Wow. That turned out awesome Glenn. Great video and great questions. Thanks

I've helped more people at my Dicks than I've seen their employees do. It's sad. I'm pretty sure you will shine if you are just there to answer questions and steer beginners in the right direction. It's not about sales it's about costomer service.

A #1 or 1/0 Octopuss or Mosquito hook will work just fine if not better than a drop shot hook.

Shoot!! I wish I had a few for my tournament in Texas next week.

They have a full field of 200 boats. How cool is that!!!!

Looks more like Canada given all those spruce trees. Definitely not from GA. But cool none the less.

I also dumped all mine when I got involved with Bass Resource. It has always had more than I could ever get out of a magazine.

First of all Welcome to BassResource. Frogs - Braid Cranks and Spinnerbaits and topwater - Mono or Co-Poly I like some stretch in my line when using Cranks, SB, and topwater because it makes it a little more forgiving on hooksets witch results in more hookups. If I need my line to float I just rub some wax on the last three feet or so. I use Fluorocarbon on all my sinking baits like jigs, t-rigs, jig-heads an so on.

Oh my beloved Allatoona. That's where I cut my teeth on big lakes. Welcome to Bass Resource and welcome to the family. We are glad to have you here.

You can do that if you use a stiffer rod and line that's heavier than 8lb test because when you texas rig a worm it requires a harder hookset than with an open hook.

Great solution. I also use mosquito hooks along with octopus hooks.

I can't wait till you answer the text I sent three days ago. No excuses.

I made the change a few years ago. I got away from always trying to get the longest cast. Now my philosophy is to make the shortest cast I can get away with. My hook-up rate went way up.

WOW!!!! You are lucky. Now go help your neighbors.

Prayers sent for you and your dad.

The only place I know of to catch peacock is on Oahu. There aren't any lakes on The Big Island. The Kona coast is legendary for great fishing. Get a guide for a day and have a blast.

As soon as I saw it, I wondered who would take the first shot! Well played, Wayne. ;D Sorry Gator! After three years of ribbing from you guys I've gotten used to it. lol And for those who don't know. That 9.98 is still my personal best. :

Sometimes, Yes When found in the same lake Millfoil starts growing in early spring and bass will move into it to find something to eat. As the spring turns to summer you will notice that the Hydrilla is growing a lot faster and taller than the millfoil and in some cases it will choke the millfoil out. As it heats up the water looses its ability to hold oxygen the Hydrilla, and what millfoil is left will be producing oxygen so the bass will move into it to stay alive. Whatever plant is producing the best oxygen and holding the most food will be holding the most bass. I won a late summer tournament with Senko77 a few years ago and the pattern was simple. I spent three days dragging a 1oz jig and pulling up Millfoil. Most of the Millfoil in the lake was dead but when I found a patch that was green the bass were stacked in there. I didn't need to catch a fish in practice to know where the fish would be during the tournament. I found four spots like this in my area of the lake and we ended up with a 25.8lb sack with a 9.98 kicker. 2nd place was 12+lbs.

It looks like it uses Google Maps, Terraserver Maps for it's images. Pretty cool. I can find them all on one site.

Eurasian Milfoil Hydrilla

Wecome from another GA fisherman. To find level you need to put the boat in the water. You want the deck to be level with the the water line.

I'm a fishing guide and fishing bum during the week and an x ray tech on the weekend.

Bobby, Check out Guntersville State Park. Their Hotel is awesome and they have a good boat ramp.

In the heat of the summer small lakes loose their ability to hold usable oxygen due to high water temps. The fish will move around untill the find oxygen. Find where the water is entering the lake. This will be where the most oxygen is.

Two or three days a week.
