Thanks for the help i like the options. I really like the way those flirts look.

I'm looking for something comparable to the pro senko. I like the tapered tail bit don't feel like paying $7 a pack to get multiple colors. Thanks for the help.

Portage Lakes. Tough lake but it is a place that you really can hone your skills in on.

I have not looked at the oil yet. Thats why i came here. There are alot of people that have seen alot of things. i had the lower unit down all winter to keep water out of the housing and to keep it from freezing in the prop area. Thats how i found it today. I will look into that first thanks.

I was getting the boat ready today and noticed this little leak out of where the prop goes in. Im guessing there is a seal that went bad. What are the other things that could be wrong. If anyone else has had this problem (assuming some of you have) can you fix it from taking the prop off or am i going to have to drop the lower unit and split it apart. Its an Evinrude 120 HP if that matters. Im assuming most motors are put together the same way. Thanks For the help

Wish i had seen this on friday. I know they were catching them pretty good on hard jerkbaits. one place i would have started was over in east along the bridge but hitting the rip rap by the clock tower on the way there. How did you end up doing?

If you are going to start out on a new lake what would you do? What areas would you start at? What structure would you look for? Lures would you throw?

A- Rob thats exactly why i made this. I would be interesting to have some other scenarios and see what people would do

This would be largemouth i live close to erie and thats the only time i target smallmouth. WRB thanks for correcting me i should have said surface temp. I was thinking that figuring every one would know what i was talking about. And this doesn't have to be a Hypothetical lake in my area it could be one in your area. Keep um coming

I would kinda like to start with a scenario can see how every one would handle this situation as a learning experience for all. Your lake water temp is in the low 80s and weather has been in the high 80s with sun for a week. Then in 3 days you get a temp drop bringing the water down to low 70s degrees along with off and on rain. The day you go fishing its scheduled to get into the mid 80s with a slight chance of scattered rain It rains off and on in the morning lightly and then gets sunny in the afternoon and your water temp rises 10 degrees over the course of your trip It is post spawn What do you do? (locations to look for, baits, cover/structure, depths What i do. In the morning knowing the the water temp is gonna rise some i will look for points or drops close to shallow water bays thinking that fish may be hanging out there and hungry after the cold front came in. I look for the points and drops to have weeds on them as well. I will normally try and find a drop from 3 or 4 FOW to any where between 8 and 12 FOW. I will hit these with a 4" worm and working it slowly ( catch 90% of my fish on worms and hate throwing cranks and spinner baits). As the day moves on and the water warms up i'm gonna either go find some docks in 4 to 6 FOW close by (the point or drop) or go to one of the shallow (3FOW or less) bays close by with weeds in it. Around the dock i'm gonna throw a 4" worm either Texas rig or casting a drop shot and working it back slowly. The bay i'm gonna throw a weighted soft jerk bait and twitch it back. Just wondering how others would handle it and some of us may be over looking things on our lakes that would work better. Thanks for your participation

Talk about a bad day. Serves him right though.

Im in

Im looking for them in purple. I know they make them in the 4" but i cant find them in 10". Does anyone know if they make them in a 10" if so where can i find them? The 4" work so good for me i started buying packs of 100 and going through 1 a year. would like to have some to go after the big boys/girls. Thanks for any help. P.S. I have looked on both cabelas and bass pro

Im new to fall fishing. i have been in college and havnt been able to fish the falls much. But now im out and looking to fish. What are some of your favorite fall tactics? Lure selections? cover/structure? I have read a few articles on here and they have helped some. Thank you for your input Terry

A friend and i were fishing a lake in NE ohio this year. We caught some on cranks. we then pulled up to a shallow warning buoy in the middle of the lake it was a grass bed a stretch of 100 ft or so. the grass bed was 7 FOW the sides were 20+ FOW. were throwing spinner baits after 15 min of nothing i casted out and went to get a drink. it sat for a few min. lifted up and there was a fish. my friend casted out it would sit on the bottom for a few min then all of the sudden it would start moving and set the hook fish on. we caught 4 this way 2 dinks a 5 lber and a 3 lber. i tried pitching jigs, worms, cranks and drop shots to no avail... Does anyone have an explanation as to why they wouldn't take it while we were cranking them but could cast out and let them sit on the bottom for 2-3 min and then the fish would pick it up? info july 9 Sunny water temp 75

pay attention to where you catching fish.

I have a 1987 Evinrude V4 120 hp. I was having a discussion with someone and they were telling me that it is not a good idea to run mid-grade gas through the motor. Is this true? also would it be safe to put carb. cleaner in it?

I normally say "here we go" then set the hook

1. Watermelon red senko 2. Black Neon venom rattlin hog 3. Green pumpkin purple fleck zoom finess worm 4. 4" red shad power bait worm 5. 4" purple power bait worm 6. Black/blue fleck venom rattlin hog 7. Avocado senko 8. Green Pumpkin senko 9. Tennessee shad Jointed shad rap 10. Tennessee shad rattle trap

is this a common practice or do most flip/ pitch or just fish the edges with worms? I have been skipping docks with senkos and doing alot better. I am fishing the same docks and other skipping structure that i would normally do one of the others on. Is there anything else that yall would recomend to try skipping

I was introduced to it by my dad with a hook and bobber. i had a few friends that showed me the basic rigs. the rest i have taught myself. location what colors to use, what lures to use, however it took me fishing a summer 5-6 days a week to get a good start (not like im complaining) the best thing is just getting out there and fish

Ben from what im am told water is in the mid to upper 50's. i have yeat to make it out between work and school. i am inbetween switching jobs next week so i will have whole week to fish

Has any one been out fishing and used any of the lures that you got? how have you done on them?

Fishing a deacent sized pond one time for catfish. I had just strated to reel in and hooked something big. reeled it in to find out it was a trash bag full of mud. It put up a good fight though.

This may be an ignorant question and im sure it has been on here before. but what kind of knot do you use to tie the Floro and braid together?
