[cool][#0000ff]I gotta plead guilty to being creative and innovative. But, there are LOTS of things I have yet to find the time, conditions or motivation to work into my repertoire. After all, some things are illegal or immoral...not that this would stop me. Might slow me down...like putting barbed wire on the bannister railing.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]It is interesting to get feedback on what others prefer to use and why. After having moderated several fishing boards for the past few years I am still surprised at how many anglers post up "absolutes"...claiming that their lures/baits/tackle/methods are the ONLY way to catch fish. Often, somebody else chimes in right behind them offering entirely different advice.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The only thing I have been able to conclude is that you can probably catch fish on any given bait or lure...at some time and place...under some set of conditions. But, as we all come to believe, there are some of those things that work more often than others and become our "go to" program whenever we go fishing.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Never say never and "always" doesn't always apply. Those "truisms" are especially applicable to fishing. You need to go well equipped, with a variety of offerings, and then rely on past experience, good advice, basic skills and luck to make them work. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]In short, it does not matter if you have a "vast" collection of lures if you only have "half vast" angling skills.[/#0000ff]
