Anyone know of any good soft plastic bait companies? I am looking for a smaller company to start purchasing my soft plastics from. I prefer to do this because these baits are different than most fisherman use and I seem to catch more fish with baits from these type of companies. Let me know what companies you like, website addresses would be great.

Buy yourself some DVD's from Bass Pro Shops. Also check out Bass Center every Saturday on ESPN2. Keep reading the articles on this site and checking out this forum.

Just make sure you show off your stylish hair do!! So all the competitors will want to go get their hair done at your Mom's salon!

Hey a guys gotta do what a guys gotta do!! Shop around and you can find a good deal. If you can wait until early January and buy a new boat. You can get a brand new boat warranty and all at a huge discount! Because the 2006 models will be coming out and they need to loose the inventory to make room, it is also the slow season for most boat dealerships.

Good luck today guys hope you both catch a hog!! I would start with some topwater action then go to soft plastics rigged weightless. Small hair jig could be deadly also. Have fun

OK I am going to keep this short and sweet. Rick Clunn sticks with his sponcers and will only reperesent products he feels works. Roland Martin changes sponcers every year!! And I think we all remeber the Helicopter lure. Rick's4 Bassmaster Classic victories and one Angler Of The Year title along with making the classic twenty - eight times consecutive far out weighs Roland's nine Angler of the Year titles. Especially because he had so much help in the early days, before B.A.S.S. changed the rules. They changed them because of Roland. They might not admit it but it's true! NUFF SAID RICK GETS MY VOTE HANDS DOWN!!!

Those rubber nets are fine until you have a hook puncture all the way through the rubber. Then you either have to cut the barb off the hook to get it out. I prefer coated nets. Like the bassmaster series.

HOOK SET: Ok now think of it this way lets say you have your car stuck in a mud hole out in a swamp. I come out to pull you out. I hook the chain up to you and take all the slack out of the chain then try and pull you out. What happens? I get stuck too because my tires started spinning. Now lets say I leave just a touch of slack in the chain and yank your car. What happens? I just jerked your car out of the mud hole. Make sense? Leave just a "little" slack in your line. Then set the hook as soon as you detect the strike. This will "just like the car" jerk the hook through the jaw of the bass. Finally leave the hook just skinned in the worm.

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get a windsheild for my old boat. It is a 1983 Bass Tracker III. I would like it to be an original model, but will accept a after market. I seen Cabela's has some but that is the only place I've found that carries any windseilds at all. I checked at the local dealership but they want over $160.00 to order me one. Any help would be appreciated as always! Thanks and tight lines, Fatdaddy151

I think we should let Glenn work out all the details. I would be more than happy to attend and meet everyone from the site. Sure would be cool. So what do you say Glenn?? Please organize the first BassResource Master Classic. It would be the biggest bass fishing tournament ever!!!

Welcome to the site. This is best bass fishing site on the web. Everyone here is polite and willing to help another basser. You can read up on articles on the sites home page, print out sheets to keep a log book, and ask all these good bass fisherman for advise when needed. See ya around!

I had this exact thing happen to me when I was eight years old. I was fishing with my dad, I went to the front of the boat to get a soda out of the cooler then POW. Felt like someone had just smacked me in the back. A 1/2 oz Rat-L-Trap nicely placed in the middle of my back. Those treble hooks went in deep! So I too had a trip to the emergency room. So I feel for your wife, but things like this help us to remember to be careful. Did she get a tetnus shot? That was the worst part about my visit.

The Eagle fishmark 320 is a great finder. Has temp and is speed compatiable. It also has a large screen which makes it easier to see. I have two of them and I love them. I purchased mine from Bass Pro Shops. I paid $100.00 for each.

That would be one huge fishing tournament. With over 1600 members. Thats 800 boats on the water if we paired up. With an entry fee of $50.00 a person the total payout would be over $80,000.00 my guess is winner would take home over $40,000.00 Could you imagine fishing a tournament with 1600 entries. Talk about some pressured fish!!!

Really it all depends on your partner. I know many guys say that you can bring up to four rods. And two tackle boxes. If the boater has a small boat he may ask that you bring less, A boater with a big boat may say bring more. Ask the boater you are going to fish with and get the details from that person. In my eyes you should try and keep things to a minimum "I know that is hard for us bassers".

;D I LOVE YOU MAN LOL. No really I think all here would agree. Thanks to all of you.

SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA CHRIS!

Easy there Marty what has Brauer done that KVD, Yelas, and Davis hasn't? Infact I think they have done as much if not more, less time. I think that makes their accomplishments that much more impressive.

Larry Nixon #6 no way. This guy should have been number 4!!

SPINNERBAIT, CRANKBAIT, OR A SOFT JERKBAIT. THAT IS IF THE WATER IS CLEAR TO MODERATLY STAINED. KEEP THE BAIT JUST ABOVE THAT NASTY MOSS. HOPE THIS HELPS.

This is a good all around boat. A 2005 with a 150 hp mercury optimax runs and rides well. Has a value of just over $25,000.00 depends on the options. $25,000.00 will get you a brand new Ranger 185 VS that is nicely rigged, with most of the options!

I frequent many bass fishing sites. I must say that this is by far the best site out there.

Good purchase on the Stratos. They are very nice boats. Post some picks so we can see your new baby.

I already stated that I go when ever I can. But just cause you think that the time of day is wrong, hit the water anyway. This will help you become a better angler. Being able to put a couple fish in the boat during tough conditions, helps build confidence.

Plastic 95% of the time. Only use pork trailer when I want to really slow the fall of my jig.
