Plain and simple.......Senko

The fact that The State of Michigan makes you wait at least until the end of April to Bass fish!!

This, has never failed me.

Ditto.........That's an old school word.

The picture is from Randall's boat. The guy had 50 boats follow him to the repair site after his breakdown. I think the photo is misleading in relation to the actual fishing. There is no way the spectators were that close to him. And finally the reports of people fishing right after the pros make a pass without giving them a chance to make a follow up in the opposite direction is a little alarming. But not surprising, we are talking about Alabama and Earnhardt fans.

I'm gonna suggest that you take a mini vacation up here in Michigan. Our Bass season starts at the end of April, which should give you plenty of time to cure whatever perceived fishing disorder you are currently suffering from.

I expect the Gman to have a very good tourney.

Up here magical things start to happen at 33 degrees................THE SNOW AND ICE STARTS TO MELT!!

Owner twistlocks for my senkos and Gamakatsu for everything else.

Equipment noise doesn't bother me, human noise can be very annoying.

This is a true exercise in futility for me. Having said that, I will keep it simple. Two of the following colors, white, black, and chartreuse. Each color consisting of a Colorado blade and a double willow leaf in gold and silver. All of them will be 1/2oz.

Considering the fact that most of my setups are braid with fluorocarbon leader. I use the san diego jam for just about everything except cranks which get the rapala.

One word, SENKOS.

That's my carping stick.

According to the Michigan DNR, you should cut the line. The hook should deteriorate over time.

Weightless Texas rigged Senko. Green Pumpkin, Pumpkinseed and probably any other color they make.

Ditto on that.

Tungston bullet weights 2 rods 1 reel and to satisfy my addictions, the obligatory random spinner bait and soft stick bait purchases.

It's called RESPECT.

If you guys get Jay Kumars bassblaster, you will notice that a guy in California landed a 16lber Friday from the bank. Bet ya never thought that could happen.

I don't have any answers to your questions. But I love the " As seen on TNN cable TV " that was back in the day.

You can't argue good advice. Every soft plastic I use has a dab of Megastrike on it. Even those that are already scented. I use Original, crawfish and Garlic.

Most of the tips and advice on this site and in these forums can be applied to bank fishing. I never got in a boat last year and still was able to catch a lot of fish from the bank. Except for deep water fishing, just about every technique can be utilized from the bank. This thread is a great place for the bankers to meet and discuss things. The forums contain such a wealth of information for all bass anglers, bankers or boaters, As anglers we have to be able to learn how to apply that information to our individual situations. A forum just for bank fishing would be full of duplicate information.. As far as I know, the bass have never been able to tell wether I was catching em from a boat or from the bank. They just knew they were caught!!

Is it the thumper?

Kowing that each day brings me a little closer to SPRING!!
