    What is it with kids and body piercing these days? Nice work there, Booner. You'll be lucky to get a job at McDonald now.

    Lovey had better hang on to her boobs or she'll get a black eye. Now that I think of it maybe those old LS's were designed that way on purpose. But yeah that's gonna be my move from this point forward. When I got a boat that's a real POS and I can't feesably improve on it... I'll just slap a BADASS HORN on it and call it a day!

    Arrrggh! Don't make me go there The Lone Star ride and handling is a bit of a disappointment. It takes choppy water ALMOST as gracefully as my Lowe Olympic. In other words....It'll shake your teeth loose. The hull looks straight but the boat handles like it has a severe reverse rocker. The best tune I could achieve on the Big Twin still wouldn't pull a sick Ho out of bed, much less pop a skier up, even after reasonable prop swapping. Pro's: It LOOKS really cool, and the HORN is impressive.

    "Winning" is just a bonus. Nobody, regardless of how good they are can control the size of the bites they'll get much after "keeper" size, not even on their home lake. So whoever WINS isn't as significant, in the real world, as who consistently finishes in the top tier.

    Yep, that was a good read. Pushed me over the edge to hitting the forbidden stretch of one of my favorite creeks. If I suddenly seem absent I may have gotten shot or thrown in jail. Wish me luck

    That's when it pays to have a diverse sense of humor As long as everyone is laughing and having a good time out on the lake most folks will be back for another shot at'em during a time when the bite is better.

    Squirrels do get kinda embarrassed when they get wet. And for good reason...cuz they transform from Graceful Bushytail to Clumsy Weasel in under 2 seconds.

    I notice on the new maps that Leadmine and Berry bluff areas are merged now. Also notice a bit of traffic making it to the rivers edge on the BB side and wondered if that was all MDC personnel or if it was locals doing a little outlaw 4-wheelin'.

    My competitive fishing technique/plan stays the same all year long except for February and March events. It's not all that much fun to me anymore but when it's time to get serious about putting a fat sack of fish together it is the best way I know of for me to consistently get it done regardless of the conditions. During the Winter I would just sling jerkbaits and grubs like everyone else, but in comparatively scaled down locations, and hope I get lucky.

    Yeah but when they got back in they wouldn't know which truck was theirs. It would be Pandemonium.

    Oh man! I gotta eat a skiff over a technicality? This is gonna hurt
  12. fishinwrench
    Yeah well....After 18 years of me retrieving flys out of trees and untangling leaders, it's About Time! Now when she does it I can just look over my shoulder and say, "Ooh boy, good luck with that one".

    They'll be waitin'

    You can poke a hole in fiberglass with a ROCK a blunt one at that. You're 10,000x more likely to hit a rock than you are an icepick. LMAO! Go ahead.....I've got all day

    Back when my dad, grandad, and I fished the middle fork of the Salt we would stop at a city park lake before we got to the river and do the same thing (flip the boat). Once we got to the river we'd back the trailer up to the sandy bank and slide the boat down to the water nose-first. It was the only way to launch at that spot without having to remove the motor and unload the boat.

    I've been out for short evening jaunts with fly gear and it hasn't improved at all for me yet. I'm looking forward to that first cold rain to hopefully pump some life into the shallows and put all those shad down for awhile.

    POP? Shiiiiit too.....Y'all have obviously never played in one of these... http://www.avoninflatables.co.uk/ If you can pop it I'll eat it without a chaser. On behalf of it's very proud owner, Thanks

    Great for drys, swinging soft hackles, and stripping streamers just under the surface. And I use them exclusively for my warmwater FFing if I'm not throwing a sinking head. Not so great for nymphing if you want split shot above the tippet.

    Brook trout and concrete should never co-exist.

    "5 to 10" is an exaggeration, but nevertheless...... Stick around for the weigh-ins and see how often any of those guys take a good check. It might seem like the "closest logical holding spot"...but bass aren't "logical" very often.
  21. fishinwrench
    Well it wouldn't be valuable info to ME because I don't own a gps unit, and all the brushpiles I'm interested in are the ones I can see, or have planted or found myself that just so happen.to be in the area I plan to fish during competition days. Covering some miles to hit a milkrun of someones cached brushpiles just guarantees that it'll have nothing but a pair of dinks on it when you get there. That might be the bread/butter style of a guide who wants to get a client bit, but it is more often than not poor management of time for a tournament angler.
  22. fishinwrench
    That's ok, I'll forget that one and respond to the other One of the first steps to becoming a successful tournament angler is closing yourself off from "dock talk". Chasing leads that you hear about is one of the most repeated surefire ways to waste your practice time. So missing out on forum chatter is actually not a disadvantage at all. Spending time pissing and moaning about closed website, or cliques that won't share info instead of standing on the deck with a rod in your hand....now THAT'S a disadvantage imposed on ones self.
  23. fishinwrench
    That's retarded. Your "local pro" will never make it with that attitude. Maybe he should try golf.
  24. fishinwrench
    Is this Brookie copepod control method WORKING or was this just somebodys idea of a cool thing to try, and nobody knows yet ?
  25. fishinwrench
    It's going to be interesting how they pick a jury on this one.... Have you ever enjoyed floating a river? Yes. "You're out". Are you, or anyone close to you a property owner? Yes. "You're out". I don't believe this will ever go to trial, the lawyer(s) will bleed him dry of all available funds and property before it ever gets to trial and he'll have no option but to agree to a plea bargain.
