And once closed, that's it - they'll never re-open. At least as a COE park.

I haven't fished a 110 + 1 myself. But in the past, sometimes you find a few fish on a spot that eat the shallower bait like a 110, you can go back with a deeper bait and pick some more up. I like McRips and Pointer DD's and XD's.

Should be more to follow, released once a week.

Catch a 100 bass on a lure makes it worth $24.

Some cold water fishing on Guntersville. Nicely done video, I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. http://www.bassmaster.com/video/projectz

Does Basspro carry those baskets?

Add Rapala Shad Raps, size 5 to the list of white bass catchers. I haven't tried them on whites, but I bet the white marabou Zig Jigs would smoke them.

Nice one!

Sorry to hear the fish are still not cooperating. Seems to be it's a-rig or die right now. I'm going to see if I can make it through the winter without throwing the rig (pretty easy to do when you can't fish because of the weather). But I don't fish tourneys. From what I can tell, if you want to win a tourney you have to throw the rig.

Very nice web site, good job!

I think it was 3 years ago, AGC stocked some cats in the Buffalo. It was an effort to improve the population. Haven't heard anything more since then.

There's an annual tournament in Texas - can't remember the name, it's held at Lake Conroe outside of Houston, made up of pros from the FLW and Elite series. The lake has a 1 fish only regulation and it's a slot limit, so if they get one that's in the slot they'll keep it to show at the weigh-in, but all others are weighed and released. They have a marshal on board that verifies the weight with the pro. Since the tourney is televised they have some video on some of the boats, but it is not there as a weight verification tool. The format seems to work well, and I don' see why it could not be used on the bigger tournaments where you have plenty of volunteers to be marshals.

That looks deadly..

I'm hoping you're right. I hate those things.

First time I've heard about that "secret" provision. They could have a great product, but still be a poorly run company. And that info won't be public until after the IPO. Oh well.

Saw the scores in the paper and looks like Mizou lost to Ol' Miss. I haven't seen Miss. play but they must have a fairly decent team. It seems no one can emerge from that mid-tier of SEC teams to challenge Kentucky and Florida.

Yep that's my problem - I'm not fishing! But it looks like later this week I may have a chance to get out.

I missed that one, thanks for posting!

This is a symptom of severe cabin fever.

Some nice chunks there, thanks for the report.

I never have been a fan of highly publicized initial offerings. The big brokerage firms get in at the offering price, buy up all the stock and then sell it to the public at a huge mark-up. I like Go-Pros products but don't know enough about their financial situation to make any kind of prediction on how it does.

Those are big ones!

Yeah this weather stinks. I am also sorting/re-arranging/organizing lures and tackle.

I bet Shaw Grigsby was wishing he had a net when he got that 5+ lb. smallie to the boat only to see it pull off the hook. Not that he would have caught KVD anyway.

Come on spring time!
