Megastink

I fish a lake in PA that's around 50 acres, maybe 65. It has some magnum bass in it. I'm no expert, but I like a 6" Megabass Magdraft. I replace the front hook with a 1/0 red Gammy. Have caught many nice ones on that set-up. its worth mentioning: this place is 6' deep MAX, average of 3.5'. I wanted something slow sinking.

If you sign up for myoutdoortv.com, you'll have full access to the MLF catalog, as well as many other awesome shows. It's $10/month. It's like Netflix for outdoor programs.

Watch the MLF Select tournament they had there last year.

Can you please post a link? I looked on their website and I cannot find blanks for sale.

Any pre cut blanks?

Has anyone used the premade bodies from Janns Netcraft or LPO? How'd they they turn out? I'm considering trying to make a few squarebills and flat sides this winter. if you have pictures of your finished projects or some feedback, please share!

1/4-3/8oz Strike King swim jig, either the tour grade or hack attack versions. I stick to bluegill patterns, and I like a Rage Craw, Rage Grub, Menace, or Rage Swimmer. use them ALWAYS. There's no bad time for one. Typically shallow cover. Fish it like a spinnerbait. Use heavier gear: 15-20lb fluoro, 30-50lb braid, 7' MH rod.

Sometimes while browsing a Cabelas or the like, I pick up a rod I used to use: a Mojo Bass, Triumph, Gander, or Veritas. I'll hold it for a minute, give it a shake, relive a few fish. Then I'll put it back on the shelf, drive home, and hug one of my Ducketts. I'm so glad I bought them!

Im not sure what your gear is, but I use a 7' MH when using a jighead (12lb fluoro), and a 7'1" MH or my 7'4" H with the beast (15-20lb fluoro) pretty standard for swimbaits.

I'm surprised with all the negative experiences. I've had a great experience with these baits on jigheads and on 4/0 BEAST hooks. Ill take all all the ones you want to part with :-)

I own a dozen 1.5 shallows. They get around 2' tops. GREAT baits. Very productive.

I'm still hopeful for a Mini Rage Bug. I'd also like to see Strike King plastics in Bulk Pack (25ct/50ct).

Could you post a profile and a birds eye shot of the head. Also of the hook?

Could I get away with throwing a 10XD with a BB1 in 5.1? I'm looking for a reel specifically from Lews that'll be a good fit for tossing 10XD's. I know they have the Super Duty in 6.4, but I'm really wanting something in the 5 range and I reel Lefty.

I fish it Texas style and on a swing head. Zona just had his live show with KVD and he was tossing it on a jighead. It's a good jig trailer too.

Black/blue Structure Jig and a Blk/BL Rage Craw for hard cover targets. I'd definitely have a double Colorado spinnerbait in chart/white (gold blades) or black/blue (black or gold blade). Chatterbait with a Rage Craw or menace trailer, KVD 2.5 (rattling) in a chartreuse or red based color. Buzzbait (black is water is dirty, White if clear). Id start there.

To learn and to test myself. I've wanted to fish the Bassmaster Elite Series since I was a kid. I've spent countless hours "fun fishing" to learn bass behavior, pattern development, equipment, techniques, etc. I started Tournament fishing to test that knowledge and theories I had developed during my "fun fishing". Tournaments teach you lessons like time management, strategy development, when to go/when to stay, etc. Every day on the water is practice for when I try to qualify, which I plan on starting next year. That's my honest answer.

Hey, that's me you're talking about. My offer stands... maybe I know something you don't? ??

Wow! That's awesome to hear! I have the same unit and am always nervous of losing it. No fear from now on.

This was from two weeks ago. Water is warm now. Several of my friends are slaying them right now.

Both are close to the main river channel, so I'd bet they're open underneath. Going to be great bass and catfish spots!

The structure is around 15' wide.

Found these two structures underwater in my local lake. Not sure if they're roads, or bridges. I scanned 360* around these structures and found nothing else, which makes me think they're stone bridges. You can see the guard rails. Any thoughts?

From my Garmin 73SV: not sure if they're just roads, or old bridges...
