I'm still open on Wednesday if anyone has room.

Well, I am kinda hoping Miranda Lambert will call, but otherwise, YES! Thank you.

I am still open Wed, Thurs and Fri morning. NOTE TO GLENN & KERI: If you don't find other arrangements, you will be fishing with Traveler2586 (Eric) on Sunday and Fishing Rhino (Tom) on Monday. I will find someone willing to let me fish "3rd Man" those days.

No, but read the other Pickwick threads in the section...The lake is on FIRE!

Okay.... We have had some fun and I hope everyone has had "The Last Word". Good night Irene. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator

I think that is correct, but I have never actually gone over there because all of my friends say "stay away". We have seen several boats centered on boulders and a few destroying their lower units. You need to do your homework and be VERY CAREFUL below the Wilson Dam.

I think the MBR844C is a better choice , the tip is much firmer. My primary jig rods are this rod and the BCR854. That said, my favorite combination is the MBR842C/ Core 50MG, but that's for "moving baits" in my opinion, not bottom contact. I use mine for small swim baits and swimming jigs.

If the reel is worth fixing, send it to Delaware Valley Tackle. Mike has done some great work for me and many of our members.

Well, shoot! Now what am I goin' to do with all this beer?

Avid AVC70MM is a fine rod, but you might like this even better:http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/93975-pinnacle-optimus-xlt-dhc5-701camcb/page__hl__pinnacle%20review

Excellent response!

GMAN, Don't buy any frogs until after the trip. I have a nice variety of Snag Proof I would like you to try.

Buckbass are building nest in the creeks, specifically Yellow Creek. However, we did not catch a single female.

Read "Fishing Articles" at the top of the page. Take you time, this is valuable information and fun to read! To get you started, here are three threads that should help: "Just Getting Started" Guaranteed To Catch Bass I just cant catch bass Learning to fish on your own

WOW! I'm impressed, Whenever this topic pops up it usually gets ugly, fast. My perspective is from the point of view of a recreational fisherman. For me, fishing is a hobby, nothing more. My choice in gear is simply based on additions to my "collection". Most of it, especially lures, is stuff I never actually use. Some of our members collect cars, some race them. Stamps, coins, antiques, art or a variety of other collectibles and hobbies can be VERY expensive. In the broader field of just "fishing", the equipment used for most blue water is HUGE. Boats to get there and the fuel for a 250 mile round trip is a load So, I don't think our sport is expensive, even at the so called "high end". If all you care about is "catching", the gear is not important. Buy any combo, any line, terminal gear, a bag of 5" Senko knock-offs and some Ika. I guarantee you will catch some bass. I like better tackle as a "collector", High end gear makes the "fishing" more fun for me. I really couldn't care less what YOU use, but I really appreciate our members posting in detail there experience with their gear. My favorite comment of all time was from Bassin Blvd, "The difference between a NRX and a GLX is like comparing a GLX to a 2 X 4". I don't own one yet, but I will!

Fish the Alabama Rig!

The front of Seven mile Island, the gravel bank immediately outsid McFarland, everything that looks interesting to you within a mile from the dam. However, STAY AWAY from the inside of the concrete dividing wall.

Nice fish, congratulations!
