    I usually get a special box designed for swimbaits....you can usually go to the shoe store and find em but they come with shoes in em. I toss the shoes and just use the box :lol:

     

    I waste my time with other things instead of storage like figuring bites out

    +1 :D

  7. Is it just me?

    I have to admit as well when i first joined i ask a question or two but then realized to search and read old post. I can tell you its all good information, but as stated before it will not give you instant success... I've been throwing swimbaits for around a 7 months and all I have gotten are 1-2 lbs and followers. The best way to learn is to study you lake learn what the fish are doing and apply what you read on here at the lake. Every chance i get im out on a lake throwing swimbaits and It is a grind you have to be dedicated or it wont work and i can say just the thought of everything coming together for me one day and sticking a DD makes the days not catching fish and learning worth it.

  8. Strangest thing's you've came across while fishing?

    So anyone who night fishes a lot knows thats a peak time to be subjected to some eery ish......

     

    I was night fishing at a local lake, it had been a slow night but it was early Fall and there was quality biting. My first spot I stuck one well over 6 on a jig, boat flipped it and was surprised it was such a nice fish, it was about 11pm, kept fishing caught a dink, hooked another large fish I tried boat flipping twice, and failed both times, it was BIG. Grabbed the net and it jumped and shook my bait and was gone.

     

    I was really stoked to have hooked two great fish in such a short period of time so motored over to a flat and started fishing a deep water entry point, from shallow to deep, with a 6'' Osprey in bluegill. I remember I was catching fish almost every cast, all quality 3-5lb fish, it was a blast cast slow roll, thunk, flip, throw back. I caught a nicer fish a little over 5 and it slowed down a little bit. I night fish without any lights on my boat if I'm the only one on the lake, it just helps me stay focused and adjusted to the dark, I don't like using light of any kind besides flash for my pictures. So it's safe to say noone can see me out on the water on a moonless night like that night.

     

    I usually look up at the mountains and the sky, watching for shooting stars or crazy locals in the woods....... I look clear across to the end of the lake, and see a lighter flick, assumed it was the usual local pothead and kept doing what I was doing....

     

    A while later I saw the lighter flick again, a ways down the bank closer to me, I tracked the lighter all the way around the lake, it was into the AM hours by now, and as it got closer I quit fishing to observe..... Right on the bank near me is some lights, on some houses, and I can see someone walking down the road the opposite way toward the guy with the lighter...

     

    The guy with the lighter rounded the corner and met the other guy, oddly enough it seemed as though it was a pre-arranged meeting in the early hours of the morning, still pitch black........

     

    I heard them start talking and began making out some of their words...... I heard something along the lines of information having to do with "Cops", "Setting a trap", "Trapping someone" etc...... I was definitely rattled, debating if I should call the cops to save someone from getting kidnapped, or hurt in a "trap"?..

     

    Then they walked closer to the lake, and not joking here.... Started moving sheets of corrugated aluminum, in my head I was imagining they had dug a hole planned to put the aluminum over it then cover it with leaves... I was tripping out by now, completely alone on the pitch black lake..... The noise stopped and both the men walked back in the direction the second guy was walking.

     

     

    I assumed it was whatever and started fishing again, then no joke, I heard a kid (sounded 13-16) yelling.... "I don't want to be here anymore"....Talking to himself extremely loudly in the dark, yelling "Mom!".... "Get me out of here!" "I hate it here I don't want to be here anymore"...... :shock:

     

    I troll over toward where I heard him and loudly asked if there was someone who needed help up there.....

     

    The response I got was pretty shocking, the same kid I heard replied "Mind your own fu**ing business!"..... I stood there in shock for a minute, thinking what this whiny little brat was bitching about in the middle of the night....

     

    He was literally screaming to himself on a desolate bank of a lake about how "He didn't want to be here anymore"....5 minutes after I heard two dudes plotting their "Trap" and rustling around with sheets of aluminum.

     

    As I stood there, the kid walked down to me and started talking, like I was some sort of counselor, talking about absolutely nothing that made any sense to me :?::!:

     

    I asked him if he had heard the two men talking about trapping someone just a few minutes prior and he said no :o .

     

    I ended the conversation and called it a night...... To this day I have no fricking idea what was wrong with the world that night, but I trip out over it to this day.

    I read this twice and It trips me out! wonder what the "trap" was :?:

  22. camo or not to camo?

    Posted

    Mainly looking to hunt waterfowl and upland birds. I purchased a benelli nova and im happy with the synthetic. I heard the recoil is a little rough due to how light it is, so im going to buy a recoil pad and more shells with the money saved.

    I was kind of leaning towards camo, but since its not necessary I'm going to get synthetic. I work at a sporting goods store that has it so a discount is nice, and me being a new hunter this helps a lot and saves me money for other things like swimbaits, shells etc... :D Thanks guys!
