When was the last time you saw a spinnerbait swimming along? How about a natural buzzbait? Fish will hit just about any lure regardless if it looks like something they normally eat or not. Or a pink worm?

I've known about it for a while but never tried it. Today was the first time. In my canal i caught: 2 rock bass, 1 LM, and 2 Pike. That same day i went out on the boat and had 3 REALLY nice bass on, 1 had to be at least 4lbs. 1 just came off. 1 broke off and 1 was landed (16.5inches smallie) So im definitely in love with the splitshot rig. Now i got a question: When you lose a fish, how do you get him back on the hook? Should i try a different lure or color, or are they un-catchable?

-1/2oz chartreuse spinnerbait -7in power worm on splitshot rig. -1/2oz redeye shad in gold sexy shad -1/2oz blue/black booyah boo jig with a trailer of some sort. -Zara spook?

Well, if you were not fishing, I don't think it is a big deal. He was good enough not to hit your boat or dock so I don't see a problem. If it bothers you put a sign up saying no fishing.

Oh boy oh boy i hope i win. Been needing a new spinnerbait rod.

Cheaper alternative. : BPS has these two combos and i love them both.

I tried an area that has a very steep drop. It goes from 2.5 to about 30 in a few steps. The other night my step dad and mom went out and saw several smallies hangin around on the ledge. He wasn't fishing for bass though he was fishing for muskie (caught a 43incher!). Anyways, we went there today and anchored in the shallow area. I threw lures into the deep and fished it back over the ledge and back into the shallows. I tried lipless cranks, 1/2oz jigs, a few spinnerbaits and worm t rigged with a 1/2oz bullet weight. I couldn't get nothing. The current was a real bugger because i would cast to my right and by time it would be on the bottom it would be right in front of me. Any tips?

Yep. on 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 3/8. Weightless, wacky, c-rig, shakey. The fish dictate how you use it really lol.

Ya, Les Stroud was definitely the best. I kinda liked Bear Grylls but that's only cuz that dude is CRAZY. Did you ever see the one where he gave himself an enema?

I was fishing in the back of my canal one day with a 3/8oz spinnerbait in firetiger. A fish took it as soon as it hit the water. It came to the top and swirled the water around and i thought it was a big muskie/pike. Fought pretty d**n good and when my step dad netted it and pulled onto land, it broke though the net! Wasn't foul hooked, the lure was clearly in its mouth. I estimated to be about 20lbs. Oh yeah my line got wrapped around the fish and my step dad threw it back in......in goes the rod. And I'm halfway over the seawall grabbing for my rod LOL.

Catt, I'm trying to work on slowing my presentations down. I know I fish a jig to fast. My question is how do you cover water if your fishing this slowly? or is this a presentation that you use once you know you are on or around the fish? Texas rigged worms and jigs aren't really good search baits, they more for focusing on one area. A good bait for covering water would be a spinnerbait or a lipped/lipless crankbait

Seriously no redeye shad?

Hmm, usually slowing down is the deal. Sounds like you have thrown all different types of colors and lure presentations. Perhaps burning the lure, like a lipless crank. Maybe try adding a scent? Or try senkos when all else fails.

ya i was fishing this private pond and that's what kept happening to me. Anyways, when one of a bass's senses are hampered, the other ones will get heightened. so if a bass lives in muddy water and cant see that far, they might have better smell or their lateral line/ability to feel vibrations may be better. Same with blind people, their sense of touch and sound will get better since they use it more.

Anyone eve do Indian Runs? All the players jog in a straight line and the two players at the back have to run too the front. You gotta sprint to the front since everyone is always jogging. Also, 300s. run from the TD to the 50yd line and back, 3 times, sprints. Lacrosse practice sucked.

I would fish like Bill Dance (as long as he dosnt push any lures on me lol). But seriously he seems like a really nice guy that you could have fun with and also serious fish talk. Plus he ALWAYS catches big bass

X2. Dont they have to dig down deep to put in concrete or something like that?

I've been playing lacrosse for 2 years now and i dunno how i got through the first day of conditioning. Everyday that i got through was another to add to my days completed. Every time i thought i couldn't get through the day, i thought of all the other days i got through, and somehow i manage.

lol i clicked it and gave it one of my other emails and all it is is some guy making catfishbait. He put it on a normal circle hook. The ad makes no sense to me.

Good lot of tackle! What are you wanting to know about them?

i keep the majority of my soft plastics in utility boxes. I have a few bags that ti cant fit into the boxes so i leave them in bags. My tackle backpack can hold eight 360 Utility boxes so i have room for all of em. I keep the bags though just in case i need them.

Ive been fishing for 3 years, so I may not know as much as the other guys, but I can offer this .There are SOOOOOOO many factors that play into what to use, when to use, what color, how to use it. Sure there is probably a time when bass will eat anything, but there are other times when they will only bite maybe on type of color and presentation. I would start reading the articles on here about weather. I think that could make a firm beginning on what, when, and where.

oooooohhhhhhh, i thought the pin fell out. Ya that just sucks lolololol.

It has two drink holders, 4 pockets on the sides, and 2 pockets that are round for spare line. it also comes with a vinyl cover for yoyur pack when it rains. You can fit 8( ) 360 utility boxes or 5 370s. So lots of room for more stuff ;D. And when you wanna switch your style, switch out the boxes.
