That is very generous and I would love a trip like that. There is probably a slim chance we'll go from Illinois to Gulf Shores this summer. Is that far away from there?

Thanks!

Bingo! That is the one. THANKS!

Trying to paste picture. Just signed up for tapatalk. No luck so far. Not seeing picture frame. Must be missing it. Skirt similar to those, but not as big. Looked at gitzits. Have some. Head...

I know. Just don't remember my photo hosting site account info. Does this website allow direct uploads of pics?

The skirt is like those on bass spinnerbaits only proportionally smaller (barely past the hook).

I've been having great luck on redears lately with small jig. Only have one. It has a white molded minnow head (like a Northland mimic minnow) and about a half inch long bushy white black gray...

Ledhed: You have quite the variety there with a lot of great looking little crankbaits. Which are your favorites? I.e. if you had to pick five to travel fish some pond you've never visited, which...

My wife and I have purchased 8 kayaks. 2 10 ft wilderness systems tarpons. 2 13.5 ft wilderness system rides. 2 relatively cheap 9 ft ones from Cabelas (don't remember brand) and two cheap 8 ft...

My wife and I have four. All are Wilderness Systems. Two are Tarpon 100s and two are Ride 135s. We purchased all from Austin Kayak. We didn't buy the factory angler models; but we got the Austin...

Studied it some more. What I think I'm seeking is a side imaging unit at a bargain price. It probably doesn't exist. Basically, it appears the cone is too small to do much good at shallow depth so...

mduncan62: Maybe I didn't phrase it well. I fish shallow water so that is my priority. I know the approximate depth of most of the areas I will be fishing so providing the depth isn't a big...

Clint is right. There are variances among the different models and sizes. Almost everything has a tradeoff. My wife and I have Wilderness System Tarpon 100s rigged for fishing. They are sit on...

I just splurged for a Temple Forks Outfitter Signature Series 8 foot 2 piece UL paired with a Shimano Stradic CI4 reel. Just used once so far; but I was impressed with how far I could pitch jigs and...

I'm looking for a fish finder. Prefer to keep cost under $500. Will be fishing local, small lakes and ponds pretty much exclusively. Therefore, I don't care about how it does beyond about 25 foot...

We use them that size as bait for our bluegill here in Illinois!:D

You can find them on the Mister Twister website. I tried the chartreuse flake ones last year with decent results. I think they're a good lure. :)

I haven't tried carp for a lot of years; but I don't remember them being so bad. How they are prepared probably makes a big difference. If you don't mind my asking, how did you catch them?

Update: The boat is being delivered tonight. Good point about resell; but will probably keep for a long time and stability is a big issue (neither wife or I swim and she's a little gun shy about...

Thanks for the response Fishinman91! :)

Update:

The boat has been ordered. I'm semi-set on the following for a trolling motor.

I'm planning to purchase the 15 foot version of the pontoon boat shown here Pro-Tatch.com. It is a little 5 x 15 foot, 4 pontoon boat. My wife and I mainly fish on fairly shallow, local, big ponds...

I found them here...

As to why... I have limited experience with them; but had some last summer and consistently caught the bluegill...

What is the best size circle hooks for Bluegill and where can I find them?

That is a very nice rod. Enjoy it. Take good care of it; but keep in mind that it is more important that is be used well than it remain pristine!

To each his own, but I wouldn't stock green sunfish. Some green sunfish and bullhead catfish got into my 18 acre lake some how and it is hard to get them out.

It's a personal decision based upon...

No offense, but I wouldn't put catfish in there. I certainly wouldn't put bullhead catfish there. Channels of a large enough size to be effective predators will likely go in the skillet. Flatheads...

Lots of different backgrounds and employment which just goes to show we're all just people. I'm Administrator of a public health department, farm, and do some other stuff on the side. 911 added a...

I should have specified that the fishing question is not restricted to just crappie fishing but any kind of fishing.

I may be in the Orlando Florida area on February 17 - 21. Is there any good fishing in that area during that time? If so, what types of fishing? Any recommendations for locations? Any...
