  1. It depends on the wind, and the structure or cover I am fishing at the time.
  2. I fish them the same way I would fish standing timber, or a pile up of logs. I know where there are a couple located, but with the lake levels down they're out of the water now.
  3. I seem to do better with bladed jigs fishing in water that sees a lot of fishing pressure. Most of the people I see out on the water are using spinnerbaits.
  4. The first thing I always do when I plan a trip is to see if I can find some kind of long range forcast. I tweak my plans as the trip gets closer.
  5. The only time I use a spinnerbait over a crankbait is when I am fishing around heavy cover like water willows, or lily pads. The rest of the time I use both and let the bass tell me what they want.
  6. Good going! Nice looking fish.
  7. The only brand I have really ever used is Z-man.
  8. Got this pic a couple of years ago.
  9. Dang! I'm starting to drool!
  10. I haven't fished with Daiwa reels in quite a few years. Most of the BC reels I have are Abu and Shimano reels, but I can't really tell how a reel feels until I get it on a rod and make a few casts with it.
  11. Bass Resource is what I watch the most. Sometimes I just do a search on bass fishing, and then start watching the results in the order they popped up.
  12. Outlaw Josie Wales, the original True Grit, and The Magnificent Seven. I have to throw in Blazing Saddles. I bust up every time I watch it.
  13. 6:3:1. I like to slow roll chatterbaits along the bottom. I hardly ever burn them.
  14. I check the knot and line after I get free from a snag. I also check after pulling a fish out of heavy cover. I retie when I change baits.
  15. A PB is a PB. Congratulations!
  16. Like the vids. Very informative.
  17. That's a nice bass!
  18. I use them for jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and some topwaters. Jigs and plastics get tied direct.
  19. Last year it was a 4" tube. This year it may be something different.

    I tie direct.
  21. I think Punxsutawney Phil needs to go out and find a real job.
  22. Welcome!
