jiggin_pimpin You have me on this one - I have been searching for a source to backup your statement that GM and Ford are building plants in China, can you lead me to a source? Because if they move it will be the blow to take us into a depression after what Obama is doing. Hey Marty, I believe that ...

Bob, I completely understand where you're coming from. Other than the taxes being paid, why would the gov't want to incentivize any corporation? Up until recently I mean. From the Bigs position, regardless of gov't incentives, why would they want to stay domestic? You've got cheaper labor, cheaper g...

Answer this jiggin_pimpin, If the Big 3 main goal was to bust their Unions, then why not file bankruptcy and not take the stimulus? [/b][/color] If your exit strategy was to move operations to China and you get smacked with this economic downturn. What do you do? You have a massive cash flow proble...

spoken like an informed Economist...... look at their lines. They do offer high MPG vehicles. They just can't make them 'as good' or 'as cheaply' as their foreign counterparts. i.e. their pricepoint is to high and their lower end products don't have the brand loyalty and preceived quality as say a ...

why give $300 million for "green" cars to federal employees? Does anyone know how much $300 million is? And they're probably gonna be imported from Asia and not even help out our Big 3. Can they not afford their own Prius? Gosh what a waste, if your gonna give away cars, give it to the re...

This is my favorite line: If embryonic stem cells are so promising, why aren't venture capitalists lining up and why does ESCR need federal funding? Indeed, let's stimulate science, not ideology. It's like they read this post. :lol: Do venture capitalists still exist? Very good point Greg. LOL Cert...

You have to be very young to ask a question like that but let me do my best because our schools have failed you in your education of history. To fully understand you have to look at countries like Cuba, the Old USSR, North Korea, and China and compare them with the good old USA. I not talking about...

Do you believe the government can deliver goods and services better than the private sector? Take healthcare for as an example: Would you prefer services delivered via Medi-Cal / Medicare or Kaiser Permanente? Or even simpler - do you believe first in yourself (and your own ability) to take care of...

Cole, You've got to be kidding right? For your sake, I really hope not. This mess is a direct cause of the the Bush administration with a lot of help from the Clinton adminstration. Obama is simply trying to clean this mess up as best he can. Bush did very little to help tame this current recession ...

Hey guys,

Been reading a lot of what you guys have to say in regards to politics here. I just have one question for all the political parties.

What is so darn wrong with the US moving towards socialism?

Let's chat it up.

Hey Guys, I'm going to Puerto Rico on a surf trip. Problem is the swell will not be big enough for us to have fun. I did some initial research and found that PR has largemouth bass and peacocks. Now here is where I need help. I'll be staying in Rincon (East Side) and was wondering if any of you guys...

Hey Nick, I'm glad that you're so proactive in trying to find a perfect school for education and fishing. I think the school you go to and what you want to major in is really a big deal. Also as important is what you want to do after college. You stated that you wanted to major in business. Mind you...

BiteMe, If you looking for a lighter reel than the Steez, you're not going to find it for less than $500. The Shimano Stella is pretty comparable but is just as much if not more. Since you're already in the Daiwa family with the Steez, check out the Kaldia Kix. They are usually sold in Japan only bu...

Well, our high gas prices is due to our dependence on oil. OPEC is a cartel that decides how much oil to produce per day. Unfortunately, the US is not part of OPEC and has absolutely no say on their production level. You think any of the countries that form OPEC wants to "help" the US? Not...

Hey Gents,

Thanks for all the replies. I'm going to be throwing the plunker with 50-66lb braid and the palomar knot.

Thanks again all.

jiggin_pimpin

Hey guys,

Just got a new Lunker Punker and I want to test it out ASAP! But first, I wanted to know what type of knots are you guys using and why? Any feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

T

While fishing the WON bass Pro am this last Sunday, I witnessed this for the first time. I saw a silver flash and was going to cast into it and then realized it was a 2.5 lbs bass choking on 2 lb catfish. Went to net it to separate'em and then the catfish got loose. It was definitely a sight to see....

jiggin; Well...lets just say I snowboard and that's it. I'd like to learn how to surf though. Depends if I go to SC or not. I wish I had the options of Davis AND Santa Barbara. It was weird this year. Biggest class of high school seniors applying to in-state colleges in Cali history, from what I hea...

I am an UCSC alumni and loved it there. In addition to those places mentioned above, you can try to hit up Twin Lakes on the Eastside of SC by the Harbor mouth. I know that there are bass in there. There's also a hidden lake by Costco out there that is gin clear but also has bass but is very small a...

Well in that case, I really hope that no one doing the AC got ticketed. And if they did and didn't speak up.................. what a display of intergrity. Bravo!

"So this sounds like I will have to find an inspection station every time I drive back into Lake County at 4am to fish. That isnt gonna work for me. I dont want to have explain why my boat is wet or the bunks are damp or tear apart my interior to get to the bilge." Hey BMX, I don't think y...

P-Line Halo is by far the BEST fluro on the market today. Really durable and tough as nails. I do have some minor issues with the line twists, but it's to be expected. I've used fluro covered line in the past but had too much problems with it. I've had knicks in my line and still brought in good fis...

The beauty of this country is that everybody can and has an opinion about pretty much everything. Some just go out of their way to relay and push their opinions onto others. Really, Is Ike such an important part of our lives that whether he is a jerk or not, really needed to be debated on this websi...

jiggin_pimpin

Wouldn't you be DQ'd by AC if you did indeed get a ticket? Or is that not in the rules? Just checking, did not fish but wanted to clarify for future.

Hey Guys, I just got done doing the FLW NG Delta and it was my first experience on a major circuit. I ate a bunch of humble pie as I got smoked on the Co side. I had an awesome pro take me out to prefish and I had a great Day 1 pre fish and a poor Day 2 pre fish. It seems like I carried the 2nd day ...

I keep mine rather simple. 2 hard boiled eggs in the morning washed down with a Monster Lo carb (Gotta keep the figure in check) and an energy bar. Lunch is usually a sandwich or various meats and cheese, celery sticks w/ pb and raisins and trail mix. I always bring extra energy bars in case I get h...

Hey big,

Setyr rods are cool and very light. The flipping sticks are nice and stout, the only problem I have seen with Setyr is that the handle is not very long so that might be something to consider.

Hope that helps.

jiggin_pimpin

Mine is pretty simple. I just pee into the drink. Now #2 is a whole other story in itself. Never had to bust a #2 while in a tourney, but i prevent that by watching what I eat the day before and if there is even an inkling that I might have to deuce, I take 2 Immodium AD's in the morning and unload ...

jiggin_pimpin

Gt5Bass, I as a coangler would rather put up $700 for the FLW NG fo a chance to win $25K and still fish with 3 pros on their best water and see what baits they use. I would fish Havasu, but with the FLW NG Delta and the Beijing Olympics, all my vacation time has been used for the year. Good luck to ...

I was semi- lucky that I didn't pick up Bass fishing till my senior year in college. My time in the summer was consumed by summer school, H2O Polo practice and surfing. Loans and grants paid for my last two years of school and still paying for it. Should have taken more paid internships in college d...

U gotta be kidding me Wood, there's lots of places for poker in the Bay Area. I should know, bbeen losing all my fishing money lately cause I can't stop saying all in w/ 2-7 offsuit. Come on up and I'll take you to a few places. No limit, limit, omaha and 7 card stud.

BDBR: I do believe if you're talking about the Dobyns 866, then it's too long for some of the tourney circuits around here. But, I went on the Dobyn's site and they've got a couple of rods (806's, and 807's) that are at 8 feet exactly. Unless it is a typo, then those would be tourney approved rods t...

Anyone know where I can get estimations on Boats. Looked on Kelly but did not find a boat section. Please advise.

Thanks,

jiggin_pimpin

Thanks for all the responses guys. I am planning a trip out there by the end of the year and am going to drive around and take a look at the layout of the land. As far as prices and affordability goes, all the prices for the homes I have seen in and out of the Austin area is gravy as opposed to what...

jiggin_pimpin

Ranger, Definitely check out all the above possibilities. I just wanted to know if you own your own home. If you do, have you considered taking out a Line of Credit? There are some good rates out there. Just something else to think about? Or even better, if you have enough in a 401(K), take it out a...

Hey All, Was wondering if we got anyone here that either lives in or has lived in Texas. Has anyone ever heard of or fished Lake Buchanan near the dams? Plan on doing some house hunting out there and would like to concetrate my efforts near productive lakes. Any other lakes I should put in for consi...

I have clip cull tags and I used to poke through other holes rather than make new hole. But I've since switched to putting it through the gill and out the mouth. Does this cause any harm to the fish? I do this for all fish 4lbs and under. If it gets any bigger then I just throw the bad boy into the ...

Hey all, I've been reading the all the great reports from this last weekend's Clear Lake tourney and weights. I do have a question though. Is Won Bass Pro/Am tourneys a shared weight format? I apologize in advance as this might be common knowledge to you guys here but I looked on their site briefly ...

I just switched from using 15LB Yozuri Hybrid to Pline Halo 20lb fluoro and it's made a would of difference. Less re-ties and more abrasion resistant. Have yet to break of a fish w/ the HAlo. A little pricey but woth every penny. I use it for my jigs, flipping and senko reels. Have yet to break one ...
