Bass XL

yes, i fish the missouri junior bassmasters. Email an adult club near your area, ask them if they have a junior bassmaster chapter. Junior bassmasters go up to 18. To fish most of the adult clubs, you have to be 16. If you dont have a boat, no problem. Non-boaters are scarce, and tournaments need non-boater partners now days.

thanks catt

ok. I am fishing a night tournament coming up. I know the basic's of night fishing, but need a little help on the places i should target. My main question is that this lake is ultra clear...i mean crystal.....will this effect my lure choices? i planed on fishing dark lures. Thanks

Hey guys! I am looking into purchasing a new rod....I need your help. I am stuck between the airrus puls-r or the kistler magnesium. What are some good/bad things about them. I was also looking at the airrus ultra xl (i think thats what its called) but i dont think I would like the removible butt section. What do you all think?

I have really enjoyed using the jig lately....mainly because I got the skill down. I noticed that the jig hit can be just like a worm hit, but dif. Most of my jig fish suck it in, and swimm left or right. Or they just suck it in and start shaking like crazy. But I also do feel that famous "tap tap" like a worm bite.

perfectly said sky chimp

my favorite color is rainforest yellow

thanks guys! Yeah nothing spectaculair, but it was a fun day. especially because I cought all my fish on topwater. I rather catch one fish on top water, then a ton of fish on anything else. Its just the way I am. And if anyone is wondering about the caution tape in the backround, it was from the night before...they shot off fire works...so no harm done

Ok guys. My cousin and I went camping this weekend and there was a small pond nearby. So we fished it all weekend. The pond had hydrilla allllllll over the bottom. Well it was hot all day. My cousin was using a banjo minnow, and tore them up, but this one came on a prop-bait: About the average fish (caught a ton this size) But I cought the biggest, on a XPS popper. I dont know how long it was, or how heavy it was, but it just crushed that popper. here you go: here's another: thanks for looking, Craig ps: sorry about my eyes, i was tired, because it was 6 in the morning

ok, i was gonna make a new thread, but i figured that i might as well put it here. My Revo S got wet over memorial day. Ever since then, it has been real rough (not as smooth as it was) well, i went to grease it up, and I cant get the side with the handle off. Any who, I lost my recipt. Do you think Abu will be a little flexible with me?

I highly reccomend taking it off. unless you want a broken rod. In MY expierances, it does feel good. But when i casted my lure one time, all of a sudden BAM! the whole "screw-in compartment" broke off, with the cork....this not only happend once, but twice! now I know you might just by pass this comment, but I would try your rod for a couple of fishing trips with out the balancing kit and just see how it feels/if you can get used to it. If not, then i guess use it.

1) I use that knot. 2)Tell you the truth...I do not use a trailor hook..or even a trailor for that matter. 3)My favorite spinnerbait has 2 colorado blades (one small, one big...forgot the sizes) with a lot of chart. and white, and a few strands of yellow.

i tried it before...it seemed that once they felt the bobber , they spit out the senko.

i'll second that slipping comment

they do have great action...but i have not caught a single fish on it.

My favorite is alabama craw

Just about the same, except I put a 1/8 oz. slide weight.

Thanks for all of the replies guys! They've been very helpfull.

Sounds like a good day. I usually have really good luck with black power worms in the rain.

reel it really slow, or hop it off the bottom

Ok. I am wondering 2 things. 1) What is your fav. jig/color for staind/muddy water? 2)What is your fav. jig/color for clear water? Thanks a lot.

mine would be hot dogs...but cast gently, or else the hotdog might fall off. just set it on the bottom and wa la.

thanks dan.

Ok, so i found out that the lake i fish DOES have crawfish in it...but they are all a redish color. Would it be effective to use a black/blue, black, brown, etc jig? Thanks

definatly a sweet beaver
