I am GMan's fiancee and he made me go fishing with him. I caught this fish on a jig that he showed me how to use. It is my first big fish and my second time fishing. He's so proud of me!
Have a good day boys!
Hugs,
Future Mrs. GMan
Over 75%. as far as I can remember the only baits I've thrown this year that were not home made were some tubes and Ragetail anacondas just to try them. Few jerkbaits too.
I'm well over 75% though. That includes homemade baits by other members. I've sold off almost all of my non-homemade tackle.
Hmm...
I might have to change my thinking, I would have sworn both you
and GMAN advised me NOT to trim my jig skirts or weedguard a few
years ago. Must be that Alzheimers kicking in.
LOL, Joe likes short weedguards and I like short skirts.
I dont mess with my weedguards. I fishem like they are. Skirts I do trim about 1/4-1/2" past the hook.
That makes perfect sense Raul. Thats why I posted this thread. I'm no pro, but I dont deal with "beginner" much. I want her to have a great time and me not in the mindset of why cant you fish this bait deal.
RW is also right about the topwater. I'll also let her try a popper and see if she can get a monster to hit it. That should get the excitement built up. Extremely easy to fish.
I could care less if I catch a fish on this outting. Its all about getting her a 5+lb bass.
What are you guys thinking on pound line?
I've got my own fishing style and thats all good and stuff. Here is my issue I am needing some outside opinions on. I'm taking the boss fishing to the honey hole and all she can throw is a spinning rod. Lots of structure and lots of big hard hitting fish. The rod she will be using is a med action spinning rod BSR852 and a sustain 2500. Water is muddy and I'm thinking about 10lb line maybe 12lb.
What I do not want is her to lose a monster fish and ruin her day. This trip is going to be all about her and getting her to catch some lunkers. I'm wanting to build her excitement for fishing so she will want to do it more.
Throw some simple lures out there too. Soft plastics is what I'm thinking. That will be her best bet I think.
I've got a bunch of different brands. Xpoint, owner, vmc, gami, mustad ultra pt.
They are all good but overall I think I prefer the xpoint as number one. Then probably owner. Mustad,VMC, and gami are similiar. All are great hooks but I dont think they are as good as the first too.
