Did everybody but me know vanish sucked? HAHA. Found that out last Thursday. Spiderwire fluoro for me. Been holding up. Well. Longer than the vanish did.

I use: Mono for: Spinnerbaits, Topwaters, Buzzbaits, and Paddletails. Braid for: Frogs, Mice, and THICK Cover Flipping and Pitching. Flouro for: Everything else (Including Crankbaits) Flouro with a good rod is fine with crankbaits. I can feel everything my bait touches and Recently I learned how to fish a crankbait, the right way. Not just cast and retrieve but really know how to fish it. And in order to fish it right your line will be rubbing against all sorts of tree stumps and rocks. Flouro is a little more abrasion resistant.

Haha. Nice Video man. My lake is so heavily pressured right now, since the trout stocks started. I haven't even seen a bass in a while. Lol.

I'm with him^^^ Quantum screwed it up. Daiwa was starting to screw it up. But for the price get the rick clunn that's on clearance at Bass Pro. I own a Citica as well as the Rick Clunn. I would go as far as to say the Rick Clunn should be priced up there with the Citica. It is a great reel. They're running out though. All they have left is the 7.1 right handed and 6.4 left handed. I already own the 6.4 righty, and about an hour ago I ordered the 7.1. My lady is gonna be mad. Lol. But just yesterday they had them all. Now they're gone (She'll understand that right?). I hope I made it in time. you should too. The new one is stil just as good. Only difference is the color and about 40 bucks. I will still pay that if I don't get one before they run out of the blue one.

Same here.

Not me, I love the little guy. I enjoy trying new baits, in new ways ALL the time. I'm just not content with "Good Enough". I keep that little monkey close by at ALL times, just in case. Plus, he tucks me in at night.

Lake HODGE. That's the other lake. Me and my buddy had heard of it but we forgot the name. I'll probably go there tomorrow. Thanks for the name drop. NINJA EDIT: wait tomorrows not wednesday.

Hey, how's it going devil dog?... Yeah, I hate that one too. Lol. First of all welcome to sunny socal, camp pendleton isn't too bad. At least it ain't twenty-nine palms. As far as bass spots, about the best one would be Laguna Niguel if you're stationed on the north end of pendleton. To the south or "Mainside" is Lake Dixon in Escondido, which also has some pretty good catfishing in the summer. Anything else feel free to ask me, I'm on my way out now so I won't be hitting these waters too much longer. Also, the lake on base (Lake O'Neill) is a hit or miss. I've gone some days when the fishing is pretty good, and other days when you won't even think there's ANY fish in there. Mostly bad days, but on a weekend with nothing to do, it can be pretty relaxing. Using live shiners as bait is about the best way to fish O'neill. Not much else seems to work.

I like to do that sometimes. It's called bulging, and usually I find that with spinner baits you really have to burn it to make it stay up there. So when bass aren't as active, I'll sometimes use a Buzzbait so i can slow down the retrieve and still keep it right under the surface.

Usually I like to "Helicopter" my spinners. I reel it up to the cover I am trying to fish then stop and let it sink while the blades spin ("Helicopter") then start to reel it in slowly again. It works sometimes but I mostly use cranks and softies.
