Next I bait my rods, staggering them atrepparttar depth I seerepparttar 116013 fish. Ifrepparttar 116014 fish are up high, above 10 feet, I use a balloon and live shad on two rods. The other four rods will have half live and half cut shad, which I will suspend overrepparttar 116015 fish, continuously moving aroundrepparttar 116016 marker untilrepparttar 116017 first strike occurs. Inrepparttar 116018 warmer monthsrepparttar 116019 bite will usually occur on live shad. The colderrepparttar 116020 water,repparttar 116021 better that cut bait seems to work.

Keep movingrepparttar 116022 depth of your baits up and down according to what your locator is telling you. An easy way to determinerepparttar 116023 depth of your bait is to measurerepparttar 116024 distance betweenrepparttar 116025 first guide and your rod’s reel. My rods are two feet from reel torepparttar 116026 first guide so when I pull out twenty sections of line between my reel andrepparttar 116027 first guide, my bait will be approximately 40 feet deep. Staggerrepparttar 116028 depth of your bait so that you know how deep each is. When you get your first strike, move your other rods to that depth. If no strikes occur within 30 minutes move to another structure. I have set onrepparttar 116029 same ledge for many hours and caught fish, but I will usually have to move after catching 5 to 10 active fish. If you do not have a trolling motor you can use anchors, but it requires many sessions of heaving up heavy anchors and can soon killrepparttar 116030 fun of ledge fishing. When water is at its coldest,repparttar 116031 anchor method will work better due torepparttar 116032 inactivity ofrepparttar 116033 fish below.

In other words,repparttar 116034 warmerrepparttar 116035 waterrepparttar 116036 fasterrepparttar 116037 fish will spook out from under your boat. The colderrepparttar 116038 waterrepparttar 116039 less chancerepparttar 116040 fish will want to move away due to their comfort zone inrepparttar 116041 water column.

Stan Lee, Even the Comic Book Great Ones Have Problems

Written by Dave Gieber


Continued from page 1

As luck would have it, a federal judge agreed and ruled in favor of Lee. How much monetary compensation does this mean? Well to put it in perspective,repparttar two Spider- Man movies thus far, have reaped onrepparttar 116012 order of 800 million dollars apiece, in world wide ticket sales. This settlement could mean tens of millions of dollars for Lee, butrepparttar 116013 battle is not over. Marvel, will quite probably appealrepparttar 116014 verdict andrepparttar 116015 case may be tied up inrepparttar 116016 courts for years.

Now don't go feeling too badly for Stan Lee. He is still pulling down a salary from Marvel onrepparttar 116017 order of a million dollars. Still not to shabby in my mind. And Lee has mixed feels because he has been loyal to Marvel for 60 years. To have his lifelong employer trying to, shall we say, stiff him, for being so loyal, I'm sure, does hurt. Had it not been for Lee, Marvel may not have been inrepparttar 116018 financial position they are today.

At 82, Stan Lee does have a comfortable and successful life. And if even his settlement is held up inrepparttar 116019 courts for years, Stan wonrepparttar 116020 first round. He didn't bow down torepparttar 116021 corporate hammer. Just another "Joe working class hero" yelling out, hey guys, let's play byrepparttar 116022 rules.
