Don't worry about the length of the story, it was GREAT! I would feel the same way about landing her with spinning gear!!! As Ever, skillet

Haven't heard anything but good from anyone that bought one ... As Ever, skillet

Unless I'm going back the next day, I do. Thinking about it, I'll back 'em off most of the time even then... As Ever, skillet

WELCOME to the both of you and glad ya'll decided to join!!! As Ever, skillet

Didn't really know any Bass fishermen back then and figured out the thing with retrieving it just below the surface when I was in a hurry to get home for supper and accidently was reeling FAST . You ought to try that with a Zebco 33 and a Lew's Speed Stick. Geared so low , it will wear you out in short while ;D. It's strange, what Mepps #3 said about going to #4 for larger fish. I don't find that a #4 works as well as #3 and they don't seem to work as well (for me ) in large bodies of water as ponds or small lakes. Always just used brown or white bucktails, gonna have to try those Black Furies, THANKS ... As Ever, skillet

Good info already (large bait near deeper water and jig)! Smaller fish will still hit larger bait just not as likely and with larger bait larger fish. Clear as mud...huh? I'll stop now and say WELCOME to the forums!!! As Ever, skillet

You've already gotten some good info so I'll just say WELCOME to the forums!!! As Ever, skillet

flippin4it, Mepps #3 was the 1st lure I used when I started fishing for Bass, more than 30 :oyrs ago. They are as adaptable as regular spinnerbait. A regular straight-in retrieve, straight-in with twitches, yo-yoing it in or what's really fun (low light like late evening) retrieve it fast enough to ride just below the surface and cause a bulge in the water! GREAT strikes that way ... As Ever, skillet

We've been out here for about 12 years and I've always wondered about that. Have never had a collision..........yet! As Ever, skillet BTW It's great how they sound like the original X-wing fighters on the 1st Star Wars

Ancestors were mostly English and Irish. Have never had a tan that I couldn't sunburn! My dermatologist doesn't have to worry about college for her kids. Folks like me have already paid for it. Have had basil cell and melanoma removed. Straight from the horse's mouth "cover up or use sunscreen".... As Ever, skillet

Glad you'll be Bass fishing soon and WELCOME to the forums!!! As Ever, skillet

Pretty sure we've got some members from that area and WELCOME to the forums!!! As Ever, skillet

Not EVEN close! Will say WELCOME to the forums!!! As Ever, skillet

Found out a long time ago guessing weight of fish is not one of my better qualities (don't have many)! NICE fish! Great when you can up your PB!!! As Ever, skillet

Only good for shopping on-line . Since there is one pretty close, I'd rather go in and on everything before I buy ... As Ever, skillet

Catching the quality of Bass (plus, it's here in the mid south) you do, you definitely deserve winning .. As Ever, skillet

;DWho cut the cheese Man! ;D Myself, I always wondered about those suspicous little trail of bubbles that you see when you're out fishing ... As Ever, skillet

WELCOME to the forums!!! As Ever, skillet

wdy77, just North and West of you! Haven't been to Horseshoe in a number of years. Started fishing there with my parents when really young. Lots of Crappie, Bream (Shellcrackers) and Bass! I fish mostly small lakes or ponds in Shelby Forest area. There are some members that fish the lakes you mentioned a lot. Hopefully they'll chime in on this... As Ever, skillet
