12poundbass

Don’t throw anything at the windows!

55 yesterday morning when I left for work at 6 am.

You’re good, I doubt anyone was offended by anything you’ve posted.

Our lakes around here are 400 acres or less. A lot of the houses are vacation homes around here. The lake I live on is different, almost everyone is a permanent resident.

I’m not afraid of scaring the fish, It’s the homeowner that I’m mindful of. I live on a lake, if I had a pontoon and someone banged a jig off a toon or my dock I wouldn’t care. My bass boat or the cowling of my outboard, I’d get a little ticked.

It’ll be a long time before I launch any of my lures towards aluminum docks or any type of boat. Woods docks, sure, they don’t make much noise when a lure goes crashing into them.

The roll cast is what they all recommended to do, and what I’m using. The backlash is getting less frequent and when I do it’s minimal. I’m using a Tatula and I have the brakes set on 16, I started on 20 and I’m slowly backing off on the brakes.

My best skip was probably 8-10’, accuracy was non existent, but I’ll work on that later. Zona said similar to what you said @Hammer 4, when he was fishing 3 hour tournaments when he was younger, he’d go and skip docks and getting fish others weren’t, and winning money doing that.

I’ve tried a few times to no avail. Today on my lunch I watched a Zona video, then I fell into a rabbit hole, and watched an Andy Montgomery video (that guy is crazy good), then I finished with a B-Lat video, all on skipping. I came home and spent some time in the back yard like I do most nights fishing with 6poundbass. The fish weren’t biting like last night so I decided I was going to give it a go again, this is a big plus to living on a lake, you can practice, practice, practice. Well I stuck with it and I’m getting the hang of it. Accuracy is poor but I’m not quite worried about that yet. 6poundbass saw me skipping so he decided to give it a go and now my 10 year old is getting the hang of skipping too! I know I have a long ways to go, but it’s quite a bit of fun skipping! The tip that finally clicked with me and got me over the hump was from B-Lat. He said when casting start low and end high. Once I started raising my rod tip on the follow through my blades jig really started skipping. Fun stuff!

This is Bluegrass, so it’s close enough. For those of you who haven’t heard of the Steeldrivers, do you recognize that lead?

There must be several things missing upstairs to try something like this. The guys in the wing suits are pretty crazy too, “let’s fly through bridge supports”. A few of them only attempted it once if you catch my drift.

Welcome to BR. I spent a few seasons hunting Dawes county in Nebraska, beautiful part of the state!

Good tune, they have quite a few good songs.

Newer (7 years old) but sounds like and older song, love it!

Sparky

Our feeder creek goes through a ton of farm land as well. From the research I’ve done farm runoff, lack of rain, not a lot of boat traffic, and high temps are major factors in algae blooms.

What’s the consensus on this crank? The reason I ask is a regional chain store has them on clearance for $2.50. I rarely throw cranks but at that price the bait monkey is pushing me to get some.

Sounds like a good day! We’ve had quite the algae bloom here too, this is the second big one of the year. I’m not a big fan of the lake getting sprayed, but when the lake is almost completely choked off with algae, it’s a welcome sight to see the airboat come on our lake a kill the algae which they did Thursday. It hasn’t slowed the fishing, 6poundbass has already caught 5 bass in 20 minutes tonight.

Is that your kids lake?

Why add weight to a Senko? It takes away from what a Senko does. My wife out fishes me 3:1 with a weightless Senko and has for 15 years. I’ll admit it!

Is it possible to ban the owner of the site? Asking for a friend. ?

I haven’t watched but I’ve been following. Wheeler isn’t human! His last two events resulted in a win and 2nd, now he was leading at the beginning of the day today....
