Luck E Strike
Much as I love Luck E strike plastics baits...even I stay away from the hard bait selection. $7.99 really isn't that cheap when comparing to most baits on the market.So how bad can it really be?

Green Bay vs Men-A-Sorta?
Yup,Packers run this show. I'm hoping for back to back Superbowl wins.

Econoscale
Mine work fine as as intended. Brought for toothy critters mainly. The scale is in 1/2 pound increase.So you don't really know the exact weight in oz.But you can get a close enough weight if you are not picky.

Bites To Catches - What Is Good Number?
WOW! Now that's a surprise.I usually carry a UL with me as well,if I miss a bite I can almost always catch it with the UL combo with a smaller bait.90% of them come back as rock bass or bluegills.

Bites To Catches - What Is Good Number?
I'm at 50% bite to catch. I usually blame bluegills,rock bass and smaller fish that can't exactly inhale the entire lure for many of those missed bites. The biggest mistake I see people doing is recasting and wasting time on the spot after a bite they never will catch.

Clearance Rack!
Not sure how this would even work? Might interfere with the sponsors of this site.

How Many Bass Did You Catch This Year?
Under 100. I only fish for bass from late April-October. I did better this year from shore than I did the previous years. I know I could have had way more if I had something to get on the water.So my Goal now is to figure out how I can get on the water next season.

When Are You Done For The Year?
Looks like I'm already done here in Michigan. Too busy with work and family now. I'd be lucky to get out one or two more before it ices over on the lakes. My hands get cold way too fast and it really isn't much fun or even really worth my time going out at that point. Usually I'm done right before Halloween.October,November and December are usually busy months for me.Then I can't start fishing for bass again till Bass Season*(C & R only) opens here which is usually on the last weekend of April.

Texas Rigging
yes...I've lost more curly tails than I care to count to bluegills. Turtles are also known to cut a bait in half....I've reeled in crayfish imitators plastics with the head and claws bit clean off.

Christmas Exchange 2011
I'm in...I just got a new dick's sporting goods store and it rocks in the fishing department. It'll give me an excuse to shop there.

Sonic Spook
There's one place where a train runs through every couple of hours or so and it has never effected the fishing for me. It makes quite a rumble and shakes the ground pretty good. I think if it's an common,I think they adapt to it. Then again It's all my opinion and I'm no biologist.

Ripped My Thumb Nail Off
Ouch,I ripped off mine when i was skateboarding.Going down this steep hill and somehow my middle finger went under the wheel and ripped it clean off.It did grow back just fine. Looking at your story,you are lucky you didn't wrap your hand into it. You could have lost much more than a thumb nail.

Cop Hits The Jackpot!
I wonder if they tried to bribe their way out with donuts.

The Ups And Downs Of Fall Fishing
Every year....once the bite stops happening for me from shorefishing,I'm done.There is a small window of opportunity....you have to be there at the right time.Like you said it's gonna either be hot or very slow.That's the ups and downs of fishing in the Fall. Spring and Summer is actually my favorite time to fish.Only because I've been at it long enough I've developed a pattern of where the fish will kinda be at.

First Pet
My rabbit wasn't that cool.....far as I can remember it never really did anything cool.Matter of fact I think I got bit by it. I ate mine for dinner one night.About the only memory I really have of it was it did taste pretty good.

Kayak Fishing Offers Other Rewards
Man,I've been seriously thinking about getting a kayak and this video is even more considering the idea now.
-
Would You Or Wouldn't You?
Said it once and I'll say it again. Nope!!! As much fun and great it may sound to fish professionally for a living,It would turn old real quickly.Some people could do it,I'm not one of them.It takes a lot to be a professional at something like that.
-
Something I Did Not Know
I never throw my used/beat up baits in the water...They go in my pocket and in the trash at home. Senkos can really swell up too....I haven't tested out any other baits and how bad they swell up,but i know senkos are pretty bad.

How Often Do You Get Skunked?
During this time of the year,It's a lot! I think I'm already done for the season...this is the 3rd week now I haven't done any fishing.Work,family and among other things are keeping me way to busy...Sadly

Wife Outfished Me...
It's a hobby and my wife seems to understand that. However.....I cannot get a boat till I get her a house first. Guessing another 2-3 years before that happens.

Truck Tailgate Theft
My brother got his stolen earlier this year...Crazy

It's Funny How...
I'm not going anywhere near it.....That thing is just plain too expensive to me.I fish from shore,so you know how easy it would be for me to lose it or should I say lose that many lures all at once? So I'm going to be one of those guys not throwing the alabama rig anytime soon. I don't see the point in it in my situation. I'm not sure it legal here?

Opinions On Mislabeling
Thank you,Thank God! Now I love you! Dick's here usually uses orange stickers as sale items. If I find a Curado for $65 at dicks...I'm gonna ask somebody once....if they say "That's the right price"...buy it and let it go.It's all about having a peace of mind for me.
