  1. Click on the links tab at the top of the page.
  2. Yep, If you can find good cover on or near good structure you will have a great spot that will hold fish most of the time. There are rare times when fish are holding just to structure. For example a ledge. But if you want to find that spot within a spot look for a pile of rocks or something that has fallen off of that ledge. That will be the spot that holds the majority of the fish.
  3. Ben, You are axactly right. These are two fishing terms that are often confused by even the most experienced fishermen.
  4. Points and Humps. Other my young friend, Weeds, Wood, and Rocks are cover not structure.
  5. Be Very careful. If they ask for any money up front run away as fast as you can. Do a complete investigation before you invest any money in it. And make sure someone hasn't already patented it.
  6. THIS JUST SHOWED YOUR IGNORANCE!
  7. Google DelMart Molds.
  8. It's not at all inappropriate. I think that is a very legitimate concern. I've wondered that many times myself. I have spent the last year trying to find one that even comes close to this site and I haven't been able to find one. .
  9. BPS has a VanDam Video Special. You get all three for the price of one. ''Proven Spinnerbait Techniques,'' ''Changing Conditions'' and ''Pitchin' to Heavy Hitters.'' http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catalog.TextId?hvarTextId=80198&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=SearchResults
  10. It's expensive. Bass can eat 3 times their body weight a day and it needs to be a variety of stuff. They are more sensitive to change in their tank then the fish you get at the pet store. You really need to know your stuff before trying it. Also make sure it's legal in your state.
  11. By Brother-in-Law has a 30ft camper he pulls behind his truck. He swears by those magnetic sticks that you put on your hitch and toung. You line them up as you are backing up and when one of them falls over, the toung is dead on the hitch. He says they work 100% of the time. They are called Hitchin' Rods and the cost around 20 bucks.
  12. That looks great. May I suggest a bilge pump in place of that bailing bucket.
  13. Then best advise I can give you about learning how to pitch is start with the lure just below the hand holding the reel. So if you are holding the rod and reel in your right hand. Hold the lure in your left on a tight line and bring it to a point just below and on the opposite side of the handle from your right hand before starting your swing. The rest will best be explained by watching a video. I know I have seen one somewhere. Let me see if I can find it.
  14. I don't care who you are. That's funny. I would ask him to come fish Varner with me.
  15. Off topic replies have been moved to [link=http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1153010083]This Thread[/link]
  16. I built a covered parking area for my Father-in-Law a few years ago. His boat is a 20. You want to have at least a 26ft depth unless you get a toung that retracts. Then you can cut it to 24ft. This gives you enough room to be able to slip around the back of the boat and you are less likely to punch a hole in the back of your garage with the prop. It also leaves room for a boat upgrade to a 21ft.
  17. You have to find the fish. About 20% of a lake holds 90% of the fish. So If the fish aren't where you are. Change location and/or depth. Find the baitfish and the bass might just be close by. In this hot weather with hot water temps many bass will move to deep off shore structure and hold there.
  18. I fish out of a 14ft Grumman Jon boat. I love it. It's more stable than most boats it's size. It is solid.
  19. Lake Varner Georgia with Randall.
  20. Did you read that Randall. Uncharted. If they only had the charts we have.
  21. 29.7 last year on top water at Clarks Hill Lake in Georgia.
  22. I fish a lake that is back filling allmost every day. The key is when they are drawing water pay close attention to how deep the fish are holding. When they stop drawing water and start to back fill take out a crankbait that runs that deep and cast the open water within 100 yards of where you were catching them before. The fish will usually pull out of the current and suspend at that exat depth just off of the cover and they of course will be facing up current. If you are fishing a point and they start to back fill the fish will pull out directly off the point and suspend and the same depth as the structure they were on when they were holding on the point.
