Bassin-Yakin

I have a pair that I love as well... I actually had the same reservations/comments.... ugly, dont want anything between my toes, wont hold up etc... Now I wish I could afford another pair... they feel like you are barefooted...

I dont have a lot of experience on this, but I used to fish tournaments as a co-angler. Several of the guys I fished with would re-visit spots in the course of a tournament day... One guy in fact hit a spot in the morning, around noon, and then again on the way in... we caught fish there each time.....

kicked me out too after hitting submit... I hit refresh and it said I was now entered.... hopefully thats right..

Here are a few of mine... not really favorites, but pretty cool pics... Running to one more spot before dark last summer.. my wife with a flounder she caught in her kayak years ago when we lived at the beach... a big ol' bowfin, my wife hooked it and got scared because it was pulling her kayak up stream!! gave the rod to me , so I claimed it!! wish I could find the one of me with a citation speck trout... what makes it cool is that it was 14 degrees when I launched my kayak and 23 for the high... as you can imagine I am bundled up big time...

its rated for 1/4 oz- 1oz....

I have a 7'6" MH extra fast taper rod... what applications would this be good for? It is a pretty nice rod, and I need to use it, just not sure what I should throw with it.... what would you use it for??

I just ordered some with a 6/0 hook for 6" worms and bigger creature baits... many people make their own and smaller tackle makers usually have great quality..

Wow - I'm anti-baitmonkey and I still would have had to buy at least $100 worth - perhaps more. If I didn't end up using them all, I could always turn them over for a profit! They seem like good, well made, effective baits and have a good reputation. Since I'm pretty frugal, I wouldn't pay $8 on up for them...but at $2.95 - you bet! Here's the perch-color Rattl'N Vibe that I got - great looking bait. Yes, too bad I live an hour away from the store... my wife might be going back and I plan to get her to stop in and get some more... they had that exact vibe as well.... just about everyone that walked through that section stopped and picked up a few.... might be gone by the time I or my wife make it back...

this store had probably 200 or so on one display... all for 2.95... they had the vibes, suspending minnows, cranks, some topwater.... the guy working said they just put them out and they were flying off the shelves... it wasnt a clearance section...

Anyone used any of these... they look pretty good, I like the smaller size with deeper diving depths... I was in Gander Mountain today and noticed a whole section of them every size and color for $2.95 each, I didnt know much about the lures but the looked good so I picked up a few... now looking on the internet seems that was a GREAT price as they run from 8-15 bucks everywhere else.... wish I would have gotten a few more.... any comments on them??

keep an eye on some of the fishing forum classified sections and you can get all you want for around 10-12 bucks each shipped... thats cranks, pointers, gunfish, you name it... give em a try and you wont be going back... I actually sold all my cranks and bought almost all LCs to replace them.... I still have a few standbys in other brands... but not many...

I had a similar experience a month or so ago... not as big of a fish..but about 5 or 6 pounder I would say... very very slow moving near the top of the water... and then I noticed white spots on the fish.... this is bound to be some disease...

our water temps are still around 60 or so... I have had some luck on spinnerbaits... anyone else have tips for early morning fishing on cold mornings??

Do the cold mornings affect the topwater bites? I am in Virginia and it has been down around 35 or so at night, but warming to mid 60s during the day. I am planning on going out early morning and wondering if the cold weather affects the topwater bite. Does it make it later in the day, or nonexistant? Do the fish wait for the air to warm up some to start feeding? Thanks for the tips...

what should I look for on the spindle? Also, why would I need a new hub? Think someone would come to my house to look at it? I obviously cant take it anywhere....
