Never Giving Up! Soft plastics is always my first choice, followed by topwater(weather permitting) then I become the junk fishing king.

Thanks Boca, but with all the free knowledge that I get from the forum and the fact that I can help a fellow angler out in a tournament, a few crank baits is still an unfair trade. Goodluck and God Bless my friend.

Nice idea! Here's another quick and cheap way of doing it. Take a two part ballpoint pen(the ones that screw together in the middle) and use just the front of the pen casing. The senko should fit right in and since the casing is smaller at the front, the O-rings go on easy and all you have to do is slide the O-ring right up.

x2 Never give up!

Now let's reverse the question alittle. Take away all the advancements in technology of today's equipment such as all the electronics, trolling motors, advancement in reels and rod sensitivity, soft plastics(no senkos), swimbaits and really only having mono line as the main option. Now, how many of today's top guys would be on top in the 70's and 80's? Would they still be handing these older guy's arses then? IMO technology can take a level playing field and turn it on its side. If one can't make that adjustment then he will certainly be a step behind those who can, and are up todate with it.

I am mainly a shore angler myself and when I'm out looking for a place to start casting, I'm looking for that spot where I have some type of cover to throw at, whether it be logs, stumps, overhanging branches, groups of fallen branches, cattails and my favorite underwater grass of some type. I work each spot with a combo of lures such as, a soft plastic of some type and then a top water bait since its a little warmer.

The Lord and Family has to be first, friends will be in the boat with me or on the shore with me, everyone else will either get my voice mail or a call back between cast. Bass fishing for me is therapy. The smell of being outdoor, the sounds of the birds, water rushing the banks, for those moments in time everything is on hold and I'm at peace with myself and my surrounding.

I'm still trying to make the 5#ers club so #2, but wait how many of those fish are 4#ers? :

We are definetly on the same page. 8-)

Just three when it comes to bass. Wow 17 in a row, I would have to bronze the lure. ;D

Congrats on your Catch! I'm still trying to make 5lb club myself, :

Wow, picture perfect!!!!! 8-)

Welcome aboard! There are a lot of Bass sites, but this is the ONLY BASS SITEBeing a member of this site is one of the best moves I've made towards being a better bass angler and I'm sure it will help you too.

Ikas have been my go to bait. Texas rigged backward(from the skirt area to the head) this will allow the bait to glide away from you and I like to use them with no weight and fish slow.

Voted No, I get enough music on the drive to the spot.

Thanks for the input fellas

How long does the spawning season last for Largemouth Bass? What factors determine the length of the spawning season?

Hello to all, I'm still new to the site and just wanted to see and hear more from some of the bass anglers from the state and what is going on in your neck off the woods and where you fishing at?

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have yet to catch one on a jig, guess this should be a good reason to apply myself more.

Thanks for all the information on the subject guys

What are the disadvantages of having a baitcasting reel on a spinning rod? Why should you not mix the two or is there no significant difference? Any info. would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you all, glad to be here.

My name is Bryan I'm from Mansfield, Ohio and I've been biten by the Bass bug about twenty five yrs ago and I don't think that I've ever gotten over it, nor do I want to!!!
