>I would wakcy rig a 6 inch gulp nightcrawler and cast right to the edge of the dock and let it sink to the bottom. Get ready to set the hook.

Is a Kiname Flash the same exact thing as a Senko? I would like the correct answer, because I have heard a lot of opinions about it. Thanks

> I don't know what you are waiting for! As good as this forum is, adding another catagorie would make it better in my opinion. Are you planning on adding any new catagories? :-/

Lucky Craft Sammy in chartruse shad, the next smallest size. This tricky topwater drives bass nuts.

I mix all of the scents I have togethrer, add crumbled dough balls, crappie nibbles, bits of Gulp, and clear gel. Its my secret catfish dip bait.

As far as I understand it, Catching a bass will not hurt it at all unless you ware it out or mess with the gills. Try not to keep a bass on your line for a while to avoid wearing him out. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Where exactly do you swim a Jig? How deep of water and what cover can this tecnique be succsesful? Thanks.

LuckyCraft's FLASHMINNOW in American Shad. That jerk bait is hard for fish to resist. I have caught almost everything on it.

This year every Saturday we can watch bass fishing from 7:00 to 11:30 on ESPN2! ;D Support this new program by watching it. I want it to be a sucsess, so maybe some non- fishermen can realize how much of a sport fishing really is. ;D

I also just recieved my Angler's catolog!;D I was a little disapointed not to see the LuckyCraft Flashminnow, and the Rapala Skitterprop. Why would they take these baits out? I am glad to see all the new bleading bait colors. I can't wait to figure out all the new stuff that I nead to get!

How heavy of a smallmouth will 6 pound line hold? I lost a smallmouth that I guessed to be at least 4 pounds on 8 pound line. I want to fish thinner line without lousing fish, or the ability to cast. Is this possible? Thanks.

I try not to create a favorite company. If you do this you might miss out on other oportunities with other brand's baits.

I don't have the patience to use the stitching technique very long. :-/ I only use this when I know there is a fish there, like in sight fishing.

>If a bunch of companies were involved in the club, I would do it. The problem is that there would proubably be a lot of people(like me) who pay the first anual fee, go out and stock up on everything using their discount, and then quit the club before their next payment is due. I have always wondered if there was a way that I could get products for the price stores get them for.

Succsess to me is having a good time. Catching a bunch of nice bass can help me have a good time.

I wounder were Big Bill is? He might be posting with a different name. My screen name hasn't changed.

I have been pegging my sinkers with tooth picks for a while now. So far my line has never broke because of this. If I was fishing an important tournament I would use the screw in sinkers.

I'd like to say Ohio but I guess I can't. Although we have great smallmouth fishing in lake erie, and spotted bass in the Ohio river, the largemouth just don't grow as big here.

> An ultralite rod and reel rigged with the smallest hook i can find, and a green crappie nibble. If a fish is near by I will catch him.

>I have to admit it, lure advertising affects me more than it should. I often find myself buying a lure because I seen a good looking advertisement of it. Some advertisements are helpful though. They will give you a bunch of information about a product so you can deside if you nead it or not. The most convincing advertisements are fishing buddys explaining their great succses with certan lures. :

I love panfish, especially bluegill! Evan though they are a pain to clean they taste great. I do approve of keaping small young bass. They also can be tasty, plus it allows the rest of the bass to grow bigger. ;D

6lb. test for that kind of fishing is pretty risky. I would go with 8lb flourocarbon line. Flourocarbon sinks faster and is less visible. Good luck.

I think that experiance on the water is the best way of learning, next to reading Bassmaster, websites, and other information sorces.

I know that some Profesionals paint there slip sinkers and hooks to match the color of the bait they are using. I guess it makes it appear more natural.

The NAFC books are really good. I have the walley one and the smallmouth one. They cover the basics and make it very clear.
