I know that type Ben. We have them in my neighborhood.

I notice they also tend to have loud pipes on their trucks, and drive like maniacs down our neighborhood streets, kids be damned.

"(Qoute)They are there for the sponsor boat decals, points lists, and competition with other men. To me, that's not Fishing as the Good Lord intended. " must be wh yal lmy bass fisherman left , but i ireally dont care becasue i dont sponsor or look up to those kindah folks .
in case you missed the FTX mission statemen tis to teach people how to fish and catch fish. Porverb says ; givge a man a fiush you feed him for todaty , teach him how to fish and you'll feed him ferever!!
SO most folks what are ompeteive wont stay long eitehr they leave or i cut them out or sometimes liek SK they get a promotion!!
SK is a good example of teh Mission statemen t becasue he cathes fish and shows folks how to do it the y follow him around the lake lie a covey of ducklings then ihad another one clained he was teh bes tand he could cathc some fish bu the did no tontribute and discourage folks fro mcontributing info and pictures , first chance i got and he was gone gone gone !!

As with motorcycle riding, the point of it for me is to enjoy the "zen" of the activity itself, not to rush to the destination, or score a big catch.

When I was young fishing was a way to get out of the house and blow off steam from the work-week with my best friends on the weekends drinking and jawing and fishing.

When my fishing buddies moved away, I took up motorcycle touring.

Now I don't drink, and sold my bikes. Now fishing is mostly a way to spend time with my elderly Father whom I love a lot. He's not long for this world. Bassing and jugging is about the only activity we can do together away from the chattering women. I dig it.

I admit, this is part of the reason I dislike the rude Tournament Players. They are not there for the Fishing. They are there for the sponsor boat decals, points lists, and competition with other men. To me, that's not Fishing as the Good Lord intended.

Great you get out fishing with your dad. That is cool in my book.

Chasin bass is always fun. Combo fishing by adding in jugging I like it.

Thanks!

My general fishing pattern is:

* Dig up worms from compost heap with flashlight.

* Pick up Dad on the way to lake

* Cast net for shad with headlamp. I cast. Dad picks 'em up from the ground.

* Set out juglines.

* Put poles in rod holders with bobbers and worms.

* Troll around casting for bass

* Reverse

This way I catch bass, crappie, and cats.

I'm thinking of going to a fish trap for shad instead of net casting because the netting eats up a lot of time in the morning.

I would put out the shad trap out when I arrive, collect the trapped shad on my way home in the evening, freeze them, and repeat next trip.
