Tip of the Week - Don't get stuck on one bait - try different things. In a tournament last weekend I gave up on crankbaits after the sun got high and went to worms. I found out later some of the top finishers beat me by throwing little crankbaits all day!
Fishing Poll - http://fishing.about.com/library/weekly/poll/polllist?terms=a1 - What is your favorite live bait?
Thought for the Week - If guns cause crimes, then pencils cause misspelled words.

I have also posted notes about this site - when articles will be updated, chat topics, fishtales and other things. If you have any event you would like posted there, please email me. I can post them years in advance!
Fishing The Net SITES - http://fishing.about.com/blfishnet.htm?terms=a1 - Each week I feature five to ten sites I have found that week. I get them from newsgroups, email and surfing the net. Check these sites out - they change each week and are moved to my library of links at the end of each week. If you have your own site or a favorite that you would like me to list, email me!
Bonus Joke -More Andy Rooney: On Phone-In-Polls: You know those shows where people call in and vote on different issues? Did you ever notice There's always like 18% that say I don't know. It costs 90 cents to call up and vote... They're voting I don't know. Honey, I feel very strongly about this. Give me the phone. (Into Phone) I DON'T KNOW! (Hangs up looking proud.) Sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe you're not sure about. This guy probably calls up phone sex girls for $3.95 to say I'm not in the mood.
