Here is the Link http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/finding_smallmouth.html Its well worth reading. There's a mining for smallmouth too that is real good.

I gotta say that is one benifit of being single. When I ask the boss to go fishing I never say no.

Is this a warranty issue? If it is a warranty issue I would say "I dont think so."

You guys are lucky. My baitmonkey socked me for a new Loomis BCR855, some baits from Ghostbaits.com, some baits from Joesjigtrailers, some x raps, gammy hooks, zoom hawgs, and some lures from, kickerfishbait.com, and a few other items I am forgetting.

Your hands always smell like fish

When it comes to smallmouth I'm not the greatest in locating them, choosing the right type of bait. What types of structure, breaks, points do they tend to migrate too? Also what lures work the best? I'm 99.9% sure Im going to st clair at the end of the month so I'm gathering as much intel as I can. I've been reading articles and all the posts I can find on smallmouth. I wont be fishing St Clair strictly so I need a rough guideline on what to look for. Thanks G.

Amen to that. He fixed me up when I had a problem ealier this week. We would be lost without him.

cool thanks I will check it out.

I need some more help in finding skirt material for jigs. I have checked stamina, barlows, and janns and can not find what I am looking for. I am looking for a barbwire skirt pumpkin with brown stripes. In my quest I have also found another site that has some cool colors you guys might want to check out. http://www.ztackle.com/skirt/default.asp if anyone knows of anywhere else to check for skirt material please let me know. Thanks

No, but I have called it a few names before.

I tan very easily and quickly. I always wear sunscreen usually SPF 50 sometimes 30. I dont want cancer later in life. You guys may laugh at me but I use water babies sunscreen.

A good sensitive rod a good reel with a fast pickup good sensitive line, flouro or braid 7' or little longer rod is my favorite Like avid said keep a tighter line, fish slow, if something doesnt feel right set the hook Most of my jig bites are pickups and very little movement or felt bit. If I do feel a bite its usually a little tap. Line watchin will also serve you very usefull. And the main one LOTS OF PRACTICE.

Thats what I would do too. I know when I make more of them I will be buying the heads and adding the blades. Stamina has some good ones and good blades etc. for cheap.

#1 on my list is Toilet paper. I think the rest has been covered

From the last week of warm weather I would say you will be in the 60's. I would locate warm water in the backs of coves and secondary points. This is where you should locate most of your fish.

I would wear them to keep my hands from getting chewed up. I would say the gloves being wet would be better

clear water reflects heat instead of absorbing it like a muddy lake does. Kinda like aluminum and a black pot. The black pot will heat more quickly in direct sunlight

0 will go all the way up to the 1/4 oz.

Does anyone know what sizes are needed. I cant find this anywhere. I am looking at the horse head style. First mold on the top of this link. http://www.do-itmolds.com/products/luremolds.php?UID=2006041207265112.145.230.171&category=horse_head-pony_head_jig Thanks

i fish slow, I'm not in any big hurry. I would say 90% finesse or slow fishing and 10 Power fishing.

I am going to relplace my steering cables since one of them broke(rusted up). So here are my questions. How do you get the old ones off? I tried to remove them by pulling them out but no success. Cutting seems most reasonable. How hard is it to run the new cables? I am familiar with the system and how it hooks up, but is it worth messing with or pay the $150 labor charge and not mess with it. It doesnt look difficult at all. Basically it looks like feeding the cable through the boat and hooking up. The part that looks most difficult is the angle coming out of the boat to the motor. But it doesnt look like it will effect installation just removal. Any other suggestions or has anyone done this before on a bass boat.

you can usually build it cheaper then buying it. Or you can put better hooks on the bait instead of replacing them on a new bait once you get it.

If you have a merc dealer close you can get a test prop. Its a nice pretty sky blue. Pay a down payment and test it out then take the prop back unharmed and you get you $ back. Thats how I figured out which one I needed. Sounds alot like my boat. I believe mine is a 17 pitch. Just remember as you change pitch your rpm's will change. Same way if you go 3 blade or 4 blade

bad gas, or fouled plug/plugs. My motor did that once, changed the plugs and ran like a top.

Yep, its not wavy until your running to the back of the boat when your fishing to get the weight off the bow so the monster waves dont come over the top, and your trolling motor is only in the water about 1/2 the time.
