yeah i was thinking of doing that exact thing! so that way it looks like the bluegill is eating the eggs. wouldnt the bait lay on its side when it rests in the bed though? bass probably wouldnt care...theyre all hormonal and what not ;D ;D

pads i fish are pretty thick: i dont know. it all depends on how much money i can get out of my sister (she's paying, im taking her biology course). hopefully i can get her to give me $50 so she doesnt have to pay for shipping too ;D

im not trying to support the company or pressure you or anything, but they are only like 3 or 4 dollars for a 3 pack. i think they are worth just trying, who knows, maybe they will slay the stripers and you'll have the best lure, or they could suck horribly and your in the hole 4 dollars, which isnt that much of a set back. just something to think about. :-/

nothin wrong with stickin to what works ;D

lmao!!!

this bait (in "black shad" color) looks like it would be just awesome to fish over bass beds in the spring or along open shoreline in the summer! i think im gonna get one. what do you guys think? http://www.***.com/descpageBAGHARD-BBF.html#

never fished em but i got a few in a freebie pack from *** and i plan on using them with a parasite bullet weight and just fishing em like a worm/jig.

they have em in 6 5/16" size. http://www.***.com/descpageSWIMRIVER-R2SVM.html only difference is this one dives, its not a wake bait like the smaller ones. ;D but i was thinking the same thign about the lipless/lipped. cuz i was thinking if i was fishing over mats of crap them the lip would just cause resitance and take away from the action. and i dont think that i would throw the frog in open water much. maybe i'll go with lipless.

i go thru slumps so much its not even funny. it all really depends on the situation. if im fishing with my dad i usually just stop concentrating so hard on fishing and have a fun time with him and laugh alot. if im at the park, i'll usually just grab and ultralite and mess with the bluegills for a good while and then shoot for bass again. if im at the farm, then the case is most likely ive fished out the pond (very small pond) so i'll go to the other pond which is always more aggressive, and fish that one for a good while, then i'll go back to the first one and it will have recovered and the fishing will be better. if nothing is working, a F-11 seems to squeak out a few fish everytime. and generally, no matter where i am, i will just chill and fish as slow as possible, i'll find a place to sit, and i'll just dead stick a trick stick or crawl a 7-10 inch ribbon tail worm back. this gives me time to think, and it is often quite productive. just a few of my strategies. probably the one that works the best is just to chill out and stop trying so hard and just have fun and laugh. cuz even though the fishing sucks at least im having a good time! ;D

its a real low quality pic but i'd have to say its real. doesnt look like anything too enormously huge, but it is no doubt a huge fish!

well my dads friend (the one who's brother-in-law is pictured on the first post) just got back from a charterboat trip near virginia beach and 6 people each caught 2 stripers each, every single one was over 40" !!!! they had to buy extra coolers to bring the filets home!!!! ;D

ok i gotcha. so youre saying you dont think something that looks like a craw will do better than something that looks like something that looks like a craw will. lol. if you can understand that then you get a gold star! lol. ;D

or i could go with getting another one of these instead of a frog.

lol i wish! ....no just one

which would be a better frog to get? im sure they each have their different applications, but which do you think would be a better one? river2sea bully wa or river2sea crawlin' croaker? thanks guys!

i fish with quality baits at a great price. i fish rapalas, bomber, and bandits

what do you mean by that? isnt a plastic craw the same thing as a soft plastic craw imitator??? :-?

well i know that one is a popper and one is a walker, i just wasnt sure which one i wanted and i wanted to know which is a better lure in general, not compared to each other. like, which lure preforms best. ya know what im sayin?

dont know if you'd call it quality, but storm has a peanut bunker here

well i voted guitar hero 3 because out of the list thats the only one ive ever played. im a big fan of the Manhunt series. (not in a creepy way, i just like all the suspense involved!)

t-rig ive had alot of good success with taht kickin minnow that you posted a pic of. i meant to get more at BPS but i forgot. thats the only storm thing ive had success with though. i wasnt trying to bash anybody with this thread or anything, i honestly just wanted to know reasons why everybody doesnt like em. now i know a few. my only complaint is that the kickin minnows dont hold up to very many fish.

bubble popper is almost an exact copy of the megabass pop-x (<--- i think thats the name of it :-/)

why do a lot of people seem to have a problem with storm wild eye swim shads? i think these look pretty darn good (i like the baby bass color)

15lb mushroom does the trick on my 12' jon

yeah im sorry i forgot to add which river2sea in the title. i was reffering to the river to sea bubble popper. my mistake! :-[ but thanks for the info on the spro! that was very helpful. ;D
