  1. If someone in the top 4 is already in the Elites , do they drop down to the next guy ?
  2. I searched but did not find the answer . Who qualifies for the 2021 Elite series from the Bass Opens ?
  3. ^ Thats a good looking bait .
  4. I use to troll with one across the mouth of a creek arm . It was rare to make it all the way across without catching something .
  5. I have used a lot of Mister Twister products over the years .I havent recently because I ran out and have so many plastics , that I need to try to use them up . I still have a Mister Twister spinnerbait . It has a three way swivel on it with two blades side by side . Thats the only spinnerbait I ever seen like it . It pulls hard . I also had some MisterTwister buzzbaits .
  6. I cant help it .?
  7. I cant fish them in rip rap . They get wedged on most cast .
  8. It has the oil injection . I did not see the fuel filter . I tried priming the bulb when it is running but it didnt do any good . I'll try pumping the primer bulb to check for leaks . I guess I'll have to have it checked out and the gasket glued back on when I winterize it . Thanks a lot .
  9. Its a 98 . Guys I am very mechanically challenged . Things just dont click for me . After removing the cowling the seal came off . Does that have to be glued back in ? Because its impossible to put back on without it falling off . If it needs an adhesive , what do I get . I did an internet search and found zilch on the subject .
  10. On your 8 foot deep lakes , there really isnt going to be a turnover like on deeper bodies . The water is not deep enough to form layers .
  11. I bought it used five years ago . I havent changed it .
  12. My sister in law uses swivels bigger than the jigs she uses . She doesnt catch anything either .
  13. I have a 115hp evinrude. Sometimes it runs great other times it loses power . I'm thinking there is a clog somewhere . The primer bulb squeezes until its hard and stays that way but I kind of think that is where the problem is . I just used it every day for a week and squeezed the primer every morning . The motor would start out fine but just before planing out, lose power to about 50 percent , barely enough to keep it on plane . The last morning I did not squeeze the primer and it ran pretty good . It did cut out a couple of times but regained itself . I'm thinking a fuel line issue or bad primer . It starts and idles fine .
  14. I have one in the 5 to 1 gear ratio . Its my crankbait reel . I have no complaints on it . Real smooth , cast great .
  15. My LOZ trip was cold , rainy and windy . Did not catch a bass worthy of a photograph but took one the final day to show the front end of my boat . I have a 22 foot LOWE Deck boat . Wife wanted a pontoon I wanted a bass boat so we compromised . I call it the Mullet . Business in front , party in back .
  16. I like the chartreuse Sexy Shad .Caught a 6 lber on it two weeks ago .
  17. Those cammo wrapped rods are a gimmick . I bought three last year on clearance.Not because of the cammo but they felt nice in the store . Man those things are heavy .I dont konw how much weight the wrap adds to it but it feels like a lot .Yesterday was the last day I'll use one of those things . I have three rods on order to replace them .
  18. In my life Texas rigged plastics by far . But the last several years I have been going to them less and less . Not on purpose , I'm just having a lot of success with other lures . A lure gets hot I'll fish it to death .
  19. I like to fish flats near drop offs 'watch for gulls" between 8 and 15 foot deep . A 1/4 ounce Red Eye Shad will wear them out . Lift and drop , or a steady retrieve with pauses . Drum and catfish are often found with the whites . I rarely find largemouths mixed in .
  20. I like cranks best . Deep Wee R's and Model A's follow the contour down pretty well . Cast shallow at about a 45 degree angle, let the crank follow the contour down to about 8 foot .
  21. I go fishing with one lure and combo a lot . When I'm fishing ditches for "Ditch Pickles and they get quite big " or wading a river for smallmouths I often take a med. baitcaster with 12 lb test and large Beetle Spins .
  22. Some folks like Maryann others Ginger . I prefer Ginger .
  23. Just keep trying . Thats all any of us can do . Its hard to give advice when we dont know where you are fishing , your equipment...
