Decent time on Pleasant lake this past Saturday. Rage Tail spacemonkey on the biffle hardhead was the ticket.

Been doing some work with the Rage Lobster the past couple outings. And yes, the two fish I'm holding up are actually separate catches about an hour apart.

keel weighted owner or lake fork swim-bait hook. A touch of chartreuse JJ's on the tail never hurts. Bass pro now carries almost an identical SB to the Keitech's http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Speed-Shad/product/1311080716305/ I like the Keitech's and Lake fork boot tail shads depending on presentation style I'm going for. The impacts action on the fall is second to none IMO. whereas the lake forks have a very exaggerated back and forth rolling action to them which gives a good flash between the color on bottom and on top of the bait, it seems to work good parallel to weedlines

Any of you guys going to be at the Meredith rotary fishing derby this year?

I heard they closed the beach down because of high water levels..How are things looking out there?

I learned how to use a baitcaster with the blackmax combo from wal-mart. i beat the hell out of it and it still works. left it in the back of my truck accidentally through the winter and had to dig it out of the snow. broke the rod tip off by shutting it in my truck door, filed it down and used it for the rest of the season. basically its worth the money.

Did pretty good this weekend, caught 3 today in the 4-5 lb range.

Welcome! Plenty of NH folks in the northeast section. Be sure to check it out!

The Hooch today on a suspending Jerkbait Fished West Point from the shore last weekend when it was hot as hell out and only had this to show from it lol Then took Fluke's advice about Charlie Elliot, Spent most of the day at Stump this saturday, Caught about 7,1-2 lbers Man I've had to work for 'em with this crazy weather down here. The Chatahoochie fluctuates more than any river i think I've ever seen. Me and a friend will be giving West Point another shot this Sunday, we were able to rent a boat this time so I'm hoping for better results.

Good luck with that impromptu circumcision lol

ah, I get it now lol

I was on google earth checking things out, is the hooch that small access area a few minutes up the river from the recreational area with the boat launch? can i get my truck down to it or is it foot access only?

Thanks guys! I'm still on my way down, I feel like I've been on 81 going through VA for an eternity, I did manage to get out of a ticket because the VA statey that pulled me over was a fellow duck hunter and spotted my lanyard with calls! Lol some luck there. Ended up getting the full year non-res license, figure if I'm going to enjoy fishing in yalls state throwing in some extra coin to help the fish and game is money well spent. Man I'm hoping I don't end up stuck working on weekends I'll be frustrated if I can't Get out to some of these great spots you guys are suggesting.

I would buy it by the pallet if they named it that lol.

What would you guys use to provide lubrication to them? I've heard of guys using a small amount of vegetable oil. Never had plastics last long enough to dry out to give it a shot.

I fished it last sunday with zero luck, current is very fast, water temps vary between 45-48 depending on location, visibility 1 &1/2 to 2 feet max. I was on the bow side on the powerplant stretch, water is whippin out of the upper dam. Haven't been on any other sections so far.

I thought so the day after i scored a Lew's TPSS for $124. not bad considering I've been eyeballing them for a while and that's $76 below MSRP from TW

...You ask for info on "spinners" and the other members posted just about everything you need to know about every common spinner variation. then you say "yeah but I'm making actual bass spinners" What in your mind is an Actual bass spinner? your going to have to post a picture because what you are asking no longer makes sense. You could tie two bass together with rope and spin them above your head like some kind of aquatic ninja?

1- weightless Texas rigged worm 2- Rapala Floating jointed J-7, Silver & Black

If you spend enough time looking you can find good deals on ebay...I just got over 30 bags of rage tail product at $1 a bag.

x3 on 303, I use it on everything i want to protect from sun damage and it can help restore the appearance of faded plastic. It especially works good on the plastic parts of your vehicles interior like dashboard etc. However.. It is not water resistant. If you want something with similar properties that will also not wash of in the rain i Suggest trying Adam's super VRT. Here is a link to 303 at a much better price than $25 for one bottle. http://www.detailersdomain.com/303-Products_c_146.html And here is Adam's Super VRT. http://www.detailersdomain.com/Adams-Super-VRT_p_222.html Again these are technically "Dressings" to protect Vinyl, Rubber, Tires, Plastic from fading caused by UV rays. If you want something to do that and repel water go with Adam's If you simply want something to make interior pieces that don't get wet look brand new again get 303....or just get a gallon of VRT and bathe in it

Thanks everyone! Heavydluxe, thanks man, I bet your as anxiouse as I am for the water to warm up lol!

This is a bit overdue since i jumped right into the forums! My name is Norm, Just finally made it back to my home state after 4 years in the Marines. I've been fishing for most of my life but haven't got serious about it until the past few years. I'm on a lot of different forums for a wide variety of things like hunting, chevy's and mustangs. If i'm not lurking BR you'll find me on ModdedMustangs where myself and another member started talking about BR and i decided to jump on this forum as well. My experience here so far has been great, tons of great info and awesome members. I made a post in the Southeast section about needing a place to fish when i travel to Georgia and within hours a member had already sent me a message offering to take me out on his boat when i get down there which really shows the great community here on BR. I've got to give a shout-out to Glenn, the Layout of the site is awesome and i love the structure of the forums. anyone want to know anything else just holler! See you guys in the forums! -Norm

Everyone has their favorite brand, But you really can't go wrong with either Springfield Armory, Glock or S & W. Personally i carry a Springfield Xdm in .40 But if i had the cash i would get an Xds .45 whichever route you choose i highly suggest looking into getting a Crossbreed holster.

Scored a brand new Lew's tournament pro speed spool on Ebay for $124!!
