Ya never know. Generally, I think more active fish are prone to strike "moving" lures, but if you put anything in their face, you have a fair chance of getting bit. I fish jigs and soft plastics during the day, hard baits (including cranks) in low light. 8-)

Germantown, TN is on the eastern side of the Memphis metropolitan area. That's where I live.

Roger, What do you prefer about the Zoom Super Fluke vs. the original Slug-Go?

Sounds like a good setup to me...... +1 8-)

Good night!

Either the Curado CU100DSV or CU200DHSV. http://www.deloscustomtackleshack.com/reels/shimanocurado.html 8-)

Catt, I'm a long time fan of the T-rig, but I wanted to know EXACTLY how you fished the Salty Ring. Thank you again, I visualize it perfectly in my mind and can't wait to fish it around here. 8-)

Gary has some left: www.baits.com : CONGRATULATIONS! ;D ;D ;D 8-)

Perfect! Thank you.

Yeah, right... : You catch WAY too many monsters to do much "stumbling around". GREAT FISH, GREAT PICS! ;D ;D ;D 8-)

Welcome aboard! Although I don't fish braid, if that's what you like why not fish it on your spinning tackle, too? For something just a bit lighter, maybe 20/6. Another suggestion, quite the opposite of your approach, would be stealthier line for finesse presentations on your spinning tackle. I fish all sodt plastics on spinning gear and use Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft #6 (.010" diameter, 11.9 lb test). I think you will catch more fish on lighter, less visible line for this type of fishing. 8-)

Nope. Mostly it's just for fun! If along the way there is also some useful information, educational or instructive posts and threads, then so much the better. I suggest everyone just lighten up a bit and chill. If you don't like a post or thread, move on. There is no obligation to read or respond on this board. BTW, There is PLENTY of room for more serious fishermen, too. Participate in the fun and games if you like, but many of our most respected members take a decidedly different approach. Funny or stern is not the same as good and bad. 8-)

Some buildings at the airport were damaged, but the airport is open and the damage is manageable.

http://www.anglingalabama.com/ Keep trying, Troy is a busy man. I asked him to give us a couple of days before booking anyone else the week of the 23rd. As of Monday, he is available 3/26, 3/27 & 3/28. BTW, As an additional reference, Troy was recommended to me by George Welcome. 8-)

The "defining intersection" in my little suburb is Poplar & Germantown Road. The largest, strongest, most intense cell in the system passed over this spot at 5:56 with 112 mph winds and moving at 75mph. This "spot" is approximately 1.5 miles from my house.

Everything works in the spring. Fish what you like and/or try to develope your skills with a new technique. Obviously, certain lures will be more productive under various conditions, but the bass are generally aggressive and will strike just about anything. As a specific suggestion, in low light fish "moving" lures. Through the middle of the day, finesse presentations (soft plastics & jigs) may be more productive. Although I'm the kinda guy that sticks with a bait that I think should work, in the spring you should probably change up more frequently to find what's really hot. 8-)

My family spent a good part of yesterday evening in my fishing room. We don't have basements in most homes in this part of the country, but we sure need them! Tornado Watches started around 4:00, Warnings around 5:00. At 5:30 the National Weather Service declared a Tornado Emergency, a term that has never been used: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,328745,00.html

Welcome aboard!

A friend of mine and his wife will be vacationing in northern San Diego County, March 21-29. They would like to fish some of the local water, the closest lake is Dixon. If you have a suggestion, post it here or send me a PM, please! -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior 8-)

Wow! There are about 12,198 other members that wish they had a story to tell right now. Most of us are enjoying the middle of winter. Great post, we're all looking forward to the next installment: Steve and Avid's Great Adventure. 8-)

Welcome aboard! I'm going to move this to the Southeast Section. I'm sure some of the guys from your area will have a few tips to share. 8-)

I don't think World Records get the assistance of 50+ mph wind gusts.
