Any Super Spook Fans?
I have a Zara Spook, and to be honest, I've never learned to use it. I have a bunch of odd baits and lures that I purchased and either didn't like or didn't learn how to work. I'm going to throw some of this stuff this year in some tough situations and if I loose it....oh well.

Springfield XD 40- any experience?
Better balance when loaded. The slide and barrel seem to be a little top heavy because of the polymer frame. The cartridges balance it nicely. IMHO.

Thermostat What's yours set at?
I put in a woodburner when I built. Windows are open year round upstairs to get rid of excess heat. Coldest room on main floor gets about 67. Nice room to go into to escape the heat. Rest of main floor stays a toasty 70. I usually only burn it for extended periods when it is consistently cold, below 20. Otherwise house gets too warm. Thermostat stays on 68 any other time. Nice thing about it, wood is free!

Your Price of gasoline / gallon
$3.199 Went to that price the same day the Texas refinery explosion happened. Didn't take 'em long,the pirates.

Springfield XD 40- any experience?
I have an XD in 9mm. Not the sub compact, but still very nice and a comfortable weight. Fits my hand well and shoots very well.

Best Baseball Movie
I didn't see it mentioned here, but I've always liked "Eight Men Out". I have several copies plus the book.

Your Dad's tackle box
When did you peek into my old tacklebox??? ;D You described it to a tee except it had 2 drawers. Still had it when I got reintroduced to fishing. I have since upgraded, just a bit. :

Lets see your tackle collection
You're kidding right?

coffee tube
I'm sort of curious to know how and why a bass might be attracted to something like a coffee flavor. That's not something normally found in their environment. I don't know what's in most bass attractants but I would guess its something that mimics odors and tastes in the foods they normally consume. Wouldn't an unnatural taste or scent cause them to reject the bait? I've always read to watch such things as gas on your hands.

Rage Tail Toad by Strike King?
OK now I get it. I could see where that would make a lot of top water commotion. Thanks!

M$ warns on Vista update
Whadya mean maybe? OSX FTW! Huh? Sorry, what do you mean?

Rage Tail Toad by Strike King?
I watched one of the fishing shows yesterday (basically just a 30 minute infomercial for Strike King) and they were buzzing the RageTail Shad. I was having trouoble understanding how to rig it. Looked on Strike Kings web site but they weren't much clearer. No pictures, I need pictures.

coffee tube
I saw them in the Basspro catalogue. Haven't used them but why not just take a little coffee along and pour some in the tube before you insert the jig. Might be worth a try, especially for those early morning bass that have trouble waking up. ;D

Riot ;D ;D ;D

M$ warns on Vista update
Well, I need a new computer, but I'm not buying one as long as Vista is the operating system. Maybe I'll go Mac.

Idiots and dogs
Solution: Put the dogs in the house, chain the people outdoors.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE MUSKY LURE?
What color in the super shad raps do you find most effective. I picked up a firetiger for 6 bucks not long ago.

Cutting braid
Yep, the serrated part.

How to give a cat a pill
Sadly, most of that is true until you get the hang of it, then it's easy. Voice of experience here. Cutting claws isn't a whole lot better. I got so I'm real fast, kinda like a civil war surgeon that did amputations with no anesthetic. ;D

Awesome shot
Windage and elevation ;D ;D ;D

Iced Out Storm
Your weather in RI must be a result of global warming 'cause it isn't anything remotely resembling spring in western PA. 7 degree mornings do not contribute towards ice out. >

Footwear when fishing in the rain.
Minimum ankle high waterproof boots, at all times, when shore fishing. Sturdy, no slippage on rocks, protects the ankles from a multitude of injuries, keeps the feet dry.
-
Any of you guys wear western boots?
I used to wear them alot, but feet got wider and they just didn't fit anymore. Loved 'em though. I had Tony Lamas in lizard and antelope, Justin's in snake, another pair in bullhide. Talk about tough leather. You got some nice boots there Robert.

Bad food combinations that tore you up!!!
Most anything from McDonald's.
