Welcome home! We're glad you're here.

Wow, thank you sir! I appreciate the kind words. While I can take credit for the organization of the topics, the rest is because of the hard work the moderators put in day-in and day-out. PLUS, we have the most incredible members around, bar none! You guys are awesome!

Man I'm so sorry. Words cannot express the sorrow. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Forrest Wood, founder of Ranger Boats, is in critical condition tonight at Baxter Regional Medical Center in Mountain Home, Ark. Please join everyone at BassResource in lifting up Forrest and Nina Wood and their family in prayer this evening.

Even though I'm privy to what's going on, I'm not going to divulge any information because I don't feel it's my place to steal somebody's thunder. Maybe other people think it's ok to do that, but that's not how I roll.

Yes, it works, but I changed it anyway: http://www.winseaguar.com/smackdown/

These items are discussed along with our survey results in this new video! https://youtu.be/rG8cGX9iMxs

Here's an unbelievable opportunity for an all expenses paid trip to fish with Mark Zona! http://www.winseaguar.com/smackdown/

I don't think I said when, did I?

It is power-assisted cable steering. They work in tandem. However if the electric motor fails, you can still steer it. Still no word on the longer version, but I think the goal was to have it out by March.

A couple of finesse jigs, and brand new Siebert's jig on the very first cast. OY!

Yup. Tubes work for largemouth bass just as well - if not better - as smallmouth bass.

'Hawks went deeper into the playoffs than anyone predicted. Not bad for a team that had a total of 17 players on IR this year. Wait, that's "not bad". That's scary good! Next season, watch out! I predict SF will make it to the SB, which would mean the NFC west has been in the SB...how many times in the past decade? That would mean all 4 teams have represented, some more than once. The NFC West is stacked with talent. Really looking forward to the "off season": musical coaching chairs, combine, free agencies, and draft. I think the SF coaching staff is going to be top picks for other teams with vacancies. We'll see what happens. Players? Will Brady finally retire? Who will be wearing a different jersey next year? A few more weekends of great games, and then the fun "off season" begins!

Which pros are you referencing?

Hey folks! Here's a new video designed to help you catch more fish in Winter conditions. Let me know your thoughts!

Ok, let's clarify a few things. First off, bass follow the baitfish. That's their food source. So that's a primary factor that determines their depth, and what structure/cover they're using. Baitfish are more affected by colder water temps than bass. Some baitfish struggle to survive as the water continues to drop below 50. It's usually warmer in deeper water, so that's where the baitfish head, and the bass follow. However, there's less cover available for them to hide, so predation is higher. So as temps begin to warm up in Spring, the baitfish head for shallower cover asap for protection, and the bass follow. At the same time, bass need to feed up for the spawn, so you'll find greater populations of aggressive bass shallow in spring. Second, these are not absolute "rules". Brief warming periods during winter may drive baitfish shallow, seeking protective cover, and the bass will follow. So it is possible to catch bass shallow at times, even in the dead of winter. Third, Spring "turnover" isn't a widespread thing, and only happens if the pond/lake is frozen. That's not to say every frozen lake experiences Spring turnover. Again, it's not a common occurrence. So I wouldn't consider it. Fourth, keep in mind fish can't survive very long below the thermocline due to lack of oxygen, but it's not instant death. Bass will endure short stints beneath the thermocline if that's where they chase the baitfish. So you'll probably get a few people that tell you they've caught fish below the thermocline. It can happen. Fifth, summer thermoclines don't always occur every year, even in the same lake where it happened the previous year. And the depth where it occurs can vary greatly. Sixth, the depth of plant growth is primarily determined by light penetration. As a general rule, the clearer the water, the deeper aquatic vegetation will grow. Your mileage may vary depending on available nutrients, bottom composition, and type of plants. But vegetation in 20' or deeper is not uncommon in clear ponds and lakes. Hope that helps!

That is some very good news, because it sounds like it can be managed to the point you can lead a normal life. I bet that's a big load off your chest!

That's just some of the topics discussed in this video. Enjoy!

I had a 2WD F-250 and towed for over 10 years with it. I got stuck on ramps on 4 separate occasions. A sandy ramp that wasn't very steep at all. Just couldn't get any traction. It was a slab concrete ramp. Twice on ramps that had mud/dirt right at - and just beneath - the water line. I just spun the tires in the mud. Couldn't budge. Put the truck just a hair too far in and got to the mossy part of the ramp. I ALMOST ended up with the truck sliding into the lake. I still don't know why it stopped sliding. All four times, I needed somebody to pull me out. Never again. I now have 2 trucks and an SUV. All of them have 4WD...and a set of tow straps in case somebody needs help.

Well thank you LCG. I appreciate the kind words. But I wasn't really looking for compliments. My biggest thrill is helping others the best I can. There's nothing better than making the world better for other people. Nothing!
