I'm bait drunk. The bait monkey has my credit card it's all his fault. I just ordered more affordable inline spinners. Mainly in white, black, chartruese. I'm thinking in river fishing they will eat anything. Btw, the 5yo grandson loved his tackle box and lures.

Besides my tackle boxes I have a Magnum size boat bag full of everything too incase we go out on a boat. If I have to walk I down size. I have a small soft Velcro pack I kept under my motorcycle seat with a telescopic rod with a zebco reel.

Maggots turn into flies?

Caught a big salmon on a Mann's baby 1 crankbaits in browncraw once. I didn't have a net. It was all silver with baby size teeth. Not wanting to lose my lure trying to pick it up I slacked the line and set it free not thinking about weighing it in. My son gets those north American fisherman books. I found out it was a salmon But for trout a inline spinner with a silver blade, dressed in white seems to work great for trout. (Smaller size) Panther Martin's, mepps 00, joesfly spinflys in blackgnat.

Black bear season opens labor day weekend. I'm thinking first week in October. I'd like to go don't know how many seasons I have left. Can't shoot the Magnum rifle bad back. Looks like the semi auto.

First he needs a bigger net. I believe the bass eat fish head first? Or they grab the head from the side. I have some 8" sewing needles for doing this. Thanks the bait monkey got me I had to have one.

Well color can matter on certain days much more than the brand. Number one plastic for bass. The split shot rigged 6" long black worm. Fish it slowly. Move it a few inches, pause, wait a few minutes repeat. Fish it slow. Colors for me so far. Black shad Red shad Black Green shad Electric Blue silver flake

The FLW chunk. Or uncle gosh pork.

Live bait?? Fresh live bait. I empty my tackle once a year and soak it with a mild dish soap. My lures get in the pool too. It removes any foul oders from using scents.

I spend a lot on fishing tackle. More than I want to know. I can't take the $$ with me when I leave the earth so I'm spending it here. Right now it's inline spinners. Silver blade, dressed black Silver blade, dressed white Gold blade, dressed green I could pick out $100 worth of them easily. I need cheaper ones for river fishing too.

Yup tried the crankbaits with the red dot pointer in the nose area. Caught nothing but a empty space in my wallet.

What happen to our gals who fish for bass? I miss there reports and bass pictures. Come on ladies let's hear from u again. Your welcome here too.

Where he came from he does have a mama, papa, cousins much bigger. What bait were u using. A rapala original floating minnow size f7 in blue. Slow reel or twitch it. A rebel pop r in blue n white. Presentation 1 twitch, 2 twitch, 3 twitch pause. Small twitches. A 6" black plastic worm split shot rigged. Some scent doesn't hurt either. Read the articles here and watch the videos.

Btw my cousin put bass in with large goldfish in a 75 gallon tank. Each morning one prize gold fish was missing. Then there was none. The bass were released fat n happy, happy.

They tend to stink up the place. I had a 25 gallon tank with small blue gills. I think the hard swimbaits from eBay in a glass tank suspended would be better?

Here's more I carry. My kids laugh at me but I go loaded with a little of everything. I do switch baits often. Everyone goes in the pool. That row of Norman thin N's is every color they offer. I have most baits in every size and color. I try to keep it neat, fishing in the dark taught me this. Most of what I buy I give to six family members too. Dad keep them fishing. They do presentations better than me the gals are awesome.

I was carrying five tackle boxes with five rod setups. Now just a few tackle boxes with five rod setups. A topwater box Plano 9606 A crankbaits box Plano 9606 A weedless box smaller barn roof box The other plastics box plus more are in the car near by. I'm a color freak. I'm a tackle hoarder, the bait monkey has me tied up now. I have 17 tackle boxes with every bait u can think of. I have those large green spinnerbait boxes (15) filled with every plastic u can think of. I purchased most of this before I retired so I need nothing to fish if things got tight. Some of these lures are old and still look new. I keep my tackle box closed in the rain. Leave it open at home so the lures dry out. No salted plastics with hard baits. Rules we must have rules

Sometimes they make a pass to stun it. Then turn fast like a PT boat and nail it. Seen it topwater many times. On the miss topwater I freeze. Then turn and hit it. He got hooked on the stun pass.

A better setup for my 5yo grandson. South Bend bait casting rod 5' ultra lite $8, south bend push button reel $5. It's a nice cheap combination. For a kid. I'm sure he will break. I give him a full replacement guarentee With a new flambeau two shelf tackle box full of lures, plastics, bombers. The dirt bike monkey got him two new dirt bike tires too. What a birthday.

I wish Hank Parker was on tv more. Hank taught me about cranks. (Crankbaits), Glenn here taught me spinnerbaits, plus his new educational videos taught me everything else. How can we lose we have the best of the best here. My mentor my older brother taught me patience and keep on going fishing. Plus we all help with the ibetweens It's there skills that's taught to us. There putting more bass on our lines.

Match the minnows exactly with a rapala. Scent it and bring it into the school. Don't cast into the school. Sneak in quietly. Mimic the minnows by twitching it. I'm sorry I played God one time. The pickerel were attacking this year's bass fry. I put on a rapala bass minnow and caught four pickerel. The attack stopped. I'm sorry I was compelled to do it. Rapala original floating minnows rock.

Bill Dance is a stand up guy. I asked him a question on his Facebook and only he would know the answer. He got right back to me. I think that's really awesome. Bill dance, Jimmy Houston hank Parker, infisherman Linder brothers, are like the fishing God's to me. Then we have Glenn here all of them are on the same level. God status, willing to share knowledge and help others. Take the time to give back to the sport. The great, great grandfathers are gadabout gaddis the flying fisherman with his float airplane. And Jerry McKinnis were talking many years of black n white tv here. Jerry McKinnis was the godfather of the bassmaster tournaments. He's in the bassmasters hall of fame. Jerry's fishing hole show has come along way. It takes a week or so of taping a show to catch those bass bill does
