Too cool! 8-)

It didn't work for me.

We will have details this fall, but we will be staying in Kentucky. Tennessee fishing licenses are good for most parts of Kentucky Lake, but not Barkley. Everyone from other states will buy a Kentucky license. 8-)

Sounds great, you got it goin'! BTW, Welcome aboard! 8-)

Very interesting, but the blog failed to mention that there wouldn't be a Texas without some help from the Tennessee Volunteers! 8-)

I was wondering where you've been. Now we have the Pflueger Sheriff in the house! 8-)

Maybe I'm having brain fart, but it seems like they all rattle! The main reason I like the 128 is because the smallmouth (and walley) are very aggressive at night and the bigger lure "makes a statement". I usually start out before dusk with the Rapala and then switch to the Pointer and fish it exclusively. BTW, I like Aurora Black, too. Another color with "flash" is the American Shad. Unfortunately, white bass, gar and skipjack like that flash, too much. I caught my PB freshwater fish on a Pointer 128 in American Shad, but that gar was too big to get into the boat! 8-)

I'm not sure this will fit your situation, but here's my two cents: I don't fish much at night, but when I do it's the gin clear waters of Bull Shoals. This lake is deep and all about structure, not cover. I fish steeply sloped, rocky points surrounded by very deep water. My biggest smallmouth caught on artificial lures was fooled by a Pointer 128. I fish the LC (baby bass) and a Rapala Husky Jerk HJ10 (silver blue/ orange) only. 8-)

That's certainly worth repeating! Have you ever heard of anyone buying a car before taking it for a test drive? Why even consider a '88 boat without a thorough check-up? Not me! 8-)

Great fish, but it's the wrong color!

Too light for deep diving cranks. I would recommend MH or Heavy Power/ Moderate or Slow Action. 8-)

This is a great thread. Thank's Craig! And Brian...Yes! You do need some Micro Munch Tackle jigs! 8-)

Great story, congratulations! 8-)

Yes, I still have family in Raytown and Lee's Summit. We have family on my wife's side in the Kansas City area, too. 8-)

Born in Kansas, raised in Missouri, lived in Colorado for 17 years and settled in the Volunteer State! 8-)

Seems like we're seeing a pattern develope here... 8-)

That seems about right. 8-)

Get a rubber net. They're not expensive and will eliminate the problem. 8-)

My bet is, you'll catch more fish if you go than if you don't!

Way to go! Nice pics, too! 8-)

That's a beauty. Congratulations! 8-)

I wasn't bashing Quantum, I wouldn't put up with a problem with a new reel regardless of the brand. 8-)

You're right! Excellent plan. When "anything works" and something doesn't, I'm done with it, too! BTW, Good luck, I wish I were there. 8-)

I don't know, but if I depended on the weather forcast around here I wouldn't get in much fishing! I suggest: Plan for the worst and hope for the best. Go fishing! 8-)

Return the reel for exchange or refund.
