True that...College is just an overpriced stepping stone to the job market for most people and athletic careers are short. Jump ship and get paid as soon as you can.

Another great job...but I'm missing the underwater shots. Angel Hair in a dubbing loop will work in place of the estaz.

Great fish!

Soft Bait Worm Fishing For River Smallmouth
Gavin replied to mic's topic in General Angling Discussion
I carry a few but dont use them often...4" Zoom Finesse worms, and some 6" finesse worms. Usually fish em on a texas rig, or a neko rig. -
Location is a factor too. If your floating the 11pt in the Summertime...jets are a real nuisance. Seems that most are out to race up and down, but there arent that many floaters. Head to the Meramec near Onandaga on a warm weekend, and its the wall to wall floaters that become the nuisance. Add a couple jets to the mix, and it becomes unbearable. There is plenty of stupidity to spread around.
-
There is no denying that jet boats are great transportation. On the down side...they are loud, fast, pitch wakes, and pressure wash every shallow spot that they encounter. Drunken river doofusses...have no pro's, only con's. They ruin the experience of others and pose a danger to themselves. If anything needs limits, it individual behavior on the river.

Awesome...bet that stretched your string!

Lots of folks hate on the Wee Craw, others swear by it. Others fish plastic almost exclusively and do well. I like to fish baits that require me to manipulate the lure and I love to see the strike...So I tend to toss topwater, flukes, and jerkbaits until the fish tell me they want a jig. There is no right or wrong way...its just about having fun with what works for you.

Guessing that Rons end stinks have been downwind?

There's a couple canoe rental/campgrounds on the James check em out.

Recommendation For Waterproof Insulated Coveralls
Gavin replied to Mitch f's topic in General Angling Discussion
Walls from Walmart...Not waterproof but cheap, and a great outerlayer for winter camping. -
A rack like AJ's is the way to go...unless you have someplace to store a trailer.
-
Dry here too...left about a dozen whites in a protected shady spot.. and pulled a dozen yellows at a sunny spot....need rain.
-
Surprised that a man of the cloth would fish in in a bass's bedroom.....Be fruitful, multiply....and all that good jazz...
-
I'm always trying to whittle it down...but its not working.I usually start with a buzzbait or walker, fluke, and a jig n chunk rigged before I get to the water and adjust from there. I like jerkbaits allot...and some bottom bouncing stuff..Always have some Zoom Fat Albert Curly Tails, A couple bags of 4" Chompers Hula Grubs, 3.5" Tubes, and some Hair Jigs. I probably need to fish spinnerbaits and crankbaits a bit more.

A couple ideas here.. http://riverbassin.com/forum/showthread.php?8701-Reborn-Ultimate-119-baby!

Your vids keep getting better and better....plus you have a kid who can row, and cast!
-
Wax on, wax off.... Just rub some on and thats it....Its probably parrafin canning wax, available at any grocery store. .
-
Fried...sprinkle with S&P and some saffron, bread in 50/50 flour and corn meal, fry in grape seed oil...(nuetral flavor, and a higher smoke point). Saute...fry steak in iron skillet over high heat.....1.5' rib eye...bought 4-5 minutes per side for rare to med rare....wrap in foil set aside...deglaize pan....add butter, morels, salt, fresh cracked pepper...do not over cook...flame with cognac finish with cream or 1/2 n 1/2...No steak....makes a great pasta sauce...may want to add some garlic.
-
Ahi Tuna & Morels...it looks fantastic!
-
Some will grow to the size of beer can if you leave them....some wont...But if your on public ground..Pick em!
-
Game On!

OK....lets argue about clearest river in the state..Ron, I'd really appreciate a link to the secchi disk data on the Black River v. other rivers in the state if you are going to give your opinion on these types of matters.
-
Found one litte white about the size of a a grape at my early spot yesterday.......Should have a good mess to pick tomorrow or Sunday.

We should have a separate C&R only tag..But we should charge allot more for it. Call it a tax on insufferable whining.
