Oops.?

Horizontal jigging. I did a seminar in 1974 on this topic and wrote a In-Fisherman Article on this topic, the “Cosmic Clock and Bass Behavior”. 

During the 80’s to 90’s using the Horizontal jigging presentation caught hundreds DD size LMB including the 5 listed....all on jigs. If this doesn’t qualify what does?

Finding baits other people have lost

Hello. Today I'm going to expound on "HOW NOT TO CATCH FISH ON GLIDEBAITS". 

The proper storage and maintenance of binoculars.

why if you get skunked, you have no right to buy fish at the store, or at that great cafe down the block, or fish and chips on the way home.....or anything that will please and delight you, food-wise ....  --- why you should wallow in being skunked... it builds character and moral strength.

 

personally, i always failed that. i'd be hightailing it to my favorite fish taco place whenever i got skunked.... oh man, those were good.... their fish and chips were darn good too......... oh man.... like, perfection.

Shoving extra hooks in packs at wally world in the 90s. Stupid. I was a teenager. The worst crime I ever committed, yet never caught.

Now that’s one I’d pay for.

OOHHH YEAH!!! I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I'm pretty good at this also. One of my favorite ways to catch'em, and maybe the single best way to catch bigguns in the summer.

 I'll add a 1/2 or 5/8 oz chatterbait to the short list of baits, depending on depth. Not just any CB though. I make my own using the turbo blades from Barlow's or LPO. They start up instantly with a slow turn of the handle, crawl through rock better than any football jig, and just flat out catch'em.

 

Edit to add the bladed jig in question. Powder coated turbo blade, Do-It sparkie jig cast with an underspin wire form for the eye, Gamakatsu 484 straight shank worm hook, either 4/0 or 5/0. Fastest, easiest startup of any I've ever used. At night on structure, I either give a few turns of the reel and let it fall back to the bottom on a tight line or just crawl it along slow and steady with the blade thumping slow enough to count the thumps. I always move it with the reel. They usually CRUSH it, but they won't hold it long. It pays to always be in position to set the hook.
