I dont hide my gear from my wife, she was there when I bought 4 Skeet ease polls, 3 Abu Garcia Reveo SX-HS bait casters, a new spinning real, and $350 worth of tackle.......18 YEARS OF MARRIAGE, NEVER HIDE ANYTHING FROM THEM...JUST MY OPINION jim

Hey guys, I just joined two weeks ago and had asked for tips on how to pra ctice with my new baitcaster reals I bought. I HAVE NEVER USED ON UNTIL LAST WEEKEND. Last weekend I spent 1 1/2 hours getting birds nest out. After YA'LL told me how to set the brake and the tension, use the correct practice weight: I just practiced for an hour, resilts, 1 SMALL BIRDS NEST; GOT OUT WITH THE THUMB TRICK I SAW ON HERE. FIRST FEW CAST WERE 5 YARDS, BY THE END OF THE HOUR.....WAIT FOR IT............25 YARDS CONSTANTLY EVERY CAST AND.......NO FLIPPIN BIRDS NEST. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH........IT IS FUN CASTING THAT THING NOW JIM ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hey guys, I am fishing again after a life changing injury. Before the injury I was a weekend warrior fisherman, not giving it alot of thought. Once it was taken from me, I missed it. Now that I am learning to fish with the injury i am ready to do it right. I have heard that Bass clubs are the way to go. There is a worker at Gander mountain that said he would take me out with a bunch of his buddies at the end of April, I am looking forward to this. I believe I would like to have more opportunities to fish so I am hoping that a Bass club will help. I am trying to find a Bass club near me, how do I do this. I live just over the mountain (Massanutten Ski Resort) from Charlottesville Va. I am a looking for a Bass club. ANy thoughts? Jim

Hey guys, Is there a way to see all of the posts that I stuttered on the scree? JIm

yeah, I showed it to my son after I watched it and we were like "WOW" we could've used that trick the other day

Hoepfully before the season is out, hahaha. I want to use them this year ;D

Thank you so much. Will it make a significant difference in helping me cast correctly, I hope so?

I do believe I am doing it backwards. I set by brake to 9 or 10 then adjusted by spool control knob, so I should do it the other way? Jim

kinda like the inside and outside of the elbow? Lets say that the creek has a large channel in it and the creek runs in the shape of an elbow, and the depths are 4 feet on the inside of the elbow,then drops off to 20 feet for a few yards, then climbs back to 4 feet at the outside of the elbow; do you fish both the inside and outside of the channel where the water changes or just the inside? Jim

How slow should the lure drop? I have the break set at either 9 or 10 and i have the spool control snug and the 1/4 oz drops very very slowly. I guess my question is how fast should a 3/4 oz weight drop if the break and spool controll are set correctly. I am going to be switching from the 1/4 oz to the 3/4 oz weight as most have said start at the upper end of the rod rating. WHat do Ya'll think Jim

What are they talking about when they say "Bass find some type of cover, i.e. tree limb, trash build up, tree stump on the inside curve or the twist of a creek bed to set up their home " What is the inside curve? Dont be telling me a curve ball to a left handed batter either, hahhaha Jim

The lure weight is 1/4 to 3/4, line weight is 10 15 lb. Im not sure what the guy at Gander mountain spooled on it, it looks like 12lb Any thoughts
