Fish at night and fish deeper water or the first and second drops, flats off the channels.

Welcome Zoom trick worms will catch fish any way you want to fish them. We like the watermellon/red in this area.

I have been fishing the Charlie Brewer slider since the late 70s when I was living in Alabama. It will sure break a slump.

Lake Conroe just north of Houston was devasted many years ago when they dumped thousands of grass carp. They ate everything in the lake and the fishing suffered for years. They have done it again this last year, just not as many. After they eat all the grass the fish get very dependable as to where they relocate and the fishing is great until they are devastated by fishing pressure and predatation of young of the year. The school is still out as to what type of senario we will have over the next few years. There is still grass in the lake, but the grass carp are working it over. Time will tell.

Anytime The Reel Mechanic speaks; Listen carefully and put it in your memory.

Baitcaster: Yes Spinning: Yes, get it cleaned all the above advice is dead on.

Still waiting for something. I'm not sure what. Maybe some proof or some action, or ....Maybe I should just forget about it like everyone else has...... I have not forgotten about it. Just waiting on the report.

I cannot help you, but wanted to welcome you to the forum.

Prayers sent. Keep your chin up, the medical field can do wonders with this type of issues.

That really sucks. Hope the auto insurance will replace most of it. Hope you had it all documented with the serial numbers.

The key words are BUY and PROVIDE. It is a shame but some want the distinction so bad they are willing to buy it. And that is exactly what they are doing. They are really only very good customers.

Same here on Rayburn and Toledo. You could pick and choose any number of tournaments on every weekend of the year.

You bet it does. Some Loretta Lynn too.

They are good units and are priced right. I have one and it works fine.

X3 or they have moved out away from the area you are able to reach from shore.

Thanks Catt. Nice post.

Welcome

From the look of that fish it is called good grass. I'm not sure either.

By all means purchase the house.

Yep.

I use to be young and dumb. Would not come off the water for any reason. Until I watched lightening strike a tree in the water less than 50 yds from me. I now come off the water when a storm is coming.

I have a bayou about 150 yards from my home that runs through the neighborhood. I lived here 7 years before I tried it out. I cannot tell you how many bass from 8" to 4lbs. I have caught out of it using 1/8oz spinnerbaits, 1/8oz traps and 4" trick worms. No one fishes that I know of but it is loaded with bass. I either fish it early or late and pay attention to any obstructions that will give the fish a way to get out of the current. One of my hot spots is a grocery basket someone stole from Kroger and shoved it off into the creek.

Congratulations on the great year. when you quit or refuse to learn you might as well put the rod down and sell off your equipment.

Snap hookset and the correct size and design of hook for the type of plastic you are using. I use straight shank hooks for most of my plastics in 3/0, 4/0, and 5/0. For wide body plastics I use wide gap hooks in 4/0, 5/0, and 6/0. On the smaller plastics I also use thin wire hooks as they will penetrate better than the thick wire hooks. For example while fishing a baby brushhog I will still fish the 3/0, and 4/0 thin wire hooks. I do not recall ever having a thin wire hook straightened out or opened up.

Look for the deeper water, cuts behind points(out of the current), and every cut you come to.
