Congratulations! What's the new job? 8-)

This is my suggestion: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1158577137 8-)

Please read FAQs. Everything there is to know or discuss about this bait can be easily accessed by simply following the links listed. This thread is closed. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator

X2 Buy two of these! Other colors and brands may work just fine, but this one is the BOMB! Chuck and wind, usually as fast as you can. The lure creates all the action, you don't "work" a trap. 8-)

Welcome aboard! 8-)

Fantastic lure/bait, especially over heavy cover. Proper rigging is VERY important: http://www.ragetail.com/ragetailshad.html 8-)

Minnows on a split shot rig. 8-)

Very nice!

Big bass minnows: $13/ lb (4-5 dozen) Medium (for sauger): $7.75/ lb (about 6 dozen) Small (crappie): $7.75/ lb (8-9 dozen) We figure we need about a dozen per man/per hour on the Tennessee River. 8-)

Welcome aboard! 8-)

I know about the error in the article, but I cannot edit an article like we can do with a post. Roger is correct, the AL state record was caught below Wheeler, not Guntersville. -Kent :-[

The bottom line is to experiment with the handle on the "wrong" side and see how you like it! Just kidding...Use what you like, it's not going to make a lot of difference. I fish baitcasters with a right hand retrieve, spinning tackle with a left hand retrieve. They both seem "natural" to me. 8-)

Hey! It's Friday, "Be Happy". Deep breath, this isn't worth a fight. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator

As Catt said, after awhile you'll get to know some of the guys a little better which will help sifting through all the conflicting opinions. For the most part, advice is well intended and we do have many VERY seasoned anglers. A few pros, several guides, tournament and big bass fishermen all contribute to the mix. From beginners to accomplished fishermen, there is always something here for everyone. 8-)

Geez... I went to bed before Nebraska got on the board. Congrats Cornhusker fans! That must have been one heck of a 4th quarter for your guys. 8-)

George Welcome: Let's get technical, as there are in fact reasons, not just some lame holdover from days past that put the handles where they are. What will move the fish during retrieval is placed to the strong hand! A baitcast is designed to be used as a winch, so it is the reel that retrieves the fish. Hence if you are right handed the handle is in your right hand. A spinning reel is designed to pick up unloaded or loose line, not retrieve the fish. Hence it is the rod that does the retrieval, so it is the rod that is in your strong hand. If you are right handed then the pole goes to the right hand. ______________________ This comes up every month and everyone seems to enjoy the topic. Here's a thread from 2007: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1187794805 We'll let this one run 4 pages, too! -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator 8-)

CONGRATULATIONS!

No. I caught a couple two weeks ago using a 3/4 oz football head and Baby Paca Craw. The the following weekend, -0- with a variety of hair jigs and a smaller presentation. This weekend I'm going with a white spinnerbait (lumiflex skirt) and GYCB Hula Grub (301) to start with. 8-)

So, how good are the Tigers without Chase Daniels?

Other than Champ Bailey and perhaps a couple of personal favorites, we don't know anything about these guys. From what I have heard and read, 6-10 was the talkl: Both Oakland and KC twice, then "get lucky" for two more! 8-)

I know some guides would take issue with some of that. "Big" is a subjective term. I know Steve Hacker, for example, has put his clients on hundreds of 5+ smallies fishing lures. However, over more than a decade of full-time guiding, his clients have only boated one 8 and he has none. (Note: This statement is based on an old interview and may not be 100% accurate today). Anyhow, I'm still going to try some other tricks, but for those that are interested in their best shot at a trophy on the Tennessee River, big minnows are the ticket. 8-)

Gentlemen: When you have a suggestion regarding "policy", please send your comments directly to me or one of the other Mods. I assure you, we always discuss member suggestions which are sometimes implemented. However, this issue has been decided as noted in Glenn's thread and my post a few lines up. Further discussion on the boards is unwarranted. This thread is closed. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator

NO. Glenn BassResource.com Administrator ***** Fishing reports Sep 27th 2009 at 09:39:57 Modify Howdy folks, If you have a fishing report you wish to post, please do so in the "My Fishing Tournament or Outing" section. That way, everyone can share your accomplishment. Thanks!!

In January, 2005 I caught fifteen smallmouth, eight over 5 lbs, the largest just over 7 lbs. The following Saturday, the two in my avatar were caught. Here are some pictures of those fish: http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/smallmouth_record.html ;D ;D ;D
