Some hardbaits just have that "it" factor. No tellin what it might be, i have a chug bug that i just cant replicate no matter how many of the same color i buy. I dont really recall ever being super surprised to catch a fish on a certain lure but i have been amazed at the size of fish that will hit big lures. Once caught an about 7 inch bass on a 12 inch worm. Greedy little critters

Thanks for the replies guys. I normally catfish off of the dock at night to catch some dinner for the next day. There are always a bunch of schools of bait fish busting a little ways off the dock and all around it. Never thought much of it until i saw the huge striper eating the crappie, now i just cant resist targeting them. Ill try tossing a fluke at the bait balls, i figure thats my best chance. Im fishin on lake sinclair, so i dont know if i could keep the cats from eating a liver or cut bait long enough for the stripers to find it. I've also heard that a big shad under a bobber works pretty well. any experience with that?

Alright guys, as the title says ive got some questions about striped bass. I was at the lake the other day andsaw some huge topwater blow ups and im thinkin this isnt a normal bass. In this particular cove there are always dead slab crappie. (no idea why) But i see one and it all of the sudden goes under water and pops back up a second later. Then i see a pretty big striper up at the top trying to eat. Are stripers scavengers like catfish? any idea on how to catch them off the dock?

Same as everyone else said, my duckett is bad about getting crap in the guides. Mine is loud but im using 50# power pro so i expect it

Thank you for such an informative and in depth response My grandfather may have had the same condition as you but he was too stubborn to go to a doctor and eventually just accepted not being able to see. I would imagine having fairly normal vision as a teen really helps a lot now. Sounds like youre doin alright at the moment, compared to what it could be. I wish you the best, they need to get on that research, theres more bass in need of lip piercings

Its great that youre out fishing but just out of curiosity, no disrespect intended, how do you know where to cast and such? I am just genuinely curious as i have never heard of a blind man fishing.

No pike down here

If it doesnt have any no tresspassing signs you should be good to go. Fish em all the time

I consider anything over a pound big, but the gills around here get huge

I always have my needle nose pliers in my pocket and my everyday pocket knife on my other pocket. They always get the job done

We had a chipmunk get in the house the other day when my mom left the door open to let the dogs go in and out as they please. Got under a tarp in her room that we had put a newly painted desk. The jack russel made very short work of it, just a few squeaks until it was utterly obliterated.

They have the really light ones at academy. Got mine for 20 on sale

Ive never personally eaten one but ive heard theyre pretty good and my dogs and cats sure do like em. I cant really think of much to do with the pelts aside from just hangin em on the wall in your man cave for decoration. You might could stitch a few of em together and make a reel cover?

Never had my thumb itself itch but i have had my fingers after removing the hooks through the gills of gut hooked fish (fish almost always survive). Its got something to do with the slime and your skin being broken. Dont bother me too bad so i dont pay much attention to it. But i do love it when your thumb gets all torn up after catchin a bunch of fish

I mainly use a texas rig for almost every worm. I only use a shakey head if ive already tried working the t-rig in every possible way and i feel like i need that worm to stand up to really get a good bite.

Im using the light weight frog tog rain suits and they work very well. I come out completely dry and dont seem to sweat any more than i already would (pretty good bit)

If there are a lot of frogs in the area, they should be pretty willing to eat something off of the top at any point in the day because its a part of their daily diet. But of course the best times for topwater are dawn and dusk

Any of the small rebel crankbaits absolutely destroy the gills out here and youll catch a few bass on em too

My go to morning bait would have to be a spook or the walking rebel frog (cant remember the name) but if youre goin out at 6, you need to get up earlier

Other than the usual hitting things while casting, ive caught a snake and lost a few phones.

Im lovin my revo s on a duckett micro magic. Reel is like butter and the rod is unbelievably sensitive

Right now im lovin the abu orra sx at $100.

Well if you really wanna stop em, id suggest a teniss racket strung with wire but if you wanna play nice id say just leave em alone

My local dicks has a pretty good selection. half the upstairs is all fishing stuff but a lot of it is low end. I much prefer acedemy

I used to use only ewg hooks and switched to normal round bend offset and never looked back. I will never use another ewg hook if i have a choice
