brushhoggin

easy. thats a cowbass

find the creek channel, sit in the middle of it and cast a worm or creature bait to either side of you onto the flats near visible cover. Let it sink and drag it off the flats and over the ledge into the creek channel. rinse and repeat

dang man thats a chunk! did she slurp it or explode on it?

for this year and right now, Bomber square bill in sexy shad bama bug SK Game Hawg spinnerbait with a paddletail or 4" grub instead of a skirt. ask me again in November and it'll be 3 completely different things

thats like going on a forum for guitar players and telling everyone you found a way to make your guitar sound amazing, but not saying how. happy for u though man, those golden nuggets of wisdom is what makes an old fart so priceless.

x3 thats what all the Cajuns were using at the fish camp last weekend. supposed to deter horse flies too.

some of the nicest looking baits i've seen in the tackle making forums. well done man

if i won the lottery i would get ONE as a collectors item. beautiful bait. but they're to be use with treble hooks???

thanks for typing that up. people need to be aware. good stuff

i think it's all about learning on how to link any given condition (including all the variables) to a specific application without going through the process of elimination.

looks and sounds like you've been truly blessed....as long as she's not one of these,,,,

I don't see bama bug

I used to set the hook on buzzbaits but now I just start reeling hard as soon as they hit and I know they didn't miss. there's no need to wait

When I fish them I seem to always get bit on a steady retrieve, letting the trailer make all the commotion. Every now and again I'll kill it and let it fall.

No doubt goose. I caught a huge one last weekend on a d**n frog. I thought it was gonna be a pb. Shoulda known by the insanely violent headshakes. Supposed to be really good meat though

i threw away all the vanish i had on my reels for the same reasons but kept what was left for leader material, and for some reason I haven't had the same problems using it as a leader

well done. way to figure her out

nice catch and thanks for seeing her on her way! that's positive angler karma

must be something in the air or water over there.

Bass are not intimidated. Have you seen some of the alien creature baits on TW? lol. Philsoreel is close to home. Have you ever watched a crawfish move about in the water? Also do you know how far your jig moves along the bottom when you pull your rod tip a certain distance? It's all about mimicking a crawfish. They crawl, scuttle and dart around. So use your rod tip to move your jig in those same ways, giving it a good pop of the wrist every now and again but not too often, just to excite any bass that could be in the vicinity. If I'm casting long distance, its taken me at least 10 minutes before to reel in a jig if i don't get bit.

Charlie Chaplin didn't speak in his movie career until the 1940's and by golly did he have something to say....

That's what happened in Japan, those folks have been dealing with tsunami warnings their whole life with nothing extraordinary happening until this year. I'm sure they were sittin' in their houses, bars, or boats when they heard that siren and stayed put cause they had been conditioned into a false sense of security. Poor them. Sorry to highjack, but if i were born in Japan, a tiny island, knowing it sat near a major fault line, I'm not so sure I would have felt comfortable not moving somewhere else far away. But yeah, if a tornado like the one that recently tore through Mississippi and Alabama came back for seconds, I would want every siren blasting as long and as loud as possible for as many to hear. Just stick with better-safe-than-sorry mentality. They are sounding them for thunderstorms now because they help fuel the tornadoes that have hit recently which were so sporadic and unpredictable. That is all.

freakin morons. thumbs up for "Turning your child into your own "tribute to freedom and choice" is unbelievably self-serving. Storm deserves to be loved for everything he or she is, not to be a pawn in the messed-up agenda of his/her parents."

another fan of trilene 100%

are you throwing buzzfrogs or hollowbodies?
