CrankBaiting Through Cover
Using your rod to drag crankbaits through the tree rather than just reeling the lure across the cover will provide greater sensitivity.

Greatest Angler Debate travesty!!!
It was actually the public that voted on the rankings. You are not the only one that feels some anglers may be to high or to low. During the countdown show on ESPN 2 the commentators also don't care for the ratings (Skeet Reese).

Why R Bass LockJawed After A Cold Front
Some has to do with the PH of water. Rain which would actually be an acid would lower the PH of the water.

I need help with homework
For goverment class in school we are writing bills. I am looking at making a bill dealing with the stroke of an outboard. What I can tell 2 strokes cause more harm to the environment, are lighter, faster, require oil, and are cheaper. Then 4 strokes are heavier, don't take oil, a little slower, and cost more. I am also looking at something to do with requiring motors to be fuel injected mechanically, instead of by air flow to help prevent energy waste. Am I right so far? Are their any requirements where you live on the motor that can be used? Thanks for the help.

post spawn help
Their is a good article in the latest B.A.S.S. Times issue talking about spider grubs for post spawn. Rigging them on a football style head and dragging them through the deeper water.

Senko technique
I fish all my senkos texas rigged and weightless. Most my senkos are the 6" version and my favorite color is a pumpkin. I use a 4/0 extra wide gap hook. If I can recall correctly J. Bagwell mentioned in one of his articles "The less you do, the more the bait does". Cast the bait let it fall and sit on the bottom, raise your rod, let it sink, do that all the way back to the boat. Let the senko do what it does best, slow fall and wiggling tail to drive bass nuts.

Pros and their sponsors
First of all the pro's won't always use the sponsors baits, although they will usually say they did. One example was at a recent tournament, Kerry Kreup who has fished on the B.A.S.S. Pro tour was fishing at a tournament I was at. When I was talking to his non-boater for the day who I know said they were carolina rigging. Kerry took first place and told the audience they were flipping buckbrush with his sponsors tubes.

How do you dip your own tubes?
I take it you are talking about pouring your own tubes, you can buy the molds, plastics, salt at http://www.del-mart.com/. Or if you are trying to make a tube you have heavier you can melt old plastics in the microwave and dip the tube into the hot plastic, be sure not to let the skirt get in the hot plastic or it will melt togethor.

Same bass twice
I have done that, caught the same fish twice on the same lure 30 minutes after I caught him the first time. The weighed 2 pounds, but would of gone 2.5-3 pounds if he wasn't so skinny. He was reconizable by a crook in his tail and his thin body.

Senko type baits???
It is a whole lot softer and sometimes doesn't work good with the hook since it stretches so much by scooting up and down the hook.

Just an Observation
I use to be a huge spinnerbait fisherman fishing them all the time, and catching fish on them. Anymore it doesn't seem I have a different style or confidence bait that I always start out with, but I fish everything.

When things go right
Fishing as a non-boater I often outfish my boater. At a Lake of the Ozarks tournament the first day ever fishing the lake I was catching the fish on a spinnerbait. The boater who lived on the lake blanked only coming up with some small fish.

Anyone make your own lures?
I have made in-line spinners, some balsa crankbaits, balsa topwaters, and now I pour my own senkos. I actually caught a 3 pound bass on one of my topwater lure and the fish broke it. The topwater was a two piece zara spook and after the 3 pound fish the wire holding it togethor was bent out of shape.

bass brains
If you are using smaller baits, sometimes with the smaller tackle you will catch more dinks. Also for big fish it takes big fish tackle such as jigs, 10" worms, creature baits, and swimbaits are just some examples to help improve size. Sometimes you are also fishing the wrong depth for big fish. In early spawn the bucks will move shallow, while the larger females will usually stay out deeper.

Has this worked for you?
Thank you Glenn, your program has helped me land sponsors I would never of found. I am off to a great start this year, with Crown J Tackle as a new sponsor. Also thank you Joe Wiles and Crown J Tackle for taking me into consideration!

How do you get someone who hates fishing, like it?
Take them to a farm pond where they will have high chances of catching fish and have them throw a topwater bait. If they can get a couple bites with a topwater they will usually start to enjoy fishing.
