was at a local lake caught a few tiny bass on an inline spinner then a dink then switched to a weight less senko nada tied on a 99cent wal-mart spinnerbait and wham knew it was a good one after what seemed like an hour and 3 good runs i landed this baby

Hey everyone! I'm cullen, I'm 15, and I have been bassing for 3 years now. I've got one good rod and I sure know how to use it! (Berkley Lighting rod and a daiwa something baitcaster) I don't live around many good lakes but I've got 10 minute drive access to a private pond that the owner let's people fish in. Its fullof hawgs and I have caught an 8 pounder out of there! Its about half the size of a soccer field. I also fish in a branch of the potomac a good bit, which has some nice bass. (1-3 pounds).

I picked up these !0 inch culprit saw tailed worms .. In chili pepper.. havnt had much luck what type of water do you guys like throwing them in if you ever fished them.

your profile pic is of your 8 pounder i see. Wish i was able to get the picture of my PB.

I also have the FTO box, love it. Best thing since iced tea. Hootie PS. I don't mean the Law & Order guy either.

Me thinks Gsp is going to have a tough time with condit before theres anytalk of a superfight. Carlos is a true fighter and every bout is a war. Gsp don't like being hit, it works for him but its so boring watching him dry hump his way to a decision.

Hey Skeletor, I think the Keitech Swing Impact might be something you would like. It's got a real slender profile but it really puts out a thump.

Blackberry 8" jellyworm is about the only worm my dad uses and it still catches a ton of fish today. 1/4oz bullet weight and a 4/0 wide gap hook is how I rig them. They're one bait that I probably don't use enough honestly. I've got some 12" blackberry and they're a good bait to get a big bite.

Mann's still sells their jelly worm and augertail on their website--they are going to make special run on junebug and green pumpkin--ordred a 100 count bag of both today in 6" today---INMO still best worms going

with a 6 to 8 inch worm, i tend to just use a 2/0 hook. i have noticed that many use a much bigger hook than i do. just from my on personal experience, the smaller hook you can get away with the better action your worm has, and the more strikes you get. a 12 inch worm with some diameter to it, i will typically use a 4/0. as for the colors of 6 inch jelly worms that i used. i used black grape probably more than the rest. bo

Much like my last girlfriend: Cold and Indifferent.

I still use them. I've had the best luck with the 8" blueberry and the 12" strawberry. What I like best about them is your hands don't smell like week old buzzard puke after handling them. These were texas rigged on a 4/0 and 6/0 Owner twist lock.

Are you talking about hook sets? Personally, I don't feel like you need to set the hook as hard as some people do. I barely have a hook set on any baits I use and if it doesn't penatrate pass the barb on the hook set, it'll do that during the fight.

Are we talking $150 for 1 or 2 reels? What are your plans for these reels and do want them both to be the same size? From $60-100 there are countless choices that can be used for freshwater fishing, most of which will be more than adequate. Generally speaking the you spend the more refined the reel will be. I would suggest getting an idea of what you have in mind in reference to weight, line capacity and so on. I would pay more attention to the quality of the drag rather than the max number, your drag will be set in relationship to your line. I have read in the past that some ICW fishing is in store for you, all reels can be used but some are better suited. Now it's up to you to do your homework and become an informed shopper. Interesting, as I was thinking about my response I went on few websites, I noticed some reels that used to be approved for saltwater no longer are. Probably for occasional use no problems would arise, but doubt I'd go there for steady use.

My point was that by using braid you can use a slower rod to accomplish what a faster rod can accomplish using mono..

No, braid doesn't make the rod power or action any more powerful or faster than what it actually is. It doesn't make it feel that way, either; what it does is reduce the amount of force it takes to set the hook because there's less stretch in the line.

Falcon spinnerbait box. They look very nice when they're all in the box correctly. They look like a mess when you just toss them in the box after use like I do

Not cathcing anything.- cousin I got frostbite.. Cousin Quit your bojangling...Me its hawg time----Me this is fall fishing with my cousin haha!

I was just thinking the other day, I have been a member on here for coming up on 5 years, and I wanted to give a couple thoughts. first, has it really been that long? second the vast amount of knowledge on here makes pretty much any and all magazines irrelavent, I picked up an issue of bassin' the other day and was like man I remember a thread on BR from a while ago that was way better than this. I have also seen a lot of changes on the forum. I have to say if you were'nt around for muddy's (you mook) awesome music threads and hillarious grumpy old man-isms you are the one who is missing out. third I just wanted to say that this has been the most level headed best moderated forum I get on, I have seen VERY little scuffles or arguing in the time I've been here, and the ones that did exist were basicly a reslut of reading a post wrong and were quickly resolved. Another thing I notice is how few bots i have seen. I'm not shure if I've ever seen one. overall, I have to say, my hat is off to Glenn for making such a great site that actually has a sense of community to it. well it's getting late and I don't remember half the stuff I was going to say, so.. sincerely, guitarkid ps. between this thing --> http://www.flickr.co...N04/8016949671/ and working I really have'nt been on very much lately

don't fall in. sh** it's cold.

Find the shad. Throw a spinnerbait. Set the hook!

You can walk it with braid, but you have to ease up on your twitches. It takes less effort with braid than if using a mono. That said, it will from time to time get tangled in your front trebles. You could always attach a 1-2 foot mono leader on your braid as well. Regarding the submerged weeds, as long as the trebles hanging in the water column can clear them you're fine. You get caught up at all, you're unlikely to get it free without killing the action or being able to walk it properly. Colors.....surface lure, so what matters most is on the underside. White and Black are your general underside colors. You can also get clear, although I don't have a ton of luck with that.
