"(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 !!

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.
