Wow that’s a great couple of days I’m jealous.

Nice fish

I believe they have it if not kvd has one that is really close to it.

Went out for a few hours this morning I thought conditions were perfect. Dark and cloudy slight breeze just a touch of drizzle here and there only 45 out though. Caught one on popmax second cast was thinking yeah it’s on. Then nothing no more top water of any kind no spinner bait, chatter bait, crankbait, tried some plastics I don't understand. Nothing on small swimbait with keel weighted hook and under spin, nothing on jerkbait. The fall bite has just not worked out for me. Fishing from shore when you know there are fish in these waters and you just can’t find or get to them is tough sometimes. I go out at least three time a week a couple hours at a time is all I can squeeze in, mostly afternoon or night. I just can’t seem to get any consistency. The weather has been up and down and back and forth I don’t think that helps but I just can’t get on them. I’m gonna keep trying and look forward to spring.

I want one for a cranking set up so that’s what I would use it for.

What size do you use. Was thinking I should have grabbed the middle one.

I keep my bpack in my truck at all times and plastics don’t melt. I once even forgot a ziplock back full of bags of soft plastics on the dash of my truck with the windows up in July and they didn’t melt, don’t recommend that though. I think you have most problems when you mix different plastics together.

I live in mass also, I havnt been able to catch anything lately day or night. Not for lack of trying I’ve still been going atleast three times a week. Top water, cranks or plastics and I get a random dink if I’m lucky. I only fish from shore and I really feel like I’m fishing wear they are not right now. But I keep trying.

Anyone play with them. As you may have seen on another thread I picked one up the other day. Took it out to toss it around last night, no fish but it was cool. Swims great and walks amazing, also if you real a little faster it swims about 6” under the surface. Would love to hear any thing you guys have to say about them.

Nice fish looks pretty long.

That’s quiete a fish man congrats. You just have hit it right on the head, I can’t imagine that thing swimming fast with that gut.

I don’t have much to add, but I woul live to see all that go in that box.

The bps carbonlite 2.0 MH/f is what I have and I really like it for $120.

I think they were made for chatterbaits so maybe they need the thump for the action. They seem to have plenty of action on them.

I miss a few also. Just make sure your hook is just skin hooked a little bit or sitting right on the back, so not so much plastic to go through. Nose hooked if you can should increase hook ups.

I was checking out the ugly stick spin cast combos for my grandson next year. I almost can’t get over how sloppy the real is. He has a Jurassic world dock demen type now. He’s six and I feel they outgrow their set up every year right now anyway so no point in spending money on one yet. I think if they stay interested after a few seasons then get them something better. Just my two sence

Ok so, good week for the tackle box bad week for the wallet. My buddy asked me to take the ride to bass pro with him when I was already there once this week. And again against my judgment I went. Two trips in one week is bad for the wallet lol. I have to admit the rat was a impulse.

That’s awesome, that must have been a blast thanks for the link.

You know what they say about no pics lol.

They work better for me then other poppers. It’s like a bubbling walking bait the the way I use it. You guys are posting colors and boxes I’ve havnt seen yet. Pretty cool I might be grabbing another tonight.

Yeah, in reality I know it’s his discount not mine and it won’t get to carried away. But he will definitely be grabbing me a few lures here and there on his way home lol. I’m also more likely to make the trip just cause a freind works there. Either way it could be good and bad for me. If he even gets the job, I may have gotten a little to excited right off the bat. In all seriousness I do know right from wrong and don’t want anyone to put there job on the line for my tackle obsession.

In my mind, if I was the manager. I wouldn’t mind if someone used there discount for friends and family. Now I am likely to make allot more purchases because of the discount as apposed to without it. You would think over the course of a year the profit would be larger with a larger volume of sales, apposed to less sales at full price. Idk I would be more likely to make the 45 minute trip there allot more often and could maybe spend several hundred more over the course of the year. Also having him just grab me a few things st end of his shift saves me allot of trips. I’m not trying to get to carried away with this conversation just thinking him being able to save me a few dollars on some pricey lures and ammo would be a win in my book.

That sure is pretty.

Weightless t rigged or nose hooked depending on the weeds. Twitch,twitch pause. Through the nose you can use a smaller hook. Bassresource has a couple good fluke vids you should check them out. Also t rigged I’ve found you kinda have to let them have it for a second for a better chance at the hookset. In my expirience I just seem to miss a few also. Good luck when the fluke bite is on it’s awesome and allot of fun.

A freind of mine is trying to get a job at bass pro. I’m so excited, I really need him to get that job. This could be the best news I’ve heard all week.
