Excellent catch! Nice PB. Always awesome. Here's to many more!

We've had a rod (long pole) go for a long ride across a local pond after one of my boys wasn't paying attention. Got the rod back and a nice 2+ pound bass!! A story to tell your grandkids some day.

Beautiful spot! It says "fish me, big fella"...

Niiiiiiiiiice

Hi Rick, welcome to the forums!
-
Congrats on your first 2016 bass! I'm next, I hope!! Renewed my permit to fish on my favorite reservoir, just need to find the time to get out.... Alas....
-
Well as they say, ya do what works for ya! Guys swear by bubblegum color where I fish. Never caught one on that color yet. I try, but it just doesn't work for me. I say slay 'em with the TX rig and enjoy life on the water!

Very sad. Sorry to hear.

Wacky is my absolute favorite rig! Nice whack'n 'em today! My wife, 4 sons and I walked the Civil War trails around Lee Hall Reservoir today. While it was fun, except for the complaining that I took the trail that was too long, it was awesome. The waters called to me. I woulda fished if I could have, and a wacky rig would be the first thing I'd have thrown!! Hard to say, Mike, since T-Rigging is a fairly slow retrieve, same with wacky. Or if you throw on a weighted wacky hook, you can move a tad faster. I always throw by laydowns, or tall grass and just let the bait fall. If you think you're slow enough, as they say, slow down some more. Maybe that's it? Or maybe they've seen enough of it in Jacksonville that they prefer the TX?

CONGRATS!! I'll never know what it's like to have a baby girl as we have 4 boys...and I've been snipped, LOL. Perhaps I'll have granddaughters one day....

Try the mojo rig! Glenn just posted a video of it.

Congrats!!! I got an error tho, said content not available. So I'm in the dark as to boy/girl.

Nice, Mike! My favorite days are when I catch a bass on the first cast. The rest of the day is usually a good one.
-
Excellent job, nice bass!
-
I've fished it in every season, but yes, late summer along deeper lay downs, grassy areas, etc., is a favorite time to fish it.
-
Can't help you with your question, but welcome to the forums! Someone will chime in and help.

Nice, Glenn! I fish it pretty much the same way, but where I fish, the Zoom Tiny Fluke in watermelon red flake on a 1 or 1/0 EWG works like candy to a sugarholic. For me that works better than ribbon tails, etc.

If you really want a telescopic rod, you can look at these: http://www.allfishingbuy.com/Spinning-Rods-3.6-4.5.htm They're not things of beauty, and they're rather long, but pack down to like 2.7 feet. I've bought from these folks before. It's the place to go for hard-to-find-in-the-US gear that's commonly used in the Orient. I bought some pencil-style floats and a 12' long pole that's been a blast for super simple fishing (like a canepole).

I feel better now. Thanks, mate.
-
This is how I feel right now... Sorry. Embarrassed...ready to turn in my college degree. I don't deserve to have it hanging on my office wall anymore. sure did.

Curious as to that. I saw 3 pieces for the FI models but only 1 for the FJ. But they have roughly the same drag specs for the 1000 models. Is that true by your understanding?
