Season for them to grow in really cold water is very short so they never get big . Bass typically come from semi-tropical waters in Louisiana and Oklahoma and Texas and places like that . . . this green bass is a Florida Large Mouth . Anyway, bass respond to a lot of different things . . . spinner baits, Zara Spooks ( . toledo-town . net/fishing/enlarge . asp?pic=images/X9255" target="_blank">www . toledo-town . net), top poppers, do-nothin's, plastic worms, Rattle Traps ( . rat-l-trap . com/) . . . aggressive as a pit bull . . they are very territorial and bite almost anything that is no more than 2/3rds" target="_blank">www . rat-l-trap . com/) . . . aggressive as a pit bull . . they are very territorial and bite almost anything that is no more than 2 their size . If it fits head first into their mouths, they keep it . (Not good eating for me . . too fishy-tasting) The thrill of bass fishing is getting that hook-up . . . and the resulting fight . They dive, charge and run like crazy . . . sometimes right at you . I have had them jump over a boat I was on once and spitting out the lure while doing it too . If you surface pop or have something that floats like a popping frog or jitterbug, they take it like a bear claw coming out of the water and sweeping it under with them . The knees get shaking from that action! Bass WILL NOT rfespond to most food-type baits . Sometimes a real worm that is on the bottom and still wiggling will work . . . but bass are too smart for peanut butter or liver or fish parts . I don't use food-type baits . . . just artificial lures and such . I hear they fight well . A good rig must be essential huh? I've caught a few rainbow's in the Tongariro (the greatest fishing in the world!) that have suggested they'd rather stay wet, but nothing compared to bass .	allblack (6574)

I like a little more finesse so I use 8 lb, and in clear areas about 6 lb. You just gotta be careful to not get the fish too tired or when you release them, they float belly up and need fish CPR. MOST sportsmen "CnR" them....catch and release; that's why we don't use food to catch them. Lures stay in the mouth area and the damage heals in about 24 hours....if you catch them by the stomach the damage is too great and you might as well keep them and fertilize your trees with them at home.

I think I did . . let me go do it again and then you'll have less troubles . . . . watch for the mail . Just got the message as follows when I tried to sign on: Unable to complete The service is currently undergoing maintenance and certain areas are temporarily unavailable . Please try again later . We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause . Hi SJ Yes you did give me an invitation and quite some months back I uploaded at least one, and I think, two photos . Did get the sign in message (you mention above) eventually and although things seemed fine initially (and I accessed the website) perhaps I did get caught up just at the wrong moment . Mind you --- given my experiences with MSN maybe I have to revise my opinion of our Telecom (maybe Telecom are good guys after all !! :confused: ) cheers Misty :)	Misty (368)
529263	2007-03-02 22:54:00	MSN is being ravaged by black hats right now and it isn't running too well...something about "Vista go to hell...." or something like that. It's a good thing that I don't depend on it too much...I like Google and the whole Firefox family...only uses MSN as a dumping spot for spam and junk mail. It couldda been worse...I had a choice between MSN and Yahoo!	SurferJoe46 (51)
529264	2007-03-03 05:11:00	That may be because I am not using a hotmail account, but instead Fred_Dagg@xtra . co . nz . I am sure Misty doesn't really have an address of Fred_Dagg and it was just used as an example, so you kind folks that have notified the Mods of a email address in plain view of the spambots do not have to worry about it . :) However, if I am wrong . . . Misty can let us know and we will remove it . You do of course know who Fred Dagg is . . . ;)	Jen (38)
529265	2007-03-05 04:27:00	You do of course know who Fred Dagg is ... ;) SJ probably does'nt ! ;) Just to let you know SJ that I have just managed to logon to MSN etc and have uploaded two photos, one being of yours truly (hope that does'nt cause MSN to crash again - seeing my countenance can be a traumatic experience even for the likes of MSN !) Misty :lol:	Misty (368)

Misty :lol: Ah! Yes! Fred Dagg . . . brings back warm memories to any American! He toured very extensively with the Fred Waring orchestra as the ventriloquist . Wearing woman's clothes, he'd hold three dummies and have interesting conversations with them and he also invented: THE-DUMMY-TALKS-WHILE-THE-VENTRILOQUIST-DRINKS-WATER ROUTINE . Alas, two of the dummies were lost in a bar fight in Australia where the tour was at the time . Mentally, it took a heavy toll on his psyche and he retired to a dried fruit stand in Kununurra, Australia where he blended right in with the local indigenous persons . They say the digeree doos play tunes like the sounds the wind made through the head of his sole-surviving mannequin, as it stood at full attention, a steel rod driven through it's back and into the trunk of a Wollemi pine tree . Fred's vast collection of female attire was sold to the natives and remnants of the cloth can be seen in their head ornaments and as evil spirit chasers outside of their huts . The US celebrates the untimely demise of Fred on a holiday that was federally declared upon confirmation of his death, 22 years ago, August 11th . The people of San Francisco dress up in their finest Fred Dagg outfits and parade through the streets, holding the middle finger of their left hands aloft in a plaintive salute to a true American hero who died on foreign shores . It brings tears to MY eyes to even think of this sad and yet handsome man and his memories .	SurferJoe46 (51)

Hi SJ You know of him so very well so that you are obviously the person who should write the official biography ! Misty :D	Misty (368)
529268	2007-03-05 05:50:00	I never mentioned the fact that he had a third leg that he kept hidden in the full skirts and crinolines he wore to keep his secret from casual eyes . Thoughts were that he actually controlled the third dummy whilst it was perched upon this third leg . Popular opinion was set aside when it was revealed that he actually enjoyed female attire and would have worn it with or without the extra appendage . There is a commemorative clock in the Sidney Opera House that is purported to have been carved from the remains of the two dummies lost in the bar brawl . . . but rumors fly in the face of logic on this assumption . The actual arms of the clock were NOT carved from wood, as it has been discovered that they were actually cast iron . We don't talk about that in the US and just dismiss it as bashing by the Aussies as they didn't really like Fred all that much anyway and felt he had brought a virus to the kangaroo population that practically destroyed these fun-loving and cute little critters from the outback altogether . What would Australia be if not for those postcards and photos with them? Nobody would even go to Australia if they were all gone .	SurferJoe46 (51)
