Jeffrey D. Abney's Comments

was great to meet you last weekend....am greatly interested in coming down in may, or sooner, if you suggest, and try to fish for three days, or half days, with you, or if you have to work, by my self...also, could you recommend any members that fish deep creek lake, in md....thanks

Okay thanks a bunch Jeff, i think i just need to quit worrying about which one to get and just get one lol but it will definitely be a BnM

Yeah i can see how line size is most important, what 10 footer do you use?? i was looking into the bnm breambuster  but every review says you need to tie around the pole and run it through the eye or the eye will break off easy on this pole. Also was lookin at a mr crappie bream shaker, bnm little jewel, and bnm skeeter pole. Dont really know what the best one is just curious about which one you have?? Thanks Jeff

Hey Jeff, Jordan here..i was looking at some 10ft poles and realized how light the action was, is the 10 ft still heavy enough to pull say a 2lb 'gill from thick cover??

I appreciate it....we'll see what Mother Nature has in store for the rest of this winter.

In a word...scary. I just don't trust the look of it this year. I think I'm growing old sure enough, (everybody warned me I would!), and my nerve is not what it used to be. Twenty years ago I would've walked all the way out on it, swung an axe between my feet to chop the hole, and started fishing. Now, I want to look at it, drill test holes, inspect a sample for air pockets, measure the thickness twice, (with two different tape measures), smell it, taste it, and submit a sample to a laboratory for failure analysis.... All before I even think about getting out on it.

It doesn't help that it stays just cold enough to prevent it from disappearing entirely, yet warm  enough that it doesn't get any thicker....aggravating.

Thanks, I love making them almost as much as fishing them.  Hope he gets a trophy!

Thank Jeffrey, maybe we can get together and open a keg of nails sometimes.  Or some other useful activity like chasing gills, I had to give up chasing girls, my wofe didn't like it.

Thanks Jeff you the man!

jeff how do i put pic on this site

Not yet....fingers crossed though. I can see it on the radar, Isaac has come north, now he just needs to make that right turn they talked about!

Supposed to rain all day tomorrow, and all day Sunday....no fishing this weekend.... BUT THAT'S OK, just as long as we get some rain.

hey Jeff,not an old man hahaha, enjoy your site

 LOL ! Like I said,just started fresh water fishing myself :-(  The name Stumper comes from my Boy Scout days as a Assistant Scout Master  :-) and its my "handle" on the Louis L'Amour forum. Been to Binder Lake, live about a mile from it , it just outside of Jeff City Mo. Just moved to Mo from SD Calli , that was all salt water...DAA...LOL people here find it hard to believe I never fresh watered fish in Southern Cal , heck ! there aint none !!! Oh , there is and played around abit but thats all...anyway , Thanks for the welcome and am sure I'll get some good advice here  :-)     Stumper

Hey thanks for the welcome Bill Allen

Thanks Jeff. I think I will make that trip up your way sometime soon. My daughter has become a fishergal/hunter and enjoys that water as much as I do. I took her today and she caught a couple 10" crappies.

Jeff, I have fished the chowan river a couple of times. It's been a while since I have been to the outerbanks but they are never out of question when it comes to fishing. The only hinderance I really have to my mobility, is my newborn. My wife works long hours and so that leaves me to child rearing. I fish whenever plausible/possible. I am from newport news, va so I was raised up on salt water fishing. I like to try new things from time to time. Epecilally when it comes to freshwater fishing.
