Devcon 2 ton 30 minute epoxy. Allen

Nate is just that good at catching the lunkers everywhere he goes!

Where are all the fishing reports? Someone on here has to be fishing. Allen

He use to post on here and TU? Bentonb was his screen name on TU but not sure what he was going by on here but I think it was Big M? Allen

95mm in Hasu. Allen

I suck at tying hair jigs as well! I have a plan to make a mold to pour a grub with a hair tail. Allen

http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/Content/LureMakingTips.htm Janns has some videos and instructions on how to make lures. I suggest you start by trying to duplicate a lure you use frequently. Making jigs or spinnerbaits from pre-made heads is the easiest place to start. Soft plastics are a little harder and require more start up costs but not too difficult. Allen

I think that is a Yo-Zuri bait based on the color and shape of the mouth? Like someone said you can get another hook hanger and epoxy it in. Allen

Yum or Madman? I would defer to Smalljaw67's post as he seems to know the subtle differences. Somewhere I have a plano box with a bunch of those in it that I do not use. Allen

Figured you were crappie fishing at first based on where you were at? Water was really dark so I only made a few casts with the jerkbait. I caught 8 but nothing of any size? Biggest was 4lbs at most. Allen

Boat is hooked up and ready to go for Saturday. Black Hills is our first club tournament of the year. Allen

Do you have a big BPS sticker on the side of your boat? There were one or two boats I recognized besides the catfish master Nate. Allen

FIFY Bassmaster is just a advertising pamphlet for a few companies. Allen

I have fished there while this is going on and it was fine. There will be cops at the gate but they let you fish. The wife and kids will be gone so I may fish both days? Allen

That is a PIC lighter. Allen

They stock trout like that so people can catch and keep them. There is a 1 acre pond by my house that they stock like 500 trout for a kids fishing derby. The pond is 3' deep at most (City regulation) with no cover or baitfish so it cannot sustain anything. Allen

Maryland has certain places they close in order to stock trout so if they are listed you are SOL. I was fishing a local lake several years ago that they were o stocking with trout the same day I was fishing it. The DNR said something to me to which I replied I was a bass fisherman and could give a s**t less about the trout. The Warden gave me a song and dance about fishing during the stocking to which I replied I didn't know about the stocking until the truck showed up? He them tried saying I was fishing for them (using a 1/2oz jig and LC pointer 100sp like all trout fishermen) to which I replied no I was not and if he felt so to search my boat? Guy searched my boat and found some drop shot minnows which meant I was fishing for trout according to him so he threatened me again. Most of the MDDNR I deal with is professional but I guess this guy was use to illegals or something so I just said go ahead and prove that in court? Mood change that led and I got a "warning" but that lake was not closed officially for any stocking so he can go screw himself. Allen

Figured I would check out the spot everyone is fishing. Allen

Creature baits work better in the spring and fall than a worm for me. Summer it is a toss up except worms are better for the grass. Allen

According to that site Black Hills is a good SM lake? I have only seen one SM in ten years of fishing that lake. Allen

Where did you get straight black tubes? Allen

Any idea what the water temp is? Allen

Find some hidden weight baits as they offer the smaller profile and weigh enough to fish. The bait in my Avatar is a 3/8oz built on a 1/4oz frame with twin willows 3.5 and 4. This is my most productive combo overall that I use. Allen

Red flake has worked better for me. Allen
