I've only just started messing around with them this season. Mainly the GeeCrack Bellows shad at this point, but I do have some Thunderhawk Grenades (similar to the Bellows Gill, but made with...

I'll reiterate a couple of points. First, we are only having problems with the younger dog, Poppy. Our older dog, Luna, has been left to wander the house during the day since she was probably 3-4...

We have a golden doodle that is 5 years old. Other than peeing when she gets excited, she's never been a problem and is a great dog. We wanted to get her a playmate and so we got another golden...

Not sure why, but hadn't thought of a squarebill...thanks. Wind is one of those things that I let get into my head too much. I would rather fish in the cold or the rain than fish in heavy wind. ...

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Pretty much what I figured we would be using for baits. Now, do you fish the hardest hit shorelines or do you try and fish the shorelines that are not getting hit...

My fishing partner and I are taking off early tomorrow morning for our annual 2-day spring fishing trip. It's not much, but it's a chance for us both to take a couple days off work and go a few...

Thanks for the info guys. I’m putting a Daiwa Zillion G on it and will be using it quite a bit this upcoming week. The little I’ve used it I found it to be a nice rod, but just never really knew how...

I bought a rod from a fellow BBC member a year or so ago. He had built the rod using a Bushido rod blank. I don’t build rods and am not familiar with the various blanks, so I was just wondering if...

My 2 cents, stick with the Metanium. The Bantam A MGL is a fantastic reel and I feel like it casts standard size (3/8 oz and up) baits just as well as the Metanium. But the line guide is positioned...

I have not tried them before, but Zappu makes something called a floating board. It's basically some kind of thin foam with an adhesive on one side that you stick to the bait to make it float faster...

I had the same thought as you, so I decided to email one of the DNR guys from the county that I live in. I haven't gotten a response yet, but hopefully he'll be in agreement that there's no harm in...

That is interesting, although it looks like that article is from 2012 so who knows if something changed between then and now. I had emailed the DNR regarding this a few months ago and at that time I...

Except that I was told in two separate emails by the Iowa DNR that I cannot. I cannot find anything in the Iowa fishing regulations that says anything about teaser rigs either. Here is what it says...

Minnesota may be different than Iowa. I was basing my information on the fact that the Minnesota rig is only blades plus a single hooked bait. I have removed that part from my original post.
...

Living here in Iowa, we are restricted to 2 hooked baits on an A-rig. I understand the logic behind states restricting the number of hooked baits. What I don't understand is the reason behind not...

Does anyone else find it odd that the article says over 749,000 dead fish? Is there something that legally takes effect if the number is 750,000 or more? Even if it's just an estimate, why not just...

NV, I sent you a PM. Thanks so much for your generosity!

I should have asked questions BEFORE I bought things from Tackle Warehouse. I ordered yesterday and I ordered the 1/4 oz jigheads along with the paddle tail swimbaits I mentioned. Am I going to be...

Thanks for the reply. Two people have now said 1/8oz jigheads...is 1/4 oz too heavy? I think I'll be using this in water ranging from 5-12 feet deep mostly.

Thanks for the responses. NV, it's good to see you back posting on the boards again. I always love hearing your takes on various JDM stuff, especially rods. I did contact Iowa DNR back a few...

Iowa is one of those wonderful states that won't allow you to fish a standard A-rig. We are limited to 2 hooked baits. I found a compact A-rig (shorter wire arms) that has 3 arms with center-pin...

This. Mike (21XDC) suggested this airbrush when I decided I wanted to give airbrushing a try. Prior to that I was planning to buy a $180-$200 Iwata. The one he suggests does a fantastic job and...

Thanks for the info.

I'm looking at getting a red dot sight and found the one I'm looking for at Primary Arms. Does anyone know of a discount code that is active with them right now? Just would like to save some money...

I literally can't believe I put Gary Clunn...talk about feeling like an idiot. I'm just surprised it took this many posts for someone to make fun of me for it. I corrected it, so all should be...
