  1. I also put wg in most of mine. Without they are short lived.
  2. I don’t know but for the ones that are these might cure that issue. I’m always looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and I haven’t bought a new mold in quite a while.
  3. These don’t have weedguards.
  4. They are touted as being pretty weed less. I lose a lot of Ned heads and want to change that. I’m thinking about getting the mold as soon as Victory gets the hooks back in production. My question is, have any of you used a wide gap Ned head? If so how weed less is it?
  5. So can you use your arms now?
  6. I used to fish down there a lot. I don’t remember ever seeing any markers.
  7. I’ve never seen any or heard of them. It’s only like 23 miles from dam to dam.

    Onions

    I always planted yellow from sets. A 40’ row gave 2 families all we could use during the winter.

    Late winter or early in the spring. You have to be able to work the ground.
  10. That’s good to know. My 1oz jigs are gp and copper. The trailers have a heavy dose of copper flake. I may bottom swim a mogombo grub on one of the big jigs just for kicks. I’m not going to have much time tomorrow. I have to be off the water by 11. BTW: I stopped at the new bait shop in Cape Fair Tuesday. They are getting an impressive stock of good baits. I would rather give them my money than John L.
  11. Well I guess I will have both tied on.
  12. Thanks Mr Bill for inspiring me to drag out the big jigs and go looking for some deeper fish. I made up some 1 oz jigs and some large trailers and started looking around as I headed down the James from Cape Fair. The first few stops didn’t produce anything. We hit a swag on a gravel flat and my neighbor got a nice spot on the large jig. I couldn’t get a bite or so I thought. I switched to a 1/2 oz gp jig with a homemade summer craw (paca craw knockoff) and started getting some action. The bite was extremely light. Several times just picking up the bait we would find one on. We only boated about 10 fish mostly spots. No other deeper places produced. I guess I need to drag out my topo maps and do some more studying. I’m guessing that they were around 20’ deep since we were mostly in 30’. I plan to look for more places Thursday morning.
  13. Osage bluff had a bunkhouse but it wasn’t floating.
  14. Deer move through the field behind our house quite often. I see their poop in the back yard once in a while but this year is the first time I’ve had tracks around the tomatoes. I hope that they don’t come back in the spring and like asparagus.
  15. We have deer tracks around the tomatoes but I don’t think they have been able to get to them because the cages that I have around them.
  16. That is different from what I have experienced. I’ve been using them for a very long time and never had any issues. I have always received top notch work and support.
  17. I’ve thrown a double fluke but never seen anything like that before.

    Blister beetles?

    This topic has been derailed, crashed and burned. However, in case any of you are wondering about the beetles the spoapy solution sprayed directly on them seems to have worked. I only found 1 today.
  19. We decided to make an early trip before it got to the mid 90s. There were no rigs on the ramp. Did a bit of top water with no bites. Moved up the James above 15. Didn’t use anything but Ned and shaky. Ned was a no go but shaky produced 13 in a little over 3 hours. When the sweat began the boat headed for the trailer.

    Blister beetles?

    I have no idea what you are talking about. I don’t follow everything MDC does like you seem to do.
  21. Wow you wore the hooks off your bait. That’s some kind of catching.

    Blister beetles?

    You can have all of them you want to pick.

    Blister beetles?

    So you aren’t offering any advice on this.
  24. We do all have 52 cards in our decks. Some have a bunch of jokers.
