    Review of Lund's New Bass Boat

    The Nitro XS looks mighty good for a metal hull boat. Haven't ridden in or driven one just saying it looks like it might stack up pretty good against the Xpress maybe.

    One Lure Only

    I like all the lures mentioned but just for fun mine will be a green Senko hooked whacky or just right at tip of nose for a lot of action when reeled at different speeds. That should work on any water from the ocean to any lake, what'a think?

    Why Bass Boat Magazine

    To find a site that is well done by some good old boys who think a lot like i do don't come cheap. I've fished a lot of tournaments with folks from other states and we all get in our trousers the same, one leg at a time, LOL......We've got some tricks that we can pass on that help others and...

    The use of high-tech gadgets diminishes our fishing skills. Yes/No?

    Heh b2r, nice post about Roland. I've got one that nobody might believe. Roland had a tournament coming up on Beaver Lake, Arkansas and fished with a newspaper reporter who happened to be quite a sports reporter, don't quite remember his name now but anyway i don't think he would make up a...

    The use of high-tech gadgets diminishes our fishing skills. Yes/No?

    A very good question CARiD, one that won't be answered easily. I'am old enough to have seen really most it coming out of the labs. From all the modern boats, clothes, electronics, etc. I can't differ with any of you on any of your comments but i especially like the ones about just how important...

    Top Ranger Executives Leave

    Maybe Johnny Morris is unethical or maybes he's not, as Machiavelli & Sun Tzu were, might be debatable, but i wouldn't take up the nay side for anything. Like the changing language we all use business ethics that tend to change like the weather most of the times. The laws can barely keep up with...

    Top Ranger Executives Leave

    You can believe the "top exec's" just didn't walk away of their own volition, maybe one of them, but not all. You can only believe they were bought out per Johnny Morris at the bottom dollar price he could get by with and that figure will not be an available one. Johnny wants to run everything...

    Review of Lund's New Bass Boat

    What do you think this rocket would cost? I took just a quick look and came up with over $35,000. I'd rather have a comparable used fiberglas boat, but i can see the value in a rig like the Lund. Looks like the construction is great, design is quality and should fit about any kind of fishing a...

    2016 Bass Boats

    Listen guys sorry to get off of topic but i can't legally drive in Mo. for 6 months after passing out and have the Pacemaker of course, and i'd almost trade my Triton for a darned old lifeboat, if it'd float, thats how much i love to fish. Anyway i'am gonna just have to wish you folks a happy...

    2016 Bass Boats

    There's a lot of good points made here about bass boats/2016, etc.......Everyone has there own design in mind when they buy a boat, even when the purse is low and there's not much room to worry about. If you're going to fish tournaments on large lakes you need a boat that cracks 70 mph, carries...

    Not back yet....!!!

    Want to say hi to all the guys that i have talked to over the last years and explain that i haven't gotten mad at them or anything like that, which may not make a darn bit of difference ha, ha, but my heart failure has become a little harder to combat. I just recently got home with my new...

    A little Florida Everglades fun...

    Those pics make my arms start to 'twitch' a lot. The water temp will have to drop a little more on the Rock for the Zara to start being an all day lure. I've had some of the best days in the fall on the Rock using nothing but a shad colored Zara. I've had 5 bass before that went between 25-30...

    Texting and Fishing

    You could always ask, politely of course, if they would like to go back to where the truck and trailer was parked and text there while guarding the truck and trailer......LOL And then there's another angle, pull out your phone and text them and ask if they would like to get the net going...

    Texting and Fishing

    The first thing i would ask my co-partner once he had a let-up on the texting is this::: NOW LETS SEE IF YOU CAN WALK ON THE WATER! YOU BETTER BE TEXTING SOMEONE TO FIND OUT WHERE THEY'RE BITIN'

    From the Large Bass Boat site...Not us...

    I guess i see your point kipp, it was kinda grin worthy, but i didn't do much laughing. There are way to many folks who would 'parrot' that kind of talk and i'am not sure we oughta give them a reminder notice, ha, ha......i'am all for the freedom of speech in all kinds of shapes and forms, i'am...

    Ned Rig

    If thats the only and best way you can do it i applaud you, some folks just aren't that easy going. For myself at this point in my life i would go right along with you and if that kind of thing happened i would take a hike and do what was necessary to as you say "enjoy fishing again". Points...

    Something New!

    A lot of the time you can check where the reel is made and the parts are all similar nowadays, the design and how they are put together are the big point. I'am using the Lew's now and they're very good but if you don't keep them maintenanced they won't perform any better that anything else. I...

    Something New!

    Don't think i've ever tried the Pflueger Trions, how old are they? I've used some very old Pflueger reels but i'am sure you're not talking about one of the old timers. I do have a Pflueger spin cast and i don't like it all that much, the spool design doesn't lend itself to very good spin...

    Generally, if some minority members are disruptive enough there should be corrective action taken. Its no fun for anyone to have to put up with members who just don't want to conform to the norm. I've seen them in some of the clubs i've been a member of and as L3 mentioned its not a pretty sight...
