Finally scratched the itch I got on artificials . Bought some lead core, 3 ways, big swim baits....oh yeah....also bought a bunch of stuff I don't really need but that damn bass pro is like a crack house...
Trolled around mid BW from 5:30pm till 7..... Caught one decent fish after I took off the new swim baits and tied on an old buck tail with half its hair missing.
Marked lots of scattered fish....never more then 2-4. Lots of singles.
Scouted....and scouted....and scouted. Never found a school. All those scattered fish made me wish I had bait.

I love your stuff! I remember going to sears with my dad and buying lures. We sat around and looked at them and talked about them and rarely ever caught anything with them. I often times think that buying lures is like paying for a great dream that doesn't have to come true. Maybe crack addicts feel the same way as they chase some made up high that doesn't exist. Ehhhh...I'm too philosophical today.... Thanks for the laugh! |

Yam it's simple. Not about the actual fishing. Its about that moment. That's how I see it. Agh heck that's me being simple again.

Yam....well said. I still get a thrill looking at all those big lipped baits that promise to dive 25 feet....cruising the salt water section....convincing myself I should probably get more hooks, swivels, weights, ....the funky soft baits....jigs and pigs. I use to be a green fisherman and that tackle is flat out fun....still got a ton of it....used to drive around S. Fla with a 10' Jon boat car topper and drop it in all the highway interchange ponds down there.... There's dynamite in them ditches!!!....or so we used yell.
Total new education for me....flukes and spoons and planers and cast nets and SBT's and URigs.....the list goes on and on and on. Good Lord I've spent some $ .... Makes me happy just thinking about all that tackle.
