When i asked her if she liked to fish, she said "Dont know, never tried.I had stopped fishing shortly after she was born, 29 years ago.Too busy in self destruct mode back then. Got her a rod, and the wife and i and my daughter hit the water around noon. Within 20 minutes she said "Dad, something is wrong here, i think i'm on the bottom" From the front of the boat, i could hear the line screaming off her reel.Then i remembered that i hadnt set the drag on her reel. I made my way to the back, tightened the drag and told her to bring it home.As it got closer to the boat, i saw it, a nice 36 inch pike covered in weeds.No net in the boat I grabbed the leader, and it came out of the water comletely, and proceeded to shake, pulling apart a 30lb snap swivel. Here is the only pic that my wife was able to get. Cant see the fish, but you get the idea After that, we moved and she got into a nice little Smallie She was pumped, and i was a proud Dad. The seed was planted,, and she is itchin to get back out again

Find out what fish are in the lake, then use all of the above except the snorkle Try and understand the habits of whatever species is in the body of water you will be fishing. Scan the shoreline, for cover, shade, rocks,etc. Match that with what you know about the fish you are targeting, and FISH! Invest in a small, inexpensive, and portable sonar. It is an invaluable tool if you are serious about fishing.

He has probably had a bad experience with anglers in the past, pitching under his dock.Maybe scratched his boat, or left a hook somewhere on his dock.Not everyone who fishes is polite and respectful like all of us in here. I would have said sorry for disturbing you sir, we will be gone in just a moment. Then when he turns to go, flip him the bird But thats just me

They do sell it at CT. Thats were i got mine. It is not in the Boat section, but in the automobile section with the fuel additives.

Man, that looks like an awesome, pristine lake. If it holds a 3lb smallie like that, just imagine what else it has in store for you. Keep that place a secret for sure

Nice TJ, Really Nice

Amateurs, all of you................. Before i almost died, i would drink 12-14 beers from 6 till 11.30 pm.Every weeknite. On the weekends, i could easily put away 2 cases of 24 per day.Easily, and without feeling bloated.The AVERAGE person could not do that. People like me have a natural tolerance of alcohol,which decreases the longer we keep drinking. So, yes you can drink 50 cans of near beer, or any other liquid for that matter. But why would you want to. If you are drinking them cause you like them, and prefer them to soft drink, then Bravo to you!!! Enjoy !! But if you are drinking them cause they help you get by until you get home to the real stuff...then.... maybe you should be asking yourself a few questions.

try luremaking.com. They sell kits and components for making your own leaders. Really good quality stuff too

My Dear friend, My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your familly. Your Grandfather sounds alot like my Dad.An outdoorsman who passed his curiosity and love of the outdoors with us kids. You will forever be reminded of the good times you had, everytime you put your boat on the water.Everytime i am in my boat, the D.R. White, dad and i are reunited. So will you and your Grandpa, Friend. Long Live the E.R.D.97 !! Peace Paul

Dont ever lose these pics. They will make you smile for many years to come. Looks to me like your gift to him was the best thing he ever got for his birthday Pricless !

Put the fillets on tinfoil.sprinkle with pepper.brush on a bit of CattleBoyz BBQ sauce, add some fresh parsley. Close the foil, and bake at 300F for 20 minutes.

Bob, a long time ago, you told me you would call her Tundra. Stick with your first thoughts.Besides, Remmington is a male sounding name.

This is kinda getting off topic, so i will just say this.If you drink only to get drunk, you may have a problem.To not take notice of this fact is called Denial Which is part of the disease. And, once we have the disease, we never Get Over our addiction. These are Facts , not speculations. Having said that, if you want to debate this, PM me. If it is legal, and you like drinking that junk, and you are not a member of a 12 step group, then by all means drink it.

Sacrilege . NEVER ruin good Bass like that!!!! Sheesh.......such amateurs.......

I used to drink to get drunk.I had to quit 22 years ago.I still believe that the only reason to drink is to get drunk. I can't get drunk, so I dont drink. If it tastes like beer, and looks like beer, then in my mind i want beer, not some yellow frothy fake junk that costs 4 times as much. Drink diet pepsi, or ice tea.Takes away the thirst and doesn't get skunky.

.....so......what we having for dinner again????

plus got 56 percent off at my favorite Italian Restaurant
