In my situation, I wouldn't spend more than $10 on a lure. A small allowance and some leftover birthday money doesn't get you a lot today if you pay much more than that. However, I'm not a big crankbait guy so I haven't had any reason to switch from my $5-6 SKs or bombers. Also in the waters I fish I'm bound to hang an expensive swimbait in a tree. You get what you pay for, but I can get by just fine by spending under $10 a lure

Yesterday was fun. The water rose up to 62 to 66 degrees. We caught them early on points and shallow areas filled with cover. The bass were on beds shallow. We used tubes, topwater, drop shots, and swim jigs to catch them. Unfortunately none were keepers. We had a lot of fun either way. Thanks again. Jaiden

Thanks for all the good luck wishes! I'll let you guys know how we did tomorrow.

Thanks for the pointers! Between me and my brother we've had too much baseball to get more time on the water. I'll look for those "Y"s.

Hello, fellow anglers. This upcoming weekend my step-dad and I are fishing in our first tournament! It will be on Beaver Lake. The lake is deep and clear. I'm excited, but I need some help. We went fishing yesterday to scope out the lake and do some fishing. We fished around points in the back of coves. The water temp was 56 degrees. We marked a couple of schools of baitfish suspended about 10ft deep in 30 FOW. We marked a couple of bass in 20 FOW. The only problem is we couldn't catch one. My questions for you guys are: 1) Where are the fish this time of year? 2) How would you catch them? I was thinking maybe an A-rig or a suspending jerkbait. Any advice or information is appreciated. Tight lines.

1. I love the outdoors 2. I love the challenge 3. I'm hooked on it!

I like to fish them at a local pond. I have owned 3 with no issues so far.

Bright colors (Limetruse) and twitching it on a 3/0 hook just below the surface. It's so much fun to watch bass come out of cover to hammer them.

I've had one for 2 years with no problems. I guess I got lucky.

I have had success with brush hogs, power worms, and lizards.

Netbait paca craws. They're my favorite jig trailer.

Got to go to BPS today. I got: Shimano Compre Crankbait 7' MH Jewel football jigs Booyah Boo jig And then my step dad got a sick combo with a Abu Garcia Veritas 7' MH and a Revo S and also a couple jigs. We got some stuff for the boat too.

Do you mean that the knot is off center of the eye of the hook? If so, this happens to me and has not affected my hook-up ratio.

My little brother's hooked me before, nothing past the barb though.

I've always used Berkley Powerworms, Zoom lizards, brush hawgs, and Rage hawgs. Colors are watermelon, junebug, and green pumpkin.

I use Zoom also. Green pumpkin on a Carolina rig durring the spawn has always produced for me.

Deep cranks and jigs.

Did pretty good today. My family picked up our new Tracker 175 TXW

I moved across the country last July, but haven't been able to fish since. My goal is to catch some fish on new waters and hopefully a PB too.

I have a little brother that's nine and loves spinnerbaits and senkos.

Suspending a jerkbait, crawling a jig, and drop shots. all of these are very slow like the bass.
