Hammer 4

Short strike a lure, i.e. most have had them short strike spinnerbaits, hence the trailer hooks. Is the fish just tasting, investigating...or what..? Your thoughts..?

Having the Biggest Bass you ever hooked.............come unbuttoned...... :'(

Always nice when I order something Weds night, and recive it Friday morning...

I would add....You can throw a spinnerbait Anytime..I have caught bass all hours of the day, wind or no wind..cloudy, or sunshine..ect.. If you have timber in the water, throw them right up against the wood, the let it drop, and be Ready..lol I would also recomend buying better quality spinners. Have a look at ***s ..he's a sponser here.

On the past I used trailer hooks alot. Lately not do much...what I do is, make sure the hooks on my spinnerbaits are Sharp! I use a diamond plate to sharpen them..

I have to say....great info. Raul.. One thing re: our city lakes...it is much better to fish them at night, a good percentage of bass, including bigger fish, are caught at night on big baits. Every now and then, someone sticks a big girl during the daytime. The lake in question is about 1 acer..maybe 5-6' deep at most in the middle, which is out of reach for most folks. This lake has bass, crappie, cat's..a few gar, gills, and is stocked with smaller trout usually 9" or smaller during the winter. All of us that fish there on a regular basis, Know there's some Big bass in there. It's my feeling that they feel more at ease during the night time vs daylight, other wise we should be able to catch them as easy in the daytime..? There are times I have spent 9 hrs fishing there, throwing the box at em..using every presentation I know of and then some..only to be wearing my skunk siut home.. One thing about city parks, is they are tough to fish, but If you pay attention, you can learn a bunch..

I have Never, ever caught a fish on anything colored Junbug..?????

An example...a few city lakes I fish, while throwing Huddelston trout swimbaits, mind you these lakes are stocked by the DFG usualy on a weekly basis. Anyways, alot of times, good sized bass will follow your bait, maybe even nose, or mouth it, but not take it. If you change the cadence, or twitch it..the bas will either just swim away slowly, or get spooked and flee. As with other places, so.cal is now loaded with guys that fish with swimbaits, I believe some bass can tell the fakes..and will investigate them. It's now hard to get them to hit worms, where before, worms were almost a sure bet to land bass, so I think they become "Conditioned" to lures in alot of cases. Yes, they will still bite, but it seems to more of a "reaction" type bite for the most part in City park lakes. Another example is Monday I fished a city lake late in the day...I hooked 6 bass, 2 1/2 to 4 lbs in about 7 mins..3 got off..But, using the Same lure, and retrive late today, I couldn't buy a bite, I tried several different patterns, to no avail..I know, other things could be involved. Just shows how fast things can and do change..

Aewsome...Congratz...

Thanks for the heads up...

Seems to be o.k. now...?

I have used 8 on my Chronarch...don't think I'd try it on my BPS Extrem though.. ;D

Yeah now...this is gonna be FUN!!!!! 8-)

I'm not tellin....

I had a little 10' inflatable that I use to fish from all the time it had a little 4.5 hp outboard...welp, one day I'm head'n out to my favorite spot...and all of a sudden the throttle slips out of my hand, I turn around and the motor was in the water, apparently I forgot to tighten down the transom bolts.. :-[ Lucky for me, I had a safety chain bolted to the motor. Was a chore gettin that motor back up w/o falling in the water.. ;D

Prayers sent from Cali...hope all goes well...

I agree, keep it for a back up, you never know when you might need it..

Well, I don't own a boat... :-[ Gee, I really don't have any weaknesses.....cept finding the dang fish.. ;D Also, I get frustrated when I fish with someone that moves to fast..i.e. 3 cast's and move on.. :

I bought some old style Dr. Pepper at that store..

Look at it this way...what were we uaing Before all the fluro's, hybrids, braids ect..? I do use everything but mono.. ;D
