My friend told me to use split shot weights as drop shot sinkers? Why? I use the kind of weights where you just pin the line in the needle like hole.

I caught a big fish in the lily pady on a topwater, but I get snagged a lot. Are there ways to make you top waters weedless, or are there weedless topwaters, besides the plastic frogs, rats, floting worms... I want to be able to use a propbait or chugger. ???

Get some senkos and fish them wacky if you can.

Of course they do. I think that one of the best cover to look for.

I don't think they've gotten smaller, just not as much fish and they don't like to bite as much as they use to.

Maybe it was just that day.

I use any color hook, I don't see any difference. I use a 3/o hook, I rig it weedless and try not to use wieghts. I do a weak jerk retrive.

I went fishing yesterday and caught spawning fish in 63' f water.

Yeah me, I've never got my tacklebag and my monthly mag. they said in my membership package in the mail thing thqat they were a little slow and they would give it to me later in my life. :'(

Fish finders are useless for finding fish. It's good for finding the depth and bottom structures. Live bait is not cheating, it's a skill and you just need to know how and when to use them. You don't just let it sit there. It can be very productive too.

I really don't know what to say... It should work with the improved clinch knot. I go salmon fishing using 30 pound test and never had this problem. Try leaving more line at the end of the knot and don't cut the access line to close to the knot, leave about half an inch. If you still can't get the line all the way tight, try the buzzbomb knot. It is a preety good knot, but not as good as some of the other ones you could be tieing. Or you could try buying new line.

Nick I totaly know what you mean. Just the thought of it makes me angry.

I'd catch one ten, just so I could take a picture and brag to all my fishing friends, besides you don't catch 10 pounders that often in Washington.

That's nice.. I've never caught that big of a bass. I've seen some swim right under my dock and bounced the hook on top of its head and it wouldn't move or bite. Just slowly swam on. Probably a 10 lbs, maybe the fish hate me. :'(

Wow. That's great! I really like this site.
