<p>I will be out fishing on an actual Flux Capacitor tomorrow after the Showgram (back on the air after months!) I can't wait.</p>
<p>I hope the gills are biting for me in this new pond I am trying!</p>

<p><br></br>I dont run into this too much, as I don't fish the same sort of waters. I was checking out a new spot yesterday, a wide creek that passes under a highway bridge. It is close enough to my home to ride my bicycle there.</p>

<p>I can assure you, there wont be any patch wearing members of the BassBusters club there!</p>

<p>But as Johnny points out elitism has always been with us. Back when the good stuff was linen line and hand made bamboo rods, people were looking down their nose at others. I always kill em with kindness. I invite them to step off the lake and into my swamps and ponds. No need for their fancy hats and giant tackle boxes there - better to have some tall rubber boots and a can of worms.</p>
<p>Of course, respect is earned and you get it by proving consistent results. Just keep doing your own thing, like you are, and proving what you got.</p>

<p> Artificials have their place and I use them now and then just to change things up. It's just the attitude of some people that look down on panfishing that I have a problem with. I'm very respectful towards other fisherman that I meet when I'm out on the lake. I'll share bait and tackle with people that I have just met, especially if they have kids with them. I'll even put them on a good spot so their kids can catch fish. I just wish the same respect was given to panfisherman by the industry…</p>

<p>Nothing wrong with live bait, and it will certainly put fish on the bank. However, there are times, places, and conditions when artificial lures can be of great benefit to the angler. I think if you limit yourself to strictly live bait, or only artificial lures, then you're gonna' miss out on some prime action.</p>

<p>And only one flavor of bluegill that I like: rolled in meal and fried.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Add a beer and I think I've gone to heaven. The BassBusters can have their fun, as far as I care.</p>
