I like the rattle trap brand in the gold/black back/orange belly (thanks Catt) and a red/gold 1/2 ounce. I also use the Chrome and blue /orange belly.

I want to upgrade to the navionic platnum card for my Lowrance sytem. does anyone know if I have to have the radar system on it for it to do the overlay mapping or will it work with out radar? Thanks

Thanks TWellsjr I have never heard of waterloo rods but may check them out. Dam yankee I have all kinds of rods but I realy want to focus on jig fishing and punching this year so I want a light weight and sensitive rod that will give me the extra edge I need in tournament fishing. Especially since I will be competing against some of the guys on here.

Thanks Bear. Maybe we could go fishing soon and you can show me how well it puts bass in the boat Bass_Fanatic. I like a field trial better than seeing it on dry ground. anyway thanks for the number and all of the help.

Thanks. what is that web site again?

Heck I decided to buy four of them and keep two and give two for christmas.

TxGator the tournament is in Febuary and i don't know how many teams will be allowed but Catt is heading this up. I think the more teams we have the better the fellowship.IMO

Bass-Fanatic where can i find these powell rods

Thanks for all of the help guys. I realy like theway the Boyd Duckett rod feels and I am sure that is what I will go with and Bearonthewater thanks for the info about which one to get. i like a long rod too for flipping will the Heavy be enough for the grass or should I go with an extra heavy for the big girls on the bend? Thanks for the info on the Crucial rod I have never had one but may look into that one as well. Thats what I like about this site it is full of guys who know what works and will give you true info without all of the salesman hype you get from the store. Thanks

Wow tbat is great weather. Should be great fishing!

I am wanting a new jig rod and I like the duckett white Ice. Is this a good rod choice or is there a better one out there that I should look at? I am only wanting to spend a couple bills on one. Any suggestions?

i will know soon. Thanks again for the info on the rods. I love to crank and feb. is a good month to do it. Should be interesting tourney.

Thanks for the info toledomard928 I bought two. Hope they are good rods. I never had one before but at that price it is worth trying them out.

I have a boat ready to go. Forget cleco fished four hours with two small hits could not find bait fish. Looked all over the lake and did not even find a school of shad. Water was 65 degrees but nothing in the water. Water is so nasty that It left a stain on boat and trailer. I will not waste my time going back!

Dam yankee you are more than just lucky you can catch fish from what I've seen. Have you ever fished Cleco lake? I'm headed over there today to try the warm water. I hear they should be in pre spawn.

Sounds like it would be a lot of fun. I would love to put a face with all of the names.

I'm in.

I did not catch many bass last week a few small ones on watermellon red fluke and PB&J jigs. I did see a few people casting C rigs and T rigs. I went up to the coop Friday morning and caught 6 Crappie and one catfish. a few boats out and trying but bite was real slow. Water temp ranged between 55 and 58 degrees through out the day. I did see large schools of shad and sevel schools of fish but just could not get a bite going. several people fishing spoons and jigs for bass off the bluffs but did not see anyone catch any. I tried a spoon for a while until I lost it in the stumps (another $10.00 gone) and the boats that were fishing seemed to mostly be drifting. The guy at Pendelton Harbor Marina said it should get better in about two weeks, I hope so. If anyone gies up keep us posted on how they are doing and I will do the same.

Great news Fanatic hope it continues and congratulations Catt. I hope you spoil it well. Went to Buck and Indian creek today I really like the area, any tips on how to fish it this time of year will be appreciated. Hit lots of points with crank baits and jigs and caught nothing. I will be back Friday and Sat. God willing. Is anyone catching anything now? I hear the fish are still in the grass off ridges. Give me a shout this weekend Dam Yankee.Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving. God bless and thanks for all of the help guys.

Hey bass_ fanatic how is the hunting going?

Black blue jig with yum hawg and a pb&j jig with watermelon red yum craw only caught 4 fish, largest was 3.67 lbs but had a giant get off at the boat. 15fow grass with timber very slow. Had several bites but they are on the jig. This was last Thursday, I plan on going Friday. Will let you know how I do. I did try crank bait and spinnerbaits nothing hit.

Thanks.

Anyone fishing big sam? Been thinking about going fish her but no idea where to start or what to throw. Anyone catching on crank bait or are they still on texas rig worms? Gonna get a hook n line map and get started researching. Shaneus is it like TB fish the grass? Thanks

Thanks guys
