I would add some thing else, it's a fast way to a divorce! My wife now compares it to that Garth Brooks song Rodeo because back in the day they were called Fishing Rodeo's. His eyes are cold and restless His wounds have almost healed And she'd give half of Texas Just to change the way he feels She knows his love's in Tulsa And she knows he's gonna go Well, it ain't no woman, flesh and blood It's that damned old rodeo Carol knows when it's time for me to go but I've learned to swallow my pride and stay home more. That's the hardest part of chasing any sport, Pro or Semi Pro!

Ok that's it! If I aint got a swim bait tied on next time I'm on the lake some body slap me up side the head!

Some days just a PM saying; How y'all are that keeps us on track for the rest of the day

I've had success with painted blades during pre-spawn-spawn when the water is usually high and off colored. Never tried them any other time of the year but they would probably still produce.

How y'all are? As a kid I use to fish the spillway areas on Bundick's Lake near Deridder and Vernon Lake near Leesville both in Louisiana. Now I occasionally fish Toro Creek which is spillway feed from Toledo Bend. On all three I wade fish below the spillway using Texas Rigs, Spinner Baits, and Rat-L-Trap. My best luck comes from covering lots of water from near the spillway down stream; when I catch a fish stop and work that area over.

During the 70/80s I was considered to be a Semi Pro, fishing 6-10 tournaments a month but still holding down a weekly job. Even with sponsors some months I was lucky to break even much less make money. Some times I would get off work at 3:30 pm, drive 2 ½ hours to the camp, fish all night, and then drive 2 ½ hours back home to be at work by 7:00 am. The fishing aspect is not the stress it's the money part; what you are doing is supporting two households, because believe me not all wives are willing to leave home. At today's prices I don't see how some of these guys survive. Would I do it at my age? Absolutely not! If I was 25 again would I do it again? Damm straight!

Every bass I've seen inhaled and spit out a worm faster than you can react You can sit and hope the bass doesn't spit your worm or you can drop the rod, reel the slack, set the hook, & catch the bass. I'd also like to know which show this quote was used on since no one was in the boat but Shaw and me.

Watermelon Red Flake

Chunk them at a stumps, actually hit the stump and then let it helicopter down

I use a Gene Larew's Salty Hawg Craw as Jig Trailer/Texas Rig & I don't think there is any bait that looks less like a craw than these.

If at any time you feel a noticeable tap, tug, line tighten, heaviness, or see line movement. Without hesitation drop the rod, reel the slack, and set the hook

The best explanation ever is this quote from Raul Here's a little explanation on how the shape of the point can make a world of difference: in my daily practice I use sutures, sutures that come with needle, needles are different depending upon what you are going to stitch, we have needles for everything BUT skin and needles for skin. What's the difference, well, skin is anything but soft so the shape of the point is different. Needles for everything have a CONICAL POINT, while needles for skin have CUTTING EDGE POINT, what's the difference? Try to drive a conical point needle through skin and it will penetrate if you use a lot of muscle, do the same with a cutting edge point needle and it's a piece of cake, you don't need to apply a lot of muscle to make the needle go through the skin, why ? Because while a conical point has to separate the tissue the cutting edge point SLICES through it. Needles and hooks have the exact same application, to penetrate tissue, which one you think does a better job after the explanation, conical or cutting edge? Gammys are conical head hooks, owners Cutting edge are cutting edge hooks. So don't let your supposedly brand loyalty cloud your vision, in the pure aspect of function Gammys are sharp I'm not denying it but Owner's cutting edge hooks have superior hook penetration than Gammys hands down. And not only that, they cut through the toughest baits effortlessly.

I run my trolling motor, depth finder, & q-beam on the same battery with no problems Mount the depth finder in the bow, mount the transducer on the transom, & kick the font size up for easy viewing while running.

The only time I wait on a hook set is with buzz baits, top water or a Johnson spoons The hook set with Texas Rigs should be the same as with a jig! If at any time you feel a noticeable tap, tug, line tighten, heaviness, or see line movement, without hesitation drop the rod, reel the slack, and set the hook.

I'm with you avid the Weedless Wedge II eats hydrilla

Stanley Wedge Hog, Gene Larew Hawg Craw, & Oldham's Lures Trailer Hitch Jig

I believe Strike King made the original, I got one & it aint caught squat

I used Stanley Spinner Baits for about 15 years now with great success, the wedge blades put out more vibration than any blade on the market.

1. I need some info on keeping track of the moon phases Poor Richard's Almanac 2. Why do you think it is important? Moon phases coincide with Tidal Movements 3. Full moon = night fishing

Next

This is the way Shaw Grigsby put it to me, its call the three tap theory. The first tap the bass has inhaled your bait The second tap the bass has exhaled your bait The third tap I'm tapping you on the shoulder asking you why you didn't set hook! Drop the rod, reel the slack, & set the hook

How y'all are

I believe it has to do with water clarity and the depth of the water.

That'll work Now get some bass slime on it

How y'all are
