I fish it alot. The fish in my picture is a Jackson Spotted Bass. You have got to go deep. Fish the long main lake points and the humps and ledges. Also skipping deep docks works great as well.

Welcome, It's great to have ya.

Man that one looks every bit of ten pounds. What did it weigh? ;D If I remember correctly, Fluke's big 'un in that pic weighed 9.96. 9.98 Thank you very much. :

Here's mine. :-?

Well, well Frank. Welcome. I grew up in Covington. I take it you spend a little time on Varner, Oconee and all the other great lakes in the area.

Irene is at my house tonight. To the original poster. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Read the FAQ's. There you will find why we lock threads about specific lures.

OK first of all trying to read that made my head hurt. Please check your spelling and use capital letters and some punctuation. Now as for your problem. It is the exact reason I started coming to this site four years ago. My best advise is stay involved with this forum and read all the articles starting with the ones in the "For Beginners" section. Then come back here and ask some specific questions. You'll look back on this in several months and be amazed at all the things you have learned. Good luck and have fun.

The things that I'd try is either a more natural color or a smaller lizard. If I didn't have either of those then I'd go with something with less action like a trick worm.

It's to big to be fished like a regular trick worm. It works the best when dragged on the bottom with a weight. T-Rigged or C-Rigged.

WOW!!! Welcome back Roger. We were worried about you.

She's at my house tonight.

He stopped answering.

That's just awesome Tanner. Congrats.

Online is the best way to get it if you don't live in the Southeast. If you live in GA then you should be able to find it. You probably live closer to JJ's then any of us. lol Another store that has it is R&L Tackle at Lake Jackson. That's not to far from you.

The very first thing is how to hook a worm. Take a look at this video that I made last year.

I have one in the boat just in case I hook a big fish. It's no fun trying to get a big striper into the boat without one. I also use it when money is on the line.

Just wait till your second and third application. It only gets better as the old wax works it's way out and the BTS takes over.

I've have tried several times to get advice on Logan Martin. I don't think there is anyone on BR who fishes it regularly. It's one of my favorite Spotted bass lakes. There are some Magnums in there. Good luck this morning.

That's awesome, Congrats

I wish they would restock the stores that they are keeping open. I went to the one in Columbia, SC this week and I couldn't find anything that I was looking for. The shelves seemed empty. I know that they filed for bankruptcy but you can't make money if you don't have anything to sell.

Red + Yellow = Orange. If I had Red and Chartreuse then I would have Orange. So I voted Red.

The original Mend-it dried out because of the bottle they used. They have changed the bottle and there shouldn't be a problem with it now.

We are proud, yes...but you can't beat free gore-tex gear!!! One of the best things about the Army is the free camping/fishing gear!!! Untill you ETS and then you have to give it all back. Or should I say "You are supposed to give it all back." lol

Correct me if I'm wrong but this study was preformed on only one lake right? How could that represent every lake in the country? There is one thing that I have learned about Scientists. The money for studies like this come from the Government. Therefore they can be manipulated by polititions and special interest groups. The response in #3 makes me question the motive of the person or people who conducted the study. From that statement they are suggesting that we put a stop to all forms of hunting animals as well as fishing during the spawn. I wonder what special interest groups they might be affiliated with.

Unpegged. But there are some things to keep in mind. If you get a hit on the initial fall you need to sweep set the hook to the side like a C-rig. This is because the weight is probably several inches up the line and you need to keep the line as straight as possible to get a solid hookset. If you get a hit after you have pulled the line tight then go ahead and set it over your shoulder. An offset hook or a straight shank round bend will also give you the best chance for solid hook penetration.
