Black Bass

I've used Pledge (because it's handy) to wipe my rods down for years. Is there something better to use?

Don't want to get into a controversy of which boat to buy, but what do you think of a 2004 Mercury 115 ELPTO 2 stroke? It's on a 17.5' bass boat. I had the present owner remove the engine cover and it doesn't look like it has ever been started. Everything is pristine as the boat has been garage kept and it is one owner.

Congratulations! With your attitude, 90 should be a snap. If you have a motorhome, check out the FMCA Cruisin' Cajuns chapter. We meet in Rayne, LA a few times a year. Great Crawfish rallies. FREE beer wagon, live bands Friday and Saturday nights. Coon-***** know how to party and have fun.

I have the 787 c2i with the QuadraBeam transducer. I still have a lot to learn about it, but so far I'm very happy I spent the money. I installed it myself without much problem. However, read the instructions more than once. You know, "measure twice, cut once."

When will they be in Cabela's or BPS?

Thanks for the info Catt. It now also resides on my harddrive.

Have any of you seen these videos? Do you know how current they are? Bill has been around a long time. Are they worth the money?

Where do you find the Scott Martin Challange video. Google brings up a golfer by that name with a golf challange. I happened to watch the fishing Scott Martin Challange this morning.

Welcome. Our prayers are with your son.

When I use the www.classicpatterns.com link. I get the following message "No web site is configured at this address." Is this a valid address?

Welcome aboard! It's a great place to be.

I'd also like a copy. Maybe it would be easier if you posted it here and we could all copy it. Thanks,

I'm in my third week of recovery after triple bypass surgery, and I'm going crazy. As long as I sit still I feel like I should be able to do whatever I want. But when I make the smallest exertion I realize I can't do anything but read, watch fishing videos and sleep. So, I'd like recommendations for fishing videos to buy. Here's a list of those I already have: Woo Daves Wormin' with Woo Woo's Clues Structure School - Finding Hidden Hot Spots Kevin Van Dam Pitchin' to Heavy Hitters Strategies for Changing Conditions Advanced Spinner Bait Tactics Mike Bonadonna Bait Casting 101 Bait Casting 102 Jason Turley Flippin' School For Big Bass Stacey King Jirk Bait Fishing The Carolina Rig Tommy Martin Deep Grass Jigging Larry Nixon Locating Spring Season Bass Bill Dance (Booyah Bait Co.) Spinnerbaits from A to Z Mike Iaconelli Tactics for Tough Conditions The Bass Pros Season One - 2007 Wayne King/Dan Warme - I was not impressed with the quality of these videos. How the Pros use SONAR How the Pros use GPS

Randall, thanks for Jud's number. Do you know if it was ever out in DVD format? I'll try calling him tomorrow.

I have Tommy Martin's video. It is good. I'm going to start another thread with a list of my videos for recommendations from the list for others to buy. :-X I'm in my third week of recovery from tripple bypass surgery and I'm going nuts, but I tire so easily I can't do much except read and watch videos. I should have a lot of bass video knowledge by the time I can get back out on the water. I'll see if it helps. <G>

Thanks Catt. I wonder if there ever has been a DVD. The VHS will do as I can convert it.

I've searched the net for this Denny Brauer video and found it on Tim Tucker's website but the phone number is disconnected. I guess since he was killed last year the site is not active. Do you know anywhere else I might find it NEW?

Nice job! Nice price!

Like Alpster, I have enough hooks that I don't sharpen. RW, as usual, has it right. Don't scrimp on hooks

For frogs, is there an advantage/disadvantage between the TL-74T-5FB and the TL-76T-5FB. The rods are rated the same except for the 2" in length.

What do you think of the Team Daiwa® Light and Tough Bass Rod TL-74T-5FB for fishing Frogs? Is there a better rod for $130?

Which braid do you use for flippin & pitchin? Do you use the 50 lb?

Ditto!

I bought the Fishing Buddy II in 1999 and used on a float tube for years. I liked it. I'm sure they have improved in the last nine years.
