  1. look in the new sticky and it is there dd11
  2. Thats a loaded Question!!! While it is good to stick with a few lures in the beginning, you should most definetly expand to become a more versatile fisherman. If you start with two types, i would start with 1 moving bait (crank or spinnerbait) and 1 slow bait (worms, jigs etc) I will try to attack your question Topwater This would include poppers, chuggers, pencils, frogs, and buzzbaits. These are usually thrown at the start of the morning and during lowlight conditions. They are a great search bait Spinnerbaits A skirted safty pin lure with rotating blades that supposedly represents a bait fish. In muddy water, use a Colorado blade. This will be basically round. In clear water, use a willow blade.This is a long skinny blade that puts more flash than vibration in the water. They say you should start throwing spinnerbaits when the water warms to about 55 degrees. They work great in woody areas Cranks A minnow bait with a bill that dives to a specified depth. I love cranking. The key with this lure is to try to contact somthing whether it be a stump rock or even the bottom. the strike usually comes right after the contact Jerkbaits A slender crankbait basically. Vary your retrieve of jerks and pauses providing eratic action until the fish tell you which retrieve is best. Worms Can be fished several ways -Texas Rig -Carolina Rig -Wacky -Drop shot -flippin -and many more!!!! Read the articals on the site. They will give you far more info than i can provide in a paragraph Jigs I recomend watching LBH's video. He explains the four best ways to fish a jig. When jigging, remember that most strikes will come on the fall. So be a line watcher and know the fall rates of your jig to know the approximate time your jig will hit the bottom. If you count your jig down to 15 ft with a fall rate of a foot per second and it goes slack at six, SET THE HOOK. Jigs are hard to learn but once you get the hang of them, they are very consistent. Extra Tips: -You are a beginner, dont be discouraged of not catching fish in your first outings -read the articles on this site -It can get confusing but just keep trying -Have fun. Dont just fish to fish in the beginning. Relax, take in your surroundings and the serenity of the lake Good luck dd11

  12. always use mono for cranks, you need the strecth your suffix should suffice swivels could potentially help w/ that prob i would maybe recommend getting some 12-15lb line, thats what i throw all my cranks on. im also starting to expirament with flouro for cranks

  22. Hydrogen is extremely inefficient. To get the hydrogen that is used in alternative energies comes from water. Great right? In order to get the hydrogen separated from the water, a strong electrical current is needed. This gets charged through the water creating H+ ions and O2- ions. The electricity used to separate the ions comes from coal, which when burned pollutes tons and tons of sulfur, which is bad. Sorry to bore you Anyway, when I grow up I would like to be a Environmental Lawyer.
  23. you could also work some extra math into it. For example, your posts on fishing sites, as well as your boat at tourneys and such would stay the same. But, assuming that 1 in 6 ppl fish(look up the actual #) divide all other numbers that aren't related to fishing by 6 to give you a better perspective on the amount of impressions. Just a thought
  24. Its called A MUST READ written by santeebasser in the resume section
  25. Great victory guys. Way to shut down the enviro nuts and utility goons. that was a needed victory and will show other lake management groups that a closure is not the answer
