Thanks Be The Best You - you can be. A-Jay

The top bait is a 6th Sense Crush Flat X75 squarebill ~ This is the bait you've described - look it up. Killer bait - at least for me. A-Jay

Good For you ~ And even though you're not wetting a line, I'd be lying through my teeth if I said I wan't jealous . . . You Sir, are on the right path ! See ya when we see ya. A-Jay

Sweet ~ Love those Pistol Grips. I think I remember when you were looking for those . . . Quite a find. A-Jay

Check out the Gamakatsu Straight Eye Shiner/Wacky Hook And If you're interested in adding a weed guard the Gamakatsu Wicked Wacky Hook is a quality option as well. A-Jay

6th Sense Crush Flat X75 & the Strike King Red Eye Shad ~ A-Jay

Round reels you say ~ I love them. A-Jay

Hello Jim and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ Sorry I do not have the inside line on the Tracker's Owners manual. But I can perhaps help you become familiar with & effectively utilize this most excellent forum. The member you questioned about this here Last visited the forum in July 2017 - this is typical as many folks take the winter off and often come back as the weather warms - either way a response may not me coming in the timely manner you expect. And in your first post - Perhaps a more detailed subject line that included the 92 Tracker info could possibly garner a little more interest. Good Luck on your search - btw maybe it's time to contact the manufacturer ? A-Jay

LOL ~ You're not right . . . . A-Jay

Wow ~ Cool coloring Talk about By-Catch . . . . Pretty interesting. A-Jay

Hello Michael and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

I have to agree with @TOXIC on this one - though I don't exactly like fishing a stick bait. And @Darren. Don't even start . . . . A-Jay Apparently. A-Jay

Impressive for sure - But until that dog can do this - There's still room for growth. (circa 2005 - Sierra was a bit of a freak (insert wolf) & my wife's 5'9'') A-Jay

You're welcome my friend but all the credit goes to the OP and original contributors. A-Jay

In today's 'fast paced' world of bass fishing a good bit of what is accomplished by anglers in the public eye is often credited in part to the recent 'advances' in electronics. With good reason in fact, as there have been some effective & useful gear introduced in just the last few years. That said, and the reason I chose to bring this most excellent thread back, revolves around it's title; "Active or inactive". With the advent of Xtreme Depth Sonar, Chirp, 360 imaging, SwitchFire, Dual Beam Plus, Mega Side & Down Imaging, Precise GPS, Smart Strike, Panoptix, real-time underwater 3D mapping; (much of which I do reply on most every trip), to date, and as far as I know, there's only one way to determine this most crucial factor - and that's to go fishing. There are occasions when we can 'predict' when & where it's going to happen. Sometimes we're right - sometimes we're not. In my experience, there's not a replacement for time on the water - especially one body of water. Where if & when one gets on them, by being there through the changes (and there are many) we have some chance of 'staying on or following' the bait & or the bass. But fishing a place once a week or only 2 or 3 times a month, can often make consistency a tall order. Despite it all - the Challenge & the Hunt is addicting. Clearly none of this is even remotely new or earth shattering information, I offer it as a friendly reminder that being in the right place at the right time is just as humbling as the often experience alternative.

Say What ~ How come I can't just throw a dart at a map, plug in the numbers and go start catching hawgs ? That sounds pretty time consuming and like quite a bit of work. This bass fishing stuff seems very mysterious . . . A-Jay

Bringing it back ~ Because its Gold. A-Jay

Nicely Done ~ But I thought from the looks of that sky, you guys were going to get dumped on any minute there. Congrats on the bass & stay'in dry . . A-Jay

Items worth is always determined by a buyer - once it sells, that's what it's worth. Access & availability can also affect selling price. Unsold items can often indicate a misjudgment in perceived value. Very often my biggest hurdle as a seller. Once I get over it and become a motivated seller - my asking price will reflect it. Make them an offer they can't refuse ~ Never fails. (sometimes it feels like I'm giving it away - but it is what it is if you want to move gear.) As for low balling & the rest of it - Drama. Good luck with your sale. A-Jay

Do fishing trips to distant destinations count ? A-Jay

White Shepherd / Husky Mix. Cool dog with a very likable spirit. We got her specifically to be my wife's all-season running partner. They run races all over Northern MI together all year round. BreeZo's highly motivated & Lynn's a straight up Rockstar - wins quite a bit. A-Jay

This is WAY better in the Sunshine ! A-Jay

I think that was "Alaska: The Last Frontier" - that's Ivan & Eve's dog - Tonsai. He's a Catahoula Leopard Dog - otherwise commonly known as a Catahoula Cur. Pretty sure Breezo has visions of having his puppies . . . . . Oh - it's been a long winter . . . . A-Jay

I always wonder what she's thinking right about now . . . . A-Jay

@snake95 Tired of pulling out a tangled mess of baits when I only want one, and looking for a way to protect baits & hook points, I have actually put the small rubber band deal into play. The winter's long; I've got that kind of time. Looking ahead, this will be the first season of actually using the system. I'm hoping that the few seconds it may take to remove / replace the rubber bands will be far less frustrating than the alternative of tangled baits and prematurely worn treble hook points. We'll see.
