 Try tru-turn, they have a good selection, and are great hooks

David if I could get your name an address one more time. Last time I wrote it down but who knows what I did with it when I cleaned off my computer desk. 

Hey David, No Family there that I am aware of. My people immigrated to south central Missouri, and I was born in Iowa. I think they made a wrong turn when the boat landed. lol Living here in Georgia now and loving it!

THANKS DAVE,KEEP A TIGHT LINE.

About that rio,Yes they are cichlids and they get pretty big.The older males get these huge foreheads.

Yes they do. i haven't yet, but I plan to eat some this year.

That was funny:)Took alot of pictures that day at the river with the settings on negative and sketch.

Exactly,plus i had a little time between the bites that day:(

David...might not get the Poly Wogz pics up tonight...you can check em out at stankxbaitco.com on the net. One inch long with a super thin 'nail tail' taper. Good baits!

Thanks for the invite, David...let's catch some fish!

You're right...they don't look like much! But I have had them in my arsenal for about a year now. I fish them below a small pear-shaped bobber on 2 or 4 lb test UL spinning gear. Twitch-twitch, pause, twitch, pause, twitch -twitch-twitch, pause....something like that.

They have a needle thin tail, that I believe has action beyond some of the other brands out there. Plus, they have a very strong, garlic odor..'infused with CB's Hawg Sauce'...as is advertised. I am not a huge fan of plastics, with my own hairjigs and all. But yesterday they actually outfished live worms on a fairly tough bite. Fish em on 1/32 oz jigheads or 1/64. I like 1/32nd's.

Hope this helps...Jim

David...I use a fixed, or attached float, for about 95% of my float fishing options, including the Poly Wogz. There are times when I have found some plastics that the fish haven't seen, and they seem to respond to them more than what is currently out there...even in some of the lightly fished ponds I go to. Still, like yourself, I find that a can of worms is hard to beat in the panfish world, either as a whole bait on a fine wire hook or as a tipping, attractive agent. Some things in nature you just can't improve on for the day in, day out success.

Jim touches on something that I firmly believe in...throw something different now and then! Especially in situations where the fish are pressured. Non-pressured fish will hit a lot more stuff, especially this time of year, but wary fish like to see something they haven't before......take it from someone who fishes the same pond every night, and practices catch and release......you need to mix it up, in order to turn the action up!

HEY DAVID,
I'M going to give a holler at young Master Jacob and see if I can't get him to make a short video of the BARNEY SHUFFLE and how to do it. I showed it to him and his dad last week and they really liked it and caught some nice fish doing it.
TOOTY

Nothing wrong with that...worms flat-out catch fish!

Hi David, Thanks for the shoutout. Wishing you many beautiful vibrations.  Terry Wilson

David, I'm not sure what a fly swap entails......

http://www.washingtonflyfishing.com/forum/index.php?threads/how-a-f... hope this gives you some kind of idea. 1st you have to find out how many are interested so everybody knows how many flies to tie. After you know how many are interested they tie the flies and send them to who ever is heading this thing up with a couple dollars for shipping. Then after all the flies are received they are divide and shipped. I never found out who headed it up last year still working on it.

Thanks David, all is well here. We were spared most of the violent stuff....not so fortunate just a few miles away however. My thoughts are with those folks.

David' sorry ,will not have the time for the swap,have barely fished this year due to work and some other stuff.hope someone can start one after the holidays .thanks for the invite tho

would be glad to get in on the next one ,dont want to just do it in a rush and do sloppy work thanks

So..where's the latest photo of the McScruffy looking handsome guy?

McScruff if I wanted instant gratification I would go to the bass pro store otherwise I would buy them online: Jannsnetcraft, cabelas, etc. I bought hard foam popper kits twice at the bass pro but thought they were a little expensive. but they do come with the matching kink shank hook.

eric-- sounds like you might be close to Alabama point!  I have fished there many times!  real close to mobile; also close to pensocala!   hey david;; yep- I have worked and lived all over florida to!  from the north to the south!  st.pete; tampa; Miami;; the flordia keys; Clewiston; hommiassa springs;  you name it!  I helped to build the nuclear plant there at crystal river;; and the one at ft. pyrce!  use to be fun going along alligator alley-- at NIGHT!!  also built some beer tanks there at bush gardens!!   not to many places I have not been to in florida!

Yes Carl, I'm just east of Pensacola, maybe 30-45 minutes depending on how you drive. And my future better half actually lives just north of Mobile in Satsuma. I drove a truck for about 14 years and have been all over Florida myself. But between the Fed.s and my health, I had to stop driving. I will find out this coming Tuesday If My VA check starts hitting the bank like it should and that will help a lot. Then maybe in about a month or so I can afford to get to the lake. Unfortuneatly, no money, no fishing. but everything will start turning for the better real soon. Any way wont be long and I'll be back at the water.

hope so eric!  no fishing is no fun buddy!  I took off fishing for a few years to set myself up for my retirement.  now I have all the time I need!  yep-- lived and worked in mobile to!!  I usually stayed in Theodore part of mobile;; tryied to stay away from 8 mile area.  in theordore;; I was not far from the grayhound dog track; just across the miss. line.  at dauphin island-- I helped to build several different types of tanks there-- some flat bottoms;; and elevated watertowers..

Yep, I will agree with the no fishing no fun part. I'm pretty much just getting back on my feet, literally. Recovering from surgery for the second bout with cancer. First time got my colon or 90% of it anyway, and this time got a third of my left kidney. Both times showed they got all of the cancer out. They found the tumer on the kidney by pure accident doing the follow up MRI for the colon surgery. Now it's just getting my stamina back. Being on the pure oxygen for as long as they had me this time is really taking it's toll. So I'm taking it slow. Went back to my part time work for about 3-5 hours for just one day a week helps, but man I come home and it seems every part of my body hurts....Lost everything to the Fed.'s out in Texas and my sister came to the rescue and got me back here with her family till I get back on my feet again, then I'm moving over to Mobile. Been scoping out some fishing sites over there around Satsuma. Looks to be very promising. Hopefully will be there soon.

Here's the spoon  I lost ,aaaaagh!

did you break that bottle of champagne yet?

Welcome aboard McScuff something I talked about 6 months ago. I know I have much to learn myself and hopefully with all the knowledge on this site we can become better accustomed with our electronics.

Hutton spoons Haha , I have a very paper thin ,light one about 2,3/4 "  I can trying split shotting .The name and connection hit me just now so I sent you the link .I've never caught on the Hutton spoon ,I have only tried once before I think .It's perhaps a trolling spoon gotten down with a weight ,but flutter spoons that can be casted with wind at the back can be productive as casting spoons on light line .Tipped with a piece of crawler ,very enticing to fish and the extra weight aids in casting and better than using a shot .

"I've got a bunch of those paper thin ones too, mostly Luhr Jensen "Manastees" I'd like to try a three way swivel, with a Helldiver low, and a flutter spoon high. Hopefully I can get the chance."...SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT TANDEM IDEA ,BUT DO YOU MEAN HELLDIVER OR HELLBENDER?

similar to the little cranks you like

Hello. I joined the site then got real busy and forgot about it. My passion is fly fishing for pan fish, mainly Blue Gills. My main fishing ground is Clarks hill lake, Savannah River, and local ponds. Nice to meet you
