If a person doesn't believe in global warming now they never will. 65 degrees is insane!

CHRIS TETRICK IS NOT THE ONE FISHING THE RC STICK.  THAT IS THE 3RD TIME I HAVE SAID THIS, THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH.  Buster fishes the RC for Whites and Whites only.  He fishes a megabass 110 plus 1 for walleye and bass.  I believe the series of RC he fishes is the 90 or a 78 or some number smaller than full size..  Buster is sponsored by BP and gets a very good selection of BP gear with the purchase of his new boat each year. Here is the deal guys. All fishing guides get promotional products of one kind or the other.  If you use them and your clients catch fish, they buy them.  It is a simple as that, purely advertising.

Everyone thinks touring pros get the goodies, but guides for the most part have very good factory deals as they put product in buyers hands every day.   Some guides get paid for using products like the Pro's but most just get product.  Usually a medium amount and anything over the freebee  at manufacture cost.

Boats, Motors, Trailers, Rods and Reels and every kind of fishing gear you can imagine and sometimes other stuff like bottled water and soda.  Anything that an advertiser wants in the publics hands might get into a guide boat, if the guide wishes to have it.

By the way, water temps in the back of Spring Branch today were 65 degree at 3 PM.

Good Luck

I LOVE it!. That's exactly what happens when fisherman get old (Champ), the inability to focus and comprehend. All this time and I thought I was the only guy with this problem. Bill thought it was only a novice issue.

A look at history of Missouri weather. Interesting indeed.

Your right Magic, If I did not love him so much I would just strangle him and steal his fishing buddy.

Guys, I still don't think this weather is headed back very cool.  Water temps will drop back a tad this weekend, but 4 days of 70 plus degree weather and we had 87 yesterday will not cool this pond down much.

I'd tell everyone good luck, but with all the traffic this next week a better close is   Be Careful Out there.

By the way, Thanks Mitch, that is interesting stuff.  Poor Warsaw hottest to coldest.

OK, I misread the original post. And I responded ONE TIME. The other times were people quoting my post. My goodness, I did not mean to start WW III.

The RC STX is a Luck-E-Strike bait, not BPS. I do not fish with BPS lures. Not just because they are junk but because I try not to give Johnny any more of my money than I can help. That's a personal choice that I won't try to rationalize here or try to steer others to join me. My choice. I do buy BPS Excel monofilament line. So I do not think Johnny is the devil himself.

We've batted this RC STX ball around the park enough, I'm sure. But here's my last word on why I fish it. I've caught a lot of fish on it. Won a decent stack of money on it. Are they perfect? Heck no. The hooks suck, so I change them. Every now and then you get one out of the package that won't suspend right. Sometimes they leak. But it goes back to the fact that I've caught fish on them and I like them. I also fish with Megabass, Spro and several others.

I saw a forsythia blooming here yesterday.  Weird.

Careful Champ and Ham, Johnny is a right good capitalist. You all are gonna start sounding like commie liberals like me if you hate on his greedy capitalist ways...

I'm kidding of course.
