Finally got to meet Stefani Schaefer

Thank you for stopping by and saying "Hello". 

Such a surprise!

Rain Harvesting system + eReplacementParts.com Contest = GO N GREEN!

Saw this contest from eReplacementParts.com . It would be great if I could get the system built to take another step into "Green World".

Wish me luck! Vote for me at the eReplacementsParts.com Contest

Weedless frog = 50% "fish on"

Gee oh man.  Today I got a chance to really experiment with my weedless frog in the lake.  Our pond has a lot of sludge right not floating on top.  There are many openings though to work a frog through. The frog was KILLING in the "strike" category but not so much in the "fish on" category. I read a bunch of articles about techniques and learned much from them. My weedless frog's hook gate was not opening though after the strike... Waiting 2 seconds and then setting the hook. I later read that one bass master said if he landed 50% of the strikes he would leave the lake happy. Well,  it's hard for me to do that. When the lake is jammin' I can land a dozen 12 inch bass in about 30mins using a Powerbait . You can see how this is hard for me.

But Daddy, I want the new Gmail Inbox NOW!

Zing! Powerbait!

Switched out the salamander with a white Powerbait minnow. Pulled this beauty out. Broke my 5lb line at the end but I grabbed him in the mud.

Note to self:

Always bring pliers when fishing with treble hooks... And bring different band aids.

My girlfriend asked me "are the fish going to catch on to you?"

Rain doesn't scare real fisherman.

The bass were very active today. Light rain and about 56 degrees.
