Does Getting Skunked Bother You?
I always tell myself it doesn't. It's part of the game and yada yada yada but let's all be honest here. It's bothers us all at least a little bit. Lol

The One Lure
Senko. Easily. You can always catch a fish on a Senko. Lol
-
What Is This Little Fish...
Don't know what it is. But I do know that fish eggs can be carried on birds feet and such.

Creature Baits
Not so much a creature bait as it is a grub but the Yamamoto Fat Ika is amazing!
-
Your Crankbait Preference?
Strike King KVD 1.5 and 2.5 squarebills and Rapala DT series. Bluegill or baby bass color.

Fishing After Weeks Of Rain
I always bring my 5 foot ultra light ugly stick with 4 pound test with me just in case the bass arent biting I can usually catch a few crappie and bluegill. I use tiny jigheads with little grubs. Caught a 4.2 and a 3.7 on it two weeks ago. Things felt like a freight train! It was an awesome fight. It got me slightly addicted to light line. Lol

Fishing After Weeks Of Rain
We've been getting a lot of rain here too and the fishing has been pretty good. I fish small quarry lakes. The water is stained, not sure how yours is. The cool rain cooled the water down and a lot of fish moved up into the newly flooded areas. The one I fish the stone company that owns it dumps big chunks of concrete in the and makes awesome rip rap. The fish are all up in there. Unweighted Senkos, squarebill crankbaits, spinnerbaits and chatterbaits have been crushing it for me.

Most Expensive Lure You've Lost
The most expensive lure I caught was actually one I found. I was using a deep diving crank and snagged up some line and on the other end was a brand spanking new Live Target crankbait. It was like a 8-9 dollar lure. Not a whole lot of money but it was the most expensive one Ive lost.

Favorite Lipless Crankbait
Good old Rattle Trap is my personal favorite. Chrome with blue back. I like Red Eye Shads too.

Used A Spinnerbait For The First Time Today.
You should use spinnerbait with wire tied skirts too. The rubberband on the cheap ones breaks very easily, especially if a peacock gets a hold of it. Or just do what I do and wire tie them yourself after you buy them.

Used A Spinnerbait For The First Time Today.
I like War Eagle and Terminator spinnerbaits. People will tell you to always use a trailer of some sort be is a grub or whatever but I rarely do. I do however use a trailer hook 90% of the time. Unless Im fishing around really snaggy cover. I fish them erratically as possible with pops, twitches and kills every few feet. LOVE ME SOME SPINNERBAIT BASSIN! Thats why the fall and really early spring/late winter and fall fishing are my favorite.

Bass Fishing On A Kayak?
Ever seen the kayak fishing show on WFN? Those guys reel in huge blue marlin and other massive fish and never ever tip over. No bass of any size will tip you over. Theyre a lot more stable than you may think. Yea itll pull you around a bit but there is literally zero chance of a bass tipping you over.

Strike King Kvd Squarebills
I'm a big fan of the 1.5 and 2.5, and use them a lot. Never had a problem with either. I try and bang them into crap as much as possible and never had a bill crack. Probably just a few defects in a production run.

Bass Teeth... Call Me Crazy
I play guitar and drums a lot. My hands and finger tips are covered in callouses too. The little pads dont shred up as easy it seems.

Bass Teeth... Call Me Crazy

Texas Rigged Senko
Not much you can do. Just the name of the game. I've trick every stick worm I could find, and while there is a few others I like and use, nothing wiggles like a Senko. Look at it this way, if you're losing a lot of Senkos it means you are catching fish!

Brandon Palaniuk Dq
Apparently his GPS was telling him he was in Wisconsin waters. Thats why he culled. He didnt purposely break the rule. Still i dont think they should fish waters with such silly rules. He was in a flurry of action in that spot. He was catching fish after fish. In the heat of the moment youre supposed to check your gps and make sure ypu cull in proper waters? Silly. Like i said too his gps told him he was in Wisconsin waters.

Hookset And Landing Fish With Crankbaits
Ive been using the 1.5 and 2.5 a lot this year. I really like the 2.5 the best. I never have any problems keeping fish pegged.
-
Hook Set Terms!
Gave em a lip piercing.
-
Hook Set Terms!
I always say "Got em" on every hookset. I don't even realize it, it just comes out.

Have A Bass Pond Problem
Youre problem is in your question. If you can see them then they can see you! Sometimes even if you cant see them they can still see you. Back up away from the bank or go further down and make long casts. Usually once they see you its tough to get em to bite.
