Diggy

I lost a 5+ fish in front of my lady the 1st time she went fishing with me, it broke my line and stole my red eyed shad. She was so excited when she noticed the fishing rod was bent into a J and then seeing the fish jump 3x. I have finally gotten over it.

There is a super target on okee and 441, the lake in the plaza is pretty big and has lots of shoreline. There are bass, bream, chichlids, bluegil, etc in it. There is a park off of haverhill rd heading towards beeline hwy that has plenty of water and bass

They would need a cab to get back to the water from where they were throwing them. If the animals dont eat them, then you will smell them stinking up the area. When I use to dispose of them in the bush they would be dead within the hour covered in flies. The only time I've seen one get into the water is when they come off of the hook right on the shoreline or slide down off of an incline.

they just throw them on the bank

exactly

was the water rough?

I've been concentrating on catching them to take a break from bass fishing. The funny thing is that I've also met some other people that fish for snakes. They complain to me about how they destroy the bass population and how they should be killed. They tell me they know some spots loaded with them but when I ask where, they are tight lipped and don't want to tell me. I asked, what happened to saving the bass and getting snakes out of our waters, murder murder murder, kill kill kill? *crickets chirp* I usually get the ol' ill see you later

got some 3/0 worm hooks today from them

I like to mix and match.

Hatcam next time young chap

You could buy a few and flip them and get the size you want else where if not satisfied

The mg has 7 to 1 but its not listed. I bought one from gander but its not on any sites

In a pickle

To say Lew's is back in a big way would be an understatement. They have a large prostaff. Their reels are gaining a reputation for being good quality reels, that last and now they've released more than 100 new rods and reels across more than 20 different series. The flagship of the new launch has to be the release of the 21st century version of their original BB1 Speed Spool. This is the reel that guys like David Fritts made famous for cranking. The reels are simply put, amazing. They are 10 ball bearing reels and the BB1 features a multi-stop anti-reverse just like the old reels that enables a crankbait fisherman to feel the bait much better in his hand because of that added freedom in the anti-reverse. But the reel is not the reel of yesteryear. This reel is low profile, great braking systems, clickable tension knobs, solid cranking handle, and the line guide is set further away from the spool to give anglers a much improved casting distance which is paramount to a good crankbait reel. The best part is the reel is $159. It comes in 5.1:1, 6.4:1 and 7.1:1 gear ratios with three right hand models and three left hand models. The next reel that blew us away was the Team Lew's Pro Speed Spool. It's the high-end model in the Lew's baitcasting line-up at $299. It has 11 bearings, a one piece aluminum frame and sideplates, frictionless titanium line guide, dual braking systems a lighter bowed handle with EVA grips all in a package that only weighs 5.9 ounces. A lot of the pros were excited about that new reel. They also introduced a Super Duty Speed Spool for flipping, pitching, frogging and other heavy power techniques with a heavy-duty handle, braid ready spool, solid brass gears, soft touch rubber paint on the sides to keep a good grip and more features for a $179.99 reel. On the spinning reel side they released a Speed Spin, Laser and Laser Lite at $59.99, $39.99 and $29.99 respectively. The Speed Spin comes in five sizes from 100 to 450 size bodies and spools. They feature a soft touch armor finish for slip resistance, drilled forged aluminum spool, Oversized line roller, one way clutch bearing and their speed lube for smoothness. On the rod side, the Team Lew's Speed Stick had the Lew's pros really excited. This their top of the line tournament driven series of rods with 9 casting actions, a flipping stick, 3 crankbait rods and 6 spinning rods at a $179.99 price point. The rods are 85 million modulous rods with Fuji KR Concept Micro guides. The feature cork split grip handles, skeletal graphite reel seats and a multilayered, multidirectional blank. The rods looked great and felt very light in your hand. We'll be following back around on more Lew's product later but that's some of what we really liked from this massive 100 product introduction.

They won best of show @ icast. They look so much gooder than last years in the specs dept. My pockets will. soon

Heard nothing but good things about them. Id rather that than the black max. All aluminum and centrifugal brakes on the mettle makes it better IMO unless you need a LH then you will have to go blackmax

Yes, from fishing, too much. Ive been walking the banks for miles in the sun catching snakeheads. The repeated casts and uneven terrain makes the sun more brutal....I can sit an fish senkos under a tree covered area all day or catch peacocks in a much shadier area than where I have been fishing. I may have to invest in one of those hasmat suits soon. I dont think I could stay indoors any more than I do now unless its raining and even then its still time to fish. I think a boat would take away the pain somewhat

Im like 40 shades blacker and my nose is peeling. Im almost purple my friend told me this is the darkest Ive ever been, that sun is no joke I may need to do some bass fishing so I can stand in one spot for a few hours

still looking to catch one at some point in my life...its on my fish bucket list

We caught about 8 on Sat between my friend and I and lost about 5 more. I missed a small dink bass at the opening posters pictured location in the lillies. Did catch a small bass elsewhere on a humpin toad This was my biggest of the day, the way it was caught was a blooper reel once he took my booyah frog, luckily it wasnt on tape. We went out about 9 and ended about 4:30...it was fire hot after we left our shadiest locations. God Bless Gatorade and water.

Thats nice right there. I may give a go at them on the weekend. Ive only been fishing snakeheads and catching bass on accident. If nothings biting Ill goto mayans and bream

quantum makes a 2 piece microguide rod that is sold at gander mntn called "response" its about 60 bucks BPS makes several, some veritas are also in 2 piece

Maybe the other fish have gone deeper since it's been hot? You also said occasional.

I'm fishing snakeheads with a carbon lite mh and no problems, the strikes and hooksets are violent.
