BASS fisherman

I got 36, wahoo!!! I couldn't get more than 27 for the longest time.

Nice cat westpalmdude. Looks like she has a mane.

Why kitty of course. ;D

Nope! I didn't go today, to much to do around the house. Maybe tomorrow, work is slow this week.

Pretty puss cat. Here's my kitty:

I have fished in some of the streams in Erie. Walnut, Elk, and I can't remember the rest, but most all of them.

No LBH you didn't miss any thread about it. For the boat, I think there is alot to do to get it ready for next season. Most if not all of these things are just the items needed to make it legal for the water, and for the club I fish with. I still need: 2 batteries and a charger 10lb fire extinguisher throwable liability insurance for boat at least 1 fish finder I want 2 though a spare tire for the trailer and alot of the things on LBH's list from his article about boating The boat has a couple soft spots in the main floor near the console that are BAD. For next year I plan on getting a piece of treated plywood and just placing it down over those holes, and then I'll fix it next year in the garage which is full of junk this year. Jim Blair and LBH, great advice! Around our rivers out this way brown Gitzits seem to work the best. I didn't go out today like I wanted due to lots of stuff that needed done. But I plan on just throwing a texas rigged worm for the day. I never had much luck with it anyway, just weightless worms. So I'll throw that all day next outing, and get some confidence with that rig as well, just hoping it and dragging it around all day. Lady Bass: here is a rough map of the lake that is NOT to scale, but it gives you an idea of what the lake looks like. I made the map a few months bach so the green cattails are dead, but the milfoil is still there. Sparse, but there. The blue spots are where I fished from.

Thanks Catt, Ill do that tomorrow when I go out.

No fish finder, I was shore fishing today. Boat isn't ready yet.

I have the Rapala game, but Id rather actually go and fish. Plus with that game, after the first tourney, I can't land any fish. Nice fish liquid soap. I used to fish for trout, but I was never any good at it. No good teachers, plus I didnt like it like I do bass fishing. Never walleye fished before.

The past 4-5 times that I've been fishing I didn't even get a bite. I try fishing ledges, shallow weeds, and deep weeds using everything! Crankbaits, rattletraps, hard jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, worms, jig & craws, jig & pigs (the pork ones too), drop shot, texas rig, carolina rig, big lures, little lures, you name it I've tried it. Fast, slooooooow, and in between. Shallow and deep, I even tried a couple topwater lures. I just can't get bit! And I varied my retrieves too. What are some suggestions to try for the next time out on the water? Im loosing all hope. :'( Supposedly bass hold deeper than usual around this time of year, and also in or near any weeds that are still available. Tried all over the place...nada. Please Help!!

Welcome to the forum! What part of Pa did you live in?

They work well because they are made to open split rings. I have a pain of the Rapala split ring pliers, and wouldn't even want to attempt adding or removing a split ring without them. I paid about $15 for mine, so $4.99 is a great price.

2 words- Gitzit tubes.

Look, you are 11 years old. You better get used to having girls say no because it will happen here and there while your growing up. Just a fact of life that will help make you a stronger man. If she is already a good frien though, she probably won't say no. Goodluck playboy!

The bass club Im in is redoing their website. I was asked to help come up with some cool ideas. I figure this site's members would be an excellent source of valuable "cool" stuff for the site. What are some cool ideas you can think of to help us out? The rough outline is below: A Main page(with official HPBB logo) has this content: Logo, Welcome sentence, BASS patch logo, visitor counter, Sponsor Links along the bottom?, E-mail contact button goes to President and Web master, Current Officers and contact info for each. Links to these pages: B Club Mission and History(paragraphs only) C Angler info(Links to Members info pages) Club Records - largest fish caught in competition, largest 5, 4 and 3 fish limit events, All time AOY Member info pages- like the old ones: Favorites, stats HPBB world ranking system(3 years totals, kinda like another site's) D Message Board Topics: Tackle and lure reviews, Directions to Lakes, Announcements from officers, For Sale, Tournament details E Current Tournament info 2007 Schedule - links to results sheets as they happen 2007 PABass and KBBC tournaments F Tournament info Archive Tournament schedules from past years - AOY, Points winner, Lunker for each season Lake specific info and stats G Links to other web sites H Conservation and Youth

Good story, but Im curious who the "very special someone" was?

O.K. everyone, quiet down and listen up! The winner who was only off by 1 ounce................................................. BucketmouthAngler13 The bass in the picture weighed in at 5 pounds and 3 ounces. Good guess BMA13! Who's Next?

I am on the list also. Never caught anything with those blade dancer lures. I don't like berkley or powerbait products at all. I just can't catch a cold with their products.

so should I just wet sand it, and buff it? And then add a layer of gelcoat or three?

Great advice Lane and Jaypea2005! I love reading posts like this one. Thank you

The closest guess is 8 ounces off. Come on gimmie some more guesses!

See, Im new to this boat stuff. I don't think it was paint, but Im not sure what exactly it was that bubbled. I tested the back of the boat next to the motor. It looks like fiberglass to me, but I honestly don't have a clue. I'll take some pics of the area tomorrow, and you can see for yourselves, and hopefully have an idea what it is.

http://www.staminainc.com/main.html There is a link to get you started. Look at one of the spinnerbaits you own, and figure out what all you need to make your own. I got their catalog and I think it will cost you around $60.00 to make 50 spinnerbaits. Maybe a little less. I can't remember. If you'd go to the store and buy 50 spinnerbaits you'd pay well over $100.00.
