Awesome! Gander Mtn? Yup

3 revo STX..... ;D

I like the way you think...

Dang,nice winter smallmouth bass!

Raw material slitting & mill operations.80% of the steel we slitted was for auto parts.Whatever steel we scrapped and didn't use I wouldn't be surprised if you guys got.Scrap metal was hurting for awhile there too.

Just wow....Looks like you guys had a great time!

Thanks guys! Things are definitely looking up.They hired 10 of us back,most of us were 5-10 years with the company. Seriously thankful we made it through this rough patch. Still praying for everybody else out there yet.

I'm heading back to work Nov. 30th....after almost a year long of being laid off.I got called back to my old job. It's a sign and feeling of relief i tell ya.Specially for being in Michigan.

I start big and go smaller.I don't fish tourneys,so i like to try and catch something for the day. I've gotten down to 1 1/2" lures before and started getting bites.Talk about being finicky and picky.

Indeed. Nature, wildlife, water, bass . . . . magical peace. That's how it is for me. Relaxing....Nothing beats stress than being outdoors by the water.

Everybody sent their address to redline robert and he'll pick out the names randomly and will give you whoever person's address.You'll be paired up @ random. I guess I'm in too! Ya'll better hope I don't sent $25 worth of thingy jigs... Nah,I'm just kidding,I wouldn't do that! ;D

I'd say $8-$12 a piece given what sizes they are. Those are some awesome lures.I couldn't see why they wouldn't sell for that much.

My wife brought a $25 one last year and so far it's been holding up for her. I've broken 5 of them in 6 years that I've been here. I'm in need of a new one as well for this year..... ;D I miss Texas.

This post made my day.....thank you......

I used to sneak up behind adults and go "meep,meep" pretty loud. I watched way too many road runner cartoons growing up.... ;D

Cheating? No Takes the fun out of it? No Fishing is fishing,regardless what you are using.

That may be true, but once you learn 2 + 2 = 4, you don't need to learn it again. Ok, now I've learned to be patient, why keep repeating the lesson? That actually doesn't make any sense...if you don't apply what you learn then you never really did learn anything.

They get the from me. You can fish them a little more aggressive without worrying about losing them like the more expensive baits.

Ditto!I agree! There was one thing here that taught me something...if you think you are going too slow...slow down even more. You'd be amaze how well that works....specially with stickbaits like the senko.

Like Bassin_Fin@tic mentioned,if you fish rocky areas they actually work better.I wish i could find them in brass.

Good to see you here.

Welcome aboard!

welcome aboard!

Nothin' to talk about. Hooks are the most important equipment we use and compared to everything else, "expensive" hooks are cheap! 8-) That's a big waste of money in my eyes.Even if that lure has been tied on for 15-30 minutes,not catching anything? You guys are still tossing them overboard? If that's the case send them hooks to me! ;D Many of times I will have a stickbait on and switch to a tube with a jig.I have a little compartment space for used plastic with hooks already rigged.I may go back to it later on during the day when i move to another spot.It comes in handy when it's already pre-rigged.

How many people actually have problems trying this? Because for the life of me...this method isn't exactly the easiest thing to do.Specially on fish under 2#. My last fish i killed because it was kept out of water too long.Not to mention i probably stressed it out as well.You almost need to practice this method in order to get it right. I gut hook maybe one-two fish a year...I just end up either keeping the catch or giving it to somebody who is keeping their catch.
