10 lb line is wayyyy to light for that. in my opinion, 15 lb. min 20 lb being best.

On a 6 acre pond (borrow pit really) that I have permission to fish there is shoreline cover that extends out to about 4 F.O.W.. beyond that there is zero cover in the deeper water. The owner is a crappie fisherman and gets me stakes to hammer into the mud in the deepest parts of the pond. The pond maxes out at 12 feet and most stake beds are built with 12 foot stakes in 10-12 feet of water. My question is, for better bass cover, would it be better to put large groups of stakes close together? Large groups spread out? Small groups of stakes? Are stake beds even good bass cover?

4 inch power worms texas rigged :Idontknow:

big hammer have a rolling body motion as opposed to a side to side tail kick. I am a big fan, especially on swim jigs

CLAM SHOT. i like them alot better because it will grip onto the line nicely without ridges and is totally smooth so it doesnt catch bad.

who'd you hunt with in Stuttgart?

left at halftime in the pouring rain. wilson called all of his teamates quitters. players are literally quitting the team. the season might as well be over. :cry4:

im all for that, whether fraternity pledgeship will agree is to be forseen. Make it a really cold game and we will go attack swepco lake. a pawerplant lake with florida strain bass.

Was on the 50 yard line for it jeff and it was uglier in sight. defense was flat and under agressive. still tons of fun though, and yes, i do love attending the university of arkansas

i throw it into the thickest buck brush and lay down and whatever most people would be flipping. weightless tx rig.

colorado bladed spinnerbaits in firetiger. i know from experience. not that i intended to catch these things :mad10:

ARKANSAS! its the fishing state. blue ribbon smallmouth streams that arent heavily fished. any type of bass lake you can ask for. world class trout and fly fishing. the mississippi river oxbows are gods country. trophy striper fishing with fish that exceed 40 lbs. trophy walleye fishing with fish that exceed 10 lbs. NO PESKY PIKE OR MUSKY.

the big hammers will NOT disappoint, but use superglue also. they really rip over time

name her popmax, rico, devils horse, or my favorite: RAGE LOLA....

you know its bad when this comes from the guide on the best bass fishing lake in the US. who dink drops 5 lbers. ..jeff was dink dropping 7 lbers,

try a rage hawg!!

swimjig trailer the menace vertically. its subtle but very much like a bluegill or shad swimming thru the water. money

I had the great honor of fishing this morning with memphis's biggest bass fishing legend, second only to some furniture salesman named Bill Dance. Yes thats right Roadwarrior. We fished a very private pond , which I'm sure made all those grove park bass happy that they could eat in peace for a day. The day started off calm and early at 5 am when i struck first for the day with a pair of white cavitron buzz bait bass and missed a few more, while RW fished a rage tail on top like a buzz bait surprisingly unsuccessfully. After what little topwater bite there was died down, RW fished a lobster on a Stick'r rig and had a few bites but still had not put a fish in the boat :surprised: . I was getting worried. We were talking about all the big girls Big-O catches and how we wish there was some standing timber to pitch a rage hawg around just like Big-O does. About that time RW says "I just wanna be like Big-O" and ties on a Rage Hawg in Summer Craw with a half ounce weight and a razor sharp Moaner hook. Like I expected, he just started whacking some chunky bass with one worth a picture. I caught a few more on a worm but I was just trying to take in the experience. A storm chased us off but not before we did a little damage. Yep, TW is going to get an order for some rage hawgs pretty soon, not to mention I'm sitting on the edge of my seat for the icast rage introductions, y'all will love them!

it happens with mine too and im not sure why...

big colorado blades on 3/4 oz spinnerbaits

watermelon, green pumpkin, and junebug cover me...

are there still that many stripers on bull?

and im not sure about MO but the rig is always an option in AR...water is murky for this time of year up there so it wouldnt be a terrible option

dont even own a hudd, but fish were chasin shad like crazy on windblown points, early they were busting them on top and later against the bluff walls, did very little bass fishing though, mostly walleye chasing, in the bass fishing we did do we caught a small kentucky, a 14 inch largie and a 17 inch smallie, all on windblown points. the smallie was caught on a RR style head and baitfish colored grub body letting it drop down the bluff wall.
