I always want a long sleep before as a tourney, never get it because i am thinking all night about fishing tomorrow.

It Looks OK, But as other people said, look out for a wood transom and rotting. Also test all their is to be tested and offer him $4000 or less if you are going to buy it. Even in washington, you can get a early 90's Skeeter or Ranger for $5500

There is KGM Custom Baits, Its owned and ran by only one person. Makes them in his garage and makes excellent products, Plus you cancustomize how soft or ard you want your plasticswww.kgmcustombaits.com

I cant afford $200 Sunglasses but $20 SolarBat Sunglasses at Wal-Mart are great, I like Amber Lenses. I go through about 2 pair a season, But with KU's facts i am thinking abou getting some better ones.

This Year i Have learned ow to smallie fish, Also i Forced myself to fish a jig straight out a whole week and have taught myself how to fish it effectivilly, I have learned to slow down my fishing an how to dissect a lake, and docks. This forum was a big helpin all of it. Thanks Guys

First and current boat: 1987 Harbercraft 12 foot wide v hull/ Converted to bass boat with casting decks, Storage, Bow mount Minn-Kota, Fishifinder, and a 2001 Tohatsu 5 Horse

Top 6: Aaron Martens (Favorite angler) Rick Clunn ( so Precise and could learn alot) Gerald swindle (Like me, A motormouth and funny) Denny Brauer (Fishes Like Me) Ike (Gets excited like me) Greg Hackney (Could teach me how to start in the bass fishing business) Honarable Mention: KVD (Good All Around)

1. I Love pitching a drop shot rig, i was pitching a drop shot into brush, in muddy water, in 3 feet and using a 7 brush hog on a 4/0 Hook on 15 pound test and hooked into a 3 pounder. 2. It does equally as well on both. 3.heck yes, You can even use a 12 inch worm if you want 4. 1/4 to 1/2 oz.

Try a skinnybear bass jig, its based in california, ITs smaller than an eakins jig and i have used them for smallies and had good fortune, never tried them for largies but i have seen pics of the fish they catch on these jigs, I use smelly jelly or BANG Scent on my lures

Try Drop-Shotting a Creature bait. preferably a big one. You can also swim the drop shot past em

How do you measure the pitch on a prop?

The BPS DVD's are great, i have all the ones from kvd and woo daves

Try deadsticking a jig or senko for 15 seconds or more in the thickest deepest cover and shade there is, also as will said, Green healthy weeds are sign of good oxygen content.

I am a paperboy and my mom is a teacher so i can go fishing all summer and on all vacatons and weekends and after school, Thank God for my mother or else i would never be able to fish

strike king McCoy or stren or trilene

jig Merc Verado or Evinrude E-tec

I use a 4/0 ewg gammy, with anywhere to 1/4-1/2 sinker depending thickness of cover. Clearwater tackle co. make great smaller tube, while i buy strike king tubes for flippin heavy cover, also bps makes good flippin tubes, set the hook as hard as you can with tubes.

southwest WA: Jigs, Buzzbait, rat-l trap past milfoil towers. Also Senkos work OK

it comes with the territory ;D I too deal with this obsession.

www.boattest.com has reviews on many boats and has all the stats from the motor and how fast it will go with full tournament gear, gallons per hour and all of the statistics, plus video if you have a good internet acces.

Playmaker, I also did atleast 3 papers on bass fishing throughout the year, luckily my teachers husband, my PE teacher, hunts and is a salmon fisherman, So she sorta understood where i am coming from. Last Summer i took washington state history to get an extra high school credit for when i am a freshmen, i had to take it in middle school this year, since i knew everything and only needed to pass because it did not count towards HS at all. I sat and read bassmaster and a bunch of other magazines the whole time for the year and still got an A. I Love Harry N Charlie!!!! I even had a crankbait as a handle for a couple zippers on my backpack

competitive angling: 1# Clunn 2# Denny Brauer (Before Back Injury) 3# Mark Davis (amazing ability to find fish on new water Overall: Linder Brothers

I would literally get smoked, i have my spots but i still think i owuld get wupped, just because of my inexperience as i have not been fishing for 25 years like they have. But i would have a better chance than most people because, its harder to fish in the east and then suddenly fish a northwestern lake, its alot different than the south. oh well, overall i would get wupped.

when you try and get your teacher to let you give a book report on the latest bassmaster magazine. when you sit in class practicing your jig fishing technique and you finally get out of your trance and everybody is lookin at you. When you spend your free time at school on bassresource.com when the teacher wont let you tel the class what you did this weekend because everybody knows you went fishing.

Jig and Pig, Also flippin tiny creature baits with a big weight to punch through really heavy cover. Also like Wabassin said, reaction baits like suspending hardbaits.
