FIN-S-R You simply move to the next piece of structure, consistently catching bass is about location and timing. Being at the right location at the right time Structure fishing is not a cure all solution but it will greatly increase your odds of catching more and larger bass.

Not to high jack mattlures topic but I think Perry's record was God's way of telling us we don't know anything about his creations. While California will hold the record I believe another one will once again come from some where out in left field by some amateur like Perry's keeping us humble.

It's actually quite amazing that this conversation has turned to the subject of points because I'm a firm believer that points point the way to fish. I however do not follow the normal definition of point being either primary or secondary because there are too many types of points. Types of points Above water peninsula Under water peninsula Weed/grass line points Stump row points Rock/rip rap points All should be fished with the confidence that they will hold fish I warned y'all I can go off on the subject of structure fishing

Since points that extend outwards into the body of water are easy to locate they are targeted by everyone as RoLo mentioned. This however should not discourage one from fishing it because it has been my experience most anglers fish these points wrong. Most inexperienced anglers see the nearby bank and immediately position their boat within casting distance of the shore. To properly fish any structure the key is to locate the "break line", that is where there is a defined increase in depth. On points this may be on the very end, along one side, or "POCKETS" to the points (the inverse of a point). The break line is where the bass will transition from deep water to shallow water, once in shallow water they will move to feeding areas. RoLo also mentioned another key structure, underwater points that can only be located with a contour map. These are completely off shore and do not in any way touch the shore line. This structure is fished in the same way as mentioned above. I can't stress enough the necessity of locating break lines along the bottoms contour, this is the key to structure fishing, be it a point, ridge, hump, island or what ever.

Hey dude you stopped about 100,000 short of my name :

Alabama's Lay Lake during pre-spawn Keep an eye on Steve Kennedy, Aaron Martins, Tim Horton & Gerald Swindle they are from Alabama. I don't know why but Greg Hackney comes to mind so he's my pick

Absolutely! Not the same

We're assuming a V8 here right and if it does you're alright My concern would be a transmission with that many miles

You are worried about ambient heat causing venting If you think about it your battery gets hotter under the hood than it will inside the cab. Never mind

Bass-N-Buck has tournaments on Conroe & Livingston

Would I be foolish to keep the battery in the truck (under the hood of my extra cab tacoma) Your battery will be ok

Hey this is Tommy ;D Spinner baits, worms, lizards, crank baits, senkos, & jigs

Who Dat gonna beat dem Saints Saints or Eagles I've be a Saints fans since the Bag Heads & Aints Black & Gold in the Super Bowl

Yea I know all about you wood butchers and your measurements

Haydel Game Calls or Dudley Dud Faulk Calls Goggle em both

I do not like trailers with 8 tires period, go with at least 12 tires

Towing is never the problem, stopping is the problem Hint: Learn to down shift, this makes it easier on the brakes Other than that you will be fine

Deep water to the serious structure fisherman is water with depths greater than 8-12 feet Structure is a portion of the lake bottom that is different from the surrounding area, like ridges, humps, creek-channels, riprap, and submerged points of land. A structure fishing situation consists of a structure, breaks, break lines and deep water. "Breaks" are things on the structure's bottom like stumps, rocks, weeds, logs, and bushes. A "break line" is a line or lines along the structure's bottom where there is a defined increase or decrease in depth, either sudden or gradual like the edge of a channel, gully, or under water pond. There are other break lines, too, like a weed line wall, a brush line, a stump rows caused by boat lanes. The beginning bass angler must get a proper mental picture on structure fishing. The anglers must recognize from the beginning that not all good-looking structures harbor bass. But bass will never be found that are not related to structure in some manner. The angler who learns to recognize structure, then where and how to fish it on its breaks/break lines will be far ahead of other fishermen who do not understand such things

Lure Weight: 3/16 to 5/8 This is to light for fishing a worm, go with no less than 5/16 to ¾ oz

Long Mike The Surface Drive comes in 18, 23, 25, 27, 31 & 35 hp The Go-Devil comes in 6.5, 9, 16, 20, 23, 24, 27, 31, 35, Twin 18, & Twin 23 hp

How shallow of water will a Go-Devil run in? A Go-Devil needs about 9 to 10 inches of soft bottom (water, mud, vegetation) to start from a standstill. That can be 1 inch of water and 8 inches of mud, etc. Once the boat is up and running on plane, it will be able to run in about 1/4" inch of water in soft mud or 5 inches on a hard bottom.
