JigMe

man, it is too cold to fish this weekend. I just stayed home and watched my T.V.

Somehow buzzbait work best for me in the morning, maybe it is just the area where I am fishing at.

GK, Actually, shortbasser has offered me a older daiwa reel for my bud. I am grateful that he made that offer, and it free up my funds to buy him lures, line, etc. Thank you again GK.

It was a curoda 200 E7, it does comes with all the original box and manual. The guy who is selling it seems to be a big time fisherman. He had at least 10 shimano, and few rods at that garage sale.

Actually, I did checked out the flea market here and someone had a curado for sale. But he wants 170 for it, I think that reel goes for 170 new. If it is like 120 or something, I might talk my wife into buying it...ohh well.

I have a Daiwa Procaster, heavy, 1/4-1 1/2 oz lure, 17-30lb line and looking for a baitcaster reel. Any suggestions? This rod is sort of old, but I am buying a decent reel and giving it away to a friend who recently lost a leg in the army. After coming back, he never goes out and living on a limited budget. So I took him out for fishing, and he really enjoyed it. But, my wife only gives me a budget of 100 bucks to get him a set(lure, rod, reel, etc). So, any suggestions will help guy, thx. I really appreciated it.

I fish from shore quiet often, and lily pad doesn't bug me at all. I found small mouth intent to stay close to those lily pad, and I have some luck with buzzbait in the morning then T-rig in the afternoon.

I used to play video games, until marriage and wife...then... :'(

I have been using terminator, but would give megastrike a try.

Cross breed? ;D

thats a nice bass

I go with slower presentation, and use power worm. P.S. sqhertz started another topic, lets see how many pages this one gonna go.... : I am kidding! ;D

30-40minutes during the weekday. And probably 4 hours on sunday watching sports.

You can get a decent pair for 80 bucks. I like Oalkey for the sporty looks.

My wife luv to fish for perch, because she can get one every 5 minutes... ;D

Looks like backpacks are most popular.

Nick, I just saw the review on the backpacks, and few folks got negative feedback on the straps. Do you have that problem with the xps stalker?

CABELAS, with built in cooler and rod tube on sale right now for 30 bucks w/o boxers, EXCELLENT DEAL I luv you Muddy. Just picked one up!

backpack sounds like a good idea. Where do you store your lures at? Buy those clear plastic box?

Everything was going pretty well today. The weather is nice and catching few bass until I accidentally Step onto my tackle box, then cracked it. > Are you guys taken a tackle box when fishing from the bank? If not, what are you guys using for storage?

Berkley 7" powerworm original scent. I like green pumpkin and electic blue.

Nice bass. easily a 5lber.

Matt, 20 bucks+ per trip for live baits. $4.99/dozen for minnows...not 24 dude! But still over priced, I remember when I was a kid and living at Tyler, Tx it was like 50 cents a dozen.

Bassn Blvd, from my posting above I said $4.99/dozen for minnows and I will get 2 dozens at time. Then 2-3 boxes of grass shrimp, which goes for $4.50/box. That's how I end up spending 20 plus per trip on live baits.

Bassn Blvd, I am talking about small minnows. I get them from a small bait shop on the way to the lake. All the live bait in that shop is raised by the owner; I guess that's why it cost so much?
