buzzed bait

every time we go to the freakin' beach.... never give up, never roast!!

here you go, picture's worth a thousand words/thousand laughs http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/176434-great-weekend-with-a-new-pb/

sounds like more fun than sitting out on the sandy beach roasting in the sun!

i don't know where to get the o rings, nor what size. but the heat shrink tube method is what i prefer, really helps prolong the life of the bait and it keeps the hook perpendicular to the worm and helps with the hook up ratios. you can find the heat shrink tube at lowe's or home depot, 3/8" size for senkos and 1/4" size for trick worms. this article here explains it very well. http://www.bigindianabass.com/big_indiana_bass/a-better-wacky-rigging-method.html

if you don't throw much stuff between 3/4-1oz i'd get the Medium. or if you have a BC rod that can handle those higher weights, then get the Medium.

i like the split grips as long as my hands can stay on the grip. what i really care more about is the handle length, i like them shorter to fish out of the kayak a little easier.

you're right there! watching that bobber go under is too much fun sometimes!

jig and senko, close to cover, but not right up in it and right around the 6-8 ft of water range.

seems i'm opposite of most. early and late, i'll throw something else like a buzzbait or walker or popper. after that dies off, i'll throw the frog. the frog will still be catching them at high noon even when some of my other topwaters don't seem to be producing.

Some Siebert jig heads for his Father's Day sale he's running. Then a re-arming kit for the Onyx PFD after my "swan dive" ordeal on Saturday...

got my 30+ heads in last night, looking good as usual!!

well it's about dam time man! just kidding.... glad you got to get out there with your grandpa and have a good time, that's what it's all about!

i went to a "not-so-traditional" indian wedding a couple of months ago in Philadelphia. It was 2 days and i can honestly say, one of the best times i've ever had. it was interesting to say the least, but the groom's family went wayyyyyy out of their way to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves.

nice fish and sounds like a nice trip out with the young one!

that's a stud in that first pic (obviously referring to the fish, not you.....)

nice fish and nice pics!

my brother in law is getting married this Saturday in Athens, GA! the upside is that we're going to play golf at the UGA course so i'm pretty stoked about that! when i got married, i was very blunt about it. if you don't want to come, i won't be at all disapppointed, just don't come out of any "obligation". also, for that reason, i only really invited people that i really liked and wanted there.

exactly what i was going to say. if the dock looks like it belongs to some fisherman, i'll spend a few extra minutes on it!

you're most welcome

but what color senko works best?

nice 1st place fish there!

i'm with bluebasser in that i don't really use them for regular senkos. However, if you were to use them, i don't know how well it would go with an o ring. i'd suggest getting some heat shrink tubing from lowe's or home depot and using that in place of the o ring. check this article out for how to: http://www.bigindianabass.com/big_indiana_bass/a-better-wacky-rigging-method.html

way to try something new man!!
