wish i was in your area.... i am sure you will get some replies from boatless people in your area.... good luck this year......

this is saltwater, but i have caught a pelican, a seagull, and have hooked but never landed (lol) many a seal.

dude, i want my reel back!

I have to agree. I've done well on them too! so far, tons of lm bass, tons of sm bass, walleye, pickerel, crappie, and even brook trout on accident (darn stock fish).... they are very versatile....again, I am a multi species fisher, so to me these things are awesome.

great response!

It was actually me who had the couple beers while my buddy (the driver) had a soda and a hot wings... I didn't think about the fact I was implying my friend was driving after drinking.... sorry. I don't condone driving even after a couple beers.

i won't spill it then.... storm makes a swim bait in various different species... it only costs around 3 to 4 bucks for three of them.... they have killed for me.... thats me.. everyone has there favorites.... i just know i have killed with these.......

why?

by the way, the lure i am talking about has allowed me to "forrest gump" my way to the out fishing (not every time of course, but still) of several experienced anglers over the last 3 years......none of them ever wants to use it...

Like previously stated, live bait would be simplest, but I would suggest a cheap plastic swimbait with a spinner real....he will learn to cast, plus at first he just needs to reel the thing in and get bites......

and rich, that is a heck of a good looking fish in your pic... kudos!

thanks rich and lone too.....

thanks for the response Paul... this happens to be a product by Storm, so not exactly exclusive.... certainly not like tying your own fly's our anything... it would be the equivalent of seeing a buddy catch fish on a certain x rap and then refusing to use it.... he even laughed... he just couldn't do it... I told him well, then use it when you don't fish with me.... lol

I went fishing today with a buddy with much more bass fishing experience than me... I have fished a lot during my life (at least 43 species both fresh and salt water, but bass? his wheelhouse) We went to his spot hoping for bass. I caught a mere 5 fish, all on the same swimbait...He caught nothing until a late day pickerel... He didn't want to use my offer of using one of my lures since at least it was cathcing "something" A few beers after fishing he headed off to Wal-Mart... He called me to say they had the same thing I was using, and did I want him to pick up some for me... I said thanks but I would stop by soon to get my own. He said he wanted to buy some, ;D but wouldn't since it was " MY BAIT " I said "If i saw you catching more fish than me i would try them and not feel bad" he said " I just can't" lol... DOES ANYONE ELSE THINK THIS IS FUNNY? ;D

I got a buddy who lives right by dam 4... he says he thinks about 2 weeks. water level will come down while water temp will go up.
