Well Deadeye, I guess I'll join you in the back pains department. Hows yours doing? I pulled something playing softball on Wednesday and ive got a new tightness in the center of my back ive never felt before. Im used to the lower back pains from my excessive weight but this one is very different.  its more like a stabbing in the center of my back.

You may have pulled a vertebrae out of alignment. A chiropractor can give a quick adjustment and you will feel instant relief. After a couple of days you will feel a lot better.

Eww a chiropractor? I dont trust doctors what makes you think ill trust a quack? Lol

[Capt. BassinLou]

The way I see it is you have 2 options: A. Continue operating with stabbing back pain that will wear you down or B. Go see a specialist that can easily fix your problem and feel better. Chiropractors have fixed me in more than one occassion and they made me feel better quick. Choice is yours.

[SFL BassHunter]

Those are some crappy options lol

[Capt. BassinLou]

Here's option C. Wait it out and over time the pain will go away.

That is indeed the option I usually take...

Have not been on the water in a week, but..... I'm going tomorrow busted ribs and all.  Not much pain the last few days so I going to screw that up and maybe catch a few with the Mrs.

Picked up some Academy brand baits. Swim bait (bluegill 3.5) was $6. Lip less (American shad) was $3. Top water (slush daddy) was $4.

The Sebile "pivot" frog was $7 I think. It's odd to only have one hook, but it moves freely.. I think it's on a hinge or something.
I am literally just moving my hand.. the weight of the bait moved freely around the hook. I assume the weighted hook is to help it sit in the water right and not act like dragging a huge exposed hook through the water. We shall see!



Edit! I read the package lol yep that what it claims to do. I'll put it to the test!

I'm disappointed in my academy frog. Ive used it a few times only and it's already taking in water. I haven't even caught a fish on it.

This morning at the lake house

This one is a Sebile not an h20. Most hollow bodies do after a while. Give it a few squeezes every few cast.

Oh here ya go zzzzz lol

Ah ok. Yeah I know they do but I was expecting it to last a little longer before i started to have to squeeze the thing. Oh well.


I just got my other box from Academy. Still very happy abouit my 50lb 300yrd power pro purchase for 15 bucks. I guess I'll find out about my rod rack when I assemble it.

[Pferox]

I got a rod rack from them when on clearance, one that looks like a chest of drawers with six rod holders on each side.  It has worked out great for me, although now I have more rods than it can hold.  When we get a place with more room, might have to buy a half dozen more of them.

Great Advise.

I've been using them for years since I was in my teens. The trick is to find one that really knows what they are doing, just like any Dr. My current one is awesome. They do the Electronic patches with heat, Physical manipulation, Hammer Gun manipulation, Water Jet Bed, Roller Table, Spinal Decompression Table, Massage Chair that really works.

Has kept me being able to move by seeing them every two weeks for over 2 years.

Before that I just went when I needed to see one. After awhile you know when you put something out of place and usually 1-3 treatments and your good to go.

Look good West, let us know how they work.

Try putting a drop or two of Super Glue on the nose where the hook-eye enters the body. Most often this is where the water gets pulled in. Sealing this helps keep the water out, but you will still need to give it a squeeze every so often to make sure it stays empty. Just becomes part of it after a while and you don't really think about it.

[Capt. BassinLou]

The frog could have also torn somewhere and water is leaking in. Unfortunately that happens often.

Ah, mine is just a simple rod rack. Circular that spins. I have an area to place it right by the front door. If I ever get more rods, I'll just buy another one. But the rack was either 12 or 14 bucks on sale. Thought it was perfect for my needs.

Yeah I'll look into that.

I didn't see any rips in the frog so this may be what is happening.


On another note, the weather has really turned to shit down here in the last 2 days. We had thunderstorms yesterday with tornado warnings. I guess it's kinda good considering the fires along 8th street (Tamiami Trail). The bad thing is fishing in a thunderstorm/tornadoes is just a tad dangerous. 

[West6550]

Yep here too.. and I'm getting a roof installed... poor guys worked in the rain  yesterday for a while.

[Capt. BassinLou]

9 days left in the month!!  What's everyone's gameplan? My boat hopefully gets fixed this Saturday. Fingers crossed. This 1/2 " to hit a 100" is driving me crazy!! This is the closest I have ever been, but I don't have a lot of fishing window's left.....

That sounds like a good deal.  The only reason I actually got this one was because the Wife saw it on clearance and it was like $100 bucks off the normal price.  Too expensive for what I use it for.

We had rain most of the weekend finally cleared up, but it is kind of cool now.

[West6550]

Pulling the boat out now for this afternoon of fishing.
