Good news -- thanks for posting.

I strongly suggest you hook up with some one who is already a good bow hunter. Bow hunting is a whole bunch harder than modern firearms. With a rifle, or certain pistols, you don't have to get very close to the animal. With a bow you have to get really close. That takes a lot of skill and...

One more thing. Please get your hands on a copy of the documentary American Outrage. It shows exactly how sneaky, underhanded, and brutal the BLM is. It is not the innocuous agency you probably think it is.

I don't think this has anything to do with litter, or available funding, or anything else along those lines. This is a blatant effort to sneak additional gun control through the back door. In some respects gun control is important. i personally I don't want the seriously mentally ill or...

As a food fish smallmouth bass rank right up there with perch and walleye. The meat is extremely delicate, so you have to be careful not to over power it with your seasonings. They are also relatively difficult to filet. There are several good videos on You Tube that show good methods. I...

Okay -- this is a little off topic, but the biggest "pain in the a$$" at my favorite smallie spot are the sunfish. They hit anything, and that includes baits that are bigger than they are! Sometimes if you're swimming a good size grub, these little 4" sunfish get ahold of the tail, and hang on...

I don't put much effort into fishing for large mouth, so when I talk bass I'm talking smallies. I don't have a "go to" bait. If you're targeting small mouth in a spot that is normally a good spot, and they're not hitting basic stuff that usually works, you haven't found the fish. My "go to...

I keep plenty of fish because we enjoy eating them. If you haven't eaten small mouth filets fried up with bacon, onions, and garlic -- well sir -- you're missing one of Mother Nature's finest delicacies! However, I do not keep babies! I see things that really irritate me sometimes. Like the...

There's no logical reason for my aversion to carp. For some reason they creep me out, but I have no idea what's behind that.

Thanks for the info guys. The bag limit probably has a lot to do with the state records. Those bass actually get a chance to grow up!

I'v never fished Hagg much. It's a quite a bit outside my normal travel patterns, but it's really not the far out of my way. It takes me about an hour to get there. I'm planning to learn more about Hagg, and probably fish there more. I love the fact that it produced more than one state...

Okay -- I have to say something but do not take it personally. It's just my opinion. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why anyone would catch a carp on purpose. I can't stand the sight of them. If I accidentally catch one, I cut the line! If I knew a way to poison carp without...

They work because the stink so good! Smell one sometime. They just have the sort of stink that tells me a fish will like this.

Other than a couple of power eggs on a small snelled hook of some kind, I also like to place one power egg just above the hook when finessing a night crawler along the bottom. It adds a little color and helps the crawler float. They're not as buoyant as a lil corkie but more buoyant than just...

I like the bright orange with sparkles in it. I also like the orange and yellow power eggs.
