Slug-gos or Senkos? Why?
Both have a place in my tackle box. i preffer senko knock offs to the real deal.But the slug go has a special place in my heart. IMO i would compare the slug go and the fluke or bass assasin not the senko. All catch fish though. i use both in different situatuions. shallow and deeper. senko has a faster ROF(rate of fall)

Senko or Gulp Sinking Minnow?
Let me just say i am not a fan of anything Berkley. So gulp i will not use. but i did notice the difference in colors between the 2 baits. the gulp in watermalon w/red and black looks like a totally different color than the same color in senko. maybe they were keying in on the gulp color more. to me the gulp is a much lighter color. or maybe they liked the fish food or whatever that stuff is, i dont know.but senko is a better bait IMO.

temps for topwater
I dont know how this happened to me, but it did. I went fishing on Toledo Bend in Dec 08. we were pretty much done fishing and i grabbed my topwater rig(dont even know why i brought one) and tossed my spook. about the 3rd cast i caught about a 2lbr. May not seem strange, but it was 27 degrees outside and the water temp was cold to. thats COLD for southeast Tx.So from now on I dont care how cold it is, I will ALWAYS try a topwater for at least a few minutes.

how do you fish standing timber?
IMO plastics.and if they dont work, IF possible, bounce things off the stumps. to try to get reaction strikes. i will pick timber to pieces with about 3 or 4 different things.

What are your fishing weaknesses?
My biggest weak point is deep crankin.I rarely catch them when they are suspending in 10'-17'. My 2nd biggest weak point is the jig.I can catch grass all day on a jig, but who wants to put a 10lb clump of grass on the wall? I definately need help in those two areas.

Wacky Worm History.
OK thats 3 different answers. Now, which one is the truth????? :-?

Fishing in warm water and cool air...
IMO i dont think fish give a ***t about what the temp is in the air. To me its all about the water temp. But if im in doubt and i think the fish were affected i would throw 3 baits. A rat l trap,an x rap , or a senko. One of those should catch a fish no matter the temp outside.

Re: favorite bass angler
Like them all because they are great fisherman. Hate them all because im not on the same level.

How much does CONFIDENCE really matter to you?
how so, a t rigged paca craw with a parasite weight does the same exact thing that a jig does. i punch them through grass, and also flip docks with them. they may look different, but other than that i fish them just like i do a jig and IMO they outfish the jig. Maybe you dont know what a parasite weight is, basically it is a weight that attaches to the hook that prevents the weight from sliding up and down the line.
-
How much does CONFIDENCE really matter to you?
To me confidence is everything. My weakest point in fishing is a jig. I have absolutley NO confidence in a jig. my parasite weight and craws and creatures are a total confidence thing for me. they do the same thing as the jig. I have found if i have no confidence with something i aint gonna catch ***t. i have thrown a jig a lot and it has NEVER produced quality fish for me.
-
Which jigs does everyone recommend??
i have never had good luck with them either.i always catch a ton of grass. the weed guards on the hook are great but i catch too much grass on the line and knot. but i use a parasite wight and a tx rigged paca craw or beaver style bait that does the same thing and is more weedless.
