I picked other a Strike King Wild Shiner is my best producer

I am probably not the person to ask about this but from books and stuff I have read, that resume sounds good but you should probably tell a little more about how you can move their product.

or you could just use a 2 way swivel.

One of the best bass cover around MILFOIL.

By far the best way to fish them is either wacky rigged or t-rigged without a weight. But I have had people tell me that they are good on shaky heads.

BASSMASTER

Well my dad and I headed out to Lake Graham at 5:00AM this morning We didn't expect to see any one else from our club there but there were actually 2 other club boats there. We started fishing and caught 4 keepers ranging from 12 - 15 inches on Senkos and ribbontail worms. My Grandad and his fishing buddy have made friends with this raccoon out on the bank the lake. Well me and my dad had never seen it till today while we were fishin in this cove. All you gotta do is when you see him say "Rocky" "Rocky" and he'll come out onto this log and you throw him some food and he comes and gets it. We fed him like a half dozen mini donuts and he was so cool. Okay so back to the tournament, we caught the first four keepers in a bout a foot of water while they were chasing minnows and baby bream. Once it started getting hot we moved out to about 10 feet of water and started fishing points with Shaky Heads and crankbaits. We ended up getting two more small keepers. Since it was fish anywhere we just called in the lengths of our fish to the tournament director. After we call them in he uses a chart of lengths to add up the full weight, so I don't know how I did yet. Here are some pictures of the coon.

Thanks for all the tips guys I neede to know because tommorow I'm fishin in a Jr. Club tournament that is fish anywhere and me and my dad are fishing Lake Graham. When it was built in the late 70s all the state did was cut out boat lanes and flood a forest. Now just about all the trees have broke off about a 1 1/2ft above the water. The fish are really chasing minnows right now so I figured a chrome/blue trap would be a great bait.

What can I do to reduce hangups in standing timber with a rattletrap?

Right On!

That Africa thing is really suprising!

Oh yeah welcome to the forums.

If it's backlashing tighten the brake if it just won't cast real far then loosen it.

I fish them on a shakey head and t-rig.

Man your missing out. A rattletrap is an awesome springtime bait.

Do you guys think it's bad to fish a slot limit lake with the the slot being 14-18 inches and every once in awhile keeping a couple under the slot to eat.
