Dropshot the pilings with a 4.5" Reaction Innovation Flirt worm. The important thing to remember is DO NOT over work your bait. You will be surprised how much action this thing has without you ever moving it.

That's a really meaty bass!!!!!!!!!!! WTG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use Yum, Megastrike, and Smelly Jelly. The sprays don't last as long and also you will waste a lot because are you are spraying not rubbing.

Heck yeah bass will be there. They love to eat Bluegills and Crappie.

7' MH is what I would use. 50 lb. Power Pro should get the job done.

x2 on the Yum. Yum would be an even better scent if it just stayed on a tad longer. My other favorite would have to be Mega Strike or Smelly Jelly.

I am usually on the water at 6:30 a.m. everytime I go fishing, but I would like to be on the water by 6:00 a.m.

Try an all black Rage Tail Shad. Instead of doing the usual buzzbait action on top of the water, swim it under the water. This bait moves a TON of water so the bass will be able to hone it extremely well.

Great fishes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope I can start catching 'em like that soon.

Spro BBZ-1 Shad. The action on this thing is fantastic!!!!!! It is also very durable and the paint jobs are second to none. Not sure if it counts as an actual swimbait, but I gave it to you anyway.

Wow!!!!! I can't believe this. So far my Carrot Stix has held up nicely, the guides seem to be strong and the whole blank it self seems to be pretty strong also.

Didn't know bass could spawn twice?

I guess the most popular way to fish them is by flipping and pitching them in thick cover. My favorite way to fish them is by pitching them to docks with a 3/8 oz. tungsten weight. I know of many people that Carolina rig them and catch lots of fish.

Like Dink said, unless you are pulling double duty all you need is back bone and a tip that can launch the baits pretty far.

Owner Beast weighted hooks.

Great fish!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you catch many more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How 'bout them Tarheels!!!!!!!!!!

Check into Badin Lake, North Carolina. It is right outside the triangle in Asheboro. It looks great there and the fishing is fantastic.

That's a big fish!!!!!! Hope you catch many more!!!!!!!!!!!!!

x2. Only the Lowriders and higher end Falcon's have the exposed reel seat.

3/0 circle hooks.

Not Catfish. Not Flounder either.

I'm with Glenn. That fish must have just ate something HUGE before you caught it.
