From what I was told, the commercial guys at the meeting a couple of weeks ago were refusing to use the markers, even though they are free. Not sure where the logic is in that. It's not like catching...

I didn't think that Lowrance and Minn Kota played together?

I've bow shot a boat load of these things below the dams in the summer when the water is crystal clear. They will stage up stationary in a brush pile just like a predatory fish. Only difference is...

KDFWR did that here 5 or 6 years ago.

One of these days I'm taking a cooler and a lawn chair just to sit at the ramp for the entertainment.

The silvers and bigheads that have taken over our lakes are not bottom feeders. They are filter feeders and feed wherever in the water column the most plankton is.

What age class was the die off from last year? From the hundreds (thousands) I saw they all appeared to be of the same 16" or so length. I would think those would be a relatively young age class.

Wish I was going to be in town this week.

I work with plastics. Can you explain this statement? Composites can still be plastics. Plastic comes in many forms.

Straight orange seems to be decent when it is muddy. For me, pink (mainly pink & white) shines in the middle of winter or middle of summer. Not sure why.
I tend to agree on the electric chicken....

Crappie are fickle beasts. Spider rig or long line with a buffet of different colors and you will see that color does make a difference. They may change preference every couple of hours but they...

Just have to wait and see how it pans out. Several vendors are peddling "the sky is falling, buy my inventory now!" but that may or may not be the case.

You boys are just envious of my jaw shattering, rod breaking, elbow fracturing hook sets. :biggrin

And one handed typing sucks. :biggrin

I've got to clean up all the blood on the front deck of my boat at some point after making a sacrifice of about an 8 lbr today. I hooked mine right in the bottom of the gill plate.

Here's my setup. No clue why the pics loaded sideways. That spring loaded pin is SS and made for bimini tops. I can pull the one pin at each upright and take them off to put the...

If you want something that you can trailer, I suggest taking it to an upholstery shop and letting them make one that fits the boat the way that it is currently rigged. It's not cheap but it's the...

Find a good used glass boat. Too many things on your want list fits one perfectly and I can't think of a single aluminum boat that will hit many of them.

That's what I'm seeing. The fish I'm catching just look poor. Not the linebacker type that I'm used to catching this time of year.

Pretty sure stuff like that is illegal to put out. It will flat wreck a boat if you don't know it's there and takes years to rot down.

Hollar at me while you're down this time, you old coot.

True. I duck hunt all winter on KY and Barkley. 15 minutes afloat vs sinking below water can be all the time in the world between saving a life and drowning though. I was just cautioning that...

Honestly it doesn't take a rocket scientist, just someone with a fish finder that has fished these lakes their entire lives to tell you that the baitfish population has taken a massive hit from...

Then they check the fish right before weigh in. I was helping run FLW bass tournaments back when it was still the Redman Tournament Trail. I've been around the block a time or two myself.

It will be a couple of days when I have the cover off of it next but I will take some pictures for you. I'm not talking about Gene's rod rack. These are a combo of Cornfield Crappie and my own...

Inflatables are not necessarily a good option in cold weather. The CO2 doesn't fill properly making them less buoyant in cold weather. Some states even mandate that they can't be used below a certain...

They've been here for over 20 years now as well. You can see acres and acres of them on the surface feeding in KY and Barkley in late summer. When the current gets high they pack like sardines into...

I strapped mine down for years but can only get about 3 or 4 across on top of my rod locker. That meant piling the rest on top of those (usually have 8 to 10 long rods, pending on whether someone...

I just solved that problem on mine. One bimini top pin on each. Takes me about 2 seconds to remove each one and lay it down.
