  1. Yep it is now 2014, how time flies! Happy new year!
  2. And if you make the mistake of subscribing to B.A.S.S. magazine, they'll call you every two weeks to try and get you to extend your subscription. We also had Ike rocket his boat into the trees on the bank last year. Make sure you have a good life jacket.
  3. Congrats, the jerk bait fish are hard to come by so far - and it looks like it made that youngster happy, good job!
  4. Good luck, I may get out myself one more day before the cold front hits us, but I'll be out of Big M.
  5. Fished from 10:00 to 3:00 PM, caught 5 bass, all on the Green Pumpkin tube. Real light biters. Did catch this Mean mouth that was just a hair shy of 3 lbs. on my Boga. Biggest Mean I've caught.
  6. Welcome!
  7. HAHA, I know what you mean. One report from abkeenan that he killed 'em this spring on these things and I'll have 1/2 dozen on order.
  8. Live Target Bait ball lures in stock. Tempting, but I've got so many jerk baits and cranks already. Maybe one of you guys will buy some and let us know if they work. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Koppers_Live_Target_Glass_Minnow_Baitball_Jerkbait/descpage-KGLAMIN.html#multiview
  9. X2.
  10. How much do those crawgrubbers weigh? They look killer for bass.
  11. Welcome!
  12. That creek bed looks like a potential bass highway.
  13. Pickerel were very common in New England when I lived there, they are very good eating, but as mentioned above, very boney. Ham needs one of those for his 52 species quest.
  14. If they eat squirrels I would be happy to have a few around my house. There's probably some out there, I just haven't seen them. I'm not a quail biologist, but the ones I have talked to all agree it's a habitat issue, not predation.
  15. I think PowerDive put a curse on me. Ever since he said he could "predict" how many bass I would catch, I've been catching around 8 bass per day at the Big M. Yesterday I fished and caught....8 bass...This is getting spooky. I need to get over and fish Swepco, I figure that if I go fish a lake that does not contain walleye, I can remove the Curse of PowerDive. Anyway, 8 bass all on Tubes, one nice 17" smallie, the rest were 12-16" fish. There was a lot of other bassers out there yesterday - I haven't seen that many boats out on the lake since June. Water temp 43-45.
  16. Looks like you had a good time, good to see that the 10 yo boy with that big smile!
  17. Thanks for posting that link.

    I've heard this same story - must be true.
  19. Great day Bill glad to see you whackin 'em!
  20. I did not go out yesterday, had some stuff to do around the house, but I think I will go today. Need to take advantage of the last of this warm weather.
  21. On a cold winters day, you hardly ever see anyone on the Big M dock. I never fish it, but have been sorely tempted.
  22. He just needed another 1/2 inch and I might have kept him.
  23. Pretty much what you're saying, except 3/8 oz bullet weight and a Tube. Launched at Big M. Sounds like you have a nasty cold - get well soon!
  24. Just finished another library book - "Shot All to Hell - Jesse James, The Northfield Raid" - Mark Lee Gardner. Interesting read if you like reading about western outlaw history. Fairly well written, it goes into great detail, too much in my opinion, about the post Northfield raid posse chase of the James and Youngers.
