Bankbeater

BassPro because it is close to my house. Sometime this year a Cabela's is going to be opening up about 15 minutes away from my house.

This is bad. 2-7 is the largest LM I have gotten this year. If this keeps up I am going to start charging for dink removal ;D

What he said. I have caught enough dinks this year.

I don't know if the bass does, but I sure do when I get skunked ;D

Early in the A.M. I would hit the shallow areas. Then move to the deep end as the sun rises higher.

Did you add cover and structure to it?

I would always use crankbaits. I used a plastic worm a couple of times, but I never had the patience for it. I really started fishing plastics a just a few years ago.

Once a week. Sometimes twice a week if there is nothing else going on.

I like to work the flats until I find a large hole. Sometimes these get made when standing timber falls over. I think it adds some contour and an ambush point.

Hank Parker, for all you old timers out there Virgil Ward.

This forum is getting to hip for me. We got people sniffing bags of plastic baits and RW biting senkos.

I don't have a problem with cold water. What I have a problem with is my you know what freezing to the boat seat.

I like the stik-o from BPS. I haven't really tried any other brand.

A Bottom Line Fishin Buddy. The whole thing just clamps on the side of the boat.

Could have been a Muskie or a Cat.

I usually only get to go on the weekends so I really don't pay attention to them that much.

none.

Check with your State Conservation Dept. The little lake by my house is patrolled by the City Parks Dept. but it is maintained by the state.

Too heavy of an anchor and not enough anchor line.

I always try and hit the bank that the wind is blowing into. The wind will blow food floating on the surface to the bank and pile it up there for the minnows. The bass will follow the minnows.

Not paying attention and cutting the line and not the tag after you have tied on a new bait

Got one using catfish bait one time. I was fishing on the bottom in a small murky pond in about 2' of water and I saw a swirl around where the bait should be. I saw the line start going out, pulled back and came in with a largemouth about 1-1/2 pounds.

Spinnerbait. Don't know why i just don't like to throw them.

I said jon boat, but it depends on what the lake is like.

Where I am 2-4 is about the average size. Anything over 5 is an eye popper.
