as Catt said, time on the water, patience, bigger baits, slow down. Bigger fish don't like to chase baits. Fish where bigger fish live to increase your odds. You don't need every bait made, just a few will do. Bigger soft plastics, jigs, big topwater,shiners work the best. Another person to check out is the late Doug Hannon. He lived to catch bog bass here in Fl. you can find videos on YouTube. Good luck.

1st of Jan. till the end of December..............

night fishing can be so much better when your the only one out there........you pay more attention to whats going on around you. your senses are heightened and you seem to be more aware of your surroundings. I love it.

this in a nutshell is where it's at.

I have something similar for 20 plus years. love it. also I keep a small file in my gear.

there must be something wrong with me. cause when I get to fish I don't care that it's hot, cold, etc. been working outside my whole life and it doesn't get to me as bad as others. I just take precautions when extreme temps. are around. my mother had me tested.......

if it has been raining it will muddy up. but this time of year fish as deep as you can. always be aware of schoolers at anytime. it can make an ok day into a fantastic day. good luck.

have not fished from the bank. yes it is as good as anywhere. this time of year as hot as it is morning is going to be best time. I love lake B. Great Lake all around. have a decent depth finder and you can find some pretty good offshore structure.my favorite lake to Carolina rig a tube. I use a flipping tube when C-rigged. other lakes are great also, you could spend a week there and not fish the same lake twice.

Happy Birthday Tom.

any soft plastic works weightless.just gotta figure what works for you.

I have always said. "pain reminds you that your still alive"

we love em all. thanks for the work you put into them.

the shop where I work has been looking for a mechanic for over 2 years now. right now it's the boss and me. last year I did 90% of the jobs that came through the door. my boss is always busy with service calls, we both run the wrecker also. we have talked to only 4 guys in all that time. and not one of them would take their eyes off of their phone while trying to talk to them.it is a bad problem in this world right now. not down the road but NOW.

have never had a problem with owners. even had an elderly couple offer me some sweet tea once. it was good. always respect others property and they will respect you.

2 packs of worms. 1 spinnerbait. 1 sqarebill. won't use spinnerbait or crank bait but will have them "just in case" . both rods will be used for worming. everything will fit in a 1 gallon ziplock bag.

Zebco 202,solid glass 5 foot rod. was 5 years old when I got it. used it for about 2 years.

oh, I'd say about 40 lbs. ............yeah that'll do it....

this.............

there is way more to Bassresource than fishing.............way more. Big thanks to all.

I keep a toothpick in my mouth......better than floss.

set it and forget it...........hooksets don't cost a dime. but if you don't set you'll never know what could have been.

for me both.
