It's snowing here too.

This thread wouldn't load for me for a while. ?

I read that as "I can recall as a kid my Dad beating a guy with horse shoes." ?

Haha, being from Alabama, where it snows once a century, that looks awesome. I would probably get tired of it eventually though.?

That's still awesome. I kind of want to move to the north woods at some point now.

Did you take that picture?

Swim jig or toad

Thanks! I'll check that out. I appreciate it.

Alright, thank you. Catch some good ones!

That's awesome; congratulations! Since you appear to be an expert, I thought I'd ask you. If you had to build an arm workout with just dumbells and a weight bench, what would look like? I'll have access to a real gym in a couple months, but I'd like to get started before then with what I have at home. Thanks!

I hate deep hooking them as much as you do, but there are a lot of ways to prevent it. First, always carry pliers. Also it's best to avoid senko/yum dinger style lures because they tend to get swallowed easily. Always press the barbs down on your hooks (this works wonders). And always be aware/set the hook quickly.

1. Not really, but it's hard to say for sure. 2. I actually think they probably spook fish more than any line but again, it's hard to say for sure, you could always experiment with it and find out better. 3. I think it's illegal in some places..? Am I right about that? If not, it could work. Good luck!

It did rain really hard for a while before I went. Sounds like that could be it.

I went to my favorite pond that I've fished for years and caught a lot 5+ lb bass out of and there were dozens of huge bass and countless shad just floating around the pond. What should I do and what would cause this?
