that video makes me think of how stupid fish are. then it makes me angry about not being able to catch stupid fish.

You guys are going about this the wrong way! Big bass love to eat snakes, so we should be using them to catch big bass! Embrace the snake! check this out: well i can't post a link b/c i'm too new here. So type in doug hannon without a space in your web browser and hit enter.

i've been looking at those on ebay and i thought about posting about them on this thread, but from the sounds of the way this thread has been going, i didn't think anyone would be a fan of the color c lector, so i didn't bother posting about it. i plan on buying one when i can spare 100 dollars.

i know its not fun, and considered cheating, but the best way to catch those sun bathers is with a net. lol on a serious note, i would try a worm rigged up on a drop shot.

can you post a link for that article?

I was in a Bass tournament yesterday and i found that the Bass were hanging out about 15 to 20 feet off the bank. I don't know if this will be true where ever you live, but that was the case on Lay Lake in Alabama. Hopefully this will be helpful to someone. We have a small tournament every 3 weeks. We only had 5 boats show up and one of them was going solo. 3 boats back down on us. The boat i was in got 2nd place and big fish. It didn't take much to win. we ended up with 9.2 pounds and our big fish was 3.14. 1st place had 10.4 pounds. So far i'm heading in the right direction. last tournament i got 3rd place, this one i got 2nd place. I'm looking forward to getting 1st place next time.

yeah those articles were great, i read all of them.

this is most helpful. thanks. If i can remember this guideline, i'll be alright. to me its all about being confident in what you're throwing. I've been lacking confidence b/c i wasn't sure what to throw when the water was different colors. i'll write this backwards on my forehead and remember it forever. dark water, dark colors. clear water, natural colors. muddy water, dark/bright colors! thanks again.

Since you're holding up a big fish like that, i'll take your word! I'm caught up on color b/c i'll fish a worm and won't get any bites until i change colors. i throw at the same spot with the same presentation and i won't get a bite until i change colors. i never know what color to change to. i usually go through 4 or 5 different colors until i find something that works.

Hey guys. I'm new here. To me the most frustrating thing is minding the right color lure to use. Do you guys have a guideline of what color to use for every situation? if the sky is clear and the water is clear, what color works best? what if the sky is clear and the water is dirty? what if its cloudy and the water is clear? ect..
