We are bass fishermen - we talk bass fishing. There will be no gimmicks, no 'Informercials', and no excuses given for NOT catching fish.
Fish are dumb as rocks. 'Catching' is simply a matter of 'finding', and then presenting the proper lure to make them strike. Excuses for not catching are just that - 'excuses'.

IF BASS FISHING
IS YOUR PASSION,
THIS SITE IS FOR YOU!

| There are 4 great 'truths' of fishing: |
|
1. Catching fish is easy;
finding them is the hard part
2. Dry lures catch darn few fish
3. The harder you fish, it seems the
'luckier' you get
4. Momma always said to 'be safe'

OLD FISHIN' TIPSTER'S NEWS!!
SPECIAL FISHING UPDATES & INTERESTING ITEMS
Now Get 25% Bonus Lures When You Order the Great RIPPIN' Stick Soft Jerk Bait!!
Such a deal I got from my manufacturer of the great 'RIPPIN' Stick soft sinking jerk bait. I did not ask for it, but he gave me a 25 percent bonus in lures on my last restocking order.
So, I am passing it right along to you folks. You still have to pay the shipping (boy, these annual USPS hikes are a pain), but an additional 25 percent of the lure order will be included FREE. EXAMPLE: You order 100 'RIPPIN' Sticks and you get 125. All you have to do is pay the additional shipping for 25, which is $2.90 for the 5.5-inch lures. If you only want 50 'RIPPIN' Sticks, you'll actually get 63 lures. Just add $1.25 extra in S&H charges.
This bonus, and this sale special, applies only to the 5.5-inch and 4-inch 'RIPPIN' Sticks in ANY color except Chartreuse. It will remain in effect until the present stocks are exhausted.
Because these total amounts won't fit the PayPal payment systems algorithms in our Outdoor Store, you will need to order just a bit differently, if you want to use your credit card. Just go to PayPal and log in as usual. Then, use the SEND MONEY feature and send the total (with the additional S&H to my email address of jporter@stickmarsh.com. In the 'NOTES' block on the last PayPal page, simply tell me what you want in terms of color and quantity.
Or, you can send a check directly to me at:
Jim Porter
230 Starry Night Path
Murphy, NC 28906
I will continue this special until the present stock is exhausted.

The PERFECT Crappie Jig now in 1/8th oz. sizes!
The PERFECT Crappie Jig, absolutely the best in the World, now comes in two sizes: the original 1/16th oz. size and the new 1/8th oz.
In the size so popular with many crappie anglers, the 1/8th ounce version allows deeper presentations, while maintaining lure control and 'feel' of the lure. Being heavier, it also casts better in windy conditions, plus it allows the use of heavier line when the situation dictates (such as when snagging is expected).
The pricing and colors available are the same as the 1/16th oz. original PERFECT Crappie jig, so you can order right off the Outdoor Store jig section today. Just specify your size choices when you specify the colors desired.

Jim Porter Introduces His New 'PLANING BULLET!
Clumsy, awkward, bulky, cumbersome planing boards are now totally OBSOLETE! Jim's new "PLANING BULLET' is a remarkable invention that provides the angler complete and total control in the precise placement of live bait and artificials lures.
Live shiners can be precisely trolled out AWAY from the boat (to keep from spooking the fish) and guided right along a grass line, shore area, or in-and-around stumps and grass beds. The 'PLANING BULLET", being small and compact, also funtions as a bobber to indicate strikes and fish-on situations.
The giant Stick Marsh crappie we found inhabitating shallow water shell beds on submerged levees would spook if we got the boat too close. With the 'PLANING BULLET', we are able to slow troll minnows or the PERFECT Crappie Jig right along the top of the levees for any distance we like, while holding the boat 15-25 feet off the levee top.
In the smallmouth and spotted bass habitats of our North Carolina fishing grounds, the small size 'PLANING BULLET' proved perfect for finesse Float-N-Fly presentations, with the ability to totally control the presentations and move the rig precisely along shorelines and breaks while holding the boat well out from the presentation area.
The 'PLANING BULLET' is easy to use and is bi-directional. That is, it will plane either right or left, as you like. All you have to do is flip your line to turn the device to plane the opposite direction.
So, get rid of the out-of-date, bulky planing boards and go modern. See our Outdoor Store for the revolutionary 'PLANING BULLET'.
Wow, the fantastic SWIMMING WORM is now available in the great JUNEBUG color!!!Go to the OUTDOOR STORE for details.
