favorite techniques for suspended bass
My favorite would have too be a super fluke.Although lately I have had some trouble catching very many good fish on them.On one of the private lakes that I have been fishing the fish have started suspending alot.Im looking for some good ideas to catching larger suspending fish.Im fishing in East Texas.

Who would you want to fish with???
Larry Nixon because I would like to learn the art of being a worm dragger.I fish a little too fast.Edwin Evers is my favorite fisherman because he will get back in the most cluttered areas to get to the fish.

whats your favorite seasonal lure?
I should have worded it differently.What I meant to ask is if you could only choose one lure for each season what would they be?

Fishing deformity?
I cant fish with rods that have a blank thru handle.They make my hand go numb and If I do use one my hand will stay numb for days.I've never had that checked out but probably should.

Things that have made you a better fisherman
My biggest thing would be that when I go fishing afterwards I always think of things I could of tried or done differently.Everytime I get in my truck I start thinking about things I could have done.I get too focused on what im doing at the time.And it doesnt always occur to me then.When I go back I remember those things and I do try them.This also gives me alot of motivation. I will be glad when the day comes that I think of these while im already there fishing.

fishing methodical or covering water
I grew up fishing farm ponds from the bank.I had to learn to fish slow and methodical because there wasnt much water to cover.Well now even years after fishing these big lakes in a boat I find myself fishing too slow.When I go a friend of mine takes his boat with him and covers twice as much water as me.Sometimes I outfish him and sometimes he outfishes me.I want to learn to cover more water but at the same time I wont to cover it carefully.

fishing by yourself or with a buddy
I like to go with my dad and my brother.When we go on a fishing trip they loosen up and tell me things that I would never know if I had just went to go visit them.I think everytime we go I learn more about them in one day than what I would have in six months.I never talk about things going on in my life and my wife hates that about me.I also like to go solo.

Big Bass
if you want to catch big bass in the heat of the day, you gotta run your bait right in front of them really slow. RW this is what someone posted before I made my post.So I dont see how you can call my post ridiculus.

Big Bass
I do not understand why some of you say that you cant catch big fish with fast moving baits.I know of several 10 pound plus bass that have been caught on buzzbaits and spinnerbaits.I live in Texas and the two lakes I like to fish are Lake Conroe and Lake Sam Rayburn.If you look up the lake records for both of these lakes the records were caught on spinnerbaits( a fast moving bait).

What comes around...goes around!
Great story!!!!!!!!!But my old man want let me do that for him yet.Hes 58 and still wants to do everything.And the sad thing on my behalf is that he still out fishes me alot.

protected coves or fishing in the wind
SenkoSam I agree with you the season does make a difference.Bass during January and February look for calm water to make their beds.I might of caught some of the ones that spawned a little later.

protected coves or fishing in the wind
I like fishing main lake points with both deep and shallow water close by.But I also like to go way back into protected coves and fish the laydowns or whatever structure is their.Me and the people I work with had a small tournament.The wind kicked up and the water got real rough.I was the captain of my boat(and there were four boats overall)and before thinking I headed staight for coves fished them for two hours and caught some fish.Then it hit me out of nowhere I should of been on the main lake fishing the windy points.So with two hours left I headed for the windy points and had about the same results as in the coves.At first I was kicking myself in the butt for not fishing the windy points but it did not give anymore results then the coves.Im not sure what the better decision was but I guess thats fishing.Me and the guy fishing with me won 2nd place.

Same bass twice
This is a little different but I caught a bass that had two different holes in his mouth.One was kind of yellowish and nasty looking almost like a scab that humans get.
-
Your Confort Zone?
I look for points that have both shallow and deep water I work them real carefully with spinnerbaits and soft plastics.
-
Do you ever do this???
I agree and disagree.Bass do need to see something different and I think presentation,technique,and action is where the difference should be made.Their are some colors that just work better like pumpinkseed,purple,black,and watermelonseed.These colors also work in a different lakes and colors of water from clear to muddy.

Mike Iaconelli
I"ve never met Mike but just watching him on tv and reading things he's wrote you can tell that hes a very intelligent fisherman.Any tournament I've ever seen him in he's always has one of the biggest fish of the tournament.I think if some people could just look past the screaming they would see that too.And maybe some of them are jealous because he does have so much fun.

where to buy painted spinnerbait blades
I am having trouble finding somewhere to buy painted blades.I used to buy them at bass pro shops but there too expensive.I would get four blades for $3.99 thats just too expensive for me to keep buying them.
-
What new technique are you going to try?
being more observant of exactly what the fish are doing.

Food On The Water?
peanut butter crackers sandwiches grapes are great on hot day water no alcohol in the boat
