| Okay, now REMEMBER you promised not to laugh. There was logic to
my choice. I sometime fish down at the Met in Marlboro, well there
are caryfish/crawdads? there so I bought a Repala Crawdad. What
do you think? I have to tell you I have a fear of lures because
when I was very young I walked behind my brother when he was casting
with a bass plug and I got it right above my eye.

| Jan,
the proper reply to .4 is something like "get bent," but realize
that unlike the sports file, all ragging in this notesfile is done
*in good fun*. As long as you catch fish with it, it doesn't matter
which lure you use. And you can always RAG BACK!

Just because she got suckered into buying a lure that looks pretty and might
even look nice hanging from her charm bracelet is no reason to take that
attitude!

Thanks Joe but I can battle for myself. RE:6 I know you guys and
I know all your quotes, I have been reading this file for quite
awhile.
Also when you guys get through ragging on me could someone answer
my ? about the reflector lights!
I have one more ? did you guys ever get together to go after the
big snappers behind the firestation. That note was a riot and I
was going to come down if you ever settled on a time and date cause
I wanted to meet some of you nuts. I live right near there.

| No not yet, some of these wimps take vacations and getting everyone
together has been tough. I believe that we are shooting for next
Thursday nite??????. Thats the plan as I understand it. Some tweeb
wanted to use boats to get them, you know who you are TBDW, but
I think he's been talked out of it. Behind the firehouse looked
real bad, no clearing and all muck. I'm sure we'll find a suitable
location. I bet that pond down by the Hudson Elks is loaded with
them.

| re;

Thanks Mike for the ego booster.
Ray that is not a pond in back of the elks that is the Assabet.
There would be access near the bridge in Woods Park which is a little
bit before the elks . Hopefully you will all be wearing waders??
The water isn't too deep there and I think the turtles may hang
out under the bridge. I can't believe when I was a kid I use to
swim down there and you could actually see the bottom.
There is an organization called OAR who is trying to get the Assabet
cleaned up. They actually stocked in some parts of the Assabet this
year. Who knows maybe someday...................

I was thinking about the pond (puddle) that borders the Elks property
and the school. Which do you think is better?.
Ray
|
| 823.13 | <Just A puddle> | USADEC::BOURGEOIS | | Fri Jul 29 1988 19:45 | 16 |
| That's exactly what it is a puddle. That is wet land in there, I
really don't think you will find turtles there. I think you would
be
woops hit return to fast / better off at the bridge. I do know of
another place that has humugeous snappers but if you don't know
the area I don't know if I could explain how to get there. It is
just over the Stow line, I think it is part of Lake boone. If you
are interested let me know and I'll try and give you directions.
If you guys go to the Assabet where I am thinking you can walk to
my house and drink your cold ones in my back yard after your fiasco.
Plus I would get to listen to all your fish stories. My husband
would fit right in with you guys. He loves to fish, hunt, shoot
and kill woodchucks.

RE.3 Jan, he was "trying" to snag your eye out. I do it all the
time! There is no better Bass bait than human eye trailers.
Re.9 Yo Ray, I refuse to fish on the property of a racist club like
the Elks...even for turtles. Do we wear Klan outfits? Thursday
sounds good.
Hummmmmm, a crayfish Rapala...well, buy one
more Jan. They will make interesting earings.

| DAMN, I ain't never seen so much beating around the bush with failure
to scare out the rabbit as this. :*) !! All the nice lady asked
twice for was advice to help her hubby manuever his trailer.
( MY SIDE HURTS FROM LAFFIN')
Anyway, if he has such difficulty, may I suggest he mount a ball
on the front bumper. Works like a charm!! I've got one up there
cause when I've got the camper on I can't see the boat/trailer
at all. 5 minutes of switch-o-swap-o, and yer all set.
As for the lure,- GOOD CHOICE. Any deep running thing brown/orange
or red/black'll give ya some fun, especially on smallies. And the
faster you burn it the better they like it.

| 823.16 | A solution that may help other problems too. | MENTOR::REG | Just browsing; HONEST, I'm BROKE ! | Mon Aug 01 1988 17:22 | 23 |
| re .0 In case anyone WANTS TO talk about it....
I have similar problems, i.e. without the boat I often just
lose sight of the trailer when it drops at the start of the ramp.
By the time the car has got to the steep part of the ramp and I
can see the trailer again, its often started to jack-knife around.
I have a front hitch, but most of the time it just seems too much
trouble to uncouple and put the trailer on the front JUST for recovery
(launch is fine, since I can see enough of the boat anyway). I've
thought about getting a couple of those guide posts for the trailer,
they would a) Help the back up with empty trailer problem just
referred to. b) Get the lights up out of the water, I wouldn't
have to unplug them for launch/retrieval and forget to plug them
in again. c) In raising the lights to somewhere near the top of
these posts and putting them farther apart they would give following
traffic a clearer idea of what they're coming up on. d) They'd
help loading in cross winds or on uneven ramps.
I believe these posts are sold as "Hi_lites" or some such name,
about $80, made by Wesbar (or is it "Westbar" ?)

| Jan,
In the 1988 Bass Pro Shops catalog (the big yearly one) they have the
B&M Guide-Lite on page 420. It sells for $19.87. I've seen these
work and they seem pretty good. Check them out....
good luck

| 823.18 | But why do you want to stand there? | CGVAX2::HAGERTY | Jack Hagerty KI1X | Mon Aug 01 1988 19:35 | 13 |
| My trailer has two rollers - high - that guide the boat into the
trailers bunks - they are great for using as a guide when backing
up the empty trailer.
Actually anything could be used. As long as its visable by the driver
through his mirror(s). A 3/8's wooden dowel, or a "curb
reminder" (remember those) kind of thing, or how about those flags
that attach to a kids bike so you can see them before darting out
between cars - - place one on the trailers wheel well. Tape anything
to the trailers crank stand (close to the hitch) and see if thats
far enough back to detect direction changes acceptable that close
to the hitch. Let us know how it worked.

| We went to Flint pond last night and my husband had made a pole
holder out of pvb? pipe, he's a plumber. He put it on the trailer
and put his pole (fishing pole) into it with a white rag, it worked
great. Needless to say the fishing wasn't great, I was not impressed
with Flint Pond. We went there for Hornpout and I even put some
chicken livers out in the sun saturday , boy did they stink. Nothing
except 3 little blues gills. It was so weedy there I didn't try
my
new lure, I didn't want to loose it the first time I tried it.

I can't stand it any longer...Let's get serious............
You know those long orange poles with the triangle flags attached?
the kind that kids use on thier bikes, old people use on thier three
wheelers, and recumbant cyclists use to make them visable to oncommers?
1( afix one of those (10 foot jobber will do) to the top of that
red CRAWDAD lure.
- This will alert you to any changes in the lures movement.
2) Invest in a lure "retriever"
- This will allow you to toss that lure into the weeds. (although
I would rather not go thru the hassle unless I'm on a fure
sure kinda hunt ie: I saw the dam hawg and I WANT THAT FISH)
3) Two of the flourecent types do make good earings.
_ You will look more like tyhe WORM. (or is that a third EYE
I see?

1st of all my crawdad is not red and 2nd of all if you keep ragging

| YO TBDW,
You know I don't wear flourecent earings! I wear one earing
and it's a real shunken head givin to me by an old voodoo high
priestess. My third eye opens only when needed. By the way Jan,
that 10 foot pole might be a little short to cram up TBDW's shnozzola.
It is quite enormous. I'd go with a 20 foot 4X4. ha! ha! ha! He
did have some good suggestions however. I would heed his advise
with that lure locator in particular. You can mount an optional
police siren on the top with a flashing light. Both will go off
when you snag your lure.........

| You guys don't know what you're talkin' bout! You talk about problems.
I tried takin' the ball off the rear of my car and mounted it on
the front bumper. Worked good for takin' it out of the water.....BUT
when I hit the Maine Turnpike and got up to cruisin' speed all hell
broke loose! The guy drivin' the police cruiser kept blowin' the
siren like he wanted to get by and I'll be darned if I could keep
the rig straight enough to stay in my lane and let him by! I finally
pulled over to the shoulder and stopped and this big trooper came
up and................! He said I shouldn't listen to all the
suggestions in the notes file, including your choice of lures! He
said what works good for one person might spell disaster for another
soooooooooo, Jan, stick with what works for you.
PS: I put my trailer ball back on the rear bumper!

Driving backwards my foot! I was drivin' forward and to make it
worse my mother-in-law was gripin' that she didn't like the view
and my beagle thought we were chasin' the boat and he kept circlin'
over my left shoulder across the dashboard into the mother-in-laws
lap and into the back seat howlin' like he a had a long legged snowshoe
bunny on the run. In the process he stepped in the boys' peanut
butter sandwich, tracked it all over the car, got the kid cryin'
and then that darn trooper came up behind me......How'd you ever
expect the headlights to work that way anyway? Tell ya what though,
this experience sure sharpened up my reaction time for backin' up
tandem haywagons.
