wagn

First time out for the year. Found a little pond, bixby pond, that was free from ice. Spent a couple of hours fishing from the shore near the dam. Only had one bite on a chrome and blue rattle trap. Sure feels good to be casting again. Anyone else been able to to get out on the water yet?

On KVD's spinnerbait tactics video he says he only uses a trailer in muddy water and when he does he often uses a grub with the tail alsways hanging down.

I'm going to do my best to get there. Not going to be a short trip from NH. This will be my first one so I can't wait

I can't believe it's still snowing. 3 inches at my house and counting

that youtube video of the remote controlle boat was awesome. It was like a mini jaws trying to pull the boat under.

Cavitron is a great buzzbait. It's on par with any other one that i have used and also has it's own unique sound which gives me more variety when night fishing

Once the weather warms up there is no place nicer to be. But the winters kill me. I've been trying to convince my wife to move farther south, but no luck so far.

It's the best deal in tackle bags in my opinion.

single colorodo blade, the bigger the better

i prefer the diawa grips the most

And a over the counter warrenty.. ;D BTW my local dicks has them on sale for 24 bucks At that price i'm going to have to head down to dick's and see if my store has the same sales. I'm looking for another beater rod to leave at my dad's cabin

having fished both, between the convergence and lightning rods. I would choose the convergence. It has better sensitivity in my opinion.

Here are my little bass options. The float tube for long hikes to small lakes. An electric only lake boat. And my tracker w/ a 25 hp.

The Fishin fever has gotten so bad that i've been tying large hookless rubber worms and been practicing flippin and pitchin them at my 7 month old son. He loves trying to grab them on the carpet

I also just came back from a trip to Bass Pro shops. Man that store is nice to have within driving distance. Got a lot of cool little things that you can't get in the stores around here. Plus i like to hold and look at something before i buy it. I've never been a big fan of internet shopping. Overall a pretty good day. I got to go to BPS and then had to go to IKEA for the wife. ;D

Yakfish....the senko's, ikas, and jigs should work well. I'd also try some type of small jerk bait, like a husky jerk. In jerk baits and crank baits i've been getting hits on perch patterns pretty consistantly. hope this helps

i agree with starting as a non-boater. You can find out if you really want to fish tourneys that way, without putting up alot of capitol. I thought i would enjoy fishing tourneys, so i started as a non-boater. After a few tourneys i decided it wasn't for me. So i went out and bought a boat that fit my fishing needs and not one that would be great for tournament fishing. I saved myself alot of money by doing this, and also was able to learn about what fishing really means to me....a chance to relax

awesome fish jay

it's already been stated, but a jt paintball mask with fogless lenses will cost you less and do the same thing. And you can just get them at most walmarts

I use this bait in black or white for night fishing during the summer. I have caught some good bass on this bait

By far the best bag i've seen for the price. awesome deal for the size

i thought i was the only one who golfed like that

Had the same problem today. Only went out for a couple of hours but all i caught was one small bass and a yellow perch. The water was 71 degrees and the day was really warm. I would have figured that the bass would have been up shallow. Guess i was wrong. There's always next time

Thanks for the info Brad. Do they have a similiar action to a balsa popper, or is it something different because they are plastic?

could be location as well. I'm up northeast in new hampshire and the places i've been most consistantly hitting fish on are points. The fish have been real shallow, but almost always on some type of point. I've also had to slow down my presentation a little. just letting a senko sit for an extra 10 seconds seems to be helping
