Thanks Lonnie...I was flat wearing Goggle search out tryingto hunt this lil rascal down! Reg

Hey Lonnie, Been trying to look up the "lazer z shad tail spinner" you mentioned...I may be headed over to Guntersville soon myself. Can you post a pic or link to that lure...I'd appreciate it! Thanks, Reg

Yep, looks like a complete failure to me!! hahahahaha

Hey Guys, Been out of the saddle for a season or two. Boy, am I in Fishing Fever mode. I was reading some favorable reviews about this lure from Lucky Craft. Headed down to Wheeler Dam this week to toss something at the local stripes, spotted bass, maybe a suager or two! Who has used this lure or something in the series close to it? Any particular retrieve method? Thanks, Reg

That's impossible...there's fallen timber between me and the water...not just the bass! lol

Recently suffered another thrashing at the "fins" of my local bass at my favorite swampy lake. I was tossing Hula Popper & various configuration of plastic frogs...I got tons of swirls, boils, and bass striking from 1-2 ft behind the lures...even when I slowed em down to a snail's pace! This lake does absorb a tremendous amount of fishing pressure...it's located behind some ritzy condo's...and from dusk till dawn and even at night somebody & their kid brother is out there pounding the water for a dream wall-mount. 2-4 ft max depth with a bevy of downed timber, snags, lily pads, stumps, snakes, cranes, and murky alga filled water... What's some solutions to this dilemma? Last time here the wind, poor knots and a shortage of spinnerbaits caused me great sorrow! NOW IT HAS BECOME QUITE...PERSONAL!! HELP!!! Thanks, Reg

Ok...that's about what I thought. I met an idiot working in a Tackle Shop a few days ago trying to convince me to go back at them with 12 lb mono...says that he flips heavy cover with 12-14 lbs,,,,yeah, right!

What size line would you recommend?

Found a really hotspot back behind a local condo area. It's only about 3-4 feet deep at best, but it's loaded with some big bass, but also "Full of snags, fallen timber and logs galore. I lost 3 good spinner baits and a lot of patience last week over there! What lures would be best suited for this type of fishing? The bass are ultra aggressive & downright ornery! Thanks Reg

Hey Guys, Been a while since I've been on. Well I found a really nice Bass Pro Shop Extreme Rod & Reel Combo ETX 1000 LPHB set up on 6'6 Woo Davis Med action rod. Gave $35 for it at a Pawn shop. I took it by my local Tackle shop and this "Grizzly Adams" looking fellow starts right in badmouthing the reel, my line selection and my estimated learning curve (switching from 30 yrs of spinning reels). He croaked constantly that I need a Calcutta or Ambassador..."else I"ll just give up on bait-casting all together!"...obviously he's a Prophet as well! Is this a decent set-up to learn how to use a bait-caster or would the US Reels such as the Liberty be a better choice? Kinda looking for the path of least resistance, but I am a fairly quick study! Any thoughts/feedback? Thanks Reg

What color is your fav?

I might take the swimming lessons..;but I'll leave the water ballet for the fairy's!

Hey guys, I'm leaning real heavy toward buying a boat...an 18-21 ft John Boat w/40-50hp motor & trolling motor...the problem is; I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM! My wife is headed into "nuclear melt-down mode"...and can't stop squalling about me taking swimming lessons, wearing 3 life preservers , or fishing in 8 inches of water! lol I have been out on boats many times, I can safely operate them and I am not afraid of the water....and I ALWAYS wear a life jacket. I fish swallow water 1-6 ft 95% of the time...should I heed her warnings or is knowing how to swim a prerequisite to being a safe boat owner? I just can't stomach all my old bank fishing spots all grown up, locked up or having to drive ungodly miles just to be able to cast into decent water.... How many guy do you know that have & operate boats that can't swim? Thanks Reggie.....p.s....I think she just upped the insurance on me by a $100K...YIKES!!!!!!

Crushers?? I've heard they have them...but share with me about their crushers. A friend of mine say they use them to strip flesh off of their prey?

Wow...what kinda competition was it Bill?

West End Outdoors, Athens, AL Dave's custom Rods, Vermont, AL Buster's Bait & Tackle, Huntsville, AL

Hey Roadwarrior, I'm 35 minutes from Gray's Tackle Shop Sheffield, AL! Tell me about those guys...great selection and so forth?

Dotty's was fouled hooked...he admits it and did not enter it as record...classy guy for all the crap he endured behind it!

Hmm...I struggle more with plastic worms than anything...guess we all have our "fishing nemesis."

Excellent idea...btw...where can you buy feathered trebles?

Hmm...now that's whats up...an experienced fisherman "passing it on!" Hella va story...thanks for sharing!

Just ordered 2 batch's last night before I read this 4 inch & 7 inch...thanks though.

My 1st bass was caught on a purple Gill Raker....don't know what became of them. Would love to find a batch myself....

Kool...hope you win BIG TIME!
