Pet Bass?
they kept croppie minnows in with him. there was 1 piece of drift wood he would hold on. the minnows would swim in front of his mouth. he would gill flare and suck one in and they would freak and go hide. they would a.d.d. out and eventually swim right back in front of him.

Fluorocarbon Line
take a q-tip and wipe all your guides to check for any cracks or knicks that are cutting the line.

Skinny Bass?
most likely your predator population is to high and all your prey fry is being consumed before its gets big enough to provide any real nutrition. i would be taking out out all the smaller bass and pickerel i caught.

State Vs State - Episode 5 - Result Thread
alabama spotted bass state record 8lbs 15oz=143oz http://www.outdooralabama.com/fishing/freshwater/fish/bassblack/spotted/ fish weight 3lbs 4oz=52oz (52/143)x100=36.36 caught 4/24/13 on lake jordan by skipping a shaky head under a pontoon on a boat lift. not huge but its a start. two things i'm counting on. i catch a bigger one and everyone else forgets about spots you can see how worn the tail is from spawning. she was really under weight for this lake. she would score much better in a few months, or 2 weeks ago.

I Have No Clue What Happend D:
did you tie braid straight to the spool? if so you will need some mono backer then a joining knot like the uni to uni or alberto.

Good Bait Casting Rods Under 100$???
my dad and i have h2o express ethos 7'mh(his) and skeete reese 7'3''(mine) big worm/football jig rod. i really like both, but the ethos fills like a blue carrot stix super light, i got my SR during the spring classic with rod trade in and rebate offer i got it for $45 off. but if buying at full retail ethos all the way. and you just take it back to the store and get a new one if it breaks.

Grenada Lake,ms. Smallmouth?
spending the week with some friends on grenada lake mainly chasing croppie. in my reading up on the water i found out it has smallmouth. i would love to catch one as i have never even been on a lake with them before. does anyone have any info on how to get a hook in one i would greatly appreciate it. if had to guess the finness techniques i use on spots and largemouth would be a good start, but im lost as far as what structure and cover to target.
