Confusing post for sure.......as was your Bass fishing post.....didn't buy into much of what you said there. For example....you stated the desirable goal as being a boat load of Large Mouth Bass, and than proceeded to give advice on winter fishing the species....dependent upon where your talking about, you might want to read the applicable bylaws, or at least point them out, to others reading your post, as both practices may be illegal. As for your stated techniques, and what conditions, and presentations the species prefer, I didn't buy into much of that advice either, but, to each their own. I do however, commend you, on taking the time to offer your advice and opinion(expertise) and post it here.(I just don't agree with some of it).......I do however agree with Biff
