Theres not a lot of rock where I fish except I do fish a lot of rip rap. Theres not a lot of sharp edges on riprap.

Lizard baits
I like lizards a lot. They work spring, summer and fall , from shallow pitching to deep points, in purples and electric grape .

Spring essentials
Pre spawn a spinnerbait with magnum willows are effective. Its also when I start twitching a bomber Prop A which is a Long a Minnow with a tail prop. Its dynamite and being I'm about the only person who has some , the bass dont see them .

Spotted Bass Q's
I dont get to fish for spots often. A couple of years back, I lucked into them when they were bedding. Dark brown tubes were getting a lot of results.

Scott Martin Self-DQ's at Lake Okeechobee
Someone mentioned on the Matt Herren thread that another angler was being investigated and possibly disqualified for the Okeechobee event . Then Scott self reports himself a day before the event on a conversation that happened a few weeks back. I think theres more to the story.

Scent
Remember Real Claw. It was crawfish oil and oil based scents reportedly dont work. Anyhow, I was fishing a worm doused with Real Claw around 20 foot deep . I detected a bite and slowly reeled a keeper bass to the surface, then set the hook. Dont know if the scent played a part in the bass refusing to let go or not.

Watching electronics vs. fishing
I use to spend a lot of time idling around staring at the screen, in an effort to learn it. Now I spend less time , with it , more time fishing. I use two D units and identify fish arches, thermoclines, structure and cover fairly quickly. I keep marker buoys handy when I see something that catches my attention. Old school, I know but I enjoy fishing that way.

What's your most memorable bass?
See my avatar. I caught those in a farm pond using a cane pole. I remember my cane pole breaking while landing one of those bass. Thats the day that hooked me on fishing.
