The Guy

Thanks for the info guys

The water temps here are getting into the mid to high 80's. As summer progresses do you think the majority of bass will go deeper into the vegetation or venture into deeper water? My home lake has a lot of vegetation around the shore line but it has a few decent drop offs (for Florida) and is around 20ft at it's deepest.

I go to beetle spins when I get desperate

Bought my first product from the rage tail line a week ago, the rooster. I caught a 19" largemouth last night on one.

I have the same reel as rehed, cardinal 101 I believe $35 at wal-mart and I have been very happy with it

The turbine frames fit a larger face; as far as lens color I have the green mirror so I cannot compare the two you are asking about

I pitch with 20lb triple fish fluoro

Storm has the hopper popper. I have done pretty well with it, but it is small - 1 1/2 " 1/16 oz.

For those of you that keep a log/record of the fish you catch what info do you record? I started keeping a record over the past two months and wanted to know how detailed you guys get. Thanks

Caught my first bass on a buzzbait with that exact model a couple of days ago

Texas rigged, I either pitch it or fish it like I fish a regular worm. Cast it out and let it sink to the bottom pull it up a short ways and let it sink back to the bottom repeat all the way beck to the boat. I usually use a 1/0 to 2/0 EWG hook, some may go larger.

I have the smaller one 1/4 oz, it casts a mile and has great action. The bass almost seem to like it as much as me.

I would have to agree with kikstand about the solene I have had one for a while and it has given me no problems with heavy use. I use it primarily in fresh water but it has been in the salt a few times.

I picked one up at wal-mart a couple weeks ago for $100 maybe I should have waited a little longer, oh well.

I have done well pitching the parabug in baby bass laminate

I have the same rod, the berkley shock with 65lb power pro on it. There is a slight resistance with mine as opposed to the co-polymer i had on it before, but it has never been bad enough to cause me any problems. Also it tends to become less noticeable after a few casts and the line gets wet.

I have caught one on a yo-zuri snap bean and I have heard of people catching them on beetle spins but it's not a common occurrence.

You may want to check out the Storm hopper popper. I have had some great days on those and they are cheap.

I fish freshwater 99% of the time but will occasionally will do some light in shore fishing. If I wash the Revo immediately after use will there be any adverse effects from the salt water? Thanks

bandit: baby bass rapala: silver with black back

Yeah I tried to go out again this afternoon I managed to catch one but the wind took all the fun out of it and I went home

I have been picking up a few by pitching jigs and creatures around weeds and cat tails. They have mostly been smaller but one measured 22" and I got another that was a few inches shorter than that. The bite has definitely been picking up lately though.

A teenage mutant ninja turtle action figure when I was 5, it was Michelangelo I was upset; Most recently my cell phone

When I fished it years ago I remember there being a lot of submerged eel grass (that's what I have heard it called I don't know the technical name)

Thanks Rolo that's exactly the info I was looking for
