LOL...why would you open your post up like that? You made a great post, why would you feel that the OP wouldn't take your advice?

I'm experiencing the same thing. On one particular water body (24 ac) the water turned over. I found "warmer" water in the western and southern ends and have resorted to an inline spinner retrieved fairly quick w/quick pauses. It's about the only technique and lure that's been working for me. The slow methodical presentations have not worked for me at all.

Straight from the Forum Rules and FAQs:

I'll have to agree with ww2farmer. The person working the jig has more to do with hook-ups than the jig itself, IMHO. I have no problems with most grass/flipping jigs that are currently produced.

ROFL...You certainly are, FishinDaddy!

Old English which means "tip for tap"...Never understood some english terms, like carpenters are called "chippys" (SP).

Derrick, you should try and make some of these next year. You'd have some fun for sure! Out of state license are pretty friendly (I think it was $10 more than in-state this year) compared to, say Maine which was like $80 for out of state. I know Rhino originally set this up as an Eastern MA thing, but you're in like Windham/Derry, which is an extension of Eastern MA, besides, we can smell your Derry Air...

Great question, gk. What do you fish the most from a percentage standpoint: Horizonatal presentations? - spinnerbait, crankbaits, swim jigs etc: M-MH Power and M-F Action Bottom bouncing? - T-Rigs, C-rigs, Jigs, Tubes etc: MH-H Power and F-XF Action Shore fishing or boat? To me it does make a difference. Answer those questions and your rod choice would be easier to answer. I like a MH Power/MFAction for my all around rod

You and your girlfriend? That's the funniest thing I've seen so far this year...LMAO

I went to a second interview, came home and switched my line out, organized my tackle and put everything in my truck, ready to go...then I checked my e-mail and got the bad news...LOL Good luck out there guys!

Not shabby at all SoFlaBA. Very nice indeed. I never had the chance to catch one, but they look like they put up one heck of a fight...Man, look at the shoulders on that thing! Congrats, man!

Nice fish, WTG!

I just got an e-mail that notified me that my son's hockey team will be starting tomorrow morning instead of tonight. Guess who'll be a rink rat dad? Sorry guys, I have no political spin up my sleeve when it comes to hockey.

The straighter the line tie comes out of the jig head the easier to get thru the weeds IMHO. GMAN (Siebert Outdoors), just gave you 2 great jigs to try out!

^^^How did you know?^^^

It's gonna make you work that much harder. Ever since I've known you, you appear, to me anyway, that you like to prove the naysayers wrong, so go out and prove them wrong! Congrats bud, I'm very happy for you!

A 7.6 lbs is nothing to sneeze at. I expected your season to be bad, I bought all your jigs and soft plastics for a song at the beginning of the year...Heck I had to go to jail for a couple of days because the judge thought I stole that tackle...LOL I didn't have numbers, but the quality was good. I maybe working full time in Pawtucket, should know better on Friday. Take care Bud!

Welcome aboard and enjoy your stay.

Sounds like you had a great day and caught a lot of nice fish...Congrats!

Snow on Saturday? It'll make for a good trip, but a little too early to be spreading white mulch on the plant beds...

Sounds like you and granpa had a great day freebie.

^^^^LMAO^^^^

Great point Bassn B, I forgot that the drop shot was used by fluke/flounder anglers. I think it's great that saltwater and freshwater techniques are crossing over. More options...I'm sure it keeps the bait monkey happy.

I just noticed this post SirSnook and imediately thought the same thing. I just finished a post on a similar thread In the General Bass Fishing Forum saying it was a saltwater rig making it's way to freshwater prior to viewing your post.
