Hey guys, looking for some advice... I'm really trying to get into finesse techinques, but I'm having a problem staying connected to my lure... so for example, lets say im fishing with a weightless senko, i toss it out there and wait a bit a close the bail on my reel... theres a good amount of slack in there either laying on the water, or doing that squiggley thing in the air, or blowing in the wind. so i try to wind some slack out of the line, but i never really feel my bait out there. So i pull it out of strike zone or leave so much slack that I'm sure that I'm missing strikes or something only time I really feel it is when i gets caugt on a reed or something... I'm getting frustrated.. same goes for lightweighted t-rigs, shakey heads, etc... I dont know what I'm doing wrong... i'm fishing with 6# yo-zuri Ultra Soft and have a 2500 symetre reel.. and admittedly a relatively cheap medium 7' rod that i'm looking to replace, but could it be the rod that makes all the difference, or am I just not supposed to feel the bait out there? so when i shake the shakey head, or try to sweep the senko along, am I going by faith, how am i supposed to detect the strikes? I get frustrated and just switch to a spinnerbait or heavier something that i can feel out there... any advice or tips would help

Laguna Niguel Lake... Orange County's little secret... great lake to fish, small trolling motor, boat rental only kinda like..

Hey Guys... Horrible news from my local fishing hole... Couple weeks ago everyone woke up to 300+ dead bass ranging in weights from dinks to multiples in the 15-16lb range... also many big catfish and panfish... 500 fish in total or so and all these fish died at the same time local biologists attribute it to over-population and a lack of oxygen due to high water temps... lake has bubblers on one side... other side is where most of the deaths occured... You guys run into this much? The biologists were suprised that this hasn't happened to our lake before and assures us that there are still pleanty of fish in the lake... however fishing has suffered tremendously since the "turnover".... How long does a lake take to recover from somthing like this? Could this also be attributed to the strict catch and release bass policy? we're hoping that the trout stock in november will help to spur the bass action into action and recovery... any thoughts or comments appreciated

X12

dip the thing into boiling water for a few seconds and it should return to its molded shape

hand poured worms... 4-5in

I really like the basstrix ones... the look great and have a lot of action.. the money minnows are nice too... I like the slit in the bottom of the money minnow, makes the rigging easier.. if you're looking for a more realistic one, i would have to lean basstrix

Ok guys.. match your recommended gear ratio to the technique (for those of us who are yearning to learn what is what) gear ratios: 5.x 6.x 7.x techniques: pitch/flip, t-rigs, wacky, shaky, spinnerbaits, deep cranks, shallow cranks, top water pops, top water sticks, wake baits, soft plastic swims, hard swims, buzzbaits, c-rigs thanks guys =) bonus points... pick your rod (length,power,action)
