When I am fishing a new lake I will typical start out with something slow like Carolina rig or a Texas rig to see if there are any Bass in the area I am fishing. If I am not getting bit I will typical change locations rather than changing lures, but I do change lures occasional.

For that I would just keep it simple. Maybe just throw a weightless Trickworm or a Senko.

X2. More than likely they where Carp. I experinced the same thing a few weeks ago and I started flipping when I saw them and I hooked into one only to see it was a Carp. Thats when I left the area to go find some Bass.

What are you talking about for each company? Swimbaits, jigs, etc. or are you talking about the company as a whole?

Great fish. I don't I have or will ever fish in the snow.

X2. I don't know the all the details, but if this guy wins I want his lawyer if I ever go to court.

Green pumpkin cause its more more natural than watermelon red.

Hey Sam, do you think small building bricks will work or do you have to have concrete blocks?

I wear braces and I use the rubber bands that my orthodontist gives me for my braces. They are just the right size.

X2. Whenever the Elites go to the California lakes or lakes Amistad or Falcon KVD usually doesn't make the final cut but like you said he's tough to beat at the other lakes.

Usually a Strike King Rage Tail Craw or Lobster in a color that matches your jig.

North Carolina

The Netbait BK swimbaits are very nice.

Are you bein' for real?

I have a Tenacity and it is a great topwater rod and reel (I got the 6'6" M and 6.4:1 gear ratio model) for the price. I know one knob is for the brakes and another one is for the drag. Hard to tell you which one is which maybe post a picture and I might could point them out a little better to you.

Man you gotta love those Texas lakes!!!! Nice fish!!!!!

If its a laydown, its hard to beat a buzzbait buzzed overtop of the laydown or beside it. Now if its standing timber thats in 15 ft of water or so I would probably try and find a creek channel or some other cover or structure besides the standing timber and it that with a jig, shakey head or even a drop-shot.

Vicious braid is pretty good. http://www.***.com/Vicious_Braid_Moss_Green_300yd/descpage-VBL.html

I do that everytime I see a pond while driving down the road. There is this one particular pond though that I really want to fish, it has got overhanging willows all around it and I really think that I could catch a huge fish in there.

Yep, they are definitely great craw style baits. They are the only jig trailers I use now.

Big Game is great line at a great price.

Any Performance Tuned Quantum is nice.

Heck yeah I would have my name attached go ahead and get my fifteen minutes of fame. ;D

They are great baits to use around the grass lines. I usually use a chatterbait and spinnerbait in the same situations.
