You can get tilt and trim on a 50! He just wants you to buy the bigger motor.

One more thing, at its deepest were looking no more then 20->30ft.

Oh I should have stated, this isnt a lake per say, its a man made resivour which is drained every year.

98% of the bottom of this lake is mud. Ive been going 3-4 times a week since april. In the deep Ive caught walleye. Below the dam ive caught them, above the dam Ive caught them. The only place I havent tried is right on the dam itself. Anyone is welcome to come join me and prove me wrong, Id more then appreciated it. ;D

I understand that, Ive found the baitfish, theres not a smallie anywhere to be found in the lake but go up stream, thats where they are. Ive NEVER seen one caught in the lake but they dont live in the creek year round.

Well seems to me you sealed the beast with that box "Worm File" says it all. Im sure you can search on here and find tons of stuff people like. Get some big worms(7 1/2"->10 1/2") hard to choose one color Couple rattle traps(again, hard to choose one or two colors) Spinner Baits Something Top Water Yeah, then you need all the stuff to rig it, better get a loan! Or just dont pay the mortgage, they will hold off a month or two with the economy, tell them you lost your job.

The easiest way is to take one with you.

wow no one huh, guess you guys are as baffled as i am

I was referring to the Tiki Stix

I dont think they are even close. I fish them but to me they seem really stiff which is why im checking this guys baits out. If they are as soft as name brand senkos ill keep buying them. $10 for 50!

Matt my fiance was just looking at your swimbaits(had to show her after she came and saw those bass) she told me to tell you thats the most realistic amazing bait she has ever seen.

Check ebay, guy does hand pours on there in about 75 colors. I just ordered a bag two nights ago... WHERES MY SENKOS!

Small curly tail grubs, gold spinners.... thats all you need and a small deep running crankbait for the big dogs.

The local lake has a 9" restriction on it so 13" is about normal.

Fresh Large Mouth: 8lbs(rough) Small: 5lbs Brown Trout: 8lbs(28" lake run)(Fly Rod) Brook Trout: 20"(Fly Rod) Steelhead/Rainbow: 18lbs(Fly Rod) Pink Salmon: 3lbs(Very rare for Erie PA now)(Fly Rod) Rockbass: 20" Crappie: 18"(2 wks ago, 12ft deep crankbait) Sunfish/Gill:12" Channel Cat: 12lbs Chain Pickerel: 27" Walleye: 6lbs(On a SENKO!) Carp(19lbs) Perch(16") Golden Rainbow: 22"(Fly Rod) Salt:(last i did it i was a kid with no advise) Puppy Drum(6lbs) Flounder(3lbs)

Oh I almost forgot, i get a good smallie run in the stream thats also stocked below my house. They love a Yozuri Pins Minnow. Thanks for the compliments, I actually need to finish those and mail them out, Im probably holding everyone up I just cant get motivated with all the bass fishing im doing.

Caddis? March Brown? Stone Fly? um... Dobson Fly? Many of the mayfly species drop back to the water on initial lift off because they are still wet. Most also touch down to lay eggs but some also dive such as the Blue Winged Olive and the Caddis. The Caddis comes in Tan and Grannom(Black)

Do like me, just order it, when it shows up tell her "This thing was on sale and I bought it for half price. The one I had was bad i COULDNT live without it." I also like..."My sponsor gave this too me for free"... you probably should have a sponsor so its believable. "

If you hook it to the TM batteries it can and will cause interference. Every time you touch the TM button the finder will go crazy. I have never left mine on and even if I did I don't think it will run the battery down in two days. Anyway my Skeeter has a master switch that kills everything. My fish finder runs off the TM battery along with everything else. Ive never seen a problem but then again, its not mounted to the TM either.

My lake hasnt even started the spawn from what I see. The temps fluctuated so wildly that the fish started moving in, then moved back out. I have yet to see a bass on the bed. Ive been on this lake about 4 times a week since April. I expect it to start very soon and I hope it does because bass season opens soon and I fear that many will go home to be eatn.

Why on earth would you hook that to the cranking battery? Imagine if you forgot to turn it off... your out on vacation... no electric.... you jump in your boat day 2..... blub blub blub.... BLAAAAH!

If they had to "weld" anything to my boat they better have the best darn tig welder in the nation or id want a refund.

You will never out reel a gamefish of any type, not possible.

This is quite odd to me, so I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I live at the junction of two very popular streams in pa which run into a medium size lake. The lake has multiple species of fish and is ranked by the PA boat commission as one of the hot spots for largemouth in the state. Heres my delema. The two streams converge right below my house here and form the tributary which fills the lake. I would not consider it a river, not large enough. Anyhow, these smallies are not found in the lower section below the spring creek but above the confluence in the freestone stream from mid summer to late fall. Then... they vanish again. I have to believe they are going back to the lake. Theres nothing upstream and in fact the stream they run into freezes mid winter. The temperature is no different then the lake. The only thing I can think drawing them upstream is an abundent crayfish population combined with some dobson flies and stone flies. Why on earth are the largemouth not following them or why are the smallies leaving. The lake has an over abundence of panfish and I actually hooked some today fishing with my daughter that I have no doubt a large smallie could swallow. I can get my boat up the trib some ways but like I stated, they are just not as abundent below where the cooler spring creek empties in. When can i find these fish in the lake? What is your guess for them all LEAVING the lake, temps of the lake are ranging from 55 to 67 right now and they arent in sight. Thanks for any help. Jeremy

If you fish lakes with a high population of panfish dont be surprised if they hit it a lot!
