Thread: Glad to have that out of my system...

Well said! I'm there with ya.

Heck I just like fishing.

i like the thump and its 98% of what I have done so far this spring as every spring when that bite starts but you draw the line sometimes after I factor in time and money spent and number of trips! I still am stubborn in the spring for the thump I can catch em trollin 12 months outta the year but only pole fishin a small time frame camparitively speakin.

But you have to admit that the knee-jerk reaction you get from the 'bump' can't be duplicated by any other styles of fishing... Gotta love it...

I also decided to head to Lakeview so that I would be closer to home at dusk and not be in as much trouble with my wife for coming home so late. I ended up catching 20 or more with only 6 keepers and it was fun. The whole time I was thinking "should of kept the trolling gear and gone further South". Single poling is now out of my system for the time being. I got that feeling that I'll be in trouble again tomorrow night for going further South..:D Like me or hate me, I have realized I'm a troller and I'm O.K. with that..:D By the way, I love to feel the thump, but I love to see my trolling rods dip just as much.

That's ok slimey but they have a 10 step program for your condition though.

I just hope OleMiss is happy with himself. Heaping all that peer pressure on poor ole slimey.

I know what I was thinking, but what was I thinking? OleMiss B playin mind games wit me... Now I must head out to Butla for some HiTek therapy. :D

Now, I am basically a 100% jig man that loves to feel the thump. I will be rigging my boat up for trolling soon and plan on doing that as well. So let me get this straight. Trolling is a year round thing that is affective even during the spawn when the fish are in the shallows? School me a little bit here guys.
