  1. Great post. I start using that technique. Most of the time a just cut the line and retie
  2. I agree with Champ. I hired Bill last year, and I feel much more confident now than ever. They can flat out fish and show you little things that reap big benefits
  3. Use a barrel swivel above your bait (about 16-18 inches)
  4. Had an awesome trip with Bill last summer, and we are hooking up again in March. Great fun, great information, great fisherman
  5. I agree with you all about the issue. I watched an episode of Bass Pro's fishing show two weeks ago, and Rick Clunn touched on the same subject. We need to show eachother proper etiquette. Makes the experience that much more enjoyable. Love of the sport and the fish should drive us, not big rigs and money
  6. I just started throwing them last season and I have done well with the Wake bait. I use the Copper Green and Purple Perch. I have been using the 1.5 and 2.5 models
  7. I have the same addiction! Not a bad addiction though.
  8. Anyone using one of the Originals or Lowriders for Drop Shotting? What model would you recommend?
  9. I am looking to unload two of my bass rods. Both are from the Cabelas Technique series. I purchased both about 3 years ago for $100 per rod. They are still in great shape with normal wear. Spinning Rod TXS IX 6'3 8-14lb 1/4-5/8oz Drop Shot Casting Rod TXS XVII 6'6 10-17lb 1/4-3/4 Spinnerbait I would like to sell each for $50 shipping included or both for $80 shipping included. PM me if you are interested. They are also on Ebay under "webanga"
  10. Here is the link to the "Trade Up" Program http://www.falconrods.com/tradeup.html
  11. Bill, Better clear it up before the weekend of March 20th...LOL!!!!
  12. Took advantage of the "Trade Up Program" that Falcon is offering. Sent two rods last Friday, and my new rods arrived today. Amazing customer service. I will be a Falcon for good!!! High recommend their product to anyone
  13. Here is my list of goodies for this year... Zoom finesse worms (watermelon-red) 1/8 and 3/16 tru tungsten ikey heads Zoom cenipede (watermelon-red) 3/8 oz egg sinker and barrel swivel Wiggle Warts (any craw pattern) War Eagle Spinner baits (white purple--silver-gold blades) Super Spooks LC Wake Baits 2.5 1/2 and 5/8 oz Football Jigs (PBJ and Watermelon Candy)--matching trailer white Zoom Fluke Drop Shot gear (Meatheads and Chompers) That should cover it for me....I always bring more...not sure why?
  14. Great job! Sitting here in KC and telling my wife how jealous I am. Can't wait till March!!!
  15. I have been shopping a lot trying to deal with the "Cabin Fever" issue right now, and I have to ask a question to all my fellow anglers. I have noticed that the pre-Rapala Warts are going for $10-15 a piece. What makes them so much better than the Rapala models? Why are they so coveted?
  16. Happy New Year! I am looking to up grade my front electronics, but I am on a limited budget. So, I figured someone is bound to be up grading and looking to unload a 500 or 700 series color fish finder. Let me know if any one is looking to sell a unit this winter. Dave
  17. My goals are... 1. Learn more about electronics. 2. Practice more drop shotting. 3. Learn more about fishing the jerkbait in the early spring
  18. That is pretty cool. Looking forward to being back down in the spring. Why were we not able to see your line as a long perpendicular line?
  19. Made it down today. What a great day on the river!!! I caught about 18-20 "stockers". Nothing big, but still a lot of fun. Best fly was a thread jig in olive green. Also caught a couple on a Bunny bug and sowbug.
  20. I was conned into shopping...fishing tomorrow. How was the river today?
  21. I perfer Jewel Football for dragging (1/2 and 5/8) and I like Eakins for pitching in shallow and around docks. I match them up with Chomper twin tails. Best of both worlds Jewel and Chomper!
  22. It's been quite on here. Anyone fishing? Are they pushing water?
  23. Bill, that was a great post. Your comments are educational to say the least. I agree about the baits. I have Rouges, Custom rouges (by Dale Sellars), McSticks, and X-Raps. I feel it is all about Location Location Location, and Timing, Timing, Timing! I am excited about the prospect of hooking up for a "stick" day with you. I love fishing the bait and I want to learn more. Dave
  24. I have a Wart question. While fishing last weekend, I was throwing a wart and it started spinning in a circle as it was being retrieved. What causes this? Can it be tuned to run correctly?
