Can't Catch Bass

Kind of a somber topic, but I feel like I don't have anyone that I'd like to pass on my life's work to. I have family and I do love them, but given their financial situation as well as my own I feel like I'd just be spoiling them. I read about a program that has been breeding large trophy bass and introducing them to different lakes. I didn't catch the name, but something like this I'm interested in donating to....I'm interested in similar programs as well... I would love to help enhance the experience for seasoned as well as young anglers. Maybe a fish stocking program? What nonprofit would you consider the best bang for your buck?

Organizing is one thing, keeping inventory is another.

If your **** is hanging on a hook and not accurately kept on a sheet of paper you've lost your fight.

Wire, wire, wire!!! I'm a shore fisherman, so I have to walk around strapped to anything I fish. I only fish zman green pumpkin plastics.

I think everyone "over-thinks" it and you left out the most important element, which is proximity. It's like the chubby girl at the bar that you normally wouldn't talk to, but being that you're at a bar, had a bit to drink, now they're suddenly more attractive... Yeah, we all know what happened. I think the same thing goes for fish. The more time you spend closer to them the better your chances are of them having a lapse of judgement. There's times you can connect the dots and say, "the mayfly hatch was happening, so that's why they were so on my whopper plopper... there were mayfly scuba, splash, sex parties going on everywhere!". Or it could be that the hatch had them all close to the surface feeding and that was why the bite was on.

Nevermind, I just went with watermelon

One other quick question. I'm looking at photos on bass pro... I fish green pumpkin almost exclusively. The green pumpkin for this line up has orange in it, which I think will make this look a little out of whack with the forage species. Are the pics on bass pro accurate? It looks like watermelon might be the better option.

Perfect, thanks

Hello. I was looking for suggestions for a replacement to my zman 1/8oz micro finesse jigs. Does anyone know of a similar sized jig with a weed guard and a different style head that comes through weeds better?

Hi everyone. I'm struggling with hook sets with my current setup... Okuma sst 7ft medium light power, moderate action with a Shimano Nasci 2500 spooled with 15lb braid and 7lb flouro leader. I throw primarily smaller zman baits (T-rigged, dropshot, neko) using the following hooks... Vmc #1 ike neko, owner cover shot 1/0, zman ewg bulletz, owner 2/0 light wire twistlock swimbait hooks, zman shrooms. I'll also on occasion throw a booyah pond magic spinnerbait, a strike king finesse buzzbait or finesse popper. I'm a bank fisherman and I need to have a 2pc (or travel) rod so it'll fit in my car. I'm more partial to split handles, but it's not required. I've been looking at the following and I'm open to advice/suggestions... - St Croix Triumph 7' med light fast - Fenwick HMX 6'6 Med light moderate fast Budget is $150 Thanks in advance.

Hi all. I just stumbled across this little gadget and I was surprised I hadn't heard of it before. Does anyone have experience with it?

Hello. I just purchased some inexpensive 1/16 oz drop shot weights that I didn't realize are lacking the pinched eyelet that traditional drop shot weights have. What knot should I be tying to the eyelet that should break if the weight gets hung so I don't lose the entire rig?

You better tie a swivel on that thing.

I actually just placed an order with discount tackle in Oregon. I picked up a bunch of zman plastics, roboworms, a couple war eagle finesse spinners and vmc weedless neko hooks. Prices seem very competitive and free shipping if you're over $59
