I have an Endura C2 and would be interested in doing this, but what foot pedal would be compatible? I searched online but wasn't able to find anything.

Tangipahoa Parish but will soon be moving to Lafayette

Every time I use braided line, it seems to catch on itself mid-cast and knot up. Is this because I don't have my reel set up properly, or because I need a different reel to use the braid? Thanks

Like the title says, I'm looking for a casual fishing partner close to where I'm located. I've never fished tournaments but I wouldn't mind entering a few. I finish school in a week so I'll be free all summer.

I'm a teenager and I fish almost every day of the week.

Today, I got to fish at a friend's farm pond that has some huge bass. The pond is rectangular shaped and is about 60 yds long and 30 yds wide. As soon as I got there, I spotted a bass that was at least 5-6 pounds in one of the corners. I fishing that spot the whole trip throwing brush hogs, worms, senkos, spinnerbaits, and a shallow crank, but I could not get it to even chase the baits. What can I do to interest the bass next trip?

I'm giving my dad the Quantam Tour Edition rod that I have on my Daiwa Megaforce reel which is the setup I use the least. He was using an 6'6 MH Ugly Stick which is what I will probably be using with the Daiwa. What lures should I throw(Cranks, Spinnerbaits, etc..) using this setup?

What is the best deal I can get on a good rod for under $200? I want to use it to fish mainly soft plastics.

I think it's about 10 ft deep. Thats only a guess from diving down after a rod one time. There is a deep spot then it rises up to about a 2 feet of water and I can see weeds all over the bottom in the shallow water.

I don't have any deep diving cranks or any other lure that is obviously meant to be fished in deep water. In the pond I've been fishing I can usually catch all I want with brush hogs and worms along the bank, but lately the bite has slowed down along the bank. I figure that the fish have moved deeper because its so hot here. What are some lures that I would be able to try and catch deeper bass with? Thanks

I have a Daiwa Megaforce reel that was my first baitcast reel. I've had it for about 5 months now. It has dirt and stuff in it from riding on an ATV on dirt roads. When I cast and reel in it doesn't feel near as smooth as I think it should. I think that it greatly hurts my sensitivity when fishing soft plastics waiting for that subtle bump. How can I fix this? Thanks

I read your post earlier today before I went fishing. We got there and my dad caught a fish on his first cast before we even untied the boat from the dock. After about an hour of no fish, I started thinking about your post. In the next hour after that, I caught 3 and my dad caught 1 more. I don't think it's bad luck, at least it wasn't for me. Edit: I was having a great day a few weeks ago and near the end of my trip I was catching a fish almost every other cast. I decided when my last cast would be and caught one about 2 feet from the boat. I put the rod down and left happy ;D

I am always reading about matching colors and sizes of lures to the bait fish that are in the pond or lake. I fish ALOT at this one pond and have never seen any bait fish. How can I find the bait fish in my pond? Thanks

Thanks for the help I just purchased a Cabela's Pro Guide 3600 on sale for $20.00 so hopefully this will help out.

I'm not sure what forum this goes in but I would like to know who makes quality tackle bags and how much I should spend on one. I'm tired of having to carry my small plano tackle box, my big browning worm binder, and my small plano spinnerbait box separately. I want a medium sized bag so I will only have one thing to lug around. Thanks
