Glad to hear you got on some birds on the management areas, I may do a little poking around next week, if anything me and the dog will get some exercise.

Phil must have fixed something - I can now "like" posts.

Looks like I have hit my quota also.

I always wear my Jimmy Choo shoes (with heels) when I go walleye fishing.

Couple of mondo crappie.

Interesting to see you are getting them out over 30 feet to hit the jerker.

Great video! How did you get those overhead shots?

Kind of surprised they did not have a Gizzard Shad color, the LC that is.

I can't fish a weed less head on TR, wish I could, but unless I want to go through a dozen heads a day, it just doesn't work for me.

Some pretty impressive fish.

Wow, almost $3,400 for the V44. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271700298402

Great pics, you may have to change the name to "Brownfest"!

No kidding, I can't believe no one has come to market with a snag less Ned head. Zman makes Shroom heads, but with no weed guard. About the only place you can throw one is on a gravel point.

Here's a link below, the Rapala Jigging Rap. The 7/8 oz gets deep in a hurry, but it has a relatively small profile. You can get more color choices on Ebay, TW is pretty much sold out. Pete Wenners talked a bit about them in a report a couple of weeks ago. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Rapala_Jigging_Rap_Ice_Jig/descpage-RJR.html

Nice!

Congrats WC!

Those are some chunky whites!

Against the law to keep them less that 15" on Table Rock.

BTW, thanks for the report, it does help to know those fish are out there in the 20-25 foot zone.

I guess I should look into one of those fizzers - or just not fish really deep.

Wrench are you Old Plug's spokesman? He's usually the one to give us grief whenever we get too wrapped up in these lure discussions. Plug where are you?

Got out yesterday and did some fishing, my back has been bugging me lately, but it held up fairly well yesterday and I was able to get some fishing in. Tough day, I managed 1/2 dozen with a few decent fish, some came from back in coves and a couple of main lake fish. One jerk bait bass, one deep on a Rapala ice fishing jig, and the rest on a PB&J Ned rig. The one fish I caught on the Rapala came from 40 feet down, it was a 12" spot, the fishes innards were coming out of it's throat, I imagine because of the rapid pressure change. For you guys that regularly catch these deep fish - is that what usually happens when you catch them deep? If it does happen, what do you do to fix it? A couple of bass that came out of the same spot off a steep bank back in a cove, one of them has the winter black spots going.

I've dipped some Warts in Future floor wax to get a shiny coat. Takes 3 dippings, but they dry overnight. The future is good for a day or two of fishing.

I keep sending them resumes for one of those "On the lake lure tester/Sales rep" jobs, but for some reason they never reply back.
