Couldn't resist picking these up for 1/2 price!

I just picked up my Pelican Bass Raider 10E last from academy. Looking forward to rigging it up and posting some pics!

I was just in my Walmart and they had them clearanced for $5 lol I picked me some up.

I read that book here while back, and it was a very interesting and good read. I liked his style of writing....but man some of the things he encountered sure is hard to believe!

Liked the write up! Nice fish as well!

I usually try to present the worm differently before I change colors but yes I reuse them.

^^Was wondering the same thing.

More worms/senkos, less hard baits. Just my .02

Within the next couple Saturdays I plan to make the 90 mile trip to Academy and pick up a Pelican Bass Raider 10E and all the goodies that we (me and my Father-in-law) are planning to put on it. Trolling motor, batteries, FF, etc, etc.? Can't wait to have my own boat this spring and summer!! Even if it's "small and slow" instead of "big and fast", it'll be awesome!

These lakes do get fished, but I don't think they get fished real hard. Thanks for the advice! The the water is generally murky..

That's Cool! Now you'll be able to get the best deals because you'll always know what's on sale or clearance!

When you do your best to show a customer that you care and try to make them happy and she gives you this right before you leave it makes it all worth it!!

That all sounds good to me. I'm thinking I will definitely pick up some 7" stickbaits, my pb actually came on a 5" stickbait but it just seems kinda small sometimes, so moving up to the 7" sounds good.

Sounds good to me!

So what type of T rigged plastic do you most commonly have tied on for quality bass?

Makes sense to me!!

Very true, thanks!

What's funny is that's not the mistake I noticed 1st when I looked at it! If you look on the title they spell it Berkley and in the description they spell it Berkely!! ??

Thanks, will definitely keep that in mind!

What I'm most confident using right now would be a Texas rigged senko...I know wacky rigs can be productive but just don't use them much, but it sounds like I need to use them more!

This last year I was able to catch 3 bass over 5 lbs and it was an awesome experience. I like catching numbers but I'm really wanting some more 4+ lb action this year. I'll be fishing in Texas in a small boat on lakes mostly 2,000 acres or smaller, most have standing timber and some vegetation. So what should be my strategy this spring and summer for some quality bass. Currently I'm thinking I will keep a rattletrap, a big worm and a jig tied on pretty much all the time. And when I night fish I will add a black spinner bait to that list. (2 of my fish over 5 lbs last year came on a rattletrap) I'm not wanting to give up smaller fish exclusively but I want to better my odds for some nice fish. What's yalls thoughts? If y'all had the same goal in mind would you pick differently? Should I consider adding anything? I understand it's not all in the bait/lure but I do want to choose my startup wisely.

Quite a haul!! Very nice of you @A-Jay

Awesome stuff!!

Awesome, would love to visit someday.
