Sometimes a little bit of both. I think she might have been seeing a few guys at the same time, she was a really funky girl. Some things from your past are better when you speak in general terms, and try not to remember too much. You just gave me some nasty flashbacks.

you guys are twisted.


Hey anyone catch those gizzards on anything other than trebles? Can you catch them using shad darts?

[Rip-Plugger]

I wish,,,they do not hit anything.
they are bottom filter feeders.they feed on the thin layer of mud,straining it for microscopic vegetation and animals.
I he seen them up to about 7 pounds.

Shad, bunker, or herring? Don't you guys have herring that winter in the housatonic? I read an article here that said the bass stack up in an unnamed place up there, you can catch em in the coldest weather by drifting the channels, or something like that. Nothing huge, but you can catch double or triple digits if you hit the right spot, boat is needed.

thats right DS,
if you remember my buddy[Steve Franco] thats like a brother to me that caught the CT. record bass back in 92,he has caught them through the ice on that river many times.
I believe there is a fully functional spawning population there.you can catch fully pregnant females there in early april and very late march!
