HoosierHawgs

Can't be worse than wearing 100% DEET carcinogen all over your body.

If I we're going to use them... I'd probably buy the smaller size for a drop shot... And drown them in PowerBairt scent... But i don't find I reason to use/buy them... So I dont

If you're looking for something really stylish... Not too expensive, and polorazide a pair of Knockaround's w/amber lenses will run you like $25. I got them in My Chubbies Mancrate of Immeasurable Partytude and they are awesome but I only where them when at the ball park, ectm

The storm pre rigged baits pretty good they are pretty versatile. They have curly tail swimbait spinnerbaits I like too

I'm looking at buying a quality pair of braid scissors. Seems that the Saltwater Splizzors by Buck Knives are really nice, and have lots of other functions, I'm sure there good quality and would last forever as well... But is it worth 169 bones... I mean, that seems like a lot... Insights?

These days its Keith Urban's "Raise 'Em Up". Can't get it out of my head

What are your guys go to when fishing for Wall Hangers? I'm usually a numbers guy, but wanted to know what you guys fish with when hunting for some Hawgs?

If it freezes over a good way to prevent fish kills is to shovel excess snow off the ice... Only do this if it is safe though

The wine cork makes it like holding a screwdriver. Makes it easier to pick through all of the crap of a bride nest from hell.

Before we start, let's get something out of the way... Spinnerbaits are not Chatterbaits, and Chatterbaits are not Spinnerbaits. Good, now we can start Spinnerbait 101 There is all kinds of spinnerbaits. I use the following White Double Willow Blade (Clear Water) White and Chartreuse Turtle Blade (Stained Water) White and Chartreuse Willow Colorado Combo (All Around) Black Turtle Blade (Stained or Murky Water) Black and Chartreuse Turtle Blade (Murky Water and Nighttime) I fish these because the main forage where I fish is SHAD. Change Colors based on the main forage of where you fish. The clearer the water, the more flash you want, the dirtier the water, the more vibration you want. There are also different retrieves Straight Retrieve (Covering Water) Slow Roll (In Dirtier Water or Lethargic Fish) Add Your Own Action, Give the Bait a Snap or Pause Next To Cover, or With a Following Fish Bump Bait Into Any and Every Piece of Cover There Is, Spinnerbaits Come Through Rocks and Wood Like A Charm Conditions When there is wind, and bass are tight to cover, I throw them parallel to the bank When it is blue bird conditions with no wind I will throw a Double Willow Bait with Painted Blades, and sometimes I will not throw it at all. You have to change based on conditions, but I almost always have a spinnerbait tied on, unless I am fishing heavy grass... At which point a swim jig is a great tool, as is a Chatterbait. I will fish trailers (usually small Swimbaits) on Chatterbaits, but not on Spinnerbaits. If I feel that the fish are keying in on larger shad, I may add a Yum Boogie Tail to the Spinnerbait. I never fish a trailer hook, as I feel that I would get snagged more on cover and I don't feel that I need a tremendous increase in hookups.

Ok thanks for the price I will try it out for 8 bones in not to worried.

I have a cheap pair of Berkley's with Cables on the back I like pretty good. I'd say buy Costa's they are definitely the best on the market but you don't want to spend that much... Heard a few things about Wiley X's but not idea the cost of them

Kinda a forum hack... I know we talked Co-Poly earlier... But what are opinions on P-Line CX? Would it make a good replacement for Fluorocarbon either straight spooled or as a leader?

Will see. Bought a bunch of squarebills back when Cabela's was clearing them outm

Have a private hatchery stock it. Will cost $$ but its worth the money to do it right. Have them stock 500 bluegill, 100 bass, and 100 channel catfish fry per acre. According to DNR this is the ratio with the best success for both sport fishing and keeping a few fish for the table.

You can make a pic out of a wine cork and a straightened baitholder hook with the barb filed down. Or you can buy them at BPS for a few bones. My dad has one and loves itm

Never have owned one, but have been researching on digging my own when I'm older. I would ask the landowner if he'd let you fish, and see if you catch anything. If not, you can have it drained (obviously this would kill anything in it) and then stock it with fry of different species (bass, bluegill, and channel cats aee a great stocking mix). It would take a few years to see results, but it would be worth the wait IMO.

Wow... Figured it was more like 18-20

Throw a crankbait in their and get em fired up. Then pick through the lethargic ones with a jig.. I'm surprised you are seeing schooling fish so shallow

What's the base cost on that? Just curious.

Quality scissors if you fish with braid. A liar of needle nose pliers, a baitcasting line pic, a hook remover.... Off the top of my head.

I also know that Strike King makes Silent Red Eye Shads

Fish will hit lures tied to straight braid on top (like frogs) but I would never use braid for other topwaters. I use mono and a medium weight rod so I don't rip out light wire trebles.
