Welcome to the IHoP

I'll have to take you up on that offer

The james is pretty fun sometimes too . Just the past couple of years the fish size has been down . Numbers are through the roof but no size to them . With the new river you have that occasional musky bite when your least expecting it . hook into one of those monsters and it will change your whole outlook on freshwater fishing rather quickly

I love Muskie fishing, but afterwards you need at least 3 advil. It is brutal on your body.

I don't use live or dead bait for fishing for anything. Artificials only. For Muskies it is even more important since a really good population density on a lake is 1 per acre. I don't want to ever deep hook one. For Northerns a stinky bait does work well though.

I use a lot of topwater baits, crank baits, bucktails, spoons, and spinnerbaits. At the beginning of the year you can get away with little 4oz cranks but by fall 8-10oz's are great. Throwing things that weigh that much and cranking back all day is tough though. Typically the baits I throw are about the size of a .75 to 2lb walleye. I have had better luck with the longer skinny baits. I'd recommend by one of everything you might use in black first as they seem to like it the best. Adding a little bit of blue or orange is okay too.

If you want to use live bait and cheat a bit. I'd use two rods. Throw a big fast moving bait above and just put the other rod in a holder off the back of the boat with a 12-16" sucker minnow on it. Muskies are notoriously curious and will follow without eating regularly, to lure them into attacking a bair you should always pull it in a figure 8 a few times boatside. I'd guess nearly half of the muskies I have hooked have hit during the figure 8 and not the retrieve.

I could go on....

I already have pics. I practically sprinted for the camera as soon as i typed it was here knowing i would be banned if i didnt.

problem is no way to load them to the work computer

have pics of it sitting on top of a $1200 server for the school board.

Dude you need to relax sometimes and realize nobody cares.

women are 

I hope you didn't just realize that now....

nah, just had the idea reenforced though

[Acidburn 10]

lmao the only bickering that goes on around here always involves Chris. How am I not surprised.

doesnt surprise me in the least

[Acidburn 10]

Settle down, it's the pucking internet.

Age has nothing to do with it.  Respect does.

Take it easy, perhaps someone needs a little time off ... because I'm not going to deal with it in this thread, let alone on this message board.

pretty please?

with cherries on top?

i need help, anyone here familiar with the chevy key security thingy? my bro-in-law has a 96 monte carlo and it has this pieces of metal in the key, keeps it from starting and is going bad, sometimes takes him an hour to start the car, we want to just disable it but i can't get crap from google cause i don't even know what the system is called

yeah, my Impala has that, the little thing in the key is just a resistor

resistance match the car's value = car works

resistance doesnt match = car no worky

if you can find the right wire, all you have to do is measure the key with a DMM to figure out how much resistance you need and then hook up that many ohms of resistors in the wire

there are write ups for this for Impalas and I'd assume the Monte Carlo would be fairly similar

the thing is that you do loose that level of theft protection

[Acidburn 10]

/\ and now i see that you already figured it out, oh well

[vladd 26]

still appreciated tom
