Ive only used 2 different baitcasters 1 being the Abu silvermax which i had back in highschool and served its purpose. The other being the BPS Bionic (last years model?) which i love, i can cast it a mile, never have problems with it. Ill get a fancy reel one day

i was digging through this bin today. but my hands were already full with some other lures the bomber spinner baits looked cheap, anybody have experience with them the lazy ike was somethin i had never seen before either, anybody throw these?

looks like these guys got you off to a great start,i just started fishing a few years back when i was in highschool. and i started the same way 6-7' spinning setup and Soft Plastics. cant beat em, specially fishing from the shore IMO I caught more bass and had more fun my first year or 2 fishing public areas with nothing but a texas or carolina rig typically with a trickworm.. ive sinced moved and no longer have areas to bank fish, so i got a canoe.. then a jon boat. still trying to figure out how to catch fish from a boat consistently. whole different game just have fun, and start slow dont try to master 10 different techniques at the same time.

Catch a 5lb bass Catch a SmallMouth Enter and win atleast one of the jonboat tournaments im gonna enter.. dont care if i win big bag or biggest bass.

i like his show for the reasons stated. just Fun to watch. someone who enjoys what hes doing. just catching fish. on the other hand theres shows where they have to be catching trophy fish to crack a smile. Same reason i like watching Shaw Grigsby, first time i saw him on tv i just sat there laughing with a buddy, how excited he was catching keepers. around the time i started fishing alot. same reason im happy with ultralight and bluegill when there biting all day

Id definately pull the hub and check the seals. no sense in waiting for a malfunction to tell you the problem... i speak from experience haha. i did a conversion on my jonboat last summer and never got around to fixing up the trailer... first trip of the season this year (last friday).. a bearing seized just a mile from the house. and i popped the tire and ruined the rim dragging it home.. tire needed replacing anyways ... my inner seal was destroyed from some fishing line that was wrapped around the axle, lettin water in

i just run my jonboat up on shore and head for the trees unless theres completely noone in sight on the river. id be pretty mad if i got caught for indescent exposure for relieving myself

yeayea dont get used to seeing kimbrel giving up runs haha.. theres really no excuse for only scoring 1 run. guys need to stop swinging for the bleachers. Cant wait for opening day .. just wont feel right without Chipper though

Only thing. i had any consistent luck with on the river last year. Fishing rock walls with this cheap walmart crank. Caught nothing big but quite a few bass and some nice size bluegill

Only war movies i care for are based on history. WW1-2 being most recent Heres a few Last of the Mohicans, The Crossing, April Morning, Enemy at the Gates, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Ride with the Devil, The Patriot, Braveheart

Spinnerbaits... can not catch fish on them. Have been bass fishing regularly. For 6ish years.. diff colors sizes and brands every year and not one single hookup. Maybe this is the year gonna try my best to figure those things out. Every angler swears by them My standby of softplastics carolina or texas rigged has not worked so well either. Ive always bank fished primarily till this past year i built up a jonboat and seems like i gotta relearn how to fish.

heres my Jonboat still not completely finished but its ready for water once again. still need to mount my minnkota edge on the bow 14' GameFisher Johnson 9.9 Minnkota 30lb (stern) Bilge pump Lowrance DSI Storage compartments Seasense Switch Panel

tons of them in this thread http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/25442-any-pelican-bass-raider-owners-out-there/

As another jonboater, i think a 15-20lb anchor would be plenty sufficient. like was already said please anchor at the bow, specially on a smaller boat it doesnt take long for a 14ft boat to take on water. i fish for catfish alot so i anchor often when possible i like to anchor off bow and tie the stern off loosely to structure of some sort just to keep the wind from spinning the boat in circles while im trying to keep the lines tight. when anchoring keep in mind Wind, how choppy the water is and dont forget about the pleasure boaters who seem to be looking for a chance to swamp the little boats. dont want their wake coming over your stern, trust me on that. happend one of the first times out on the river bass boat decides to fly by 15 ft from me while im anchored at the edge of the river even though it was 75 yards wide at that spot . took on a good bit of water and had to start bailing, i now have a bilge pump

well figured id introduce myself. joined a few years ago only posted a few times, did lots of Lurking and learned Alot here. spent last year fishing lots of catfish and panfish (why buy meat when you can Catch it ).. but im back again to learn some more gonna focus a "little" more this year on the almighty largemouth, gonna enter and basically give away my money in some jonboat tourneys aswell haha. i may not post much but need to learn some more techniques Looking forward to more lurking Thanks
