    I inadvertently started this in Swap Gas. (Mods delete, if you can)

    but here you go boys. Leave your outdoorsy experience dealing with blue fish, mud fish, swordfish and “dad hates me because I can’t fish” comments here. And let’s leave the recruiting threads to recruiting.

    I set up a new hunt spot yesterday. It was hot and tiring but worth every minute. Made some sour corn for the hogs. Once they’re cleared out, the deer will come just in time for September.

    Does anyone here do any slow pitch jigging? I'm opening an online slow pitch jig business called Killa Slow Jigs. I have a small Facebook page now and I should have a website by sometime in June or July. My prices appear to be the lowest of any jig seller in the USA. Killa Slow Jigs, check us out!!!

    Looking forward to hunting season this year. On my little 25 acres we’ve seen a ton of deer and turkey.

    I’ll check it out. Both the guys I took out were jigging most of the day. I’d take a moment from holding up and drop a live one down, I’m too worn out to be yanking all day.

    I will say I enjoyed one of the greatest nights of bass fishing a man could have at Lake Alice one mid February (6 bass over 9 lbs in 2 hours). In between dodging the Gainesville Police officers since it is verboten to even consider fishing Lake Alice and keeping an eye on the many pairs of glowing eyes 20 feet away we had an unbelievable time. Next night same time, same place and same lures we got skunked...not even one bite and I have never understood either side of that fishing equation.

    Oddly enough on the second night at about 2am I was treated to likely the three stupidest human beings on the planet (FSU grads excluded of course) who managed to walk by us with their rods raised high and wade neck deep into the cattails and walk right out of sight in pitch black darkness....I assume it was so the police wouldn't catch them but for god sake there is a whole bunch worse to catch you neck deep in Lake Alice at that hour. We didn't stay around to see how many of the three returned but that is a big pair of stones to go neck deep in the reeds day or night in that lake.
