I've always been an Ambassaduer man.They're not as high tech and as advanced;just a good,solid reel.I'm fine with a 5500.

Sorry about the screwup.They are red with a wide streak of black down the back,and yes,they really do catch bass.

I don't have a thing against Gary Y.He invented the lure so he can charge what he wants.I use Tiki-stiks because they are more affordable.

Welcome!The previous posters couldn't have said it better.

If not I need to visit a psychiatrist,cuz I've been posting on it fer the last 6 months...Lol

SProg is my kinda basser.Culprit 7" Red shad is my most productive plastic.Buy a bag of 'em.While you're at it,buy a bag of Culprit grape shad.It's # 2 in my book.

Welcome ,Wallz.I'm sure you'll enjoy this forum.There are a lot of anglers who know their stuff.I've learned quite a bit.

Yeah,topwater baits early and late.

I'd say a solid 6.During certain times,I might even go up a notch to a 7.I've been bassin' on and off for 30 years.I have a decent bassboat to fish out of with the electronics.The problem with me is that I do it only for fun.I have no illusions of being a tournament angler.Although I can worm,crankbait,jig, etc.I just like fishing lowlight situations with topwaters,jerkbaits,and spinnerbaits.

A 25 HP Yamaha will scoot you on down the lake,and it does come in a tiller model.It'll run you around $2100.

Yes ,they do school.Last fall I chased three seperate schools.I'd wait for the shad to bust the surface,then motor over and rip a jerkbait through.Each school's size was different.One school were yearlings,one was one pounders,and the third was a little bigger that the one pounders.caught eleven in about 30 minutes.

Thanks for the help,guys.

That's some good stuff,guys! I gotta get with the program on the C-rig.I have a question.When setting the hook is it similar to the way you do it with a T-rig or is it more of a sweeping motion?

I like to fish like KVD,power fishing and throwing a thousand casts.Lately,I've been doing a lot of Carolina-rig fishing.I guess you could call it the"power " fishing of soft plastics.

I much prefer fishing in a boat,but I had my best day(14 bass-smallest one was 2 lbs;hooked 7 more but they threw the bait) fishing on shore.Caught these bass in 1 1/2 hours.

Bass will eat bass fry ,and yes baby bass pattern c-baits are working right now for me.

Until I got my new outboard,just about every trip was a horror show.

I guess if you're into tournament bassin' you need a big money rig.I would bet most members of this forum just fish for fun.I know I do.Basically,all you need is something to get you there and back.You'll also need a good trolling motor.I've got an old 15 ft. glass boat that I traded an old 30-30 rifle for.I put a new 25 HP Yamaha and a new MK All-Terrain TM on it and I'm ready to go.

Mudd,that really puts things in perspective.Thanks for this post.

Welcome! This is a forum with nice people and MUCH Bassin' knowledge.

I fish early and late.Also ,I fish at night.

Yeah,I hear ya ,brother.Caught one this morning in 3 hours of fishing !

I fish from a boat and love it.Sometimes I fish off the bank before I go to work(to save time launching and loading the boat) and I love that too.Although I think you can cover a lot more water using a boat,My best day this year was a morning that I fished off of the bank.

Mac,you have my respect.It takes a big man.
