Well I'm one of those guys that casts right handed and reels right handed so I have to change hands after each cast..............

That is not bizarre at all. That is how most south paws fish. My son in law fishes exactly the same way you do and catches a ton of bass when we fish together. He also is right ahnded but prefers to reel left handed. I am going to send you a PM if you would be interested in improving your reel options.

So you cast right handed but reel left handed?

Penn is a great salt water reel but they have never made a fresh water reel that is truly designed for fresh water bass fishing. By any chance are you left handed?

J. Percy Priest lake is one that can jump up and bite you very quick if you don't know where your running. There are many rock piles, humps and very long points of rock that when not at full Summer pool can put a hurting on you quick. I have been fishing that lake about 20 years and on and never hit anything but it is because during Winter pool I also use to visit the lake and I got to see all of the dangerous stuff when it was out of the water during draw down. Back before the GPS units to mark those dangers I made videos in the winter time and marked them on aTopo map for future references. Old hickory is far more forgiving becasue of far less rock but still a big stump can do some serious damage and there are a lot of stumps that are nice to know where they are at also.

What kind of bait caster reels do you have? A lot of using a bait casting reel is the quality of the reel. There are some out there that even the best experienced anglers cannot make them work like they are suppose to.

I doubt there will be anything done here to change how we are doing things. Trump made an attempt to try and do something but was shut down by Liberal courts. I don't think it would have prevented anything that is going to happen that may be in the plans of the terrorists but at least it was an attempt to put something on the burners for the terrorist to think about. Now with the courts seemingly on the side of the terrorists they know they still can enter as they want to into this country. As for stopping anything from happening, we saw a good example of how things don't work in San Bernadino when the neighbor of the bad guys suspected something but was afraid to bring it to the attention of authorities for fear of racial profiling. That proves that the statement IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING does not work...........JMHO

Maybe the gun talk has slowed some because the democrats are no longer in power and some folks feel the pressure is off firearms and civilians. I myself have not been in a market to purchase another gun as I am of a conclusion at present time I have all I need. I do want one more but it is a want and not a need. I want a BersaThunder Plus and if I find a deal on one I might drop a few bucks to get it but not going out of my way to find one............JMHO

There has ben times I have had to change colors of tubes on a single trip to keep catching fish. I think the angle of the sun changes the color of the tubes and can turn the fish off to one that is working. I have an assortment of about 12 different colors to work with when I go. Water color also has an effect on what color tubes to use................

Hope your dog house is big and comfy and the dog does not mind sharing. Your lucky it is going to be cool next few days unless Dog house has A/C....................

Back when I was a kid growing up in West Chicago I was a Black Hawk fan but lost interest in Hockey when we moved south since Hockey back then was considered a cold weather sport so most teams were in colder climates. When the Preds first came to Nashville I was a little shy about whether they would last or not but they have hung tough and put all my doubts to rest over tha past few years and I was actually thrilled when they kicked to Dookie out of my old Hawks and moved on. I hope they bring the Cup to Tennessee for sure............

If he is going shell cracker fishing he will have a blast if he finds a bed of them for sure. Over the years I have found that I enjoy eating Shell Crackers more than Crappie. The big ones had a lot more meat on them when you filet them. When I go for them I take light or ultra light tackle and make it more challenging..........lol

I hope you enjoy fishing KY lake for sure. There are a couple places to fish just out side Paris Landing. If you turn right and head towards the bridge you will see a few rocky points that drop off fairly fast into deep water. I have taken some nice Smallmouths off those point with a spinnerbait. The Bridge pillons will also hold some fish but the boat traffic is going to be very bad through that stretch. I have not been on that lake in about 15 years and last time on it was Memorial Day weekend to Fish a 2 day tournament event out of KY lake Dam Launch. Worst mistake of my life. It was like trying to fish in a washing machine on wash cycle continously. Many boats came back to weigh in with damage to them. The only damage I had was bruised Kidneys and no boat damage. I think everyone that had anything related to a boat was on the water that weekend and the big cruisers had no mercy on any one fishing or trying to fish. Just be careful and enjoy the weekend. My boat will be staying in the carport this weekend. I have had a few buddies ask me if I was going out on Old Hickory and I just smiled and said it's gonna rain and I might melt. They got the hint.........

I buy mine at Flippers Bait and Tackle or Poindexters baits Shop both in Gallatin but they are sold all over on line. I just buy them here locally to keep local small businesses operating. Hope this helps

I use to use minnows all the time for Crappie fish untilta buddy of mine took me one time. I asked him if we were going to stop and get minnows and he said, nope, don't need any. When were got to where we were going to fish he handed me a rod already rigged and it had a Crappie tube bait on it in Black body with chartreuese tails and I no more than got it down in the brush pile before I had a big fat Crappie on. We both caught our limits in keepers in about 1 1/2 hours. Caught a bunch of fish. If they quit biting one color you switched to another. The one I caught most on was the Red Body with Chartruese tails. If you have never tried them you might want to give the a try. You can catch about 8 or 10 fish on 1 tube..............

The secret to keeping your traps is the put them out after dark and get them bfore daylight. I use to have that same problem and going while still dark helped me fix my problem. It's either that or put the trap out and baby sit it till you have enough to go fishing.

Yea and I do appreciate your help very much as it will help her and take a load off of me trying to figure out what to do with all of it. I did enjoy meeting you and your son very much...........

Please breathe when youhave turned Blue and Purple while waiting on your refund.....

Well, I got to meet Red333 and his son yesterday and it was nice to put a face with a name. We got to spend some time together and talk some. It was a pleasure meeting them. Both are great folks for sure!

After reading the news release it almost sounds like it was a deal made between them for the guy to take his car so he could collect the insurance money on it or get ou of paying for it with insurance paying it off for him. I have heard of that happening a few times but they always got caught in insurance fraud sooner or later............jmho

Me too...............

I have gone a few times to purchase a firearm in a public place alone but it was always a TGO member in good standings. If I was meeting someone not a TGO member I never went alone but had an armed friend with me to watch everything going on.

This is my sweetheart Bersa model 85. I really ejoy going to the range with this baby.

I just went and looked at Buds and they have 2 on the first page of the Bersa section. Blue is $270.00 and Nickel is $313.00 so I guess they are still making the CC's.

I'm looking at buying a Bersa Thunder Plus soon. Not a need but just a want. I like the idea of the 15 round magazine verses the 8 round. I guess my model 85 spoiled me. I will keep my Thunder 8 round for ever since it was my first gun I bought after getting my CCW permit and I carried it a long time and still do depending on where I might be going. I can't say nothing bad about Bersa's..............jmho
