I agree. Sure, it was wrong but it is just kids messin around. I doubt that it even effected the fish in the tank.

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic, but I'm quite sure he was kidding... ;D

My boat is also all plywood...I know some of those guys use honeycomb aluminum as well. It's honeycomb with an aluminum base. Featherweight if you ask me... Those guys definetly are runnin bigger motors than 9.9s too. I can ASSURE you that.

Ol' Smokey knows his stuff. He caught an 8 lber out of there last season! Huge fish. He always helps my brother and I out too with what he was having luck with, and fishing. Real nice guy

hahaha we did fish the 1st T with no pre fishing at all. hadnt been there for the whole season. Didnt sleep at ALL and only caught 1 4 lber. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hahahah

;D ;D ;D ;D

hahahhahahahhaha Steve 14 bucks haahhahaha I can't stop laughing. ;D Flippin is right though, some of these guys must be pushing 25 mph and I always hear them talking to their buddies about "oh I beat you to this spot" or "I pulled in right ahead of ya" at the weigh in. One day, when everything is just right, maybe we'll pull of a win. But I'm just lookin for a good time between now and then. All of the tourneys have been won downriver this year flippin. I think that the upriver bite picks up later, like you said in an earlier topic.

Yeah, winning bags range from 18-25 lbs depending on time of year. Biggest we have had was 19 lbs on a NON tournament day (there was a 3 week span with no tourneys last year) where my brother and I were just SLAMMING huge fish on carolina rigs. We've never caught so many 4 lbers ;D But honestly, just go and check it out, it's alot of fun. I don't expect to win, but we try to! 50 bucks every 2 weeks is a lot of money for 2 teenagers who have no jobs and have to save lunch money for tourney entries!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess thats dedication ;D

PS these guys really know what they're doing......

Fountainhead regional park hosts them.....Entrance is 50 dollars a boat (25 per person that INCLUDES big fish). Fish with whoever you want, you can pick your partner. Tourneys are every 2 weeks, this month there are 3 in a row though. You sign up the day of the tourney, get there early though. No boat limitations. You can use your boat. www.fountainheadbassclub.com Matt Strykul

I'll see you there GRod I haven't caught a nice fish there in a while...mostly buck bass up shallow. Haven't caught a limit yet this year :'( We're not doin too good, but it's too fun to just not fish them.

Nobody asked me to leave ;D But I may have been chillin under than dock.

Oh my god, that thing IS fat!

AWWW TISK TISK!!!! ;Djust playin guys.

I've heard bad things about rejuvenade...The guys in the tourneys I fish said that it's like speed for the fish and it just jacks them up. It doesn't calm them down, but keeps them alive by making them hyper. It's really stressful for the fish. Please release me is great, never lost a fish with it!

Steve don't tell them our lucky lake. PS we have actually been catching our fish on 15'' trout swimbaits ;D

I have to say, if I happened to find a pond that was hot and I didn't think it was overpressured already, I'd keep it to myself. I'd maybe tell a couple of people but tell them to keep it quiet too. Find some ponds yourself, google earth is great.

Isn't that Charteruse shad?

Again, that bait is just sexy!! Reminds me of a can of monster....

hahahaha oh my god don't tell them who we told that too. ;D

The bucks are definetly up shallow, last tournament thats all we could catch. Thank you guys for your time and advice Matt Strykul

I have a tournament coming up this weekend on a Reservoir where the fish were going up to spawn, but bad rains pushed them back. This was 10 weeks ago, and we haven't had the best weather since then either. The day of the tournament will be a cold front, rainy and 61 degrees as the high. I believe if the fish still haven't moved up that they are on the closest drop possible to the spawning flat, but what do you guys recomend throwing? What have you had success with? Thank you Matt Strykul

Was out last thursday and noticed all the dead shad as well! We fished from 6-8 and caught 2. One about a pound and a half, and the other was about 2 pounds. It got stuck on some structure but after about 5 minutes we got it un stuck and got the fish. All of the fish were on the same point, they weren't biting anywhere else.

Just read the other post, I guess spot removers arent shakey heads..
