OUCH!! I don't have a CLUE!!! 8-)

Ok, actually it's a Kayak. I think it'd be neat for my Yak to have a name. It's a 12' Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120. It's kind of an Orangeish Yellow color (they call it Mango.) Thank's ya'll!! 8-)

Welcome!!! 8-)

I all of them but I spend most of my time in theese: Fishing Tackle/Rods, Reels, & Line Other fish species and Everything else. I'm just curious to see where most of the guys hang out. 8-)

LOL!!! ;D ;D 8-)

CAN I COME!!!!! Reds and Specks happen to be what I fish for most of the time. I mainly fish in Texas, but tactis remain the same everywhere. As far a Lures, I'd buy some Bass Assasian Texas Shads in the following colors: Electric Chicken (Silly name Serious results!) Plum/Chart. tail Morning Glory and Pumpkin/Lime/White tail. http://www.bassassassin.com/c/-Texas-Shads/bass-fishing-lures/CAT-CA8E115/ Also get some Berkley Gulp! Saltwater Shrimp. In New Penny and Natural Shrimp, and Nuclear Chicken colors. http://www.berkley-fishing.com/prod.php?k=75101&sk=75077&u=GSSHR4 Thoose are my favorite brand but any brands will work fine. Except GULP!!! You HAVE to get GULP!!! Fish them on 1/4oz. to 3/8 oz. Jig heads only for deeper water. 1/8 or even 1/16 oz will work good. You want the bait to kinda "free fall" that's when you'll get the most bites. Sure you won't cast as far, and it might feel like you can't really feel it, but free falling is what makes them bite. Give it kind of a "popping" action. Make it look like a shrimp. Just pop it a few times, reel, pop, etc. Also you might try freel lineing some Gulp! peeler crabs. If you have Bass topwaters, FISH THEM!!! Topwaters work for both fresh AND salt! My favorite brands are: Rapla: Skitter Walk Heddon: Super Spook, Super Spook Jr. and Popping Image. MirroLure: Top Dog and She Dog. Colors: Bone, Black/Chart., Clown (it's a gold body with a Red head.), Black, and Silver Mullet. Just "walk the dog" like you do for bass. I'll normally start out every morning with a top water for 30-45 mins. If no bites, I'll switch to a CORKY or a Jig. CORKYS: http://www.corkybandl.com/products.htm Any color works well, I like the Fat Boy Corky and Corky Devil. They also make Corky "nock offs" that work just as well. Look for them at the tackle store. I fish corkys mainly in the winter. Just cast it out, let it sink for 10-15 seconds, pop 2-3 times, sink, repeat. It's BORING as dirt but it WORKS!!! Rat-L-Traps work good too. Bascily any thing with Chrome. Your Bass Spinnerbaits will also work well along weed beds. You might want to try removing the skirts and/or putting a Bass Assassin on it. Spoons work good too just cast and retrive. Or if you're in deeper water let it flutter like you would for bass. If the lures aren't producing, or you just want a change of pace, try some Croaker, Mud Minnows or Shrimp and maybe some Menhaden (shad) Only thing with shrimp is most anything eats it. (which isn't bad when you can't get anything else to bite!! Hey, some "trash" fish are better than NO fish right?!) You can cacth them with a cast net or swing by the bait shop. Crabs will also work well for Reds. The key for winter is SLOW DOWN!!! Also if you can, Try some night fishing with lights. This can be VERY effective. Use the same baits, but I normally stick with the Jigs. One question, Do you have a boat or will you be bank fishing? Let me know if you have ANY questions at ALL. I'll be MORE than happy to answer them! Good luck and keep me posted!!!! 8-)

Actually I'm not that big a fan of Ugly Sticks. They're good for beginers or anglers on a budget. JMHO

American Rodsmiths H3 Titanium is a nice rod......... http://www.americanrodsmiths.com/Products/H3Titanium/H3TitaniumFreshwaterModels/tabid/77/Default.aspx I have the casting model but they are both EXCELLENT rods!! The price on there is just the MSRP. You'll pay a LOT less from a retailer.
