  1. when and why would you choose a shakey head over a t-riged worm? or vice versa?
  2. they do not have bass tournaments in NJ during closed season. what i mean by this is they are not allowed to put the bass caught in a livewell. they are called paper tourneys and they only record measurements and then tally up at the end for fun. nobody puts bass in livewells now
  3. nice job. you make 22" look so darn easy
  4. what are some tips for skipping a lure under a dock or branch with a baitcaster. every time i try it get a birdsnest real bad... i cast the baitcaster god otherwise also
  5. honestly up untill this weekend my biggest was 3lbs for the year. ive been out on the water saturday and sunday all day for the last like 5 weeks at least and didn't start putting fish in the boat consistently till the last 2 weeks which i probably got about 40 bass in the boat before that it was like 1 or 2 a day if i was lucky

  9. the 4.2 came from Carnegie and the other ones came from this small place up north... tranquility was a pain in the ***. i didnt like the lake to much to be honest. seems like alot of small fish in there and way to many weeds that place is choked already. like 3 people who i guess felt they were almighty police of the lake complained to us about having an outboard on myboat even tho it was never put in the water and were bugging us about who told us we could be out here. im never goining back not worth the hassle

Thanks Ryan
  17. expensive bait!!!
  18. i just started using jigs myself, i have a MH rod and 50lb power pro. 4 hits 3 fish. the one i lost was the first time i ever got a hit on a jig so i was surprised and i also didnt trim the weedguard but the next three were hooked perfectly. i think the braid helps with the perfect hooksets i seem to be getting and i trim my weedguards down also. i lay into em like theres no tomorrow

    i just recently start using trailers and so far all my bass have been on the main hook with a solid hookset. only a couple small pickeral have actually come on the trailer. ill keep using it though just incase and i also agree with the heavy cover not to use them i get hung up alot with them on there
  20. i have this lock thing that goes into where the ball goes and the lock that goes through the handle to lock in the ball also.
  21. do the peacocks get big in florida like they do on those tv shows in like Venezuela
  22. well never thought about it before but one lake i fish has alot of shallow flats with pads and the carp and bass are scattered all throughout it. alot of times ill cast and see like 4 huge swirls of them carp taking off and then ill lay into a bass.
