Tax Day Ramblings
My taxes have long been done & the refund long been spent, so for those of you still scrambling, very unfortunate, great day to be fishing. Speaking of spending money, I recently bought a new Shimano Curado E7 & 2 new Shimano Stradic 2500 spinning reels. I bought the Curado, because its new, from Shimano and I just had to have one. I bought the new Stradics because I needed one new reel and I have heard that the new features on these reels almost eliminate line twist and wind knots and that will pay for itself come tournament time! Fortunately for all of you, spending all that money has caused me to dig a little deeper and list a ton more stuff on my Bass Fishing eBay Store. I have listed 4 Shimano reels (Stradic Mg, Calcutta, Castaic & Corsair), plus a ton of tackle (Sebile, Berkley, Jigs, etc.).
The weather has been beautiful the past two weeks, so I have had the boat out once briefly and stopped 3 times from shore to fish for some crappies. Bad news, no crappies and 1 baby northern pike, on the flip side jumping green bullheads really seem to like my crappie sized micro chatterbaits tipped with 2" chunks of Gulp. I think I have caught 19 of those buggers....
Other random things...
Supposed there will be a Calamba Cup on World's Greatest Fishing Show, featuring Zona & KVD against Swindle & Skeet. Should make for excellent TV Saturday morning, so set your DVRs.
My daughter Riely turns 1 on Friday, very exciting, big birthday party weekend, been busy getting house ready. Even better new, will be freed up for fishing after this weekend :0 Watch out Pool 2 bass!
Next week expect Fantasy Fishing lineups for both Norman & Smith Lakes. Plus, Tru-Tungsten has sent me a bunch their new hand pour worms for prizes, so sharpen your lineups, the prizes are great!
Lastly, this Saturday, I have a FREE Bass FIshing seminar at the Medina Entertainment center at 10:15am. Come and learn how you can be better at extracting bass from shallow heavy cover, you will not want to miss that! Details Here!

Where did you pick up Crappie Chatterbaits?
I just Googled and see Cabela's and Bass Pro carry them

I got them from Gander Mtn in Lakeville, they are labeled as the Trout & Panfish series of chatterbaits, there are two sizes, both seem to work

I found a lot of the 1/16ths on Ebay, think I will probably win them. I'll have to check Gander Baxter for the 1/8ths next time I am in, but it could very well be that they don't carry them.

First, congrats on your little girls birthday! I have fished the GulfStream and Florida Keys all my life, I am now getting into bass fishing in the Everglades and am having a blast, thanks to blogs like this showing me the way. Thanks!

I really enjoyed your seminar on Sat. It was interesting to see how someone else approaches their day on the water. I even picked up a few tidbits that will help this summer. Thanks

I haven't been fishing in a few weeks but when I went in September hoping to catch a quite a bit of bluegill I also ended up with more green bullheads than I wanted. I just use grub bait because bluegill tend to eat anything, but they just weren't biting. Seems like it's been that way all fall.
