The other night my wife and I were watching a late movie. There was a couple on the shore of a lake that were " getting busy ". Clothes were coming off, things were getting " steamy ". At this point my wife and I turned to each other, excitement in our eyes, and at the same time said " Man, did you see that fish jump!!. It had to be a 5 pounder!!!

                                       It's been a long winter

                                                                Jim

Road Trip!!!

You know you are obsessed when you use braid as dental floss....

My favorite one is: When Garlic smells like JJ's magic, not the other way around. 

I have to keep telling myself that soft plastics and jigs marked PB&J are not real food. I have to keep my wife away from anything marked bubble gum.

When driving, If we pass anybody of water I start breaking it down.

 

"Whoa, rivers up today. Bet they got lock 2 open. You see how the water is pooling up on the east bank behind those boulders? Nice south wind. I could get the Kayak right up there and run squarebills all day!"

 

Then I get "Will you watch the road and stop looking at the water!"

 

It's been since thanksgiving since I have fished. Only a few more weeks to go...

I do the same lol. I'm probably at my biggest risk of getting in an accident when the road parallels water of any kind. 

I've been practicing my flipping and pitching in the backyard, and I swear I have felt a bite.

Probably a tree pounder!

When you know how Trick Worms taste (salty).

Most of your aquaintances only talk to you about fishong

When you wake your old lady up setting the hook in your sleep!

Help me . . . .

When your kids have middle names like, largie, smallie, spot, June bug, and shad.

When your delivery guy knows exactly where to hide the packages so your wife won’t find them when she gets home first.

X3- be it a lake, river, or the ocean at the movies, on tv, or just out driving those thoughts of what kind of fish, where are they setting up, what might they hit, what rod/rig/lure would I use and where would I start.  I’ve got to chuckle at myself when this happens...

When your outlay for fishing tackle exceeds the GDP of a third world country.

 

When the inside of house looks like a Cabela's or Bass Pro shop blew up.

 

When you have enough rods and reels to equip a boy scout troop.

 

When the bait monkey has asked have you had you "fix" this week.

 

When you have every color of tackle warehouse tee shirts.

 

When your wife wants to paint the bathroom, and she asks you what colors you like, and you reply with "black and blue or green pumpkin."

You want the garlic scent with red wine vinegar on your salad.......

 

You constantly surf the web for sales, clearances and close outs. The money you save keeps you above the dollar menu at  mcdonalds.

 

you go out to eat and ask to bring home the left over salad dressing to use as attractant.

.

You already have 10 of your hottest baits in stock but you buy ten more of each.

 

Id rather work on filling my new tacklebox than going out to a dinner and a movie. 

 

You go to sleep thinking about that first cast of the season.

 

paying too much attention while bass fishing could get me mugged someday. It’s not good to get completely zoned out. Look around often to things going on around you.

When every coat, jacket, windbreaker you own has soft plastics in the pocket.  

When you go out to the garage to get something for work and see the boat sitting there all shiny and ready to go, but there’s still 2’ of ice on the lakes and you just want to start bawling! ( this is me right about now).

I have done this several times after a day of good catching. Nothing like a “dream hookset” to jolt everyone out of sleep ?

Bass water recon- I use my trucks Navigation system to "see" the water I can't see from the road...now if they could just add the bathymetry to those maps!

I'm an early riser . I think the only person on this forum who gets up earlier than me is Catt .Maybe he just doesnt sleep .  So I'm in the recliner with my coffee  at 4 AM this morning going through   Bass resource and  nod off . I dream that I am in my boat  idling around a cove , getting a general impression of the lake .    I wake up thinking the fish are 8 foot deep and I'm heading to   secondary points and throw a Deep Wee R .

You routinely find used soft plastics in the driveway and bed of the truck.

Last night my wife started a commotion. I thought she was in medical distress. I came around the corner and found her at the computer, banging her fists on the table.

She was checking the weather and the coming storm was updated to around 19" of snow.

She was just about shouting " NO, NO MORE SNOW, WE NEED ICE OUT, ICE OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
