for me nothin beats slammin the hook home on a nice fat bass!!!!

which would be a better lure? which would you get? thanks guys!

just had a chance to use the parasite weights today and they are great! its sooooo convinient to have it peg your weight and NEVER have to worry about your worm fouling on the hook!!!! very pleased

how are these baits? trying to fill up a cart for *** and im having some trouble. :-/

im a sucker for free shipping so i think im gonna do it, hope the cranks are good, but mainly order for shipping.

GOT EM'!!!

seems to me like this thing wouldnt go so smoothly over matted grass? seems like alot of weeds would still get caught on the hook. i must be wrong, seems like the most popular way of fishing them. i will have to try that sometime. all of the silver minnows i've had have very dull hooks. i use a dremel tool to sharpen them.

that is one massive awesome cold water fish!!!! way to go on taht baby! good job guys! (one dink is much better than cabin fever ;D)

i would try to spend equal amounts on both, but if one had to be higher it would be the rod. because the imo the rod is much more "involved" than the reel.

i just picked up a nickel one at BPS a few days ago. they are pretty effective. most times i just swim em. sometimes i will let em fall to the bottom and rip em up like a dying shad.

sweet thanks for taht link. my only question, if my boat is sitting still, will the chart still be scrolling? will is scroll what it sees in the cone and then repeat that view over and over?

same exact thing happend to me. ;D

my dad and i split the cost on an Eagle Cuda 168 for our jonboat. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&partNumber=45175&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=SearchResults thats the one. its nothing special, pretty bottom line, but thats all we need to fish in the jon boat at the small lakes we fish. we are so excited to use it so we can go to deeper water and locate structure and target bigger fish instead of casting along shoreline and catching smaller fish!!!! its gonna be so cool! ;D but im such a nooob. i cant really understand the display. i know what fish and baitfish and all looks like (arches/clouds of clutter) and i could probably identify cover (maybe) but im not so good at reading the bottom. could someone give me a tutorial on how exactly to read the screen and interpret it? thanks guys! i know youre gonna be a big help! ;D

Lake Jameson: medium sized lake (one of the biggest i fish) it is my favorite lake though. i havent pulled anything too big out of it yet, with the exception of my 2nd best (4lb) fish. most of the time i catch around 7 or 8 smaller bass. its still a very fun time. the lake has a shoreline of lily pads and laydowns that extend probably 10' out fromthe shore around the whole lake (northern end is usually totally covered with lilies). pretty deep in the middle/mainlake....not sure how deep, but will find out with my new fish finder! ;D a few "on-site" pics:

not sure if you know of it but the tackle shop was called "The Tackle Box" and im not positive that the scale went up to 50lbs. im pretty sure it was 50 though, might have been 60. but i am positive that the fish maxed out the scale

wow what an amazing fish!!! thats really great. i think since its held way out it looks much bigger than 8-7. but jeez if i caught a fish that big i'd be showin it off too! but it does look bigger than 8-7 even it its not held out. looks huge! very huge head and plenty fat! ;D

they were one of the few things at the top of my BPS list. when i went i got a pack of the clips and a pack of the bullet weights with clips attached. im really excited to try them out.

;D good one!

this river2sea bait http://www.river2seausa.com/t/dragonflypopper.html looks cool but they are expensive and from what ive read not durable. so i took it upon myself to make a cheap, quick, durable version of it. what i came up with: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f120/davidsaavedra/Flies/drago.jpg havent tested the action on the lip yet, but it floats and is very durable. excited to see how it works.

yeah i wanted a rapala DT-FAT03 and a DT-Flat03. also gotta get some clear planos cuz im running out of storage, they are usually always on sale for 2 or 3 dollars there. other than that i just wanna buy whatever looks good as im walking down the aisles.

OMG!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D funniest thing ive seen in a very long time!!!! i think i laughed the hardest when the old dude crushed the bubble wrap with the phone...even though that wasnt a "real" clip (looked like it was professional) it was funny as hell!!! all i could think of was the movie office space too!

yeah this is one of the biggest ive seen. the Chesapeake is known for its monsters. striper are by far the best fish to eat IMO. i tried largemouth bass once and found that they tasted quite similar to striper. very good, both of them.

i'll be going to bass pro shops tomorrow. any last minute must haves i should know about?

looks very strange never seen anything like it before. :-?
