QUAKEnSHAKE

WOW thats a GREAT DAY Where Im from heck catching just one 3 pounder LM or SM makes the day great.

Might your real name be Bill Dance I always put my phone in a ziplock baggie just in case.

Thank You Yep I think this set-up matches nicely with this small lake. I dont ever see people fishing with jigs here, mostly worms and cranks, so them getting something different might help me. Here is one I caught today heavier jig 1/2oz but still with the baby craw.

That is a nice fat fish you got there :)CONGRATULATIONS

Thanks all and also for the advice. I take it all in and use your guys info while fishing. Ive tried new tactics with success because of the people here and it is very much appreciated.

I always seem to get bettered by 2 inches or 2 pounds by other fishermans stories. Guy will ask how am I doing-Ill say got a 15" bass--guy will say he caught a 17 inch one 2hrs ago. Different day different guy will ask --Ill say caught a 4 pound cat--guy will say he caught a 6 pound one yesterday. :

Never really used a jig much, maybe twice ever. Thought I would have a go at it again. I picked-up a WOODY'S 1/8oz Pro Jig Rattle black/blue and Rage Tail Baby Craw Okeechobee. Used my Pinnacle Deadbolt Classic baitcaster which does well with light lures. I tried several retrieves but the catches were from slowly steadily dragging along the bottom. I missed 2 fish and caught 3 in little over an hour use. One question -- Would this be a good follow to toss out after a SPRO Frog miss? Here are my catches

Very nice fish. Spro makes some good products. I caught my PB with one of their frogs. To make your picture show put after jpg put in front of http of your url.

Heck we are basically related now. Umm can I borrow $50 brother Just joking. Yep I dont have the space for a trailer so this fit the needs just pack the pieces put it in the trunk and go. It takes me an easy going 30min to be in the water.

Thanks Too with the my son it makle a good floater down a river nearby.

I have a St Croix Avid 8' Med Light spinning rod but its only rated for 4-8# line and 1/16-5/16 lures. Much different than what the Med Light Lamiglas you're looking at. That one must have a much stronger backbone given the line rating. I can tell you that with mine Ive hooked-in to some bass that instead of lifting/pulling with the rod I would point the rod straight and just pull back useing the line to get the fish out of grass/weeds cause didnt want to stress the rod too much.

Here are a couple pics of my inflatable. It works great for the small lakes around my area and one plus to it is that I can STAND ;D This is very helpful on my lower back. I just still need to get a seat for more comfort while motoring.

I like old country but favorite singer is ELVIS. Others: Conway Twitty Merle Haggard Johnny Cash Ernest Tubb Cal Smith any many others Today music I would say Alan Jackson is the best we have right now along with George Strait.

Ive not had an issue with the wife its the guys at work. They think Im nuts for spending $200 on a rod and $160 on a reel. Even when I buy lures, Im like hey guys I bought 3 frogs they are like, You're crazy just get crawlers :-? Then I feel the need to explain to them: That pack of smokes you just puffed away could have bought you a nice lure or over a year bought you a nice rod/reel combo. They dont say much after that.

Awsome bike, will you use it to get to fishing spots?

No, I used a nightcrawler.

Ah very good guess . I did weight it and 2lb 3oz on berkley digi scale.

Was out for bass but managed to catch this little cat, nice fight on light gear ;D

Yeah NICE fish there. Glad too to read that you used a SPRO Popper. I just bought one cant wait to try it hopefully with the same results you had.

For sure try one out if you can. I have a not so great back with 2 herniated discs. I wanted a kayak but wasnt for me with the leg position. I lasted about 1/2hr in one then the ole left foot started getting numb. I wound-up bought an inflatable boat for the what I felt was the better sitting position and able to get up move around and cast. Plus it deflates goes in the back of my suv.

/\ ;D Had it thumbed but it kept flopping/flipping wouldn't hold still like they normally do had a bad attitude for some reason.

THANKS ALL for the GREAT site

Hi. Im just to the west of ya in Rockford.

This is sound advice and i would like to add ..don't get hung up on one lure or one type of lure in different colors. What makes a great fisherman is being versatile and adapting to what the fish are telling you. Thanks for the advice. These trips though were specifically to try the frog and just get more experience with it. One lake 1/2 of it is a carpet of slop and the other lake 1/3 a blanket of lily-pads. Never tried the areas but seeing all the reports of frog use by others decided to try it myself.
