Cheap vs expensive lures
Same here. I caught more on a Bandit than any other crankbait made. It is also the cheapest,

Scent additives.... Waste of money or worth it??
I believe there is something to using scents. Like others, I use MegaStrike and Pro Cure. I have seen plenty times when I added a scent I caught fish, maybe it was the scent or not. Anyway, I going to keep on using it because I think it does make a difference.

Is Bass Fishing a Seasonal Sport?
We really can fish year round in Mississippi. Most of the time January is the only month I don't fish, our coldest month.

Never get to crankbaits...
I really could get by with 2 lures, a Ned bait and a crank bait.

Anyone ever 'tune' their Trolling Motor?
I had done this years ago but forgot about it. Went out and tuned it, it was off some.

How often do you change your braided line and why?
I use yellow braid on my spinning rigs. I change them every 2 years only because the yellow fades some. After a year I just take the braid off and reverse it so I will have fresh looking braid.

I hate alligators
My fishing hole, Ross Barnett Reservoir has plenty of gators. I made a deal with them, I won't bother them if they don't bother me.

100% Skunked this morning
Don't feel bad, there are a lot of us in that same boat. To me this is a hard time of year to really catch them.

You ever eat a LMB that you catch?
I think crappie is the best tasting fish but bass is number 2. I don't keep many in the last few years, guess I got lazy cleaning them.

Waking up super early is easily the worst part of fishing for me.
Been getting up at least by 5am for almost 50 years. When I am at the ramp, I either fishing close by or waiting for good running light. I am only 7 minutes from my local reservoir ramp.

I keep all my tackle in my boat. I have had some stick together but pulled them apart and they was fine. It gets pretty hot in Mississippi!!!
