SuperBowl best/worst commericials
This year the game was The Star, not the commercials. As far as commercials went, I liked the Terminator (Sarah Conner Chronicals) the best. After that, Victoria's Secret. :

Topwater question....deep thoughts at 1am.
#1 Action #2 Profile #3 Sound or vibration (or no sound or vibration!) #4 Color However, on certain days, specific characteristics dominate. That's why sometimes a VERY specific color or accent is critical. On other days it's a Senko vs. Fat Ika; worm vs. craw; lizard vs. tube. 8-)

Spinning vs B/C for Worm & Jig Fishing
I like them both, too! Spinning tackle: Finesse Baitcasting equipment: Power fishing 8-)

Decent spinning reel?
Welcome aboard! You might find a used Shimano Symetre for that price. Many members of the Shimano Possee consider this to be the "Best Value" in the shimano line-up. 8-)

8 Lb CXX P-Line On A Stradic 2500FI???
I fished P-Line 6 & 8 lb CXX for several years and really liked it...until I found Yo-Zuri Hybrid and later, Yo-Zuyri Hybrid Ultra Soft. CXX is no stronger, but is much stiffer and is especially unweildy in cold weather. Memory, coiling and "jumpy" line is particularly annoying on spinning tackle. I would never go back. 8-)

Shimano Stradic 2500FI Impression
Line capacity is not an issue for bass fishing. I think you will find the 2500FI to be an OUTSTANDING reel! 8-)

Confidence Rods and Reels?
The "top brands" achieved their status by building a reputation for quality and reliability over many years, in some cases, decades. Higher quality equipment makes the "fishing" part much easier and more enjoyable. 8-)

What kinda rod should i buy??
Today's "BEST VALUE" is the St. Croix Avid on sale. For an "all-around" rod to use for ALL treble hook lures, I recommend the Avid AC66MF which has a soft tip. You might be able to find this rod for around $100. 8-)

If you could only fish ONE lure the rest of your life....
Thank you guys! I just placed my order. 8-) p.s The worms are fairly inexpensive, but the shipping fee SUCKS! Anyhow, I wanted to try them, so I bought 100 of the camoflauge Catt recommended and 20 packs of the other two colors he suggested for about $42. Thanks again.

what am I doing wrong??
Hmm... Wish I knew. My results below Pickwick Dam were about the same and we fished big shiners exclusively! Never saw a smallmouth. :-[

February 2, 2008 "The Perfect Conditions"
Man, I don't know where the smallmouth have gone. :'( We ended up having three guests, so it turned into a big party. The first drift was a shutout and never got any better. I caught a fair sized largemouth and a couple of big buffalo, but no smallmouth were caught. After three hours we motored up to Diamond Island so our guests could at least catch some fish. We anchored down behind the island and caught 150- 200 white bass, so the rest of the boys had a little fun. Three more drifts to finish the day, a couple of drum and another buffalo... :-[

Who Cares?
I have never missed a Super Bowl or originally, Championship Game. For me, Super Bowl Sunday is the second biggest day of the year, just behind the 4th of July and ahead of Christmas! Yesterday ranks as one of the best Super Bowl games of all-time. Congratulations to Fox Sports, too. Their coverage, personal interviews, special events and "over-all package" was fabulous. Great job fellas! 8-)

NYG!!!! WIN IT wow!!!
GREAT game, CONGRATULATIONS! Giant fans. Kudo's to Eli Manning for an OUTSTANDING post-season performance. To be victorious against what appeared to almost EVERYONE who follows NFL Football, insurmountable odds, is remarkable. Maybe Tampa on the road; but Dallas, Green Bay and New England back-to-back? NO WAY! This New York Giants team executed a remarkable game plan, stepped-up BIG on defense and showed the poise of a World Championship Team on offense. When it counted, Eli & Company out played good teams, perhaps even what could have been, the Greatest Team Of All Time! 8-) p.s. Congrats to Fox Sports, too!

Need some help...
I'm experimenting with original Hybrid #15 on a couple of baitcasters. "Stretch" is not a noticable feature of either line. The difference is memory. In use, the Ultra Soft has virtually no memory. That means that there is some initial coiling from being stored on the reel, but after a few casts the line behaves like braid! 8-)

Huh? : lol... Just kidding you. I'm a broken record... That's ALWAYS my recommendation. 8-)
