  1. Welcome aboard! Instead of Hot Springs, consider joining the gang at Pickwick next May. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/102156-2013-roadtrip-youre-invited/
  2. Nope... Rage Tail Baby Craw, Craw and Lobster only.
  3. $350 plus a tip is pretty much the going rate. Without references from someone you know, it's impossible to tell exactly how the deal works. I have had GREAT guides and even with references, terrible ones. So, trry to get a referral if you can.
  4. I don't know about Oregon, but 4-5 is common in Erie, St. Clair and Lake Champlain. In the Mid South, 5 lbs is consider a "good fish". My friends keep a running account of 5+ fish; our best year was 52. There have only been a hand full of 10 lb smallmouth ever reported. I netted one for my friend, Speedy Madewell! Anyhow, the northern lakes produce HUGE numbers, but we have a better chance of catching a monster.
  5. Definitely! I can hardly watch the "Awards". The last one lost me about half way through the show.
  6. Give the new Rage Tail Menace a try. I think you are going to be amazed!
  7. That's a fine fish.
  8. We'll see how things are going, but in the spring there is no particular advantage below the dam unless you are targeting stripers. The smallmouth "action" you hear so much about is below Wilson, not Pickwick. If that's hot, we might make a day trip up there with anyone that's interested.
  9. Five Rules For Men To Follow For A Happy Life 1. It's important to have a women who helps at home, cooks from time to time, cleans up and has a job. 2. It's important to have a women who can make you laugh. 3. It's important to have a woman whom you can trust and doesn't lie to you. 4. It's important to have a woman who is good in bed and likes to be with you. 5. It's very, very important that these four women do not know each other or you could end up dead like me.
  10. Yo-Zuri Hybrid #4 .009" diameter 8.5 lb breaking strength
  11. For enthusiasts, technique specific gear is fun to collect. However, three rigs cover all the basics: #1 6 1/2' or 7' MH baitcaster for jigs, some soft plastics and spinnerbaits #2 6 1/2' or 7' MM baitcaster for treble hook lures #3 7' MF spinning rod for lighter lures and a variety of techniques
  12. Well, there is NOTHING country about Keith Urban or Taylor Swift.
  13. If you shop around you might be able to pick up a St. Croix Avid AVC68MXF gently used in your price range. If you are considering a reel for your new rig, look at the Citica 200E. Gently used for $75-$85.
  14. St. Croix LEC70MHF/ Calais 200/ #12 Yo-Zuri Hybrid
  15. Rage Tail Shad, Toad, Space Monkey, Smokin' Rooster and Menace will all work.
  16. My favorite is the dropshot rig.
  17. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/106317-top-ten-soft-plastics-please-add-your-own/
  18. Looks like you had a ball!
  19. Nice fish, great pic! Unfortunately, scales tend to cause fish to lose weight. Most 'bout 7 or 8 are ~5. Unweighed 5's are usually 3-4.
  20. For weightless soft plastics, I prefer a M/F spinning rod. For weighted soft plastics and jigs, H/F baitcasting tackle. Also, I like 7' rods.
  21. Fish the outside edges. In addition to your spinnerbait, you migh try a swimjig, soft swimbait, GYCB Kreature, Smokin' Rooster or Space Monkey Rage Rigged and the new Rage Tail Menace rigged with the tail vertical. Crankbaits are another option.
