Is this wrong?
I may not flat out lie,but I'm not going to tell them EVERYTHING that took a lot of effort to find out for myself
-
Casting out drop shot?
yeah,That's the way that I mainly use it.It works great in shallow,grassy areas,too.It keeps the bait free from getting fouled up.I also use it the traditional way successfully.
-
Fall Fishing, creeks or points?
I fish points leading into creek arms and coves.I also fish backs of coves/creek arms and mouths of both.I have lots of luck throwing spinnerbaits and pitching soft plastics into laydowns along the banks of coves/creekarms.

When you get time,go and figure it out.

What brand reel?
I use Abu Garcias,Quantums,and a couple of Shimano spinning reels.I voted Abu because I have more of them(10) than the others.

favorite Boat MOTORS?????
I have a 40 hp Yamaha that I bought in the spring of '05,and it is a great motor.I've had no problems with it,and it will haul a$$ on my little 15 ft glass Terry.I've owned a Johnson and an Evinrude,and they were excellent motors.I like this one better.If I ever get a big rig,I'll go with the E-Tec.I've heard lots of good things about them.

Fishing the weeds...
I fish a 300 acre lake that gets loaded with underwater grass this time of year(also some floating grass pads).Along with the topwaters and shallow running cb's,I like to CAST a drop shot rig.It keeps my bait grass free and the weight slides easily through the grass.
-
what time do you guys get out there?
At this time of year,I want to be on the water ready to fish about 15-30 minutes before first light.When it cools up ,I'll wait until 6:30-7:00 AM before I start.

Vick..............
I don't know if he's guilty or not(although it looks pretty evident to any 3 year old),but I'm a dog lover and detest any coward that beats,tortures,or kills a dog because it didn't win a dog fight.I think we're dealing with scum of the earth.

Pro's and fishing nets
I like the no net rule.I mean, come on FLW,grow a pair.

Jerkbaits
I like 'em in cool or cold weather.I like a suspending Rogue and a Live Pointer.

Favorite creature bait
I like to flip a Baby Brush Hog and a Brush Hog in Watermelon Candy.
-
Most Overrated lures....
I'd say $15-$25 hardbaits myself.I own a few,and they're good baits that catch bass.I catch as many or more on the $5-$7 hardbaits.
-
Best Crank Baits?
I think Norman CB's are the best.I also like Rapala Shad Rap and DT series.
-
Crank color?
Chartreuse with black or blue back,red or brown crawfish,and pearl.

What is the most versatile lure?
T-rigged plastics seem to be the most versatle lure.

Minn Kota or Motorguide?
I've always used MK,and I've always gotten every pennies worth of use out of them.
-
Favorite Freshwater Fishing TV Show?
I really like just about any on bass fishing.I really like to watch "The Bassmasters" on Elite Series events(especially when KVD does well).
-
water skiers/jetskiers
The skiers,jet skiers,and pleasure boaters have just as much right to be there as I do,but I don't have to like it ! Fishing surely suffers when they are out racing up and down the lake.That's one of the reasons that I fish early,late,and at night.
-
Do you hunt?
I hunted for 35 years then gave it up to bass fish year 'round.My youngest son wants to hunt,so I'll be out in the woods with him for deer mainly and a little squirrel hunting before deer season opens.
