You know the funny thing about this click ("clique") here? Anyone IMO is invited into it as long as you are civil. I've asked some pretty stupid questions and never once have been made fun of or not helped. These guys here are like an extended family and I have seen them invite anyone in who knocked on the door. So wipe your feet and come on in.

After having this post weigh on my mind for some reason these last few days, I believe I understand why- I owe ebbettsguy an apology. Not for sticking up for a friend, but for the way I did it. My reply was uncharacteristically snarky and ill-mannered. Nothing he said was directed at me and I should have kept my big Italian nose out of it. There was nothing good gained from my sarcasm and it contributed nothing to the thread or the site. In fact, the apology should really extend to all the members. You all have let this ol' mountain hick into your hearts and digital homes. In retrospect, I should have respected that more. Bad impulse control on my part. I still support that rascal Kory, but there are far better ways of doing it.
Mea culpa, ebbettsguy and bassfishin.com, mea culpa. |

I was curious about the following list from the first post so I decided to comment on it and it alone. Hopefully I won't inflame anything but I found this part thought provoking. Didn't really like the last one. Kind of insulting. Didn't see the purpose unless something else is going on behind the scenes.
"Then the latest must-have fads: Reels with "go-fast" paint jobs. Got to agree here. Color isn't important but if you have to match your boat, car, and reels to your high school or college colors then enjoy. If it makes you happy go ahead. I wouldn't spend extra for it. Mini Guides. Do they come with a needle threader? Buddy of mine who custom makes rods has been working on this for the past couple years. He's found that he's increased casting distance on his crankbait rods with the smaller guides. Longer cast equals more time at the depth range of the crankbait. Also keeps the bait in front of the fish longer. Important??? You decide. And even more Split-Grips. Does anyone else get those end knobs tangled in their jacket??? Same person in previous question states that cork is expensive and reducing cork reduces weight and cost of the rod. You want to pay the extra $10-20 for cork? Go ahead. As kids weren't we catching fish on garden worms? Wasn't hi-tech a neon coloured rod? I'm involved in two kids derbies each year in which 125 to 300 kids attend each one. Lure of choice is worms. They catch fish and have a great time. Nothing has changed. When were we seduced into believing we needed ten shapes of plastic creatures, in eight colours, swing from $500.00 worth of space-age materials just to do the same job? Need ten shapes? Nope. One or two work for me but then may not work as well for you and the conditions you fish. Eight colors? Sure why not because it's more a confidence thing and I've had experiences in which color made a huge difference between bites and no bites. I've found 4 or 5 that work consistantly for me. But these may not work on your bodies of water. Some may. $500 rod and reel combo? Necessary to fish tournaments and win??? No. Do I own one?? Yes but got it much cheaper than that. Good rod? Yes. Catch fish? Yes. I've got less expensive combos that do as good or better. Okay, the truth is I need all this new stuff because the bass on my waters have a higher grade-point average than most College Freshmen, but I doubt that you do...HAHAHA This I'm curious as to who you are referring to???" |

My post was meant to be satirical.
Satire is supposed to make you laugh, then make you think. Unfortunately jokes are like pigeons. They aren't funny if they go over your head! |

I do believe we are one post away from considering this a water dawg thread.

First [furst] - adj. Being before all others with respect to time, order, rank, importance, etc., used as the ordinal number of one
The FIRST post of the thread. I thought it was a simple concept. BB

Anthony, I think he was referring to the unforgivable sin of mis-spelling "first". God knows, that added so much to the conversation.

Last year he said a red eye'd bait, made by his sponsors ,attracted fish, well what is it can they see red or not. I will tell you this he and his sponsors certainly can see green.
I had a chance to fish Smallies on the Susquehanna using said red eyed baits they did no better or worse than Bill Lewis Traps or Rattlin Rapalas, which go for around .80 less per bait. Hey Ebbetsguy,if you still have any of your Red Eye Shad lipless cranks, here is something interesting that you can check out. Find a clear body of water and cast one only far enough out so you can observe its action in the water. The Red Eye Shad has a very unique action, unlike most other lipless baits that I have fished. When you allow it to fall on slack line, you will notice that instead of flipping on its side and fallling in that manner, that it will actually keep its balance and fall upright. This produces a unique action, I will call it a quiver, I have only seen one other bait that has a similar action to this, and it is the Yamamoto Senko. There was allot of time and effort put into the design of the Red Eye Shad to produce a bait that fell lin this manner. They are not an expensive bait, by modern standards at least. I have bought several on sale for less than 4 dollars, while their finish is not the best I have seen, they do have an action unlike most other baits on the market. Give them another try in another situation, you might find them to be fish catcher for you also. |

Thanks I still have 2 of them, I will give that a shot, trouble is the Susqy is clear about 2 1/2 minutes a year. Have you ever used the Rapala's , pretty cool and they kill em on the Susqy, and i must confess the Red Crawfish is all my friends favorite, I have to be stubborn and use another color, I do okay with it
