Smells like fish

I bought one of the salesman sample boards with 16 Timber Tigers on it back in December. They look too good on the board to take off and use so I ordered half a dozen of their sister lure the Brush Baby. I'm on the hunt for some 5' and 8' Tigers...

That wonderful fish funk is where my name comes from. My Mrs. complains about the fish smell. When we go to her parents of course I fish at their place too and so her steering wheel reeks and she meets me at the door of her parents with hand sanitizer. I say it's the smell of success baby!!!

Berkley Frenzy! What did I win? ?? Im hoping for a new bass boat!!!

Look on YouTube, Rick Clunn just posted a day ago a 11 min vid about the history of the Rico and Pop R. The channel name it's on is also called Rick Clunn

I'm gonna change it up a little from the usual as I have been a creek/River fisherman most of the 25 years I've angled. My go to lures would be... A.C. Shiner model 250 or 450 Rebel Crickethopper Bomber Long A Rapala Husky Jerk Soft plastics of crawdads and hellgramites for ned rigging. Zoom 6" lizards

I didnt even know you could get a twin arm new today. I have a few older ones that has come in yard sale tackleboxes and such. I think most of mine are Bomber brand. Bushwhacker if I was to guess. I might also have some Shannon's. Like said above I've never wet these or had the want to. I would fancy a new model though.

Any love for the Jackall? Lots of good suggestions I'll take those names to YouTube and do some research The Mattlures bluegill hook angle looks interesting, but thats a novice speaking My wife has just recently got use to lures costing $20-30, I don't want to see her reaction to a $60 YET!!!

Which bluegill swimbait gets the nod as a fish catcher under $30? I am currently looking at the 5" and 8" Jackall and a 4" Fish Lab hard gill What else should I be looking at? Thanks

I've been looking at the Strike King Sugar Buzz, has anybody here thrown one?

Here's a weird thing about the creeks I fish. I can take the 6" Zoom lizard in green pumpkin or watermelon red and catch lots of smallmouth. If I use the exact same lure and color in a 4" I struggle or only catch the skunk. The most interesting aspect is that if I matched the hatch in my waters it would have to be the lil salamander in the above posts so I would need the 4". It must be that the 6" produces a more enticing action?

No Sir, but I do suspicion you have ties with the bait monkey mafia!! What was your thoughts on the morning dawn color?

Happy Easter fellow bassers! How did I celebrate Easter? I made the bait monkey a big bowl of banana pudding and I ordered a Spro size 40 rat in morning dawn. I think I'll name it @A-Jay lol

How did the guys do after getting their chug bugs? The reason I ask is many times I've seen 2 guys fish the same water together and throwing the same lure (exact same lure, no mods) but only 1 guy catches all the fish!

Jerkbaits that is! Slow-sinking, suspending and floating types. I have these 3 types at hand. I rarely see the floating jerkbait mentioned in comparison to its slow sink and suspending brothers. Is anybody catching fish with the floating model? Sure we catch fish using it when steady retrieved or even twitched on the surface, but do you jerk the floating lure and pause letting it rise? Does it mimic a fleeing baitfish? We've seen thousands of shad and minnows rising through the water and jumping across the surface before. Have you noticed how your lure rises? Does it rise evenly, tail up, or head up? Or does that make a difference? There is floating rogues, the Rapalas, storms, rebels, bagley, seems like everybody has a floating minnow. Can they be rear weighted to rise head first like a fleeing baitfish? Do you only use them when water temps are warmed til a pause of more than a split second is only needed? Do you say the hell with them give me my Vision 110 and pointer? I would appreciate hearing what you think about floating Minnows/jerkbaits

That pic is my kinda art!! Love the chartreuse majority! That purple popper catches my eye the quickest (Good thing I'm not a bass). Lure maintenance is one my fav things to be doing too!

Fred Sanford said it best in regards to praying "it don't hurt none" I am in agreement to that for highly detailed paint jobs ?

What does your fav popper do different than other poppers? Any mods to your fav or stock? To to answer the op what few popper fish I have caught was on Rebel Pop-R. I love poppers have over 2 dozens makes and probably 30 Rebels but rarely use them

With strippers, the more money you spend the better your odds are...

I see why throwing big baits work!

I'll take a guess at id'ing them even though you didn't ask lol from bottom left going clockwise... L&S brand, Homer Leblanc swim whiz ( I see after posting), Nils Master and Beno just guessing can anyone positive id?

River2Sea S-Waver 168 in rainbow trout on the way! d**n you bait monkey!!! ?

Had a new experience with my Zman CrawZ today. I usually lose both lure and shroom head pretty often creek fishing but I know I've had today's lure on the hook and tied on for couple months. Today after reeling it in it was covered with little pieces of rock. After having to pull all the pieces of rock sediments off the lure I couldn't believe how sticky it had became. The only contact this lure has had was partially leaned against a painted wall and that must have done it. It still caught a nice Smallmouth today and survived the day to ride the creek waters another day... Just extra sticky

I'm in the same boat as you (pardon the terrible pun) but I just bought a Shimano Cardiff 400, put on 20 or 25 lb big game and for the time being have been using a Ugly Stick hvy catfish rod. I'm gonna go with the Diawa swimbait rod though in Xtra hvy. I bought some of the Savage Gear swimbaits about $10 each and they look good in the water. Also bought some 5.5" and 6.5" hollow bodies rigged on VMC belly weighted 7/0 they look great too! The S Waver is on my list and from what I see on YouTube is a bargain for around $18. We will have to get us a big Spro Rat and wake it to stay in the club here lol
