My yahoo account got locked for 12 hours because I put in the wrong email several times. Although I made a new email and my dad sent all of the pictures to it and it took him about 30 minutes to send. So it will probably take a wile to download them from my email, or even receive them. Sorry for the wait guys but right when they download I will post them. I will be up all night so I will get them.

Ok I have the pictures. I am going to upload the main pics and some of the fish we caught k.

My dad has them on a cd at work and he is going there tomorrow.

The deer over at Okefenokee are not scared of people at all. They will go into your site and look at you haha. Which is bad though because that usually means that people feed them and that's bad.

On my dads hardrive at his office. Will either go tomorrow or the next day.

I want to start this off by saying this experience happened about 4 years ago, and I thought that I could just share this memory with everyone. It was Tuesday in the Okefenokee Swamp. We went up on Monday and went out the next day. We put our Riverhawk in the water about 7:00 am, and we just went along the banks to see if we could catch some bass, well to our lack of knowledge about the mudfish in that swamp we had no idea of what we were catching till we found out the next day. Back to the story, we were catching some bass, allot of mudfish, and some chain pickerel. But what the fun part was is whenever we had a fish on we would have to reel it in really fast because of the alligators. I mean there were just so many of them, they would even come about 3 feet away from the boat! And this is where it gets interesting. We started hearing some commotion in the woods, we thought it was just a deer playing around. The deer ran straight into the water and there was an alligator right in front of it! The alligator took the deer by its back and I felt a shiver on my back when that deer screamed, I mean it was something you would only see on YouTube if not Discovery Channel. And what we heard from the rangers when we told them about this is that the alligators will take the deer and put them under a log and let the body decay, and there will be reports of deer carcasses floating down the swamp. But back to the rest of the story. After we took the pictures of the deer being death rolled they both vanished. We were kinda freaked out because we didn't know if they were going to come back up and hit the boat ( this was not even 10 feet in front of us). We never saw them again but astonishingly we heard something else in the woods running, it was a huge black bear! The reason we were so surprised about that to is because we were wondering if we would see any bears while we were there. Later that day we showed the pictures of the alligator and the deer, and the black bear to the park rangers and they were amazed. They told us that a black bear would never get that close to that water, let alone stand in the water on the bank. I am sorry that this not a recent fishing trip, but I think that this is one I will never forget, and the reason why is because I shared that experience with my brother and my dad. As always have a nice day. Will post pictures soon. HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!!

PS: I was fishing in the shallows so there might be more bass then you think, then again I don't know where you live and it was really cloudy here. Have a nice night.

I always fish it weightless on the banks when i'm shore fishing. But when I'm out in my dads boat we usually fish it weightless but sometimes we will fish it with a small weight just to be able to swim it. Today I went out for like 3 hours and caught 2 bass, they were both about a pound and a half. I was fishing in a creek that feeds right into a decent lake and there was just so much action in the shallows of like 3-5 pound bass. But when you get a bite you will tell, they completely swallow it and they will start pulling it. But then again I have never used those colors, I usually use a green pumpkin or a dark brown one. I recently went and bought some white pearl and blue ice. I'm going to go and try them out tomorrow. Have a great them trying them out, you will catch allot of fish.I've been using them for 5 to 6 years.

Why is the quarter there? A shiner lol?

Thanks guys. Yeah logan9209, I had it once where I casted a rapala minnow and right when it hit the water BAM! A 3/4 bass. And the second cast after I released that bass another bass! But this one was 3/0. I don't know why they did that. Maybe they were just really hungry? But thank you again for your help, I will be testing this out later today when it's no 106 degrees

Hi, I was wondering if anybody here know's how to use a popper http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shopsreg;-Tourney-Popper/product/10225056/81734?cmCat=CROSSSELL_PRODUCT (I have the chrome and black one). Iv'e heard if you throw it in a school of shad they are good but how do I get one to strike it? I was fishing with it today and 3 bass went at it but then turned around. One of them I played with or like 10 minutes, it kept on going up to it an basically touching it, but then it would not strike ( PS: I was fishing from the banks)! If anybody could help me out that would be great. Thank you.

Thank you for the info. Anyone else?

Hi, I think I may have been fooled that this is a good combo. The price range I have is 60 or 70. And I was wondering if this was a good combo for this price. Like would it run smooth or will it last at least 2 years? Please give me some advice, that would be great!http://www.basspro.c...10823344/481602 Gear Ratio: 6:3:1 Length: 7" Power: Medium Heavy Line Weight: 10-20 lbs. Lure Weight: 3/8 - 1-1/2 oz.

I have a 5'6 med action BPS graphite series rod. And a Abu Garcia 5'6 med action as well. when I found them in my dads shed they came with those rods, just need to straighten one of the tips on the abu garcia.

Thank you very much for giving me this information. I am going fishing tomorrow and trying it out.

Hi I was wondering what line I should I put on my baitcaster for a crankbait or a jig. I have 6LB Mono, 10LB invisi-brade, 8LB original, 10LB rapala, 20LB braid, and 50LB braid. I'm fishing where there are some sticks but not many.

I have a Triforce 153c, and an Ambassadeur 5000c. Which are both old. So I don't know what type of rod to get for them. I want to get two rods.

Is Field & Stream Sportsman IM6 Casting Rod a good rod for pitching or flipping a jig? Also are they good for crankbaits, spinnerbaits, basically and all around rod? I am thinking about getting two of them. And are they for baitcasters?

We used a scrub and it didn't work haha.

Well I don't know what to do. And I can't seem to get any answers lol. Thanks for answering though.

Never mind.

Hi I was wondering if anyone new how to get corrosion off of a reel. I heard that you can put it in a glass full of vinegar but i thought that would ruin the paint or something. If you could help me that would be great!

Thank you guys very much. We are going to put 12# mono, or floro. Which one should I do?

I found a zebco rod lol. It is 6', would it work with a Dawai Triforce 153c?

So jigs won't work?
