Wow this guy did his homework! Thanks Secret santa!

I suck....No lie. Unless it's fishing related...forget it.

Still looking for work here. Been laid off since 12/10,i was one of the lucky ones they kept around till the end.They've been laying people off since feb. of this year. What exactly is IT?

I did some similar with a 3/4 oz lure.Now my reel is not as smooth.I was actually shocked yours is performing the task.I snagged the lure too thinking something bit it and set the hook on it. My 2500 tierra still works and all,but the smoothness factor isn't there anymore.Might just be me...but it really doesn't feel as smooth as it once did.I try to stick with 1/2 oz or less on that reel now.

I'm following this advice next year. My only problem is trying to control a lure in hard current.Basically fighting that current all year.It seemed like they just had those dams open all year. That was frustrating.

Waiting impatiently to open mine.*I'll open later today* *i can't wait* ;D There's a hook hanging out of the package... I'm just glad it didn't get our mail guy. Wasn't there going to be a thread around christmas for this?

All year round.

This is what is Must have for my water.... #1.Berkley powertube 3" in smoke color(this is my magic bait) #2.White or white/chart. 1/4 H&H spinnerbait #3.silver inline spinners 1/3 oz with a hint of green on body #4.Brown G-man's football jig with a green pumpkin or brown trailer(i use joe s. trailers) #5.white grubs single tail.As long as that tail has action it doesn't matter on the brand.I'm like raul I use 1/8 oz jig whatever brand with a sharp enough 1/0 hook.I lose to many jigs to keep expensive ones around. Those baits have worked the past 2 years

I love those little pepperidge farm snacks.Somebody used to give them to my parents too and i was the only one eating from it. They ain't cheap either....About $50 worth of stuff in it.

Happens here too...got into a fight 2 years back with 2 older guys using a net and taking everything out.Must have had over 20 bass(most undersized) 30+ walleyes(most undersized) and some 200 crappies and bluegills.They filled 2 coolers. I went to call the cops and they took off...never saw what they were driving. Last year i didn't see a bluegill or a crappie in sight.I think i was lucky enough to catch maybe one or 2 bass out of that spot this year.

There was a pink spinning combo posted on here awhile back...pink rod split grip..It looked awesome... :-[

Who the heck names their kids after racist words or names of the past? I'm sorry,but i just don't feel bad.I mean i feel extremely awful for the kids,but the parents need to be slapped. I would have denied them service myself.My offer would have been first and last name and leave out the middle.That would have been my "take it or leave" offer. I don't ever remember my parents putting my middle name on anything.

Don't mess with me or you are dead.

Horrible news,Prayers sent.

Rat,Hamster,snake or an iguana. I've had all except a snake....I don't have the nuts to hold them.

I gotta try both of those now.... ;D

Good story.Really appreciate you sharing that. Good to hear your little girl came out good.Makes you love and appreciate them all the more! God Bless you and your family.

Probably a bowl of ramen noodles. Gonna make a TV dinner(hungryman) in a minute.

I use a small version of gander mountain tackle bag.Found it on sale one day.I shore fish is the reason why for the small version.I might be changing to backpack soon now too. My okeechobie fats is too big to carry around.

Hey we still got ice fishing for yellow perch and walleyes! Fishing is fishing. We gotta keep our sanity somehow.

I'd be somewhat ticked at that. My work was the worst for me...giving me a $1.00 off some fancy restaurant.I didn't want to look like an idiot so i never used them.

I don't think you'd have anything to worry about when catching those dinks.Line should be the least of your worries.

I like how you think...My thoughts exactly.

Unions bring in better benefits as they discuss those with the employer. Non-Unions receive whatever the company thinks is "fair". Unions stabilize the pay for what matches the job. Non-unions can pay everybody the same pay regardless how much harder a certain job is compare to person A & B. Unions protect long time workers Non-unions do not protect workers Unions will work out a problem between employer/management. Non-union is "what they say is final". These are some of the familiar one,as they all have ups and down points like muddy and cart7 has been pointing out.But remember not all unions are the same. We've never filed grievance against management if they helped us....because hand in hand we like to see management get dirty and sweaty.Usually they pass on that part. ;D
