[quote ParrMark]Nice work from the dynamic duo! Glad somone rang the bell for you. I've gotta find out who does that and get them scheduled on a more regular basis. [

[#0000ff]I really wish I KNEW about scheduling the dinner bell thing. I just appreciate it when it happens.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Our experience yesterday was just a reinforcement of my belief that fishing is NEVER bad all day or everwhere on any given body of water. There will almost always be somebody catching fish, on something, somewhere. It is just a matter of finding active fish and serving them something they want. Or, on many occasions, finding inactive or neutral fish and stimulating a "reaction bite" with something flashy, noisy and/or flavorful. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]It is always helpful to have a good knowledge of the water you are fishing. If you know the bottom conditions, the fish species and their habits you are halfway home. But, having a good sonar and knowing how to interpret what you are seeing is the catalyst to putting it all together. Of course, having several lure boxes full of wild and wacky lures that the fish have never seen before doesn't hurt either.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Believe me, if I knew how to ring the dinner bell at will...or tell others how to do so...I would have retired wealthy a long time ago. Instead, I am retired on a fixed income and have to keep working at it on every fishing trip. Some are better than others.[/#0000ff]
