Live Bait
Musky fisherman often soak a sucker behind the boat will they cast a second rod with artificial baits. Very doable for bass. I personally either fish artificialls 99% of the time or all live bait 1% if the time.

Do You Guys Believe In "custom Painted Crankbaits"?
I beg to differ. On Lake Erie fishing for smallmouth, who are sight predators one guy on a boat of two people fishing two rods each can kick the other guys a-- by using a color bait that for that particular day has greater visibility or better matches the bait of that particular day. Trust me that is how it is. Color does matter to sight predators based on water conditions and visibility. If you don't believe it ask A-Jay or 00 mod. Sometimes bass fisherman can learn from the experiences of other species fisherman. If that does not make any sense talk to the walleye guys. They know color does make a big difference. It all depends on what specieces you are fishing for. Walleye, muskies and smallmouth are all sight predators. Largemouth bass are not considered sight predators.

Close Encounter With Lightning
It is closer than you think How Far Away Is Lightning From Me?To estimate the distance between you and a lightning flash, use the "Flash to Bang" method: If you observe lightning, count the number of seconds until you hear thunder. Divide the number of seconds by five to get the distance in miles. Example: If you see lightning and it takes 10 seconds before you hear the thunder, then the lightning is 2 miles away from you (10 divided by 5 = 2 miles). If Thunder is heard The Lightning is... 5 seconds after a Flash 1 mile away 10 seconds after a Flash 2 miles away 15 seconds after a Flash 3 miles away 20 seconds after a Flash 4 miles away 25 seconds after a Flash 5 miles away 30 seconds after a Flash 6 miles away 35 seconds after a Flash 7 miles away 40 seconds after a Flash 8 miles away Since lightning can strike up to 10 miles from a storm, you should seek safe shelter as soon as you hear thunder or see lightning. Get to a safe location if the time between the lightning flash and the rumble of thunder is 30 seconds or less.

Skinny Bass
Sounds like a classic case of stunted bass from over population. Golf course ponds do not normally have any catch & kill bass . Small waters need some or many fish removed to keep a healthy population. Most fish under 15" need to be removed until a healthy population emerges.

Fishing In The Keys?
Tim you can forget all those lures and just stock up on a few buck tail jigs tipped with a piece of shrimp. This will catch almost all species.

What's The Best Reel You Have Ever Used?

The only time a custom paint is worth the price is when it replicates a bait forage that you can not find on a standard bait. Example, currently on the Great Lakes the hard bait manufactures have not provided a realistic goby colored pattern across the board.- Robin Williams And The American Flag

Low profile is the Antares HG Round reel is the Conquest 2014- Jokes - Let's Have Some Fun
sweet little lady decided to host the neighborhood block party in a big way. She wanted to serve her guests mushroom-smothered steak, but she had no mushrooms and no time to buy them. Her husband suggested, "Why don't you go pick some of the mushrooms that are growing wild down by the stream? "No, some wild mushrooms are poisonous." "Well, I see squirrels eating them and they're OK." So she picked a bunch and washed, sliced and sautéed them for her dinner. Then she went out on the back porch and gave Spot, their dog, a double handful. Spot ate every bite. All morning long, she watched the dog. The wild mushrooms hadn't affected him after a few hours, so she decided to use them. The meal was a great success. After everyone had finished, her daughter came in and whispered in her ear, "Mum, Spot is dead." Trying to keep her head about her, she left the room as quickly as possible, called the doctor and told him what had happened. The doctor said, "That's bad, but I think we can take care of it. I'll call for an ambulance and I'll be there as quickly as I can. We'll give everyone enemas and we'll pump out their stomachs and everything will be fine. Just keep them calm." Before long they started to hear the sirens as the ambulance tore down the road. The Paramedics and the doctor had their suitcases, syringes, and stomach pumps. One by one, they took each person into the bathroom, gave them an enema, and pumped out their stomach. After the last one was done the doctor came out and said, "Everything will be okay now," and with that he got into his luxury Maserati and drove away. The hosts and the guests were all weak and bumfuzzled, sitting around the living room, when the daughter came in and said to her mum….. OMG............."I just can't believe that guy!" "What guy?" Mom asked? "Well…….you know. The one who ran over Spot. The sumbitch never even slowed down."- Bear Scare

- Finally A Picture Worthy Fish
Definitely picture worthy.- Cheap Reliable Scale
Digital scales all have two weaknesses, moisture & weak batteries. Best to keep them dry as possible & change out the battery yearly. Spring scales only act up under extreme wet & cold, like icing. The repala scales are pretty good. The Accu Cull Digital Scale - $34.99 is really good & locks on the weight.- Opinions Please
