brushhoggin

That's because you were smoking dope in it. no wonder i didn't get that job

why not a frog type bait? :-? a ribbit would destroy in this scenario

i tried a ****** in Amsterdam. it just made me sleepy

in before Glenn!!

all i can really do is laugh

megastrike will do just fine on elaztech plastics

get yourself a spro frog (pricey but effective) and do what these guys have suggested and bend the hooks up and away from the body just slightly. and for gods sake, don't wait to set the hook, set it as soon as you know he or she didn't miss.

copy that above me, but all you really need is a white crankbait, baby brush hog, and a frog, preferably by spro. ;D

i don't think it's critical , but it can help. slowing down in general can be critical. you can slow down and use a 12" worm and have a better chance at a bigger fish than fishin slow with a 4" worm. you just want it to look like an easy meal

but i didnt prank anyone?

not necessarily. bass don't chew on their food, they swallow things whole.

if i were a mutant i would give it 6 thumbs up

Paul, i caught a dink the other day in 90+ degree waters (surface temp), and by dink i mean MAYBE 9 inches. Anyways, of all the other fish i caught that day, this was the only one with red lips. What's interesting was it wasn't just red but bloody. i could literally wipe my thumb over his top lip and have blood on my thumb. and no, it wasn't from having a hook in his mouth cause i hooked him through the thinnest of tissue on the side of his mouth. What do you make of that? what theories does this debunk? if at all? it definitely occurs in the south

it look slike he's mounting it! where are his pants Oh you deserve a BAZINGA for that comment ok before i get one, i need to know what a BAZINGA is :-?

thanks guys

pass it through the eye twice before you start to spin the lure or hook?

Terns? So that's what they're called. They're always out there. Haven't had one go after a lure of mine before, but seagulls are pests. i've seen a hawk do the same thing over and over and over, we were actually trying to cast where he was diving thinking there would be bass chasing whatever they were chasing

when you say the long end you mean my main line right?

no matter what the lure, has always been the one where you thread it through, then spin the bait or hook 7 or 8 times then thread it through again at the bottom of the twists and back through itself. Sorry don't know what it's called but i'm losing confidence and fish with it. Are all those twists stressin the line too much? I know how to tie a palomar, and even a few others, but it's just embedded into my nervous system that that's what i tie when it's time to tie on a lure. now with braid this doesn't seem like as much of a problem. should the palomar be my new all time QB?

check out this new Koppers frog. just wondering how soft the body is. not really interested in the one underneath italthough it does kinda look sweet 8-). http://www.***.com/icast10.html?ccode=KOPFG

swimmin senkos are very delicate i agree. they could make the plastic more dense right where the joint is, but that might hinder the action. I set the hook like i'm fishing a plastic worm when i'm throwin swimmin senkos, give em a sec, give em some line so they don't feel you then set it hard on taut line.

Mississippi. Mostly just fishing a 33,000 acre reservoir system here in Jackson. I actually feel that the harsh winter we had (for the south anyway) changed a lot. This time last year, lily pads had filled in purdy heavily. But this year, summers on its slow exit, and the banks are still relatively bare. So for me, I've been doing the best i can fishing deep since the cover isn't there. Even then the fishing isn't all that great. The shad spawned late thiis year, and aren't really big enough yet to excite big schools of bass. So I fish 5:30 to 7:30 or 8, froggin up river with decent size and quantity. Bout average, but once that sun hits the water i'm moving out onto the main lake chasing deep, unmotivated bass with big worms and big craws. And i know I need to do some night fishing but it's still too dang hot, and the mosquitoes are ruthless. i need more private ponds to fish on.

So don't apply thumb pressure on the spool. Not sure what u mean by the line never touches the water. If anything, thats a good thing for top water. What kinda reel you usin? My revo stx has the adjustable mag breaks that helps slow the bait down towards the end of each cast. So I don't have to use my thumb as much throwin light rigs. I throw my ribbits on weightless hooks so it's a pretty darn light rig, and i'm turning those mag breaks almost completely on.
