  1. So is anybody down for a meetup maybe this summer? Late summer? Spring? I'm boatless at the moment. Been debating trading the motorcycle for something. But obviously down to pay for gas and drinks of choice??
  2. @Bluebasser86 whats DT training?
  3. Its been 70 here in alabama the past couple days too, big difference from Michigan...and im sorry you're stuck in Ohio too?
  4. Yoooooo that should kill. Kinda looks like the sorta sheen fish have underwater when the light hits right.
  5. @swhit140Hmm 50-60 would be a hell of a deal, I'd buy 2 right now at that price point. Would you say a tatula is ~40-60 dollars better than the advantage?
  6. As far as stiff vs limp...I dont see why you wouldn't want the limpest line you could get away with eh? Like I love monos castability(Suffix elite??), but Pline's fluroclear is pretty dang good. Throw some line conditioner on there and youre golden. Now limp doesn't mean stretchy. Correct me if im wrong but sometimes you want the stretchy for stuff like @Bluebasser86mentioned? I think because if you have a stretchy line moving a fast spinnerbait, it doesn't rip the bait away from the fish has some give to get the good hook set?
  7. @TnRiver46 I spent most of my time on lake st claire. Its big shallow bowl really. Winds like that in a bass boat were a lil sketchy sometimes for sure. They hitting this time of year in the Tennessee River?
  8. @KozGlenn worked hard on the trips and it showed. Like I said I had a BLAST! Maybe we get a couple unofficial meetups under our belts, and get enough people interested in a BassResource Trip? Anywho, suggestions for a lake? I'd love to fish Guntersville again for nostalgia purposes, but I dont really know any lakes down here and I'd love to go somewhere I havnt been! I'll throw Tennessee River in the hat for ya @TnRiver46!
  9. I came on the Guntersville trip back in 2012. Had a blast despite some less than stellar conditions. Loved it so much I wanted to move to Guntersville. Life's funny though because I lost my job and found a great new job in alabama! Moved down a year and a half ago. I saw there havnt been any since 2012 besides the unofficial one. Any plans to get it up and running again? If not I'd be down for spit balling an unofficial trip somewhere in the south east.
  10. Ive been doing jiujitsu for a bit and had some Muai thai and kickboxing training too. Im not stepping in the cage anytime soon, still a white belt(gotten past the whitebelt-spaz stage??). Maybe one day. Ive sparred before and not gonna get spazzy there either. But if anybody is in the Alabama- Georgia area and is down for some fishing and jiujitsu. Holler. My stand up game is trash so I'm pulling gaurd.
  11. Lake st clair fluctuates maybe 1-1.5ft throughout the year i think. Nothing that would completely ruin my fishing spot. Depends on how much snow we'd gotten up north. I loved the clear water so much. Now all I got is chocolate milk...
  12. 1) Youre probably good with the 15lb braid. Personally I'd go up to 30. Gives me the option to get into nastier places. Id use this rod for soft plastics as well. 2) Is this a MH rod?? I reccomend a fast reel. 7:1 gearing at least with ~12-15Lb fluro line. I'd use it for spinnerbaits swimming jigs lighter swim baits, lipless cranks. 3) This is a Heavy rod? Maybe something you could use for big swim baits, dont have a specific reel reccomendation....something with a 6-7: gear ratio? Not to make you feel like you need to biy more stuff....buuuut....? Something for cranks baits. I dont fish them much and not really sure whats best. My reccomendation is to check out the bass resource articles!
  13. Ive gone from being extremely methodical when I first started to now a little more on the medium fast. I still use methodical type lures, jigs and soft baits, but just fish them fast. Makes picking a spot apart nice when you find them and then can use that same lure to interrogate the surrounding area.
  14. I moved to the south from Michigan and lake levels aren't something I've really ever thought about. But yesterday I went to a park that over the summer I thought would be a great fishing spot come fall. Unfishable from shore....was super bummed but went to the dam and still got a couple. I think ill join your lake-level-checker-club.
  15. Looking to re-up my arsenal, and I loved my daiwa advantage BC, paired it with a 7'M rod and it was great for lighter lures. On ebay I can get one for 100-120 with maybe some cosmetic damage. Ive been out of the game for minute so I'm not sure whats really offered out there these days. But is there another reel as smooth as the Daiwa advantage for the price? Am I over hyping my first nice reel for nostalgia purposes?
