in the groove. The rounded part of the hook is on the bottom (smooth side). Are we talking the same thing or do I maybe need to take up bowling :-[??? As Ever, skillet

The only time all those voices in my head are on the same subject... As Ever, skillet BTW I think most folks refer to it as sanity

I fish ponds and small lakes mostly and this time of year probably jigs, soft plastics and suspending jerk baits. All of them slow ... As Ever, skillet

Caiman? Is that a crocodile? When you catch them do you transplant 'em or do they end up on the supper table or as boots ? As Ever, skillet

Welsh from Father's side and Heinz's 57 on my Momma's side ;D... As Ever, skillet

Or, if you want to wait for some reason that's the price when they have their Spring sale at the stores. Have bought 2 that way and IMHO, for that price can't be beat... As Ever, skillet

Didn't even notice you were from the great state of TN until finished with last post That deserves at least a couple more ... As Ever, skillet

Not real inventive when it comes to that style of fishing :-[, just wanted to say WELCOME to the forums!!! As Ever, skillet

Haven't done it in a while but love Bream fishing. There are 2 lakes pretty close Horse Shoe and Bear Creek in ARK that have Shellcrackers. Fished for them with live bait on light cane poles when younger. Man, I can still remember that smell when they were bedded up and when hooked they would take you around the durned boat. They were so thick across the back that my Momma would have to run slits from top to middle so they would cook right ! If Shellcrackers got any larger this site would be dedicated to them instead of Bass ;D... As Ever, skillet

GREAT news about Chelsea!!! I would imagine at this point 3 months is a good run for her. Sure hopeing it lasts for a long long time... As Ever, skillet

Looked up a certain TV fisherman's name and took a look at the forum on his site. Didn't really care for the way things were handled there. Went looking for something else and found BFR. Must have lurked for a year, thinking it was gonna turn into the same as the afore mentioned site. Never came across anything like that! Finally bit the bullet in Jan. of last year and found out that I had friends that I had never met... As Ever, skillet

I have a Symetre and really like it. Try and get a baitcaster for those "BIG" cats. Save the spinning set-up for those Bass. WELCOME to the forums!!! As Ever, skillet

Watched last night and "I'll be Bahk" for tonight's episode,really liked it . Hope they have some GOOD writers to keep it going!!! As Ever, skillet

They raised ours last year ! Hopefully not again this soon!!! As Ever, skillet BTW Actually, for what that money goes for, we shouldn't gripe ...

:-[Man, if I have a cross to bear, it's how much I like topwater baits! Never seen one I didn't love :-[... As Ever, skillet

Jake, As I've said before, both of my parents loved to fish and we went all the time. My Daddy liked the taste of Bream and my Momma would rather have had Crappie. Always had a freezer full of both. I could hurt myself on either. If cooked right (grease hot enough) Crappie has only the slightest of fish taste. It is really a white, flakey and light tasteing fish. If large enough to fillet and then cut into 2 finger size it is light enough for breakfast food ... As Ever, skillet

WAY TO GO ! Off and running for '08! Thanks for answering all the questions before I even saw the post ;D... As Ever, skillet

IMHO Ribbit on Gammi 4/0 or 5/0 EWG hook... As Ever, skillet

Have never fished the other 2 reels mentioned but can't say enough good things about the Symetre 2500 I own, especially at their price ... As Ever, skillet

When I was a kid, fished for Crappie with my parents using live minnows all the time. GREAT tasting fish! Had to wait till I was grown to catch the 2 largest Crappie ever. Not on the same day but same lake. Caught both while Bass fishing using 1/4 oz. white spinner bait with 6" red curly tail worm trailer. Was a wonder didn't rip bait loose setting the hook thinking it must be Bass. That's quite a mouth full for a Crappie even for a big'un ... As Ever, skillet
