  1. Virgil Ward was the earliest . I watched his show whenever I could .
  2. The only one I throw is the Long A on 12 lb Big Game .
  3. If they had one fish then I would be worried . At zero fish ,like Montanaro said , there is a good chance they are out of cel phone reach . I have Defoe and my fingers crossed hoping that is the case . As I was typing this DeFoe just checked in with one but its a three and a half lber .
  4. Virgil is one of my biggest influences . After every show he showed how he worked his lures in an aquarium and he invariably would hop it off the bottom . So thats what I learned to do .
  5. Welll ,how come you didnt inform us earlier ?? I would have picked him .
  6. I've been an avid bass angler since the late 70's and last year was one of my most educational on bass behavior .
  7. I twitch the Bomber Long A Minnow . Its one of my best producing lures for big fish
  8. Might try a marabou jig used for crappie fishing . Just try to catch some panfish and you might find what you seek .

    The only prop tail jerkbait that I know of still in production is the Bagleys Bang O Lure . Mine is a Bomber . I have several new ones , that I stocked up on when they hit the clearance bins . My biggest 6 fish stringer ever was caught on one .
  10. Pauliniuk Defoe Combs Bertrand Hartman What is happening ?
  11. I saw bugs flying yesterday .At first I thought they were those dang floaters .
  12. I'm always searching for deals. But just because something is super cheap doesnt mean I'll buy it . There were some Strike King spinnerbaits marked way down a few weeks ago . I didnt need them I already have to much , so left them for the next guy .

    A colonoscopy is a piece of cake compared to some of the other stuff I have had .
  14. Hank 1 , Waylon , Willie and the boys , Statler Bros , the man in black ... I like old stuff. A lot of the Beatles , Eagles , Skynard , Allman Bros have a country sound that I like .
  15. I got my fantasy picks in . Some people have some kind of basketball bracket going . Whats up with that ?
  16. The further north you go the more seasonal lures play into it . You being from Texas , not so much .
  17. I usually drive 5 to 50 miles . My most frequent spot is a 200 acre lake 30 miles away where the Conservation dept supplies 14 foot jon boats for free . I am set up to fish local waters fast .A canoe for the streams , a plastic boat with built in wheels for small bodies with difficult access , Portable depth finder and trolling motor for lakes with rentals and my wifes deck boat for the big lake . I slapped an 85 lb thrust trolling motor on it , two depth finders , butt seat and it has a livewell . The front half is mine , the back half hers .
  18. Give us a description of the type of water you are fishing and are you fishing from shore or boat ? From bank , I dont bog myself down . One rod and a few lures. I usually make a couple cast move a couple of steps and repeat.
  19. I worked with a guy who was trying to get into bass fishing and he just gave up . He bought a boat , rods reel lures and expected to have success . He would complain to me that he is fishing where the bass are suppose to be , with the correct lures and getting skunked . He just wasnt cut out for bass fishing . I would say that more times than not , the bass are not behaving the way I suspect them to be . Connecting the dots to try and figure it out is fun to some people but not others . I love it .
  20. I dont want to have to be putting extra rods and boxes on the ground , make a few cast then pick them up , move a few feet and repeat . Being mobile with hands free and one rod allows me to make more cast and move freely .
  21. 1 rod and a vest . I bought a Flambeau creel bag last year for metal detecting and I'm going to give it a try .That would be better for carrying water .
  22. I might not get any work done Friday .
  23. Makes sense . After all depth finders pickup air bubbles rising to the surface . Now thats a signal that confused me for awhile .
