  4. Scale, I bought that bait unboxed off a rack for $1.00. It has never seen the water. lol I had no Idea what It was until maybe two years ago. I bought It because It was balsa and I had never had one before.
  5. I can fish alone or with others. The older I get the conversation and merely being on thew water Is a great thing. That being said I'll share this; I fished with a friend on mine for years and at the start It was a blast. As the years passed it became Increasingly difficult to fish with him. 3-4 years ago I finally had enough and now fish alone the biggest majority of the time. I have learned to appreciate the solace, take In the beauty of being on the water, me, my thoughts, a few fish, and the keen awareness that I'm In a position to do what I love. The one person that's always welcome and encouraged to come fish Is my wife. She doesn't care what we're catching as long as she's catching fish. This woman agreed to fish on our honeymoon a couple of years ago! It was my single best day on the water as she caught her personal best largemouth three different times that day, how cool Is that?! The point of the above story Is this; Have FUN! What's the point If you're not enjoying the time on the water? If that means you fish alone do that, If It means taking someone, do that. If you find a balance or preference, you more than likely will have a great trip, year, and life!
  6. Here's a sampling of a few baits from the 70's to 90's. They are nothing with much value just an example of what hoarders we fisherman can be.lol There's three Doug Parker Rabble Rouser baits including the unboxed bait that I caught my first seven largemouth on, a Bagley's bait (baby bass) that I bought for a small amount of money at a small tackle shop in Arkansas back in '81. A sinking lazy Ike and aflatfish(?) given to me buy two buddies that got me started on the serious bass trek and lastly a couple of packages of the mid-90's soft cranker baits from Culprit. Enjoy!
  7. Happy birthday Clayton!

  11. I usually start fishing at night around the end of April until late October. One of the best pieces of advice I can give here is to know the water you're fishing very well. By that I mean fish the lake extensively during the day so you know It like the back of your hand. It's different visually at night. I'm like Catt In that I usually fish the same places at night that I do during the day. I do fish a few different baits at night. I tend to go with the darker hues and a larger bait. The reason for this Is pressure during the day. I tend to down size during the day, It simply gets more bites. A few of my favorite night baits are as follows: A zoom 8" big dead ringer in black or red/shad. A black(locally made) spinnerbait with a Zoom swimming chuck trailer. I fish the spinnerbait on the bottom and slow enough to keep the blade turning. Unlike some I rarely throw any topwater. I don't know why other than I have a great amount of confidence In the above. I also love to throw a crankbait on flats and points. I have found color makes little difference. I also think It's Important that you let someone know where you're going, have a cell phone handy, and like during the day have your PDF on at all times. In the South It's much more comfortable to fish at night during the late Spring though early Fall. Again, I can't dstress enough to know the water you're fishing. If I do fish a place I'm unfamiliar with I to go slow, take my time, and try to get out there before dark to get my bearings.
  12. Buy what you can. I'm more of an "R" series guy but anything older by Rebel, especially for $2.00 is well worth the money!
