avid, ive gotten that picture all too well belive me. but in fact with the orginal float that works but what about the x rap? i just bought one i know about jerk,jerk pause but how do they work if ya toss it in, smoke a cig,then put a cig out then jerk it again the open a can of coke etc..?

how about the norman lures fatboy for 0 to 4 feet then the dd22 excaliber xw6 wakebait is pretty nice also

go to wal mart find the middle n by norman lures they have a chartruse or baby bass color which is called yearly bass

yup ive done this but i used a lake fork live magic shad and man did they slam em

awwww shoot!!!!!!!!!!!! now i gotta go to dicks for another 50 bucks in lures good thing im not married !!!! ;D a wife would kill ya for that lmao but dang it we love that bait monkey dont we?

in that case try out the norman lures middle n which dives 7- 9 ft look for the yearling bass.

speaking of wobble the live magic shad works year around ;D roadwarriors right about those rat l traps however. and the red eye shad is great also. im looking for some wide wobble cranks what should i get for the tennessee river/ pickwick lake or wilson dam?

i use watermelon with black flakes and chartruse tail, i also like the black worm with blue ribbon tail,then again the pumpkinseed with red flakes.

right now ive only got 2 lipless cranks i need more bad. ;D those 2 cranks are 1.strike kings red eye shad tennessee perch color 2. Bill Lewis rat l trap 1/4 oz mini trap which is a small mouth color

speaking of a good read i just got Bass madness by Ken schultz. i'll let you know my thoughts on it when i read it.

roadwarriors right he knows his stuff

try brass with those glass beads, this also is dynomite with tesas rigging as well. i usually use gamaskau 3's , 4's or 5's this should depend upon the size creature bait, worm ect... your using.

my panic box includes what mike said he put in his plus i added a tennessee red eyed shad,a few creature baits, as well as a few jigs which i know produce very well.

ive read his book which i checked out of my local liberary. he's done a fantastic job in explaining many differnt things in bass fishing. i loved what he wrote about his panic box lol . i now have my own panic box so when i get this look im all set to go

well burning a curly tail worm works pretty good also using as a floating,buckshot sinker or slip sinker. just do the oppisite of slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww which is go as fast as you can this produces alot of strikes for me

ok count me in i'll take my 12 year old daughter if i can get her to go she usually refuses and says she's a die hard animal lover. since when did bass become animals i thought thery were a fish.

Those pics of the kids are so cool islandbass. that rocks in my book.

thanks for the reply im not a Bass member however i am a member of the north american fishing club

try using a small blue fox spinner bait on an ultra light pole with 6 lb test this seams ro work for me when it comes to bream

ive caught bass as shallow as 2 feet deep for extreme shallow water i like using the worm or lizard weightless however thats been a bigger producer for me, however i feel the c rig works best in deeper water.

yes you can use the c rig off the bank as a matter of fact i have many , times done so

well i went looking for bass at ditto landing in Huntsville,alabama i did catch 2 stripped bass but they were dinks plus i caught 2 dinky bluegils , however i switched to ultra light tackle i started using a spinner the catch improved big time but no bass what i caught were as follows 5 keeper sized bluegills, one 8 lb flat head channel catfish, and one 4 lb channel cat. all this was right off a peir to which was nice. i threw the dinks back so as to give them time to grow but kept the bream and cats.

well as ive taken to saying ole red eye will do it for ya. its a fantastic lure with great casting its not your daddys ole wimpy light weight lure thats for sure it has a nice tight wiggle great for bouncing off whatever you can this lure is my go to lipless crank for when i want to do a search pattern. i feel its very well worth the price.

well im not sure about the less knowledgeable boater comment however theres several things you can do. you can discuss stratagy with the boater so that you both can have a chance to catch good fish,change up your lures keep buzzbaits,spinner baits,lipped cranks and lipless cranks handy,also keep jigs and tubes, also dont forget the texas rigging and carolina rigging which can be used effectively in soooo many diffent ways,also keep plenty of swim baits handy to match the hatch. this way if your boater isnt catching them you will, fish whatever structure you can this means rocks,bouys,walls,weeds,trees,docks ect..... get smart think like a bass look for shady area's within the cover theres so many variables much too many to list. ive fished 30 years or so so i iknow abit and you know what im still learning.

on my next trip out i'll let you know the differnce in what i see in the walmart dollar baits and my strike king, and booyah baits.
