  1. Skeeter. They get pinched for that every weekend here on LOZ. I was sitting on my deck the other night and this boat was coming along with a row of green lights on the side. There was a tall white anchor light light standing up in back . I was also trying to figure out there the red were. he turned and then I could see his bow running light and the white light was in the proper place. It turns. put this idiot had a sting of green lights hanging on his right side and another big string red ones hanging on the left. We have another guy who regularly boats at night on the weekends and turns on 4 FOUR docking lights he has mounted on his bow of his pontoon. It is so bright the water shins for a long ways ahead. It will light up other boats like day. You cannot even see any of his running lights but they are on. I have seen him turn off the others Its actually blinding. I was told by someone he is really scared out there at night. So he says he needs those lights.
  2. Those. are very true words. That is exactly what I do. Since the way I rig mine looks more like some. sort of cat fish setup most people do bot know what I am doing and thats fine with me. There is a time and a place for all systems. And I imagine the way it is fished TR is entirely different from the way I fish it up here. My own way looks more like flipping that drop shoting.
  3. Finally seen a water patrol boat last evening late. We had a drowning here again Friday evening in Party Cove. The guy drowned around 5:30 and the water patrol did not arrive until 2 hrs later. At least that is what was on the early news release. Might be messed up.
  4. The water patrol has been strangely absent in my area of LOZ as well since last wednesday. I remember wrench saying he heard the owner of CoCo Nut was complaining and threatening to sue because the patrol was hurting his business. I am beginning to think that he has political pull as well and the patrol has been told to lay off. People will take it into there own hands again. I am sure Bill remembers a instant or two of people shooting boats from the bank around here. Imagine what someone could do now days with a state of the art sniper rifle.
  5. Champ----- there you go agood explanation there is really nothing new to it. T here though will be fishing. it on50 lb test braid. There just seems to be so much we do not understand.
  6. Bill i agree with it being a threat but what you do to defend yourself is what I am thinking about. Being a former officier of the law I am sure you know how murky that can be
  7. A Friend of mine owns a tackle shop. I was just in there and he showed me a catalog of the 2015 line of stuff Rapala is going to introduce. There is bait in there that wobbles like a Zara spook underwater. That really sounds like something different. Do not confuse it with a wake bait. It is nothing like that.
  8. It depends on your interpretation of what a threat is versus what the court says it is.
  9. Well Bill you patrolled up here. you know what its like. From what I am seeing posted you all down there will catch up with us up here. I will no go out on this lake on weekends and have doubts about some evenings during the week. I think some of them. are blind. some SB wanted direction from me last week one evening and by the time i turned around and knew he was there he was angry with me for ignoring him as were some of the people in his boat. What is strange about it is on both sides of my boat just in back of the numbers in 2" bright orange bold letters are the ward DEAF.
  10. "T" Just about the answer I would expect. i think you need to to unwrap that line from your head and learn something about lines.
  11. Hows this sound ??. How about a swivel and a few inches below that a 03 or 04 hook that about 16 inches below that a 1/2 oz bell sinker all with a magnum trick worm on it. All fished on 12 lb test line. ??????
  12. You people and 50 lb braids. What exactly does that accomplish.
  13. I am tooooooo old for worring about all the new stuff. If it is a worm or jig it might catch my interest. but rarely. If I cannot make them bite on plastics I will fish for something else. Throughout most the season however I csn keep up pretty well woth my plastics. You could fill a book with all the things you can do with these two things. Extremely versite lures.
  14. Champ. can you imagine the kind of thing could happen to your boat up here fishing docks. Ny big alumTarga is very safe boat for up here but it has many scratches and a few dents from getting trapped between dock by wakes.
  15. WAYNE------ Any tips on how to get a 76. yr old to adjust his fishing approach????? That would be helpful at this time.
  16. NO But with multiple Tournaments by armatures and multiple people flocking there to bass fish YEs it is possible.
  17. Champ. I have nothing against a boat or tackle. That stuff does not bother me. If they can afford it more power to them.I will be honest however and say I think a lot of it is foolish keeping up with the Jone's. What I do not like are those who act like they think they are above you. Of course that is what seems to drive our society now days anywayand it is a destructive trait. .
  18. You know you know him . Nome of us do. I would be reluctant to tell you how to parent. Just take him and let him fish. make it a pleasant experience o matter if you catch something or not. Being with you is what it is really all about.
  19. I faintly remember them but have no idea what they were like.
  20. Wremch----- Glad you brought that up about the ring worm. I have neglected it thus far in the current bass situation. I think I will put one on next time I go out. Although I never cared about that thin neck on the head, it is truly one of the better worms ever made. It sinks slow and can be put through extreme actions with just a small pop. They were a big part of that fabulous year I had a ;few years ago. I bought to 200 a the old tackle shop on O and 5. Think i still got 50 or 60. They are still being made. I had the makers web site for awhile then did not order any.
  21. there is a ways a bite up the river. Way to far for me to go.
  22. WOW 91/2 ring worms. That was one my favorites. I still have a couple bags of blue and tequila sunrise in my locker. I dig them out every now and then. You can make them things make a shaky tail look stiff.
  23. They said the water was murky. thats why I wonder. Yeah you cam follow the bobbles. That was my first though. But in her state of mind that may not had registered. Water does strange things to you. I had a bit of naval survival training that required you get into a seat in a airplane cockpit mock up fully strapped in. The device was on a slide above a swimming pool. You slide down and the thing turned over in the water. you would be surprised how many guys got disorientated and had to go right up there and do it again till they got it right. Some never did. Water will make you panic.
  24. I have never ever heard of a home owner spraying any type of herbicide on a bank. It would be easy thing for others to see and I can guarantee you somebody would report it. That would be a giant fine and jail. The drawdown does the job by itself. Yeah it is a real strange season alright. 4 at4lbs and one 5 puts me way off course. I am fishing right in those big boys faces and keep catching fat 13 and 14inch fish. Last nite we got 6 in 3 1/2 hours. no dinks all 13-14 inch fish plus a keeper and one about 3. The whole bunch came out of a ares about 100 yrds long in a matter of a 1/2 hr. The area they came from is not a good spot most years. I was there out of some level of desperation.
