Man, y'all had the buzzbaits workin' and over some 'purty', clear water!!! Dan

Fine fishing Tf! Well written too! Dan

Checking for polarization How stuff works The best polarized sunglasses I've ever used. Dan

Fine Fishing and an interesting bait! But here are some even bigger tubes. Threw them a few times with no bites. Dan

Like your sig GMAN! 8-) I consider I've skunked out when I don't catch a 3 lber or heavier and that's been happening a lot for the last few weeks. :-[ Dan

Review of my favorite Dan

Zoom's Trick Worm in green pumpkin and GY's 5 " Senko in color #22 will catch Bass almost anywhere. T-rig the Senkos weightless and the TW's with a 1/8 oz split-shot or on a shaky-head 1/8 oz jig. Wacky-rig the Senkos on a 3/0 weedless Gammy hook to show them something they probably haven't seen before. Dan

Cruisers are hard to figure out for sure :-/. Maybe something non-threatening like a Trick Worm :-/. Dan

Great family and fish Davis! Dan

WTG Ms Deb! What a huge quantity of BASS!!!! Thanks for the report and good Luck in Florida! 8-) Dan

Fine fish young man! You'll get that bigger one that blew up on your Sammy sooner or later. 8-) Dan

Never fly-fished but my best friend does when he goes for NC trout. Dan

Dangit! Wish it'd hooked up on your rig TRT! Dan

Some fine fish there Vyron!!! What a great job! I had a lot of wind too yesterday at the farm pond and threw a spinnerbait but no bites for me :-[ Dan

Haven't fished those Jackalls but their Aragon, Squadminnow, and TN70 baits have been very good to me. Dan

Great catch young man!!! Fine Fish! Dan

Great choices on the line and KVD spinnerbait! Dan

Here I use these "stops", one before the weight and one after the weight. They 'trap' the weight between them and they(along with weight) can easily and smoothly be moved anywhere on the line. They won't damage the line as toothpicks might. Dan lightning - are these the types of stops that you can reel through the guides onto the spool? reason I ask is for slip-floats Tony, I d/k :-/. Never tried to but I would guess you could as they are tiny and should fit through most guides. Dan

9 lbs even 26"-out of a public lake too Matt's Baby Bass Dan

Yes, especially if the jig and trailer you're using resemble a baitfish. Dan

You can pitch with just about any tackle but I prefer a medium to heavy, 6-7.5' rod and a baitcaster . I taught myself to do it. I practiced in my yard, pitching 1/2 oz jigs under hedges and bushes. Just keep after it and distance and accuracy(most important!) will come. 8-) Dan

I prefer pitching a jig which allows for a more vertical fall. I usually pull off a little more line as the jig falls and then engage the reel as the jig hits bottom. I watch the line for a 'jump' as the jig falls, showing a strike. I then reel down and swing the rod. Casting a jig won't allow for much of a vertical fall as the mostly horizontal line will cause the jig to pendulum back towards you but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Dan

I've caught Bass up to 5 lbs when wacky-rigging a 5" Senko. I also rig them weightless, Texas style on a 4/0 EWG hook. Good luck with yours . Dan
