I am trying to find a good combination of skirt tabs which I can use to imitate a Yellow Perch. Was wondering if any of you have any suggestions. I generally buy my skirts from fishingskirts.com but I am not opposed to try elsewhere. Thanks

I have made more friends since I started fishing than with any other hobby. It's what keeps me interested in doing more and more with the sport. I am trying to get my girls interested in it. My wife is another story.

Buy a tournament jersey with brands all over it Kidding!

I am here in this camp as well.

I am shocked! I swore the croc would start rolling once they were back in the water. Pretty cool.

Finesse worms and rodents/beavers are my preference. For the heavier one with larger hooks I have thrown a 10" curly tail worm.

I throw my Swim Jigs on the same rod/reel line combo which I throw my spinnerbait on. I would suggest a 6'6" - 7" MH F. Reel at least a 6.4:1 some prefer faster. As for line I am a 12lb Fluoro guy myself. On occasion I will throw a 1/2oz Swim Jig on my Jig Rod. I end up using it both as a swim jig and a regular jig at the same time. I need to do more with it next season. A very fun bait to catch fish with.

True fun fishing to me is when I am out alone messing around with different baits and trying to catch fish. No agenda, just working different stuff. The excitement of catching something on a new bait or technique is a blast! I enjoy tournament fishing but it's not as much fun as what I mentioned.

Happy Birthday Mike!

I was going to ask the same question ... I thought you meant 12 tabs. Those do look great!

Good luck buddy ... Had a friend do this and he was a million bucks after it was all said and done (rehab etc.). Just be patient and don't force yourself to do too much too soon. The fish will be there when you are ready.

Similar to Jika rig. I have had success with senkos and small beavers.

For the T-Rig I personally am a 3/0 - 4/0 EWG. I prefer VMC at the moment.

I own an Orra S 20 and I use it on a 6'3" Skipping Rod. I use 10lb braid with an 8lb FC leader. Mine came with an extra spool. That one has 10lb FC on it.

I get that .... Maybe I am not conveying my question properly ... I am curious about how you apply learning a new technique based on what they refer to as cold water. So example ... The Jerkbait ... When used in Georgia or farther south they may refer to temps in the 50's - 60's in general. Do you then look to try that technique up north at those same temps or do you vary the dergees for where you are.

I am a non-boater in the same type of league ... You can't neglect the things RW mentioned. Do the math and when it's all said and done you are fishing at a bargain price.

So ... I learned a long time ago that when referring to cold water it's all relative. What's cold up here in Albany, NY in early spring/late fall is different than in Orlando, FL. I get that part. I was curious how those of you who read articles or watch videos apply the teaching to your area. Especially when they refer to things like "cold water" and "hot waters".

I went last year and loved it. I plan to attend again this year as well. I made a day of it between the workshop sessions, all the vendors (including our own Megastrike) and demonstrations. Last year I met Ike and Ish. Get there early. It loads up quick.

1. I use both. Rage when I want more action. 2. Sweet when I want subtle and Kinky when I want some more action. Boy that sounds bad. Lol

Stay strong brother!

Do micro guides ensuring a longer casts a ploy?

This is there being prepared for anything is key. Aa co-angler in my first year I found myself in situations I was not comfortable with at all. Namely deep water and clear water. In my first experiences through those conditions I found myself unprepared and tried my best with what I had with me that day. I struggled for limits on those days. In year two I was much better prepared (Tackle, baits etc.) You would be smart to have at least one technique handy for various depths which can produce. The simplest is a series of bullet weights up to 1oz and Senkos, finesse or trick worms of various sizes. A bass will bite a worm no matter how deep they are.

Looks like the others beat me to it ... If I am watching MILF on my TV then I would get in big, big trouble.

Google "Google Chromecast" and the first link is the URL to set it up.

No it's just a way to wireless present stuff on your TV using Google Technology. Right now you can broadcast 1. Google Chrome - Anything you see on your Google Chrome Browser. Websites etc. This includes MLF. 2. YouTube - Present YouTube videos right from your pc, phone or otherwise. Tested this with Bassresource vids from my iPod Touch, 3. Google Play - Movies, TV shows, music. Similar to iTunes. You buy or rent and can show it on your PC or TV via this tool. 4. Netflix - With netflix installed on your machine you can also share those movies as well. YOu still need a separate subscription to netflix. I don't have this so I won't be testing this out. Apparently more things are coming.
