I knew right away by the bend in his rod that he had something other than a LM Bass. This was a first for me! Which is really surprising since Lake Eufaula, AL has lots of Gators. I recommended to him to keep tapping his snout with the rod tip and he did finally let go. I was sure glad the double hooks did not penetrate into his mouth. The Frog and line were not damaged.

I have a OYNX and no issues. Sometimes I have to check to make sure I am wearing it!

PB 7.5 lb March 2016 Lake Eufaula, AL Rod: Gander Mountain 6' 6" Medium Heavy Reel: Quantum MG 1310 Baitcaster Line: McCoys Copolymer 17 lb Lure: Zoom 8" Magnum Black Emerald Lizard

Found out yesterday that Gators love frogs. Had a 3 foot Gator take my fishing partner's frog and it took us 15 minutes to get him to let it go!

Mann's Loudmouth 2 all different colors. My confidence lure when covering a lot of shallow water areas.

It would all depend on lures and techniques you want to use. For example crankbaits would be more effective in their particular depth range with 10 to 14 lb test. For general bass fishing with soft plastics like worms and lizards I use 17 to 20 lb line. For heavy cover I will go with 35 to 64 lib braid. Lots of variables to consider and I myself am still learning.

Welcome to the forums!

I usually have good luck in shallow ponds with a shallow running crankbait that dives 2 to 12 inches. Try different retrieval speeds until you get a strike.

During the past 2 years I have purchased around 6 new rods. 3 of them were Gander Mountain brand 6 ft 6 in medium heavy baitcaster type rods for $20 each. I use them mostly with Texas rigged worms and lizards. Guess which rods I have caught the most fish on?

Just starting trying to fish with senko worms. Bought the Bass Pro Kit when it was on sale. By watching Glenn's video's they can be rigged many different ways. I believe the most effective way would be hooking the worm in the middle section (wacky style) to allow for a up and down motion on each end on the fall for a reactionary strike. Look forward to leaning this type fishing!

I fish for Bass to: To get out in the great outdoors by fishing wildlife areas as much as posssible, to relieve stress, learn new ways to fish, plan a strategy to catch more fish when weather conditions are working against you. I could go on and on.............................

Congratulations to Mr. Bill Evans!

Last spring I caught my PB and my brother was with me. She was on the bed so I let her go very quickly after taking a photo. My brother had a fit and wanted me to keep her. I reminded him that I caught the fish and it was my right to release the fish or not. If he had caught the fish it would have been his personal right to decide to release her or not. I personally always catch and release. I have tested my live wells for operation but have never had a fish in them. It is all personal preference as long as you are within the law.

If you are presently not too worried about maintaining the highest credit score possible divide balance into equal payments calculated up to the month interest will be applied for a balance of $0. Otherwise pay balance off monthly.

What about the trailer wheel bearings? Are they usually lubed and inspected at a tire store or somewhere else like a boat dealership? I usually inspect and lube them myself but might have to have someone else do them one day. I know the hubs will eventually need be replaced which include the bearings etc.

great thread. Lots of good info on how to remove a hook in the gullet.

Had that happen with an owl. It was in the middle of the day and he went for my top water lure. Jerked it away just in time. Owls are very fast!

Glenn, I cannot find the UPDATE button on the member map ??

Retired and now Bass Fishing every chance I get. I fish mostly at Lake Eufaula AL but ready to explore Lake Seminole. Bass Resources is the premier web site for Bass Fishing without a doubt. I am always trying to learn new technics and strategies. Not sure if I am on the member map. Tried using staff directions but could not find click update your location??

Sure that would be great.

We intended to fish last Saturday a week ago behind the dam (first time for me) on the River launching early from Franklin Landing. They must have had a tournament going on because it was slammed! So we went on to Hardridge Creek and not 1 boat was there. We fished from there for about half the day and caught nothing. Last time I had any good luck was back in June across from Old Creek Town on the GA side with a crankbaits fishing the grass and blowdowns. All 5 were keepers.

I already have 1 fishing partner in Eufaula but looking for a few more as he cannot go as much as I like to.

If any of you live in the Eufaula or Dothan Alabama area and interested in bass fishing (or knows someone) on Lake Eufaula, AL during the weekdays send me a message. Not into Tournaments. Retired and just want to bass fish with no pressure. I also intend to explore Lake Seminole in the near future. Prefer some experience bass fishing and launching and recovering a boat.
