Nice going! Those are some nice ones.

If I can get some vacation time from work, I'd love to get down to Bull Shoals, or Table Rock.

Jason. He keeps quiet and gets right to work.

We are suppose to have a snow over the weekend. Makes me wonder what spring is going to be like, or if we'll go straight into summer.

Lazy Ike's Jitterbugs Big-O Floating Rapala I'm always amazed when I tell people that I use these. They act like only the new lures will catch bass.

Normally, the 1/2 ounce size is my go to size. I will use a 1/4 ounce size when fishing around cover because of the slower sink rate. I like the blue/chrome Cordell spots for sunny and bright conditions. The rest of the time I use rat-l-traps.

Sam, I hate to say this, but do you have a basement?

No twits here.

LOL!!

I'd probably use a lipless bait, swim a jig, or use a spinnerbait.

I would turn on the video, then I would go ahead and catch it.

This weekend I am going to have to buy a fishing license for 2014.

BR runs fine on my android the way it is. I just created a shortcut and put it on my homepage.

I would include a H or a MH. When you are fishing heavy cover, that extra muscle can come in handy.

If I am going to be using a lot of crankbaits, and I will be needing to change baits often, then I will put on a snap. Not a swivel. If I know a certain crankbait will work, and I know that I'm not going to be changing baits often, then I will tie on. For me it all comes down to time. It's faster to use a snap, but I feel more secure when I tie on.

Never tried a snell knot for punching, but I have used them a lot for catfishing.

"God does not deduct, from man's alloted time, those hours spent fishing". "A bad day fishing is still better than a day at work".

The southwest corner of Mo. has several nice lakes, and good scenery to make up for it when the bite is slow.

The deeper I am fishing, the less I worry about color. I will usually fish darker colors when I am fishing down 15+ feet. IMO, the rest of the stuff listed falls into place when you find the fish.

Sounds like you will be talking about this vacation for a long time.

I have some ultra light rods that are 5'-0" long. The shortest rod I use while bass fishing is 6'-6".

Good job! You have some nice ones there.

I usually log on right after I get to work, before I start my shift. Then again during lunch time. I don't get on too much during the weekends or at night.

Four new tires for my car, and the weekly groceries.

Comgrats on the double digit bass!
