gonna be fishing a fairly large pond. the water temp is still chilly and the clarity is so so.... a little murky. i'm in griffin georgia. unfortunently i'm stuck with 2 old zapco spinning reels. i need some tips on what tackle to use. i am a top water guru... i know that want work this time of the year. the biggest bass i ever caught was during the daytona race about 5 years ago. it was cold and raining all day. i slow rolled a terminator(all white) dual willow leaf for about half an hour... then bam!!!!!

p.s. this forum rocks!!!!

Welcome to BR, Magnum!! It is the BEST bass fishing forum on the Net, IMO:o) I've been fishing Senkos and jigs w/4" tubes real slow so far this year and have had fair success. I'm experimenting with Fat Ikas as per RW's recommendation and I know I'm only one cast away from landing a lunker on one!!! Drop shot rigs with 5" Senkos wacky rigged are producing well here in So CA too. I might try some of that tomorrow. I also want to start throwing top water frogs and Hula Poppers into the tullies early AM.

Again, WELCOME to BR!!!

RW...u r da man.  You gave my welcome aboard a year or 2 ago.  Great thread you linked to.

Second the welcome aboard.  One little piece of advice.  If you can, save up some money and go get you a new combo.  Fishing is fun but fishing with good equipment is fun-ner.  Plus if you had a new combo, you'd be fishin more too which is a good deal......

WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very good deals on the for sale board.  Just deal with someone with a high post count ..... until you get to know folks.

Welcome!!

Yes, welcome. There are some really nice people here that got me on the right tracks (including glenn! Thanks Glenn.) I would recomend some tpye of shiny spinner. Get a color not realated to fish. (because your fishing in murky water)

Welcome

Welcome
