    Hotel lake bank fishing.

    Down in Jax for a couple weeks for work. Decided to bring an ultralight. Took one of my coworkers with me. First cast caught a solid 4lbr. Buddies second cast he caught a nice 2.5lbr, then I got a 2-2.5lbr, and ended up with a dink. No pics of that one. We both got a couple more bites but...

    Inherited a tackle box!

    I ran into an old friends dad last weekend. He used to fish tournaments when we were kids, but has apparently stopped freshwater fishing a couple years ago. His wife has started harping on him to get rid of some of his old stuff, so he offered to let me come over and pick out some things. He...

    Shaping up to be a good bass season.

    Caught this guy about 100ft from the front door. Hit bit a Mattlures swim bait. Maybe 3 lbs. Was trying for the female but he wouldn't leave it alone. Maybe she'll bite before I go to the DMV tomorrow morning.

    Nice sunset bass

    I'm going to Jacksonville for a couple weeks for work, and wanted to take a pole with me in case there are lakes around where I'll be. Went to Bass Pro because they have the Carbonlite spinning reel on sale for $59. Picked up the reel and also got a travel rod, 3 pc 5'6" light action BPS Micro...

    Work travel to Jax, who wants to take me fishing?!?

    Hey guys, travelling to Jacksonville, FL early April for a couple weeks. I'd like to get in some fishing if I don't work 7 days a week while down there. I'm down for some largemouth, but have no problems with saltwater, especially if reds or specks are running. Not looking for a free ride...

    Caught another FATTY today...

    3rd fish of 2012, maybe as good as the first one. 4" Berkeley Havoc Pit Boss, green pumpkin colored. 70ish degrees, no clue about water temp, not too cold (I fell in the other day and it wasn't ridiculously cold). Caught this pig no more than 100ft from my front door. Gotta love a condo on...

    First fish of 2012

    Went out stomping the banks of the lake at my condo today. 4" Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver. Dirty Sanchez color. What a name. First fish of the day was this one, didn't have a scale, but I'd say it was an easy 4, maybe 4.5 pounds. Fat as a football. Can't wait for the coming weeks...

    Buying my first house:)

    So my wife an I live in a 1 bed/1 bath condo. It's awesome. Big for a condo, close to my work, and right on a great bass fishing lake. Only problem is, now that we're coming up on 30 years old, it's time to start a family, and that's kinda hard to do in a 1 bedroom condo. What I originally...

    A little late, but eye candy nonetheless.

    While I was in Afghanistan my buddy sent me a pic of his big bass of the year and I forgot to post it. He caught it in early April on a Senko. It weighed 9lb 4oz.

    Home. Finally.

    Happy Thanksgiving guys! I finally made it home from Afghanistan (well, 2 weeks ago, but have been super busy). The trip that was supposed to be 2 months ended up being 7. All in all it was a good trip, my Wife wasn't nearly as bad about it as I thought she would have been. The longest we...

    Cheap U.S. Reels:)

    Because I "like" Professional Anglers Association (PAA) on Facebook, they send me all sorts of info on stuff that goes on. The other day they posted on their wall that they were having an auction on E-Bay that has U.S. Reels Supercaster Spinning reels for $54.95, baitcasters for $54.95, and...

    12V vs. 24V trolling motor

    Hey guys, got a question as to what would have longer range. I'm wondering if a 12V trolling motor run with 55lb thrust would have a longer range than a 24V troller with 70lb would. Reason for the question is my boat is a 14ft flat bottom and I think I could get away with running at a lower...

    Got a care package from home...

    So yesterday I got my first care package from my Wife since I've been in Afghanistan. I've been here for 5 months, but just recently got to a place that I would be at long enough to receive mail. I talked to her a couple weeks ago when I first got here and told her about a couple things I...

    Sweet iPad Apps?

    I'm kinda new to the whole "tech" thing, so does anyone know of any cool iPad apps? Mainly looking for fishing related, tide charts, lure/color selectors, etc... I know they are out there, but don't know if anyone has any experience with any of them. Any cool games or other apps too, I don't...

    trying to find the right trolling motor...

    I'm hopefully going to finish my boat when I get back in country, the only things really left are carpet, fish finder and trolling motor. I have an older foot controlled troller, but am thinking trying to convince the wife that I need a new one. My main question is- I will be going in...

    Officially a grown-up now.

    I've had the same email address since I was 16. [email protected]. Hence the screen name. I made this address because of a sweet old mustang I used to have (1986 SVO). Anyways, I've been getting emails from people saying I'm spamming them emails about "increasing your size" and "viagra"...

    ? about Nikon Macro

    Hey guys, last Christmas I bought my wife a Nikon D3100. Now shes kinda leaning towards wanting to take Macro shots. Do any of you know what would be a decent starter Macro lens? When I think Macro, I think pics of a flys eye, but shes thinking more like birds that may be a little farther...
