At the ponds I fish here in the St. Louis area most of my bites have come mid morning to mid afternoon. I consistantly catch 2 to 3 pounders. The weather has been great here and I have been fishing 3 to 4 times a week. I like soft plastics. Senkos are my favorite. Mac

Of course I do. I just think it should run at least in the low to mid 20's. Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions fellas. I in contact with the store I bought it from and he is thinking may a different prop. I think I might contact Mercury directly.

around 6000

We have a 22 foot Bass Tracker all aluminum pontoon. We traded in our 60 hp Mercury big foot for a 115 4 stroke Merk. Shouldn't it go faster than 18 or 20 mph? The prop is a 14/11 stainless steel. Any help or ideas would certainly be of help. Thanks

Fish is a lot of trial and error. Read, listen, observe, ask questions in detail, take notes and practice, practice, practice. Most of the time fishers are very agreeable to share info. If yopu see other people fishing, pick their brain. Best of luck to you.

Actually the fish are real. Glen is photoshopped!!!!

"Rules, we ain't got no stinking rules". I actually have just 2 rules. 1. I am always right!!! 2. When ih doubt, refer to rule #1. :)

Yes they are. I just learned to carry some pictures of some of my catches on my phone. Big ice breaker and a great topic to chat about.

I always close my bails by hand. never with the spinning reel handle. Read some where that this was a good thing?

Well I did it. I purchased 2 presidents 6930's. 59.99 each, $20 off and another $20 mail in rebate, plus free shipping from Dicks.

Ain't it the truth!!!!

I do very basic maintenance on my reels once a year.. How often do you clean yours?

Yes I know. They seemed to cast a mile and very smoothly as well. That's why I have been checking them out. I gonna get 2 spinning President reels. I can get for $49 each after rebate. Good deal Uh?

Yes sir. I just started using this type of set up. Works great. Thanks

I am thinking of getting a couple of these reels. Anyone have any experience with and are they any good? Thanks

Once my wife was backing the trailer down the ramp so I could drive the boat on. Well she got nervous because there were folks waiting. She had the trailer cockeyed left, then cockeyed right. Everyone was being very patient. After sheeing how fustrated she was getting, these 2 young men walked over to the back of it, picked it up and put it straight. It turned out to be a pleasent experience. I haven't really had too many rude folks at the ramp.

Grandpa and grandma were sitting on the porch. All of a sudden granny hauls off and knocks the crap out of gramps. After he recovers he asks why she did that. She says because you were a lousy lover all these years. A few minutes went by, then gramps knocks the crap outta her. After she recovers she asked him why he did that. Gramps says that's for knowing the difference!!!!

When you're not catching fish and you change lures do still fish in the same area or do you move on? If I'm fishing a pond I sometimes don't know whether to fish the area with different lures or just move on.

I'm not superstitious at all. Actually just the opposite. I believe in good old fashion luck and I feel as if I'm the luckiest man on earth.

Sounds to me like you're a carpenter? Never knew all these tools we good at catching fish!!!!! Godd analogy though.

I like em but like koofy smacker said, not very durable. I've been doing real well at the local pond with them

Try a shell cracker in green pumpkin rigged sideways. Looks just like a blue gill. A great bait.

Be sure to magic marker the line or the leader. I read somewhere that yellow is the color bass see the best.

1. Weightless wacky works for me. 2. Pegged with a very small split shot about 8 to 10 inches up does well also.

Here in Missouri I've been doing very well with shell crackers in green pumpkin rigged side ways and plastic worms rigged wacky or t-rigged.. Like everyone says keep trying and use different baits and technics. Good luck and don't forget pictures.
