why some baits dont work on all waters
It might not work because the bait is not putting out enough vibrations, try a double colorado blade spinnerbait with natural colors.

Map reading How do you approach
I fish natural lakes so ours might be easier to read than a resevoirs. On my Big fishing adventures with my 2 buddies when we hit the big lakes it is my job to do the map reading. First i want to think of the seasons: pre-spawn, spawn, postspawn etc. Then i pick out the most obvious places for them to be such as secondary points, spawning flats. Then i try and find the small isolated spots that other anglers miss. sometimes it could be right next door to the obvious spots In those spots i look first for irregular contour lines then weeds and finally visible cover. Bass in my hometown lakes are usually in the weeds. Remember this FOOD+OXYGEN+COVER=BASS ;D

The faithful and true
Spinnerbaits and creature baits. I think the creature baits scare the small fish so the big fish try to couragess and kill the creature bait. LOL

Everstart Batteries are good, also if you have a local NAPA or a auto parts store they usually have good quality batteries.

Eating fish (fresh or salt)
I think saltwater fish are more tasty and hearty while feshwater fish are good for a small quick meal. I eat freshwater trout but i only have about one serving of saltwater fish a month.

Ok, serious question
I had a huge very informational post on this but when i tried to bold the letters i erased it all. But here it is in a nutshell. Compressional waves: can be heard, felt but not seen, they compress the media they travel through in distinct patterns where some waves are compressed and some are spread out. Humans hear this through the constantly vibrating eardrum and other vibrating instruments in the ear. Transverse waves: can only be seen, They are one wave with the same pattern all the way through, They are either reflected or absorbed. The sonar wave is a transverse wave which is invisible and it gets reflected. But it does not displace any media or material in which it travels through which means it it can not be felt by a bass's lateral line and also cannot be heard or felt by any living being. This states with simple science that a bass cannot hear or feel a sonar wave which in return means that it cannot spook the fish. thank you

Pouring you own plastics?
I went to a show and bought some cheap homemade baits for $0.99 a bag and melted them together with 2 spoons and a lighter it totally worked but looked a little messy. i made a creature bait by melting ribbontail worms tail and melting 4 of them to a crawdad. it looked hilarious.

Poor Man's boat - best choice?
Get a basshunter boat from bass pro shops. they are $300 to $400 and are 9 to 10 feet long. they are really stable and seat 2people and gear.

Does it upset you?
That realy gets me mad when people do that > unless its like 2 or 3 dinks becuase we have too many smaller fish in our local lakes. one time i saw this guy take home a couple of 3 pounders and i was ticked for the rest of the day and didnt get a single bite.

Bass Wars Book
I just got done reading Bass Wars by Nick Taylor and it was a great book. It featured the life of Bass pros Rick clunn, Randy blaukat, Randy moseley and danny corriea. Not to say almost all the greatest anglers were in it. It wass written in 1988 so the bait that were new are now old timers. Back then clunn fished with a prototype Skirt on his spinnerbait it was a translucent skirt newly developed and being tested. today its the normal. It is great to read books about the good ol boys back in the days. If anybody wants one it is on amazon.com If anybody knows of any other good bass books post em here.

Is there any way i can do this?
Change the hooks to red hooks that are a good brand then use pliers and bend the rond piece of metal that comes out of the bait that you tie you knot on bend it little by little until it runs true if it didnt already.
