Check out this video of My four year old Son. I call him the tiger woods of Bass fishng. He has four fish over four pounds to his credit already. Just slick the lind and enjoy. Let me know what you think. Thanks http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Addictive+fishing+with+cody&sitesearch=#

Y-all come on down to Oklahoma and I'll be happy to fish with ya. Grand lake has ton's of fish! ask anyone who fished in the elite series and they will tell you... you can't keep them off of your line! You can fish for big fish, or just for quantity, either way your gonna catch plenty of bass. And Eufaula (oklahoma of course) is just a stones throw away. Plenty of smallies, spots and blacks too.

Thanks guys. I went yesterday fished points and major creek channels at the bends and then tried a few coves with deep water 20 ft or more. water temp was 44 and I found one cove that it was 46 with no success. I tried depths from 6-30 ft. I fished cover(rocks and brush) and threw everything I had. fished all of them painstkenly slow with no sucess. the water was muddy and I tried dark and chartruese colors. my bait were swimming spoons, jigs, slow spinners, deep cranks, finess worms, salamanders, worms, and salt crawls. I fished from sun up to sun down. At this point I am really frustrated. I have had such great success this year fishing small tournaments and thought I had this thing figured out. Now I am second guessing.

Hey guys, here's a problem. I live in central Oklahoma and have been skunked the last 6 outings trying to catch bass in water temps from 39 to 45 degrees with no luck. I have heard how bass will clump up together if you find them. The lake I am fishing in is Eufaula (oklahoma) Most of the days the wind has been terrible and the only clear water is upper lake. I have tried 5-10 ft of water when the days have gotten into the 70's (just this last week) for the most part weather has been cold. 30-40 degrees. What is the best teqnique and where should I be looking? there is a good spot that has a deep river channel about 40 yards wide and quickly goes to 10-3 ft flats some of the river has rock and for the most part will be cloudy with river run off that I have not tried yet, or should I stay on main lake points. If the weather hold the water should be in the 50's soon. Also lots of standing timber everywhere with sandy bottoms. I have not found any grass to speak of on the lake this time of year. Thanks

A friend of mine had two small paranas (sp?) in a fish tank. One day we caught a small rock bass about 4 to 5 inches, food for the paranas. well the rock bass got his butt kicked! but ate the two small paranas. I thought it was funny he spent money on those fish just to get eaten by what we thought would be food.

I am seriously looking at buying the new 987 si. is there anyone out there who has one? is it worth the $2000 price tag? Pro's and con's?

you can never go wrong with a Falcon. I hate to say it, but you bought the low end of the Falcon rods. That is not a bad thing, because in my opinion all falcon rods are good rods. they make so many different rods it will make your head spin. I physically went down to the plant and had them tell me what rod fit, for what I was needing. Now that I have beefed up falcon, I also have a few shimano rods that I absolutley love. and in some cases feel better that my falcon's. They are also cheaper and have a life time warenty at Bass Pro. The main thing is how does the rod feel for you. I have two 71/2 ft berkley's that I can not live without. the only difference is the eye lets and I will replace them when they go bad. Good luck and remeber it's the (polically correct) person and not the arrows. (althogh having staighter arrows will help)

I had the chance to meet Jimmy just last week. I have to tell you, I don't care or even know how many tournaments he has won. All I know is he is one of the few that has helped advance Bass fishing. he is truely a class act, and for someone with his reputation to sit with a common man like myself and just talk..... well that says alot in my book. Believe me when I tell you, The guy knows how to fish! I'm no slouch either, but I learned a few things that day. So I would just like to say. give respect where respect has been earned. Jimmy earned it. He also plans on fishing for at least another 5 years. I asked him jokingly to stay around long enough for me to compete against him. He laughed the way he always does. THANKS JIMMY!

I tend to agree with the rest of you. Most tournament fishermen do more to help the fishing enviroment, than harm. As already mentioned, it has to do with the person. You can't judge all, because of a few. however, I would like to address the PLEASURE BOATERS. I was fishing a tournament when, by my own stupidity, fishing on the main part of the lake I got pounded by the BIG boats. I'm not complaining about the Wakes they left, But these guys have got to get MORE CLOTHES on their girls! How in the world do you expect me to concentrate on fishing with all of those string bikini's!!! And stop pretending to pick stuff up off of the deck when you pass by!! That is my complaint! Not really just trying to make light of the situation. Bad day of fishing but had a great view!

I live in Broken Arrow. And the other thing I learned about Eufaula is that it can be a very dangous Lake! If the winds are blowing you better be prepared, Also the lake is not marked very well, Depth changes and trees. My goodness Trees are every where. I was cruising about 65 mph in about 40ft of water and looked around to find myself in the middle of them. Be careful if you ever go there.

First of all thanks for all of the info you guys gave me on the lake. so here it is. We finished about 80th out of just under 400 boats. Not bas but not in the money. I lost a big fish that had my drag singing. Oh the one that got away! My partner caught a nice 4 1/2 pund brownie! Got it on a spinner playing around. Soem people get lucky. The other fish came on plastics. I am excited about this tournamnet fishing. This is only our second Big tournament (300 boats or more) and both times we were in the top 90. No money yet, but still learning. Tournament fishing is different than fishing for fun, And it si a learning process. Thanks guys, I'll let you know how the next one goes. Until then I'll keep reading and giving help when I can.

I fished the ozarks in sept. and did pretty well, here are the lessons I learned. Get away from where all the big boats travel! It will kill your fishing. ( you probably won't have to worry about that this time of year tho) The colors I found to work best was a green pumpkin with red flake, a blue jig with a light puple trailer, and better have some DD22's with you. Light colors cuz the water is clear. The locals that won our 2 day tournament won with just under 40lbs. 6 fish limit. big bass was around 7lbs. Good luck and hope this helps.

thanks Deuceu, I have been doing that, well like yesterday fishing deep structure 20-25 ft deep and all I could muster was a 3 punder. and I know there are bigger fish in that lake. (eufaula, OK.) I'm told alot of big smallies that I fail to catch.

Got a very small problem guys. I need to consistanly catch bigger bass! I do well in most of the tournaments I enter, but I fail to catch the bigger bass. I almost always fill my live wells with limits, but have a hard time getting that one or two kickers you need to win. There are some people who consistantly catch the 5-6 pounders. HOW DO THEY DO IT? Am I just unlucky or is there a technique I have't learned yet? Help please. e-mail me if you can't get it all in on this site
