Hawg Caller, I'm a firm believer in your first rule.  That's why I never get to fish.  I just sit in my boat and change lures all day, thinking "Naw, he won't bite that one; Naw, he won't bite that one either; Naw, he won't ..."   Grin Grin Grin

mike, you too seem to be on the right track.  but eventually you have to fish with something.  allow me to suggest that you use the same lure you used yesterday, or maybe the one you were going to use tomorrow.

I'm gonna use the lure that I was going to use next Tuesday, but changed my mind and used it on Monday. Mike, I'll mail the lure to you last week if you want to use it???!!!

Most success in quantity and quality comes when there are no witnesses.

Very clever and well written. I really enjoyed it.

Man, now I realize that I have no chance. I'm sticking to the 1lbers.

What a hawg of a thread!  Can't wait to try out these tactics.
