Mattlures bluegill
My mattlures blue gill swims on a slant when i retrive it...how can i fix this? and also, i know that this is a big bass lure, but where/how can i use this to increase my chances of gettin a nice fish. so far i been using it off of points, throwin into the deep water and bringing it back slowly, prbably at a 2-4feet off the surface level.

My mattlures swimbait came in!!!!
Aight so i been waitin for like a week.....and its finnaly here. A 5inch mattlures male blue gill. this thing is nice...REALLY NICE. its so detailed and its everything i thought it would be. so tommorow is the maiden voyage, and i was wondering what type of spots should i foucus on...is there anywhere in particular that swimbaits should be used? i fish in a reservoir...and its not known for huge bass..i know some ppl who have caught 7-8lbers and very few of em...but theres not much bigger. :

Matt Lures Bluegill
Im so excited....I ordered a mattlures bluegill on 5/2. it should get here anytime now. i was reading around and it seems like there are mixed feelings on adding a treble hook. i fish on a reservoir that has some bass in the 8-10lb range (very few tho) but anything in the 4-7lb range here is considered a "good catch" and is somewhat uncommon. should i add a treble hook and if so what type/size? :)

What are you guys using for LARGE catfish!
Yea cut up shad does work well..and not just for cat fish. this is really weird but i caught my PB (6lbs even) on cut up gizzard shad. the day before i caught it i had seen huhe pods of gizzrd shad so i decided to use a crank bait to fould hook them and i caught about 6-7 5inch ers. the next morning i cut em up and put on my cat fish rig and within 10 minutes i had something on which i thought was a nice cat but it turned out to be a 6lb bass which i could fit both my fists in..this thing was only 21 inches long but its head and eyeballs were ENORMOUS

Help me get out of this slump
its weird, cause these 2 fish were pulled out of this cove that i hardly ever fish at and the water cant be more then like 3-4feet. anways, i fish the senko like a superfluke. i let it get towards the bottom and then i give it 2 small jerks and then steadily reel it in. i just repeat this slowly and it seems to do just fine

Help me get out of this slump
nvmd, i got out of it myself. yesterday i went to dicks cause it was raining, and as i was skimming the senko section for some fat ikas....i noticed "swimming senko" in green pumpkin which is my #1 color. so i grab a bag and go home anxiously waitin until i can fish. so today after skool i get home and its still drizzling, but i said to my self crap it. so i walk down to my boat, push it out with a paddle and just sit there and fish for the remaining 30minutes of daylight..in the rain. i managed to pull 5 fish in the same spot within half an hour. the top 2 were 3.3lb and 2.5lb. for me this is really good..i will post pics soon. ohyea, and a funny thing that happened on the 3.3lber was that after fighting the fish for like 20 seconds, all the pulll in my line let off and i actually put the pole down for 2 seconds while screamin and cussin cause i thought id lost the fish. but it had actually just swam at the boat really quickly and i landed the fish shortly after. ;D

Help me get out of this slump
i live in central VA and for the past week or so the temps have dropped dramatically from around mid 70's to highs of 50. the water is now very cold, not sure how cold, but the spots where i usually catch fish are not coming thru for me the past 2 trips that ive taken. i usually catch them in 3-7ft of water using soft plastics like yum dingers, superflukes, and fat ikas. should i just fish these baits slower then normal or should i switch to sumthin else? :'(

Re: What have you caught on accident?
today i went to a new spot in my reservior where this man showed me to use a spinner bait at a medium retrieve...so i decided to switch to a spinner bait from a yum forked dinger, so i casted into the water not expecting to catch anything, i put my rod in the holder as i went to find the spinner bait and abut 5 seconds later i see my rod bedning like crazy. so i take the rod out and start fighting the fish which i thought was a MONSTER bass, but after 2 minutes or so it turned out to be a gigantic pike (for my standards) it was 24" long and 11.5" around which according to the weight calc. is 5.12lbs, so i guess my PB fish for now is a pike but hopefully i beat that # with a bass

battery question
well today i bought a marine/rv battery. when i hooked itup to the boat the boat ran SO slow in 5, but when i hooked it on the car battery i got, it was crusin. well, the marine batt. wasnt charge 100%, maybe 80-85% and it had a fish finder attached to it also, but shouldnt the motor still run good?
