Your Taurus is too light, underpowered, and has front wheel drive.
Won't do the job. We've all seen small pickups trying to pull boat out and spinning their wheels.
Don't try it unless you have someone with a real tow vehicle handy to help pull out both your boat and your car.

Naw.....it just puts a crimp in their love life for a while. Think of it as a tongue stud.

Are you coming back to work the beer booth?

Brake size is important when you're towing. The newer anti lock brakes will hold better, but smaller brakes tend to overheat and warp the rotors. You start to feel a small shudder when you've been in traffic for a while. Be sure to get a towing package with bigger brakes, rated for more than your bo...

TonyL, I'm not a spoon expert, but this is what I do. I try to find a concentration of baitfish, and then find some structure next to them. I usually drop my spoon down to the depth of the bottom of the baitfish on that structure, so it is on the bottom. If there is a school in 30-40', I look for a ...

Seig,
Does the sidescan really show the kind of detail in real life that the promos show? It looks too good to be true.

mark poulson

Tell that to Jeff Jue.

He own's Casitas. He weighed the only limit in our last club tourney, and even culled up, just for spite!

mark poulson

JB,
Which unit are you looking at?

mark poulson

If that's the case, have sTony do some fancy photo shop fogging, and bring it on!

mark poulson

Pete,
A photo like that must be gruesome, if Gator won't post it. Give us all a break, and don't ask for it.

I am a non-smoker who is really sensitive to smoke, but I never even notice the smoke at the Bass A Thons. Ever.
They are that good.
Thanks again, Rick and Cindy.
And thank you to all the men and women in the armed services who help make this moment possible. Come home safe. And soon.

It stopped my back spasms on the drive home, and it's much easier for me to keep my balance in wakes, an issue with my aluminum boat. I have it spaced up 1 1/2" above the bottom of my Flatfoot recess, so it is slightly higher than the deck level. It really makes fishing all day easier. I stand ...

mark poulson · Re: Fall Back I just did the same thing. Oh, well, it's quiet at 3:00 am.

I just did the same thing. Oh, well, it's quiet at 3:00 am.

I have three Extreme reels, from 2002, and half a dozen rods. No rod problems, the power hump is great on the rods, lots of guides for good action, durable. Other than getting salt water on the sleeve bearing (replacement bearing was easily obtained through BPS) on one reel when I fished calicos off...

I'm not sure if I understood all of it, but that translation program is pretty amazing.

mark poulson

Thanks, Charlie.
I have a couple of friends fishing it, and I'm dying to know how they did.

mark poulson

Bassbones, I have to go along with what Jim posted, although my perspective is a little different. In a former life, I had an unhealthy relationship with illegal chemicals, and so did most of the people I associated with. I've been away from that sceen for a long time now, and I still have some frie...

Does anyone know where to find the first day results? I looked on their website, but no dice.

See you there.

Kevin,
I read the website blurb below the Flappin Hog photo, and it didn't mention anything about a lawsuit or conflict with GYCB.
It did mention a swimsuit calender that GYCB is coming out with for 2007. I can't wait!
Fat Ikas and Senkos in thongs!

Where can I find Aristocrat?

mark poulson

Cooch,
This is California. You need an out of state license to ride stripers in Jersey. Lots of cops post here, so watch what you say.

mark poulson

Kelly, I always thought that weed beds, in fact all plants, gave off C02 at night, because the photo synthesis stops when the sunlight stops, and they release C02. Where do the fish go at night when the lower levels are oxygen starved? Do you think that's when they suspend shallow? I've caught fish ...

I've been hearing about the slow Japanese economy the last three years or so. Has that affected the prices for tackle there?

mark poulson

Which booth will he be crapping in?

mark poulson

Kevin,
How do the prices for tackle in Japan compare to the U.S.?

Are you working the Bass A Thon?

mark poulson

Funny, I met Swindle at last year's Bass A Thon, and he was a great guy. For sure, he isn't shy. In fact, he was totally dominating as a stage pressence. And he really helped make the event fun and entertaining. But he doesn't take himself too serious, and he and the rest of the pros there took turn...

Seems like it would be easy attach floats to the end of the Life Tags.

Is Gary D. going to be at the Bass A Thon?

mark poulson

Go online to Tacklewarehouse.com They have them, too.

mark poulson

Does it count if you get blanked on prefish?

mark poulson

Yeah, that can be tough. My daughter has a treeing Walker coon hound named Charlie, and he thinks anything I cast is a bird, to be pounced on and killed. Makes throwing in the back yard kind of difficult. Of course, wrestling a lure back from him would probably get me in great shape for a world reco...

mark poulson

Good to hear, John. Funny how we take our health for granted until we have a problem. I guess it's the old "If it ain't broke" deal, but, as we get older, staying healthy is almost a full time job.
Personally, I vote for just staying young. It's a lot less work.

mark poulson

I was actually talking about how much the lure hangs below the tip before you cast, how much line you "let down". That's what I've always called it. Some rods load better with more let down, some less, depending on the weight of the lure. You might also want to work on a side arm cast. The...

mark poulson

John,
How are you feeling? Up to speed yet?

mark poulson

Many years ago, I played with a BBQ rotiserrie motor for turning rods slowly after I coated the wraps. It worked, because it was really slow, but it was a pain to rig. And that was two houses ago, and it got lost somewhere between there and here. But it did work for rods. I don't think I'd invest th...

mark poulson

Corey,
I found the 5 minute epoxy yellows right away. The slower (15 or 30 min.) seem to be more clear.
I just ordered some vinyl clear coat. I figure it will work, short term, when I need it. Long term, I will use 30 minute epoxy, and turn it by hand (what a pain).

mark poulson

Don't over throw, play with the amount of let down for each lure, warm up first thing in the launch area before you go to your first spot to make sure you're comfortable with your setup, and be sure that you've made any adjustments you need to before your first money cast.

mark poulson

Congratulations Jeff. Way to go. And to Mike Carpenter and Vic, thanks, too. I know you had to pull some strings to get to fish, Mike. CBC is gratefull.

mark poulson

So, John, what were the results?

mark poulson

Screw the traps to a larger piece of plywood as both a weight so they don't crawl off, and to keep the blood spread to a minimum.

mark poulson

mark poulson

J, I don't think one coat of clear will change a bait's action, but, if it's balsa, absorbing water will. And a crack in a plastic lure will let water in. So having a clear coat that's durable, clear, and easy to apply would be great. I've used two part epoxy, and super glue, but they don't do the j...

mark poulson

Does this work for all floaters, or just those that are really bloated?
I worry that I may hit something vital if the swim bladder isn't really pushed forward.

mark poulson

Scott,
It looks from this illustration that you penetrate the lining of the mouth, above the throat hole, between the crushers. Is that right?
