Just a reminder
Atl,
I just purchased a gift certificate for a friend who lives in Atlanta. If you want to eat at a great Italian Restaurant (/Zagat's #1 in Atlanta) check out DiPaolo's. It is as good, (maybe better) than any restaurant I have found in New York's Little Italy. They serve Northern Italian, so it is a pleasant change from Southern Italian that is so popular. It is pricey, but a great way to splurge. http://www.dipaolorestaurant.com/dipaolo.htm wrote in message ups.com... Bill McKee wrote: wrote in message ups.com...

I know that because of your efforts to try and get everybody to act as you would like them to act, that you must have not known this. You not getting boating gifts this year? What difference would what *I* get have to do with Jim Hertvik's post? I"ll answer....NOTHING..... Think! Only 4 days left for boat shopping. Um, Bill, YOU need to think. You asked if *I* was getting anything boating related. Whether (or not) *I* am getting anything boating related for xmas has nothing to do with Jim's post. Using analogies as far fetched as yours, no one would ever have to post off topic, any and every single subject could, in some far flung idiotic way be considered boating related. Either way. In my house, the wife sends me to get my boat stuff, and then she wraps it. Cool, isn't it? Yeah, that must be a very cool surprise....... You already know what you're getting, why bother wrapping it? I like surprises, and my wife, being quite smart, is very good at figuring out what I'd like and surprising me with it. If I wanted to go by myself something, I can do that any day of the year. |

Not really for the boat, but I get quite a lot of cool fishing gear most years. Last year my little girl picked out a gift for me without any input from mom, it was a Bass Pro Shops ceramic coffee mug. I use it every day. I wish someone would give me a gift certificate for new brakes, wheel bearings, master cylinder, and anything else my trailer needs! wow....Maybe I'll wish big like you.....hell, I wish someone would give me a give certificate for a new Nitro bass boat!! I'm not going to put in much time between Xmas and New Years, so I may get to the lake a couple of times to go stripper fishing. They're deep and slow, but can catch them on live shad, blue back herring, trout, or shiners down lined... Try to be extra gentle with the herring. They have feelings, unlike ordinary bait fish. -- John H Even the blue back ones? Seriously, I don't use them very much, they die pretty easily in my livewell, I don't have a big circular one. They aren't native to Lanier, they got "introduced", and have populated to the point where DNR now allows them as bait. They have made Lanier one of the premier bass fisheries in the southeast, though.... Hell, I didn't even know they came in different colors. I know they're used for salmon bait, and have even caught a couple of nice salmon with them. Will you be live- lining them? -- John H **** May your Christmas be Spectacular!**** *****...and your New Year even Better!***** |

Stripers are cold and deep here, so you put out a few rods with your favorite live bait, I like trout minnows. I go to my usual locations, and then slowly maneuver around watching the fish finder, and if I find a school, put Mr. Trout down at the same depth as the fish....I always keep a rod ready with a 1/4 ounce bucktail jig, if the stripers are chasing bait, and the bait comes to the top to try to get away, you can start throwing the bucktail in the middle of the commotion and possibly get one that way. You can fish for spotted bass here in winter, too, as well as smallies and largemouth, but they are deep, too. |

You can fish for spotted bass here in winter, too, as well as smallies and largemouth, but they are deep, too. We use bucktails a lot here, also. Here we call it 'light tackle jigging' or LTJ for short. I've not had good luck with the technique. Usually it's been too windy, or I couldn't find the fish, or something (lack of experience is probably the root cause). -- John H **** May your Christmas be Spectacular!**** *****...and your New Year even Better!***** |
