It would be really nice if we actually had corn in our impoundments and they were able to flood them, I haven't seen it happen in several years now. The last so many years have been really hit and...

Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate it. We are very happy to have a healthy baby girl. Bailey Grace arrived 7/1/12 at 9:57 PM, she was 6lbs. and 17in. long. She is a very petite little girl, but...

Anyone have the results from the fireman's tournament?

Have you ever tried a B n'm Crappie Gold? I have a 10 footer you can borrow and see if you like, I know it is my favorite by far.

If the coves are free of ice at Shelbyville, I will probably try from the bank, and if it isn't, I might go to Clinton.

Viscious 6# hi-vis yellow here, with no complaints. Last time I spent a little extra to try one of the fancy lines, it was some kind of p-line, and I had nothing but problems with it. So, I am just...

I refer to tightlining as casting a jig, and while keeping your line tight, to watch for the slightest bump, retrieving it slowly. When keeping a jig directly below your rod tip, i refer to it as...

I prefer to stop my chenille bodies when I reach the hook point. Try it, see if it gives you the look you are wanting.

I'm looking for some input on the best fishing show to attend. I live in east central Il., so the closer, the better, but other criteria is more important to me. I am most interested in a show that...

I use the thill mini stealth for this exact reason. They come in different sizes, and they are waggler style. The main difference between these and most other waggler style floats, is the body style....

You are going to have a great dog there. My brother in law had a choc. lab/ husky mix, and it was one of the smartest, disciplined, and loving dogs I have ever seen.

I have put in at Depot. before, and done some hunting south of there. During which, I have seen several fisherman approach from the south, and fish that area, But never have I seen them go past...

Nice job Tyler! I ended up heading to the pond for a couple hours, and although I didn't catch any monsters, I caught around 60 crappie. And as for the spots on channel cats, I believe they only have...

Do yourself a favor, and get an aerial map, or a topo map. You can look for areas that have the best chance for traffic, and eliminate a lot of land real quick. Look for ridges, saddles, and such,...

Deer hunting public land can be a sport all in its own. In Illinois we can't bait in any way, so it really comes down to doing your homework, and going the extra mile. There are definately some...

I don't own both, but I have a Gold, and it is my favorite jigging pole. It's lightweight, it has held up well, and I love having a cork handle.

For a casting slip float, I prefer the mini stealth. I have used a bunch of different ones, but the mini stealth is by far my favorite. It is very sensitive, you can definately see the lift bite, and...

I use a 10 footer for vertical jigging, and it is probably my favorite. I'm a big fan of the cork handle. I also use a 10 foot BnM Buck's graphite jiggin rod, but the gold is my favorite.

I imagine it is all weld, it is designed like a bass boat, not like an open floor jon. I know the ins and outs of buying a boat, I was just looking for some info. from someone that has maybe owned...

1997 Lowe170, with a 50HP Johnson 2-stroke, with tilt and trim. I don't have a lot of info. yet, just a few pics., and a brief description. I don't know much about these boats, so was just looking...

I started using viscious panfish last year, and have had no problems. It will definately be my new crappie fishing line. This year I bought some regular viscious mono to try on the rest of my rods.

Definately a chrome/blue ratL'trap, or a strike king red eye shad. Sometimes I switch to a double jig rig if we are in them super thick in shallow water.

There a lot of ways to melt lead, but some are not the safest, or best idea for pouring certain things. When we pour decoy weights, and large river weights, all we use is a metal coffee can with vise...

I read your Pm, and I sent you an e-mail, as requested.

Thanks for the replies guys. But, I am in the $50 range right now, and I have to get a new vise fairly quick. I have been tying jigs for about a year now, and the starter vise I have used, now...

Waxies

You can't go wrong with shimano. I use several different brands, but my shimano's are exceptionally smooth, and well built.

I usually go with a small slip float, small split shot, small hook, and a waxie.

Does anyone have any used vises for sale? I am looking for something in the $50 range.
