i'd definitley fish the shallower one. i really dont like big deep ponds. i find that they are harder to locate and find fish. plus i like fishing ample vegetation

i emailed you my pic a while ago.

i dont get it.... :-?

ooook thanks! i really like EWG's then. cuz i had some eagle claws that werent EWG's and i had a problem w/ them: they wouldnt remain weedless when texposed. if you look closely at an EWG the hook point lays in a flat line w/ the eye, maybe just a little higher, but on a regular gap'd hook the hook point sticks up, and is hard to texpose with.

another lure on my sh!t list is the jig. i try to fish them as much as i can and i do want to catch fish w/ them but they never produce, and always end up getting covered in bottom slime . ive only caught 3 total fish off a jig.

hey im up for that...senkos are my go to lure!!! i'll shoot ya a PM if you are serious.

SPINNERBAITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JEEZ I HATE THEM THINGS!!!! I COULDNT GET A BITE OFF ONE IF I WAS USING A MILLION DOLLAR BILL AS A TRAILER i jus cant figure out all the hype about em. other than spinnerbaits, practically anything topwater (excluding jitterbugs...my fav.) i cant get a bite on buzzbaits, hollow bodied frogs, walkers, poppers, nothin. thats good, im glad im not the only one who doesnt like spinnerbaits. :

im usin gammy 2/0 ewg's. whast the ewg mean anyway? is that what that little bend behind the eye is? i suppose i'll just burry the eye further in the worm...i dont think it was in deep enough.

yeah that might work or you could try topwater. night time is my fav. time for topwater. i really like jitterbugs because they have the same sound as a slow rolled buzzbait, but they float so you can pause and twitch them. fish topwater around visible structure.

i while ago i had a bag of 3x zeros. then i went to walmart and there were none. instead there were just plain strike king zeros, but they said elaztech on them. they are just as durable so i picked up two bags at 2.92 each. elaztech also makes the chatterbait brand trailers. i fished these zeros texposed and one problem i found is that the head would slide down the hook with even the slightest jerk. it became annoying so i went to my gycb's. anyone know why this is happening? how can i fix it? superglue?

ive got a couple of the $1 spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. the spinnerbaits are fine but my buzzbait fell apart becore i could even fish it. the o-ring was dry rotted and the skirt came apart. maybe i just got a bad one but if you can find a "nice" one, then buy them...i would!

sam couldnt have put it better. thats about all you need to know for senkos. my go to colors are natural shad, red shad, and water melon. also...(im sure some will disagree) but dont be afraid to buy senko style baits that arent the real GYCB Senko. they work just as great and can be alot cheaper.

ive got two chatterbaits, one is black/blue the other white/red and ive thrown each out a few times w/ absolutely no success...i still havent fished them enough to get a conclusion on them...

hmmm i wouldnt reccoment using a senko for a dragonfly imitation...maybe try some floating worms and just cut them up to shape and add the wings like you said.

yea that club is official and im a member. i dont have a pic of my card, but it look just like the one posted above. and yea they'll send you those books at first, but w/ the very first one you can choose to stay in the book club or choose for them to never send you book again. i chose not to be in teh book thing and ive nver had problems since.

i caught a dinky bass...when i got the hook out i decided to see if it would eat a pebble. so i put one in its gullet and nothing happened. so i poked the pebble and he took the pebble down and my finger w/ it!!! cuz they have these pads just infront of their gullet on the top and bottom that are hard and ahve velcro teeth just like the jaws. i wouldnt say it hurt but it was uncomfortable~~~ :-?

7lbs on a floating rapala bleeding pearl color.

my fav. senko style bait out there is the 3xzero. ya gotta texpose w/ these bad boys tho...i cant manage to get a hookset on ANYTHING if i dont texpose.

buy a couple packs ah worm hooks, a couple bags of senkos, learn how to texpose, and go out and catch a bass!!!

if you could obtain a fly tying kit and some materials you could easily learn how to tie flies and then trade them for lures or sell them for money to buy lures.....thats what i do.

big fish....not the record.....that 25lber (even tho it wasnt technically the record...its still the biggest one caught) was bigger than that fish in the vid.....sucks balls he didnt land it though :-/

yea renegade is the walmart brand. ive never bought them but i eye them everytime i go there. i have nothing against them...its just i keep saying...i have enuff hardbaits....maybe i'll pick up a few next time i go!

JITTERBUG!!! sounds just like a 3wing buzzbait fished so slowly it barely stays up.....except i can pause the jitterbug and twitch it w/o having to worry about it sinkng

wow im SHOCKED that only one person has said senko or knockoff. senko/knockoff is my fav. bait

i think this would be relevant but if not ill make a new thread about it: what makes a florida strain and a northeren strain??? how come they are different and why are they different!?!?!?! are they totally different species? could you tell a difference just from looking at them (excluding the size)?
