What's up with my lake?
Catch and release everything and you get stunted fish . There's a reason the game commission has size regulations on lakes . Conservation methods are aimed at a certain population of fish being removed to avoid overcrowding and risk of disease that goes along with that .

What ruins a fishing trip for you more than anything?
Trailer lights . You never know when there will be issues.

Hunting or Fishing?
Hunting would be my choice . There is something about being in the woods that makes you use your senses of sight , smell , hearing , to the max unlike any other sport . Failure to do any of the above could result in a ruined hunt or much worse . Fishing is a blast but hunting has a higher chance of encountering unexpected surprises both good and bad . These make for moments that you never forget .

When stuff isn’t working
Try your best to land some fish . A good bass angler knows that there are feeding times , and there are factors that also diminish bite opportunity. Know when to walk away .

What Do Members Use Or Maybe Not Use?
I use a variety of different commercial scents . What appears to me to be the most effective.....the oil left in a sardine can . Nothing you buy will come anywhere close .

Braid with leader no more
I use a leader . I feel that a leader will act as a shock absorber .This preventing the hook from tearing off the flesh not because of it's lack of visibility.

You're stuck on an island, only one lure to take
Spinner bait , or beetle spin .

How do you pass the time when fish aren't biting?
When the fish aren't biting , open the cooler and grab a sandwich , or a drink and think to myself , " Well genius , what do we do now? "

Fishing after rotator cuff surgery
No surgery but injuries . As I age it seems no matter how much I baby it , the shoulder will ache when I fish , but not during normal everyday activities. I do suspect though , that having a pull start motor is probably the culprit and not only the casting .

Help the new guy out. Lures getting stuck on stuff
It happened to often to me , so I bought lure savers that slide down the fishing line and free the lure and also the long handled saver that's used for Alabama rigs . Side note : ever since I purchased those I have not needed them . Lol

Need Serious Help
This might sound ridiculous but hear me out . Take a moment to wash your hands really well , before you touch your lure . Everyone is different , and each person's habits differ and might effect your hands . Things like smoking , handling chemicals, and other things might be contaminating or leaving scent on your presentation . Hope this solves your problem .

You can't teach courage. You can't teach heart. Etc.
I was just telling my wife that bass fishing is not like any other type fishing I've done . It's seems amazing to me that almost every single outing is unique in that what worked so well for a day or two , it seems will never ever catch another fish from day three on . Expect to do something totally different , in order to have a successful outing . This is challenging and is what makes it so satisfying when we have a great day bass fishing . Places like Bass Resource provide hours of entertainment and knowledge that help make fishing so much fun .

Cranking your outboard before heading to the lake
Yes , always . Makes life easier . I also grease the bearings a lot more often than most .

WHEW.....
There are some reports that researchers suspect there may be a link between the use of anti perspirants and alzheimer's. You have to be careful .

One that I like is the movie , " Triangle " .

Retrieve Pole
25 foot of water...I have lost them a lot shallower and never got them back , but maybe a snag hook like they use for catching mullet might be your best bet ..good luck .

Has anyone else got wet to save a lure?
Not a lure but a cork . When I was 15 my father lent me his favorite , to him lucky cork . Along with the cork these words of wisdom. ..." Don't lose it " you know the rest of the story...line snaps ,cork floats away at max speed . My cousin and I swim untill we were exhausted . Got home With the cork . Dad hears story and says , " I was only kidding you , that's not a lucky cork "
