Doh!

Yep, I do know Hartwell is on the GA-SC border (not NC) and the Vikings' DE's last name is Robison, not Robinson, but as Yoda once said: "Type too fast bad that is."

Tip of the Day

Catchin' TX ShareLunkers.

Good tips on catchin' big'uns, worth a full read:

> Mark Pack said big bass like the security of having deep water close to their spawning areas. “Anglers in the spring need to fish points and banks where deep-water channels swing in close."

> Most big fish spawn in deeper water rather than right next to the bank, said Gene Snider, another guide…. “More than 90 percent of the big fish we’ve caught during the spawn have come from water 5- to 15-feet deep. I usually fish with a jig and don’t expect to get a lot of bites."

> “Be patient,” advises John Barns, president of Strike King Lure Co. “Fish slowly and thoroughly, especially in an area that has produced big fish in the past. I believe that many times you have to aggravate a big bass into biting by making repeated casts to a particular area or by changing lures multiple times.”

> James Caldemeyer, another Lake Fork guide, says anglers in general fish too fast. “The majority of big fish caught from my boat bit the lure when it sinking or sitting still. Big bass prefer a slow presentation. When you think you’re fishing slowly, slow down even more. It works.”

Quote of the Day

Feider has been fishing since he was a tad….

– A what?? Line from Marky Hicks piece on bassmaster.com about a young MNer tryin' to make it.

Does "tad" mean tadpole or taddle tail or…? And holy cow, is it legal now in MN to bass-fish??
