Comfortably Numb

And you would probably deal with a manufacturer in Asia. They steal everything, contract or not. Hopefully Bobby will chime in with his knowledge.

$4.99 Only suspending squarebills I know of

I like Pre-Rapala Wiggle Warts in medium depth water. Rapala Scatter Rap cranks work well too Baker lures suspending Shads and cranks are my fav though. I do best on Bluegill,craw and shad colors

Been doing great with these Baker Shads. They suspend so you can move it very slowly in cold water and stay in the zone. Nice seducing wobble. I caught two bass on one bait recently. Great colors too. http://bakerlures.com/suspending-shad-lures/

Are y'all using the ewg or round ben style of KVD's?

What size short shank trebles would work best on 3/8 Wiggle Warts? Thanks....Bill

Yup, fallfish it is. My buddy says he catches them in the local rivers up to 16". I guess some got in the lake.

Thanks thats it. I heard of them but didnt know they were a predatory fish.

Caught this 10 incher today on a suspending squarebill crank. Hit while bait was suspended a couple secs in about 6' water. Bad pic but the scales were large and down the entire sides. Totally silver. Pretty large mouth. Looks like a grass carp or maybe herring? Would either be predatory fish? The lake has carp, but not grass I dont think. And arent they usually sterile? Thanks....Bill

Yes use the lanyard around your wrist or/and a float. Large carp shook and took mine down with him

Is this a spy pic of the new super secret Japanese rigging technique?

I would contact an automotive paint supplier or try these guys. http://www.custompaintingpearls.com/holographic-flakes/ .....Bill

I like this bluegill pattern and red craw.

I am going to have some pre rapala wiggle warts painted for personal use and posibly resale. I know I like Bluegill but what is a good desirable craw pattern. Red seems to be popular and hard to find. I have some brown craw and baby bass already Thanks...

About a 15# grass carp on a crankbait. It hit topwater as soonas it hit the water. Aparrently Grass Carp were feeding that way on Cicadas this year. I caught a couple more the same way in a few days, including a 22# and one over 30# that got off.

Find the shad and you should find the white perch. Thats how it works in my Virginia lake. They school up and suspend under them in any deapth of water and bust them on the surface along with the bass. I use a 1/16 jighead with a 2" white grub or a small Kastmaster spoon works well (cast better too)

Enter tournies as a non boater. You can fish the back of the boat and learn quite a bit. I would not look for sponsors until you get more experience. You dont want to make it look like you just want free baits and not a true sponsorship.

American Shad is a good starting color. Works in any water conditions. Pointer SP 78 and SP 100 are best sizes.

I like Firetiger in stained water. Make sure it rattles and suspends.

Looks like a pelican

Yes Keith I think that was it. Was similar to LV in its style and local waters. He was out of Watertown NY I think belive. Yup...... http://www.osegsportsmens.com/html/don_meissner.html

I was wondering if you were still filming. Didnt see any new episodes on your site for ages. Love me some Lunkerville!! BTW Mike, who was that kinda nerdy guy that had the fishing show based out of upstae NY I think? Must have been 20 years ago or so. He was a riot.

Whatever you get make sure it has Down imaging AND regular 2d sonar. I think some Humminbirds have this. Di alone wont cut it and you wont see alot of fish on it, especially with a small screen.

I understand it floated for a few minutes. It was not a fishing boat. At least no one got hurt.

For this guy. This is while being winched out. Truck and trailor were all the way under another 20' back. Divers hooked up a cable and tow truck winched it out. Aparantly he forgot to put it in park
