Green Trout

I've learned that when the fish are up shallow, there is no better way to get bites than throwing a weedless weightless Texas rigged plastic. I don't know what it is, but fish just come and destroy that thing. They come in all sizes too. I think it is just such an easy meal for the bass and looks so real falling with no weight. I use a crawfish, pit boss and of course a fluke. Have you guys had the same success doing this I have?

I have heard that lighter line gives you more sensitivity. Is that really the case? I'm looking to spool my fluke baitcasting Rod with mono and want to know if lighter line is more sensitive.

I have the 2 outside brakes basically all the way on free spool so having those too tight can't be the issue. Also the 20 Lb line is not the problem either because the line does not dig in at all. I am fishing 3/8 oz baits with Medium Heavy rods which is very reasonable. I had no idea there was a brake inside.

I have had a bad experience with this reel. The drag is great, it's smooth but the problem is I can't cast it far. I have the settings correct, I know what I'm doing as I have owned numerous baitcasters before, and I also have a correct amount of line on it. I am using suffix 832 20lb. Any ideas as to what could be happening? Anyone have this same problem?

Anyone ever try this bait? I want good and bad reviews because I am thinking of getting some but do not want to waste my money.

Are these weedless? Planning on fishing them around a lot of wood.

Can you participate in the sale online?

When does the Bass Pro Shop Spring Sale begin? I'm looking to load up on tackle like hooks, PopR baits and flukes.

I love fishing a zoom super Fluke JR. texas rigged weightless. They just catch a lot of fish and you get a lot of bites.

What have you guys found catches the most fish?

You need a good pair of line clippers. They need to be able to cut line with 1 snip. This is so important and I think a lot of anglers forget about it. I like the Boomerang tool. I hang it off of my tackle box or around my neck. This tool is small, compact and does not get in the way. I love mine and best of all they are not very expensive.

Wow I've never met a person like that. Interesting.

Which topwater do you think I should use? I fish around a ton of wood. I fish in water that is about 1-2ft of visibility. My water has lots of small bass. What I mean by that is most of them are 3/4lb to a 1lb.

Anyone hear of any Bass being caught in the Tchefuncte River this year?

Even when it's sunny?

As the days are getting longer and the temperature starts rising, more and more people are going to get the "bass topwater fever". On my River system that I live on, that usually occurs around May. My question is, what color buzzbait is your favorite? I'm talking about an all around good color that catches fish. I know to use Cavitron Buzzbaits but not sure on the color. Thanks a bunch a good fishin!

Does anyone have trouble feeling bites with Flurocarbon? How sensitive is it in comparison to braid? I plan on using it for jigs and T Rigs in about 10 foot of water.

I'm gonna use flurocarbon for jigs and T rigs. What are some differences I should be aware of between that and braid? I'm used to the braid but wanna try fluro

I meant 5-8 in the Spring- Fall

Make sure to have all your rods rigged with fresh, new line, and all your baits tied on ready to go

Clear water go with a white ice. Stained go with a dark color or hot pink. Rig them on a 5/0 EWG and you will destroy the fish. Throw around heavy cover. Also, use a medium heavy Rod for more power. Does this help? Hope it does!

I've been throwing jigs, t rigs and slow rolling chatterbaits. The average temp yesterday was 50 and even found a 6 foot flat off the main river in a pocket holding 59 degree water. They just were not there.

I can't seem to catch the numbers of fish in the winter. I'm went out yesterday and really struggled. My place doesn't have insane numbers of bass, but on a good day, I can catch 5-8. So do you guys think it will get better in the spring? My water temp is 49 degrees which is about the coldest it ever gets. By the way, I'm on a river system.

Be quiet I don't need that and I dont take being made fun of
