"My goal is to break the Toledo Bend record of 15.32 lbs" At 12 lbs 8 ozs I was 2 lbs 13 ozs short :

This picture is not close up on the shoreline but if you look at the willow tree directly behind the boat; that is the actual shoreline. The short brush in front of the willow is buck brush which is where the bass will be located once the spawn begins.

For me there are two times of the year when big bass are easiest to locate/catch; the first is pre-spawn and the second is when they have returned back home to deep structure. I really hate fishing during the actual spawn on Toledo Bend because most generally the lake is high which means the bass will be located deep within buck brush/button willows which are almost impenetrable. Unless you've have seen lakes such as Toledo Bend or Rayburn it is hard to understand how dense this shoreline brush actually is; try to get a mental picture of 15-25 yards of dense brush that if you were on foot you couldn't walk through. Give me pre-spawn when the bass are staging outside of the brush or a full moon night on deep structure.

This is when you set hook with any type of top water bait

What grinds my gears is people who don't know what a turn lane is for, it is completely legal to get into the turn lane long before you get to where you want to turn.

If I hear someone say I never backlash my first thought is I learned how to cast with a Penn 209M if you can cast with one of these you can cast anything.

I've owned one since their invention but I've never tried them on spinning reels

The fertilization and hatching process requires the warmth provided by sunlight penetration which is why the fish migrate into shallow water (with the exception of deep, clear western reservoirs). Bass will bed generally in a foot to 6 feet of water. Ken Cook "Toledo Bend is not a natural lake, in reality it is a flooded canyon that they put a dam in the lower end of. What this means is that the lake has a lot of flats out in the middle of the lake and when the lake is low these high spots can be great spawning locations. Also the fish have been known to spawn in the tops of the trees in 50 foot of water. Yes water level and conditions can be a major factor as to where you find you're staging fish." Tommy Martin Keep in mind both temperatures and depths are a generalization not an absolute

Now that's one we can make come true, in about a month that Fluke is gonna be deadly on the big pond. Problem right now is my back and I'm about 3 to 4 months from a new boat.

True to a certain point Muddy, Riverside was incorporated to the PRADCO conglomerate to which Fred Arbogast, Excalibur, YUM, Heddon, Rebel, Cotton Cordell, Creek Chub, Booyah, Smithwick, Silver Thread, Bomber & lazy Ike belong. Actually nowdays the Riverside brand has been dissapeared from the face of the planet. The Riverside site still exists, you click on it and it links you to Lurenet but the catalog shows nothing. PRADCO is now owned by Lurenet

Just do it & let the bass tell you what they want

Welcome to the club, I go see a surgeon on Monday; right now a choppy boat ride is the last thing I could handle.

My first bass was caught on a black Scoundrel with a yellow stripe down the back that I found in the bottom of a wooden hull rented boat. I'm one who firmly believe that today most anglers over complicate the very simple process of catching bass. People often respond to failure and frustration by over-complicating theory and technique. As much as it helps our egos to regard a difficult task as complex, this type of thinking is often the biggest obstacle between you and your fishing success.

That's cool right there, effective but very cool

Riverside is a subsidiary Lurenet which owns Yum, Xcaliber, BooYah, Heddon, Lazy Ike, Smithwick, Rebal, Bomber, Cotton Cordell, Creek Chub, Silver Thread, & Arbogast.

Crème Lures have a cult following and are still extremely effective; their 2 ¼ Angle worm was the first finesse worm. The Scoundrel in 4, 6, and 8 are deadly rigged with a spot remover/shaky jig head or wacky rigged (they come in 99 colors). I can't believe anyone hasn't mentioned the Scally Wag or Scally Wag II extremely popular bait for flipping. The Lit'l Fishie 1 ½ is the most popular bait on the big pond of monster white perch especially in the white blue back, I can't keep them on the self at Academy. When asked what would be the hottest new bait Rick Clunn declared every thing old will be new!
