I have two poles. One spinning rod and one baitcaster. I use fluorocarbon on both. I use senkos & soft plastics on my spinning and jigs/crankbaits on my baitcaster. I’m planning to get a third for braided line to be my top water. Fluorocarbon sinks and braid doesn’t. I always switch depending on the area I’m fishing and whether the weather/water is looking favorable for the colors you want. I literally swap between four plastics. Craws, Senkos, Curly Tail Worms, and Brush Hogs (any other creature bait you prefer but I like the way brush hogs move in the water, especially in the water I fish in). Always switch depending on vegetation too. Whether it’s grassy or not.

Hello all. I can’t catch a fish of any kind. I found time to go fishing four times this summer. Did not catch one fish, not one! Not one bite! I’m fishing in the Clark Fork river in Thompson Falls Mt. I’m trying for pike, large and small mouths bass or just anything that swims. I don’t have a boat so bank fishing is what it is. Now that it’s fall should I just wait until spring. The river here opens up to form a lake just before the dam. I’ve tried frozen smelt, all my crank bait lures , nite crawlers , some jigs but there hard to use from the shore. Is it my scent. Someone told me to try we 40, tried that to. Don’t know-what to try.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks LarryW

Twoalligators were sitting at the side of the River.

The smaller one turned to the bigger one and said, 'I can't understand how you can be so much bigger than me. We're the same age, we were the same size as kids - I just don't get it.'

'Well,' said the big Croc, 'What have you been eating?'
fishermen, same as you,' replied the small Croc.

'Hmm. Well, where do you catch them?'



'On the other side of the river near the boat ramp

'Same here. Hmm.....How do you catch them?' asked the big Croc.

'Well, I crawl up under one of their pickup and trailer and wait for one to unlock the car door. Then I jump out, grab them by the leg, shake the crap out of them and eat 'em!'

'Ah!' says the big Crocodile, 'I think I see your problem. You're not getting any real nourishment. See, by the time you finish shaking the crap out of a fisherman, there's nothing much left but an a**hole with a fishin pole.'

this has nothing to do with fishing,and I apologize

The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from the Consulate at Bergen, Norway.

Reports from fishermen, seal h****rs and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard of temperatures in the Arctic zone.

Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.

Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.

Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coast cities uninhabitable."

I must apologize.

I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in

The Washington Post 96 years ago.

This must have been caused by the Model T Ford's emissions, or possibly from horse and cattle fart




just wanted to make you laugh a lil
