Hello Anglers,
The best boat docks are old and wooden and have many cross
braces under water. Check docks that have lights and rod
holders on the rail. These usually have brush piles. Very
good and silent boat control is needed to get close but not
spook the fish.
P.S. You can discuss this issue or any other topic in the new
Bass Matters forum. Check it out here...

Spooling Up Your Reels
From Extreme Bass Lures
Fishing with old line is a costly mistake. After use, abuse
and exposure to the elements, weathered line is weak and
thereby unreliable. The best, and least expensive, insurance
against broken lines and lost trophies is learning how to
change line properly, and doing it frequently.
Baitcasting Reels: Line on baitcasting equipment is loaded
by winding it to the top of the reel spool. Monofilament
manufacturers load their spools the same way. To prevent
line twist when transferring line from the supply spool to
the reel, take line from the top of the supply spool and
load it to the top of the reel spool.
To do this, simply slip a pencil through the center of the
supply spool and have a friend hold it. Keep the supply
spool in a vertical position, aimed at the reel. Keep
tension on the line as it's reeled on, so the spool is
filled evenly without loops or loose coils. Simple as that.
Spinning Reels: Spinning reels are a bit tricky to refill
because they operate on a different principle than baitcast-
ing equipment. Instead of winding line on a revolving spool,
a person uses a revolving bail which winds line around a
spinning reel's fixed spool. To avoid line twist, load a
spinning reel as described.
Hold the label of the supply spool toward the face of the
spinning reel spool and take in 15 cranks of line while
keeping tension on the line. Next, move the reel toward the
supply spool to see if the slack line twists. If it does,
eliminate twisting by reversing the supply spool before
loading the rest of the reel.

Spincasting Reels: Spincasting reels are loaded in the same
manner described for spinning reels, with one difference.
Stop periodically and remove the reel face to be certain the
reel isn't over filled. Too much line on a spincasting reel
will cause it to jam and tangle.
With all reels, fill the spool about 1/8th inch from the rim.
Less line will make casting difficult, if not impossible.
More line will cause the line to backlash or jump off the
spool in loose coils. Experts say line twist is the most
frequent complaint anglers have about their line. Actually,
the twist is a result of some mechanical action that occurs
after line is take from the supply spool.
A few line twisting factors include: improperly spooling
line, fishing with lures that spin line on retrieve, or
retrieving fouled lures. If new line is twisted, you can
untwist it by dragging it in the water behind a boat. In a
few minutes the line will return to its original condition.
Today's fishing lines are better than ever, though they
can't be expected to last indefinitely. Changing it regular-
ly and correctly, and you will spend more time fishing and
less time making up excuses for the big one that got away.

Do you think that having a Survivor show centering around

FISHING JOKES CORNER

Two policemen knock on a guys door.
A man answers, "Yes?"
"Good evening Mr. Smith. I'm afraid that we have some
terrible news, and some great news about your missing
wife," said one of the cops.
"Whats the bad news?" asked Mr. Smith.
"Scuba divers found your wifes body at the bottom of the
bay this morning." reply the officers, solemnly.
"This is terrible," sobbed Mr. Smith, "What could possibly
be the good news?"
"Well," answered one of the cops, "when they pulled her
up, the divers found 3-30 lb lobsters and a dozen blue
crabs still hanging on to her body.
"You people are sick," replied Mr. Smith, disgustedly,
"where is the body? I still need to identify it."
"I'm afraid you can't see the body yet," says the cop,
"they won't be bringing her back up again 'til later this
afternoon."
