growing up i never wanted to touch frogs because i was told they give you warts. Maybe an old wives tale?

goodyear just bought out cooper tire for 2.8 billion

took a 55 gallon extra tough leaf bag and cut out holes for my arms and head and wore a straw hat because i was to cheap to buy good gear. The straw hat ended up weighing 5 lbs and my body got wet from the arm slots and neck. I then went and bought frog toggs 2 piece rain suit and stood out in the pouring rain and my body didnt get wet or cold cause the minnesota rain in summer can come and cool everything way down with a wind behind it. The negatives were my shoes got soaked duhhh and the hood that it comes with made of same material makes it hard to fish because it feels like a paper sack on your head and ya cant see as it engulfs your head and eyes.

what would you guys in gator country do if a gator actually got ahold of your leg and pulled you in, how would you fight it off to survive?

put out a big lawn water sprinkler like the ones the golf courses use and when he shows up turn it on.

yeah i think i will stay put in minnesota where beavers are my nemises going after my top waters and the occasional snapping turtle.

i watched this morning on tv and seen a angler catching bass using a square bill looking lure in chartruesse in real super muddy lookin water. Everything i read suggests using dark colors in muddy water so whats up with this color lure? i watched this morning on tv and seen a angler catching bass using a square bill looking lure in chartruesse in real super muddy lookin water.

does bending the blade one way or the other affect the chatter ability?

i had an encounter with one in thailand, scared the daylights out of me.

my wife picks out her own lures and even paid for 2 of them she lost last year.

i use chest waders, was interested in the comfort of a tube, can you tell me about its good points and bad such as comfort and mobility? Thank you.

what did the bass have to say?

fleetfarm has tons of berkley max scent soft baits from last year selling for $1.74 a pack regular $6.99.

pad crasher is all i buy. I use the regular one and then started to use the popper version and never went back to the regular frog no matter how heavy the cover. I use a solid black, translucent black, and green top white bottom frog. I take a white or black marker and put spots on the bottoms and put a few small glass beads inside the bodies for rattles. Fish really only see the bottom of the frog so the top colors dont matter to me just the bottoms. Then i cut an inch off of the tails, bend the hooks away from the body which requires a small vicegrip because i pull them a good ways away from the frog body. Look at my frogs and see that i pull the hook an 1/8 inch away from body, i started doing this after many missed hits, i wait a couple seconds after the hit and then set the hook and i feel my hookups has greatly improved. It goes through cover great with the hooks out and very rarely do i get a little piece of something caught on the hook.

never thought of hooking it like that but will do so come spring. I hide this color of worm from my wife, i keep the pack tucked away in my pocket or bank bag. Its the only secret i keep from her.

i have thrown a hollow frog in this situation with no weeds around and caught fish.

same here

If my wife is walking around the kitchen with a freshly baked rhubarb pie and i am hungry or not, cold or hot i am chasing down that pie untill i get a slice.

used lures stay out of the box untill they are dry. Box comes in the house after a trip and all drawers are opened till the next trip. Will towell dry compartments as needed.

anything thing that floats

Depends which lake i pick for my first bank fishing stop. If i stop at the lake with the longest walkable shore line which is 3/8 mile i put on the spinnerbait with big paddletail trailer. I will walk the length of the bank and cast out reel in then move 10 yards cast again and then will walk back doing the same thing and if no luck or not much luck i will sit down and chill for 5 minutes while thinking about my next approach. Then i may break out the waders and will be able to walk forever in the water never having to come back for hours as my tackle sling bag contains all i need for all types of structure. If i start out at my frog lake then of course i throw the frog and if no luck or miss some fish which does happen with the frog i will switch to a topwater spook or popper and cast around the lilly pads and stretches of open water.

folks moved out to the boonies years ago so they could collect junk and keep it around their propery and now the city folk are movin out to the boonies and want to change everything. I like hangin out at my sisters farm out by Delano MN and cruisin the backroads and lookin at peoples hidden treasures. Alot of the stuff you see are like time capsules going way back.

you mean like this,
