I'll never forget that and would try to talk my dad into trolling from spot to spot instead of motoring. I wonder if that bait would work today casting like any other cb? Champ188 1

Metal lipped cranks do not work. At all. Period. Especially the five I ordered earlier today. ? Quillback, Hughesy, vernon and 3 others 6

Awesome, my dad taught me way back that the hot n tot with the metal bill was a key! He explained to me that the different sound metal makes contacting rocks and wood "banging" was so different than plastic lipped baits was the key ingredient! He went on to explain that the bass become conditiononed to the plastic sound and that the metal sound was different and unique thus triggering bites. Main reason we casted tots and trolled hellbenders! vernon, Quillback and Champ188 3

I do pay attention not to intentionally scratch my boat or cause bumps and bruises. Usually this doesn't happen to me on the rock but I often find my self rubbing up against a dock or cables at lake of the ozarks. I try to wipe my boat down and wax it quite frequently. I certainly did not mean to offend anyone. Sorry if I did. No, no, no - not at all! No apologies necessary. You have to try WAY harder than that to pizz me off! I'm proud to say that I outgrew any sensitivity issues quite a few years ago. I've just been cursed/blessed all my life by being quite anal when it comes to taking care of my stuff and I've taken plenty of grief for it believe me! In fact, regardless of the intent of the accuser, I always take it as a compliment. Some would call that "denial" but whatever! One of the reasons that I almost exclusively fish Table Rock (actually there's a LOT of reasons) is that it's easy on my boat. I'll venture to Truman or LOZ once or twice a year but I'll typically be a nervous wreck the entire time worrying about putting a gouge in the side of the boat. A pitiful affliction but it is what it is I guess! big c, Champ188 and crazy4fishin 3 "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."

Isn't Nebraska in the Atlantic 10 or something nowadays? I do kind of remember them though. Didn't they have that Turner Gill guy that ended up being a great coach for a while at Kansas? dtrs5kprs 1 "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."
