I spoke with Clay yesterday, that knot was a Palomar. I've been practicing trying to tie it with my tongue. Havn't gotten it yet. Friggin' tough! He makes it look easy!!

except too fast! Biggest mistake made by folks trying out senkos in my experience.

I'm a huge believer in fishing 3 days before and after the full moon. I'm a major night-fisherman so that might have somthing to do with it. Like Raul said, If I get a full moon AND a clear night, you know where I'll be! HOWEVER----last night,full moon,5 fish all dinks except for a 2.4lbr I'll be back tonight because that full moon bite WILL happen, I just hope I'm there for it.

you're all right, but to add a sidenote, many people fish it when the cold hits because you say the rubber loses action but I believe this was learned as a by product of downsizing in cold water. The hair jig provides a lower profile bait while still retaining that deadly look. Personally I think hair jigs look better than rubber in the water but then again,...I'm not a bass! Also, the jigs RYan (senko77) ties have both hair and rubber too.

welcome Strat. Sorry, only thing I play is dumb. (and when that doesnt work I play dead)

I am running an event for C.A.S.T. for kids foundation next Sept. (thanks again Glenn for the contact info) I was speaking with the regional director,Art Pasley, and I asked him if he saw the piece ESPN did on this Clay Dyer guy and he said that he was forced to miss it because he was at an event that weekend,WITH CLAY!! It turns out that Clay has joined the C.A.S.T. team! Anyway, I have an email in to him,sent it this morning. Everyone cross your fingers that he can make it to my event. This gentleman is not just a fishing inspiration but an inspiration for LIFE itself. Man, I hope this happens. Sidenote- anyone in the New England area that would like to donate their day to our event, we would love to have you come help. The event will be held on Sept. 16th,2006, in the beautiful state of Rhode Island. Event will host 2-300 people and promises to be a fun filled, positive day all around. Anyone interested can either PM or email me.

I'd settle for roadwarriors back seat.

plus, you don't have to buy the cart!

Thanks Bassman "HI" Avid - be careful out there

yea, just reading that name brought back some big memories,...purple hair leech, was my faaaaavorite

please be sure to follow up on this post. I am very curious to know what was required. I bought a 64 w/ no title and wasn't going to register it till next year. Thanks in advance

bassackwards-Head first! No other way!

Keep reading, keep casting, and that will inevitably change.

When I replaced the 2-stroke on my Whaler jet, I replaced it w/a slightly larger engine and the new one came with a itty bitty oil pump on the crankcase cover. I used the original crankcase cover instead and avoided the pump altogether for exactly this reason. Good advice in my book, thanks for sharing.

Hola!

All I know is that "ice-out" and "ice in" are LUNKER times!!!

Especially for a beginner. Many of the other forums are very ego-based. THis site, however, is based on knowledge sharing, education,respect for all, and the growth of this sport which essentially means ,....YOU! ;D Start asking whenever you are ready but I'm sure we all recommend starting with the "Fishing articles" so you can learn at your own pace. Catch 'em up!

Welcome! Isn't there another pa_basser?? I know there are a few other pennsylvanians here either way. Enjoy the site, start reading, the knowledge will just pour out of the screen as long as the browser reads BassResource.com!

It's actually spring in RI but it's all the same, just the beginning instead of the end I'll be the first to say though that the 4 month shut down really makes me appreciate how much I love this game!! Keeps me hungry !

an example: http://flyfishersrendezvous.com/site/1318975/page/532884 google "bass flies"

spinnerbait or jerkbait. If not, crankbait. If none of these work, throw the tackle box at her!

We fish here in RI until you can't break thru the ice to the middle of the lake which is the last to freeze. Our sekos still sink and you think launching is tough,...come on up and see tough!! lol Notice the thin layer that runs about 40 ft off the shore! You'll notice we gear down to 2 rods each though. Fly-I got a bucket full of question marks according to my girlfriend!!

anyone ever have their line float? I mean, up off the water. My partner says "dude, the hair on my arm is standin' straight up" at the same time I noticed his line start to elevate off the water like a magic trick.. Mine was doing the same. Shore was our next move and it was a quick one ! I heard of a guy getting hit on a bike on a perfectly sunny day. Evidently there was a storm like 20 miles away and evidently that's not a far distance for lightning to travel.

And they are very easy to install yourself. Once you get it and look at it, it will be self-explanatory. If not, repost and we'll be happy to help you out.
