13 a day wasn't slow, but the way to fish the shakey head saturday was SLOW...almost deadsticking it! Just barely move it an inch every 30 seconds or so! Almost too slow..HAHA. But we caught em Jeff

steal in my books

You know from first hand experience....LOL Jeff

Shimano has more ipt, but the patriarch is much lighter! Im a shimano man, but would use the patriarch on your main rod....... till it breaks then use the shimano

Starting off in the morning with finesse fishing isnt the way I fish! First thing in the morning I am going topwater! Saturday I fished Pickwick and caught around 13 fish! 2 were on a trigged beaver and the rest were shakey head fishing, almost dead stuck it was so slow! Not that I dont fish other ways! I have caught WAY more bass this year on plastics, but I'm not gonna pass up the morning topwater bite to fish slow bottom presentations! PSH!! Jeff

Start off with topwater.

I broke my front tooth when I was young biting line, among other things......I carry 3 pairs of pliers with line cutters with me when I fish, just to make sure I don't do that again! Jeff

appears he caught his pb more than once today! Congrats to him and looks like yall had a great day! Jeff

3/8 oz black/blue jig with rage baby craw trailer sk red eye shad 1/2oz(fav color) favorite topwater bait(devils horse)

Stay away from the TN river anywhere near the dam. They are generating so much water, the fishing is bad, and you would die trying to wade! Jeff

Your right! It would escalate the situation dramatically. I myself have never done it, my father on the other hand, would do it in an instant while tournament fishing! He always said if he can hit you with a cast you are too close, and deserve whatever happens! He was also known to throw over others lines to break them off in situations! Thanks goodness he doesn't tournament fish anymore!!! :D Saturday while fishing Pickwick, a pontoon fisherman drives straight between us and the bank while fishing a point! My fishing partner proceeds to pick up a jig and launch it within feet of hitting the pontoon. Would have been a wakeup call to the old fart that never looked up from his graph to see how ticked we were! Jeff

I use a curado e50 for both of those uses (6.4) Jeff

crank bait to the side of a boat or treble hooks into his carpet and I guarantee you he wont do it again!! I know I know thats harsh.....

i use the palomar knot for almost everything.... Jeff

That almost made me sick in fast forward..... but you landed the bass and stayed out of the rocks... Jeff

Got a new picture from this weekend for ya'll.... Jeff

Thank you for your help sir! I thought that just took you to the bottom of the page to make a reply! Haha Jeff

90% of my fishing so far this year is on a naturally spring fed 20 acre pond. It's max depth is about 15 feet and averages about 7. So the topwater bite is on almost every morning and evening, so its a little unfair to compare my topwater success to somewhere like Guntersville! Jeff

I can't quote anyone? how do you do it on the new site? other than that I love it! Jeff

too bad we can't legally eat tiger.....hmmmm LOL! Good ole rivalries! Can't wait till its football time again and we will have a mile long thread about the ark win over lswho? Jeff

I'd prepay as well..... Jeff

Nice day. You have WAY more ambition than I do. I have a 50* rule. If it doesn't get higher than 50* within the first hour I ain goin. Congrats. Jeff

Looks like a fun time was had! Congrats! Jeff

If the NCAA had the same kind of roster restrictions as the NFL, then the numbers would show a more clear percentage, but since they don't, and I'm glad they dont, the numbers could NEVER be accurate! Thank goodness kids that aren't NFL material can play a sport, keep out of drugs and other bad behaviors, while still earning an education, and go on to get a good job and not be an overpaid thug! Think about 5 yr $40 million contracts...thats almost $4 a min 24/7/365! Wish I got paid that for playing football! Hell, I'd be a thug! Jeff

Topwater in general.....doesn't get any better than that! Jeff
