Pump, they also have them on ebay for a couple of bucks.

Just wondering Old, haven't seen the lake except in pictures and videos since Deg and Whopper got me out on Erie, must be 10 - 12 years ago? As I recall the boat was leaving a mud trail as we left the dock, it needed a couple more feet of water then.

Auto tunes!

Old, are your water levels there high?

Pump, ya I noticed that 4 wire set up first thing, and according to this you can use 5 wires but have to leave one hookless. http://alabamarig.com/regulations/four-hooks-legal-fishing-the-alabama-rig-in-ontario/ We can only use 3 hooks here, the top 2 would probably get a couple of 3.5 willow blades or a screw lock and dummy bait with no hooks. In that video they mention using 3 baits and leaving the bottom wires empty to make it more snagless in rocky areas, I just wonder if the 3 baits on the top wires throw off the balance? You can get 5 wire a - rigs on ali for a couple of bucks.

mamona, I think we can only guess at that, I used to pitch a floating Rapala into holes in the lily pad fields at Pointe Au Baril, you could see L/M bass rise right up behind them, some would commit with a twitch and some would just swim away. I am just guessing it happens a lot more with lures we can't see?

Pump, this video is pretty good at covering the A - rigs. Ohio only allows 3 hooks, but you can load up the other wires with dummy lures.

To avoid any unpleasant experiences check your fishing regulations, I used to fish 3 states and Ontario, what is legal in one place may not be elsewhere.

LOL, @ the astroturf, I was driving thru one of our eastern burbs here and a house had green painted limestone for front yard grass.

LOL, I have country grass, disk ed up the yard with a tractor, raked most of the rocks out, spread seed and put straw on top top hold in moisture. Show them dandelions a little love! They are wildflowers!

Cool! Interesting look on the a - rig. Never got to try one, but those might have worked well for Erie smallies.

Yes, I fished a smaller tournament here a couple of times and no one caught a fish, and some of those guys normally did well. I have blanked myself more times than I care to remember, and even using live bait fun fishing.

LOL, I remember my last guide act, I put Deg, Whopper, and Capt Joe on sheephead!

Welcome back pigeon! bass? like the great American sport fish bass? or the rocky ones?

Dinty, there are youtube videos of that camp too.

Well now I know why I have never heard of a kinder egg.

LOL! ??? curds and eh?

LOL, you need to try here!

It does seem to be a pretty complex issue? Foreign suppliers are flooding the U.S. aluminum market - The Washington Post List of aluminium smelters - Wikipedia US Aluminum Imports by Supplying Country What Aluminum Extraction Really Does to the Environment | RecycleNation I imagine that if we could produce enough Aluminum for our own use without the associated environmental laws, labor costs, and energy costs we would be doing it?

I'll bet that moose is enjoying open water season!

http://www.cleveland19.com/story/38338581/bugging-out-swarms-of-midges-invade-northeast-ohio LOL, payback for the tariffs? Akri, I never headed up north until after the bass opener in late June, most trips were July and August and a guy trip only in September. It seems to me the mayfly deal we ran into was right around the bass opener. I live 25 miles or so inland from Lake Erie now, the midges and mayflies aren't much of a problem here, we see a few at times but nothing like along the lakefront. When I had the condo 1/2 mile from the lake they were a pain. Bass seem to handle the warmer water temps much easier than pike or walleye, even here I have caught them early in the year where you don't see them once the water warms.

Easy listening music.

http://fox8.com/2013/06/17/return-of-the-mayflies-midges-back-in-ne-ohio/ This is an old story, but the mayflies are bigger than the midges, but both can be a pain, they don't bite, just get all over the place.
