Nice job getting this far - but we both know you'll never give in and this is in fact only a drop in the bucket. The fact that you have announced you're intentions here is not only a bold move on your part but also solid indication that you are ready to move on from this and that you have no intention of letting yourself down. The self-confidence that you will gain from this experience will transfer into all aspects of your life. The single most positive aspect from this will be the improvement of your our self worth. This will motivate you to change those three words above your avatar - because it's not true. A-Jay

No experience fishing the bait but by the looks of it - It's Killer. A-Jay

What you're asking does not exit. There is no bait that is the "lure that is reliable in pretty much every condition". Perhaps most interesting is - You are missing the point. The single best part of any fishing success is figuring out and finding what works - Yourself. Asking for or looking for the "Holy Grail" of bass fishing is a waste of time. In fact to take this a step further, I would not want the answer even if it did exist. It would truly ruin the best part of it all - the chase and challenge. AJay

With so many of the BR members being incredibly talented and experience sticks, (which I am not) I am looking forward to what is posted here. In the mean time, here's my entry. 1). Learn the entire life cycle of your quarry and that of it's various food sources. 2). Fishing at the Time & Places where the largest Fish are. 3). Be Ready ~ Ensure that every aspect of the tackle you chose is more than capable of hooking, fighting & landing your fish of a life time. 3a). Use a net. A-Jay

X2 ~ It's been mentioned a couple of times in this thread how during this phase many anglers feel that the largest fish become more "vulnerable". Imagine if you will, what if these fish spawned at a depth or in a local that was the same as where they spend the rest of the year. Would the number of these fish caught be less ? My contention would be yes, most definitely. And I'm not saying whether I know for sure how this affects reproduction rates or fish mortality, but if they're not caught at all, it's hard to think there would be any harm done. A-Jay

Almost Dwight ~ Almost . The difference may be the wearing of Thermally Insulated Coveralls vs. 50 SPF. A-Jay

This topic routinely elicits a decent number of responses detailing opposing view points. As long as an angler is abiding by state / local regulations, I feel it's a matter of personal preference. Some view this as a matter of ethics and conduct themselves accordingly; I'm on this side of the line. Others follow the Letter of the Law and I'm good with that as well. Practicing anything else is usually not only illegal but some seriously Bad Juju. A-Jay
