Just got back from BPS..what'd I miss?

Stopped by Mack's discount tackle in Lindale on my way home from work. picked up some Mister Twister Exude 4" super lizards in red shad and black/blue flake/ bluue tail and some 6.5" exude nightcrawlers in chart. pepper red, catalpa pearl, and plum, all for .99 a pack. also picked up some weedled finesse hooks that cost as much as all my worms combined. think they were gamakatsu

Hello, my name is Ed, and I am a tackle-ho.......

Just got a box in from Cabelas, Strike King Pro Model Cranks for $3.99 each. I tried but had to buy a few.

Now I need to go to Academy to see if there is anything I cannot live without.

I bought 5 Bandit Crankbaits for $10.00 today. I think I missed a meeting or 2.

LFT line was on 50% clearance at the garland store.... I had gift cards!!!

Ouuuhhhhhhhhh...Giftttt Caaaaarrrrds! That's like finding MONEY IN THE STREET!!

i think my bait monkey has a tapeworm.

I can proudly say I can now do BPS without buying a thing, where are those 100 MPH suits at ??

Everybody talking about how they got some good deals..man is Academy open yet.......I need a fix bad

Feed me!!

I tried the twelve step program and now on step 30 and put in a call to Dr. Drew! Help me!!!!!!!!!!! I go to Academy or Gander Mountain everyday just about. Gander Mountain is 1/2 mile from my house and Academy about a mile.

The only 12 step program for the baitmonkey is those that you take with entering the tackle shop, while shopping for what you think you may, could, should, possibly need at some distant unknown point of the year, on some lake you may or may not fish.

You guys need to know the 48 hour rule

Now this is not a rule I came up with so I can not take credit. This is from a radio talk show in Minneapolis/St Paul by the name of Garage Logic and the guy that invented it is named Joe Schouray. I did change two words for the purpose of bass fishing.


This rule was established on March 5, 2002 and is as follows: As a reward for a fellow sneaking new and inexpensive lures into the garage and also escaping any female wrath that might accrue from said purchase, the fellow may make up any story he wishes after 48 hours regarding the acquisition. In other words, she gets 48 hours to notice the purchase and complain. If she misses her window, you are home free. "This old thing," you might say, when, after a week, she finally does notice, "that thing has been here since July."

I'm going to buy a shock collar that goes off every time I get within 25 feet of the front door of Academy or BPS. Cleaned out my tackle bag Sunday and I'm working on all the carp I have in the garage tomorrow. I was shocked at what I had "extras" of and was still buying them.

I think you nailed it.
