Hello Marks and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

Hello Dave and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

Name that fish ~ OK . . .I'll name it Marvin. A-Jay

Although Black & Blue is a solid producer for me ~ It is always playing second fiddle to Green Pumpkin & Brown. My home waters are all for the most part - very clear. A-Jay

Considering the manufacturer made it a point to include a notation on the container that clearly indicates the product should not be subjected to a sub-freezing environment - A consumer could surmise that there is a better than average chance he's out the 36 quarters. A-Jay

Extended Warranty Insurance is such an interesting deal. One one hand, it makes us feel good knowing that we're "covered". On the other hand, it makes us a little bummed out shelling out the Cash. And I always find it interesting how the manufacturers are so willing to "Insure" a product while it's new and not really prone to failure but that same offer is rarely available down the road when the item actually has a decent chance of needing repair. So when I look at this as a betting man, it looks like the manufacturers are betting that while the item is new - it won't fail, but they'll be happy to take my money, At the same time, by purchasing the "insurance" I'm betting that the new item will fail, so I pay. It's a tough call and a matter of what makes us feel the best about it all. For me, I'd save the $900 and put it in the bank ~ call it the "Emergency Motor Fund". Then after the warranty expires, if there is a repair need - use The Fund to support the cost. You may not ever need it for a Big Repair & could use it for whatever ~ like routine maintenance. That's my story & I'm sticking to it. A-Jay

In the areas the fish are using ~ Here's a few bait's that may produce for you: Bottom contact presentations ~ Jig & Craw, 10 inch Texas rigged worm / 1/4 oz tungsten, Any & All levels of the water column ~ 3/8 oz swimjig with 4 -5 inch swimbait trailer, 1/2 oz Chatterbait with 4-5inch swimbait trailer, and a 5 inch solid body swimbait rigged on 1/4 weighted screwlock swimbait hook. Good Luck A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

Thanks for that ~ and here I was thinking I was the only one . . . . . . A-Jay That one made my night !

Hello used to be A Fisher Welcome Back to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

Hello and Thank You for your Service Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ I can only make one recommendation regarding the Detroit River ~ Don't Drink It ! Enjoy your MANCATION ~ (looks around hoping no one actually heard that) A-Jay

No Likes Left ~ It's been that kind of day. A-Jay

Sweet ~ "Here you go Honey. I hope you like it. I had to sell the children." A-Jay

Right off this one doesn't look very impressive but what one has to keep in mind is that I'm actually over 7 feet tall, weigh almost 500 lbs and have a Hindenburg size head . . . . So there's that. A-Jay

The Berkley Havoc Bobby Lane's Grass Pig Swimbait - 5 inch is effective and very reasonably priced. The Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper costs a little more but is a solid producer as well. Both fish great by them selves and as a trailer on swim jigs and chaterbaits. A-jay

Sweet Rig ~ I bet you're really enjoying that Minn Kota 55 . . . . A-Jay

Thanks ~ whatever it takes to add time on the water . . . . . . . A-Jay

Depends on the bait and each angler has their own way of going about it. Here's mine - replace suspending baits / balance sensitive with same size & design. ~ Replace lippless, squarebills as well as Shallow, mid & deep cranks with one size up EWG's - 1x strong 2x short (shank) ~ Replace topwaters with one size up EWG's short shank but use standard gauge trebles. A-Jay

If it's an option at all ~ Send her flowers At Work on Friday. Always a fan favorite . . . . . It's early , It'll catch her by surprise and she'll be the E N V Y of the Office. And don't skimp ~ Go Big ! That move may just buy you fishing Saturday & Sunday . . . and she can sleep in both days. Win ~ Win ! A-Jay

There's a strong possibility that some time come early summer, I'll be fishing from a new and more capable platform. This will mean access to several new & bigger bodies of water. Once this happens, one of my immediate priorities will include becoming proficient with the new equipment. And it's been a while since I've fished new (and especially larger lakes) and had the ability move from spot to spot & cover water, so I'll need to hone my chart / graph reading skills in advance of getting on the water and then apply effective & solid bass holding habitat locating skills. Should be fun. However, well before any of that deal takes place, there's going to be a matter of getting out into the first open water available with the Old Town and finding my first Michigan 6 lb plus smallie . . . . A-Jay

I have to admit - Not my favorite my friend . . . . . A-Jay
