I'm confused. Why not just fish the swimbait on a ball head jig ? No, I doubt that it will even sink straight much less run straight on retrieve. I'd stay with the Blakemore heads and maybe tweek the eyelet forward a bit. I've never found ANYTHING that works in open water among thick schools of shad. Not consistently anyway.

I'd a kicked her in the tits.

Line tie is too far back. No hope for that batch of pours. I wouldn't waste a blade on it.
-
That's what I needed to hear.

Which PFD do you recommend?

Oh for s#it sake, Pete ! Just stay along the shoreline and if you fall out STAND UP. It ain't like your gonna do any deepwater structure fishing or high speed wake jumping in your Pond Prowler. -
Tad screwed the pooch. See how the line tie is BEHIND the swievel ? Not good.
-
Don't know about the last 5 but in the last 15 there definitely has. Nitro's are a fine boat.
-
Well...... How many of us truly have plans to go write a check for a brand new boat any time soon ? I gotta take the WHO CARES approach on the whole deal myself.

The design of a RR is kinda stupid really. The head blocks the water flow that is supposed to turn the blade, and the blade is so close to the body of the jig that it hits it and stops its spin. Nevertheless the dang thing catches fish. Maybe the sporatic uncontrollable nature of the thing is what makes it special. I have had some that catch fish like crazy and others that I was glad to hang up and loose. Bending the line tie forward is something I do to them that I think helps, but who really knows. I also tie on with a loop knot.

I'm sure the scare you had makes a few life changes alot easier to stick to. I could probably use a heart attack myself, just to shake some sense into me. Probably wouldn't work though, I had a good scare a year ago that should have but didn't. I really need to quit smoking and I need to get away from the work related chemicals that I've grown to take so for granted. I eat good, don't drink much, and get plenty of excersize, but at 52 I need to clean up my life a little bit more. We all probably do.

I can't believe a doctor down HERE told you not to fish! If so he needs to be fired. You must have gone to Columbia. Slinging an A-rig might be pushing it a bit, but c'mon... If I felt like it then bygod I'd go. Telling you to quit smoking and THEN saying you can't do anything to get your mind off it.....why that's torture.

True that. That's the reason I've decided to part with this one, it is great on the rivers and smaller lakes but not so great crossing some of the heavy water between the flats here on Lake O. If Taney is getting rough these days I'll take back my comment about this being a good Taney rig. This is a great rig for reasonably slick water.

It is just 1/2" treated plywood covered in a rubber backed floor mat material. Works great, cleans up easily, and lasts forever. Close Ham, it's Mimosa.

"Painted in front of it" I think it's pretty obvious how much "painting" you did in college.
-
No. But if you figure something out while doing it I'd sure like to hear about it....and learn how to do it.

Yikes warrior, sorry to hear that, man. I don't think you're missing much, they are trying to drain Truman down and our levels are doing the backwater up/down/up/down thing. I never do well when that is happening. I can't find the bigger shad either, all of them down this way are the little 2 inchers that don't seem to have grown a bit since Summer.

Asking 2200.00

I have been out but I don't have any stories to tell. Been pretty slow for me. I was doing better before it warmed up.

I'm all for the recycling thing as long as shoddy 4th generation material doesn't show up in places where it shouldn't. There is a HUGE difference in the quality of material used in aluminum boats between the 70's and now. Old aluminum was awesome, a little heavier but tough as hell. This crap nowadays crumbles in comparison.

Sad it is. I haven't seen a frog on Lake Ozark for a long LONG time. Damsel and Dragon flys are getting scarce also. Nobody notices.

The creek by my place holds a fair number of Smallies, and although it is less than a 4 mile trek to the lake they don't do it. They find little nooks and crannies to hunker down in and stay put all Winter. There isn't a single spot anywhere that is over chest deep. Alot of the cracks in the bedrock bottom areas have spring seepage, so I assume they lay in those cracks.

I wait until I have a 1/2 truck load then I take it in. Usually get about 70.00 per trip and I spend it on tackle.

I only recycle aluminum, and in my business I generate a bunch of it. Nothing else is worth the bother IMO. Here's what I don't understand... Every day I carry out a stuffed full trash bag of garbage, but we don't haul in 7 stuffed trash bags worth of anything into our house every week, not even close. So how is my house not getting emptied out ? More goes out than comes in.

In his case it is an indicator for the midge, but a few will probably hit the hopper (trout are stupid, they hit bobbers too). I have done well on Ants and Beetles during Winter in the trout parks so a hopper wouldn't be much of a stretch.
