I like to use crankbaits on offshore structure, i live in WA and we get plenty of cold fronts.

I have fished in a brand new bass tracker 185 and it is a really good boat for the money.

I bought basic fishing pliers for $5 at Wal-Mart and they are good pliers.

I live in Washington and it would take me more than a day to drive to Las Vegas one, I have been to the one in Nashville while on vacation and next year me are going to table rock and will visit the BPS headquarters in springfield. But to get to my favorite stores it takes 10 min. to Wal-Mart/ 15 min. All Marine/ 40 min. to SPORTCO/ 1 hour to Outdoor emporium.

It is pretty basic rule that i go by and many pros do to, at least to what i have heard. When water drops fish move offshore and in rising they go into new shallow cover. Hope this helps.

What i know that helps is do not think about anything but the fish and your bait, have confidence in what you are doing and visualize yourself hooking a fish,also imagine underwater what it looks like and how the fish is hitting the bait. This helps me alot on tough days an in tournaments, It actually helps me catch fish. As for baits got to go with a reaction bait: crank, spinnerbait,buzzbait, jerkbait. Or if you prefer just fish what you like the most, the bait that you have tried and true confidence bait. it really works. Good Luck

Welcome to the board. You will find everything you need here.

I know they make aarators that have a suction cups so the sit on the bottom of you livewell and have a tube that goes out the top that sprays water and it can aerate a pro bass boat livewell.

I have a 12 footer and i have a minn kota all terrain 40 lbs. thrust and it is great, on high it goes fast, on low you can go as slow as you want, Get a 12 volt.

Slow roll a spinnerbait, also a carolina rig, if that oes not work use a spoon.

In my club you have to be 11 or older and you do not have to have a boat. In a club you learn alot of stuff and make great friends and fishing buddies and you get to fish tourny. In most clubs it costs $

I like slow rolling a colorado spinnerbait deep. Also like nick said, the finesse worms are good.

Luckily we dont have any type of tornados in washington, Maybe hale from a big cold front and a every once in a while t-storm.

REB gave you some good info, this site has everything.

Fish them anyway. they are the most versitable bait in bass fishing

A baot lets you explore more areas.

I caught a bass 3 times of the same dock, i threw a crankbait in there threee imes in a row and out came the same bass, he must have been hungry.

This year i am going to start fishing off shore, now that i have a fishfinder, all i have to worry about is the darn boat traffic.

my mom drives a kia sportage to pull my 12 foot bass boat, my dad drives a 96 blazer to pull his 17 footer.

Also there is this...... http://www.inlandempirebassclub.com/ I went to the federation page and looked it up. they are right in spokane. Good luck.

I wish i could fish the bass machine areas were you guyss are, but i am in Washington and fish Long Lake most often. It is 390 acres and its deepest is twenty feet, average of 8 feet and it has lots of vegitation and plenty of docks. and a little bit of wood cover, water clarity in spring is clear/stained (3 ft.) summer it becomes stained and it stays stained until fall. I just love that lake, for some reason i do not know why.

vexilar makes a depth and thermometer for bank fisherman, it is seven dollars and it can attach to your line ot you can just set it in the water for 20 seconds and it gives you a good reading.

A long texas rigged worm, 10 inches or better.

I like fishing long secondary points with a carolina rig. I do not fish points to often but a carolina rig is a good choice.

Colorado blades=muddy/stained Willow=clear/light stained That is just a little starter rule that i usually use.
