Great stuff Bill, thank you!

I only name the meanies. 176, there are plenty of untapped fish up the White river channel, I'm just a novice at sore-lipping the fish compared to some of the retired guys that live on the lake up there.

Good stuff Cheese, I could not get a bite on a JB the other day, seems like the fish are eating different stuff depending based on what part of the lake, or are just changing up every day. Or, could be that I stink at jerk baiting.

That lure comes with it's own theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hce74cEAAaE

Pretty much my philosophy. I fish for bites, 99% of the bites won't be bigguns, but that is fine.

There is.

Aarch, I can usually get about 2 years out of lead acid batteries for my trolling motor (stop and go bass fishing stuff), could be that trolling breaks them down quicker if you're running them until they die every time out.

I've been in the batteries test good, but are run down situation before myself. You just have to insist to them that they are NOT holding a charge for long, and ask for the warranty to apply, I'm thinking it probably pro-rated if it is like most battery warranties.

Got out late in the morning, launched around 10 AM, had to wait for temps to get up near 40 before exposing my delicate self to the outdoors. Fishing was pretty decent today from a quantity standpoint. Caught 25 total, with only 4 of those being keeper sized. Biggest was a 17" smallie. Most fish were relatively deep, 20 FOW on the bottom was the sweet spot, with a few in closer and a few deeper. About 2/3 of the fish came on a 1/8 oz Ned, the other third on a T-rigged tube. Dragging both slowly on the bottom. A few fish came up and bit on the drop. Chunk rocks banks, rocky points, bluff ends, and docks was where I got most of my bites. Must have been a tourney out of Viney today, about 15 rigs in the Viney lot. Water temp 51-53, water is stained, maybe 5 - 10 feet of viz.

It's hard to get one by us.

That hat looks nicer than Eddie's.

Thanks, I'll book mark it.

Sounds about right, probably will be some more coming in later, and a few may drop out. I'm thinking we'll end up with around 30.

And now this (from Bass Blaster).

Dude, that was me and a couple of my buds, and the only thing we were smoking were some of those vapor cigarettes.

I'm going to fish Bull one of these days, I'd fish it but it's a bit of a haul from here. I'm just going to have to find someplace to stay and do a multi-day trip.

Not a bad guy to have hitting 6 or 7. They're using the KC model, good, but not great hitters up and down the lineup. Speed, defence, and have a bunch of live arms in the bullpen. It's going to be fun watching the Cubs and Cards compete.

Accuweather is predicting high temps in the 60's on Jan. 1. Might have to rename it the Panda Bear.

I was going to say that you can still buy Daiwa at Cabelas, but then remembered that JM is rumored to be buying Cabelas. Took a quick look at the BPS Daiwa reel selection and it ain't much of a selection.

I don't paint lures, but just got an email about this free web presentation and thought I would post the link for you painters. http://luremakingclassroom.com/custom-lure-painting/?ap_id=lpo

No more minimum length on spots.

Excellent! Good pics and report.

I don't have any topic in mind, I haven't been bass fishing in a couple of weeks. The Chat tab is no longer on the top toolbar, click on "Browse" on the toolbar and you will then see the "Chat" tab.

Well with the new regs in effect on Beaver, you can say, with 100% honesty, that you caught 33 keepers. Water level is 1124 and still rising, must of been a lot of water dumped into the tribs.
