  1. We received a e-mail at work saying not to upgrade to IE-7. It seems some of the older programs do not work well with it.
  2. I usually use 1/4 ounce with a big bulky trailer like a Zoom large salty chunk or a Zoom super chunk. If they are not hitting it, I'll try putting on a smaller trailer or trimming down the existing one.
  3. I picked Zoom just because that is all I ever use.
  4. I had good luck in clear water with Zoom tubes in pumpkin color. I have had very good luck with the chart. crawfish color this year around weedy and mossy cover.
  5. A 1/4 ounce or 3/8 ounce black-blue jig.
  6. I remember then they used to say that about jigs.
  7. I fish it with a steady retreive and like a jerkbait. Both ways work, I just let the fish tell me what they want.
  8. A minus 1 for shallow water and a 1/2 ounce rat-l-trap in natural craw or chart. shiner colors.

    Colors?

    With lures I try and stick to what looks like a natural pattern.
  10. I think they will hit just about anything a bass will.
  11. I cast right handed w/ a right retreive reel. Never really gave it much thought before, I just went out and did it.
  12. IMHO, I think that they air pressure effects them more than the temp. When its cold and you can get a pattern on the LM you can still catch them.
  13. Where is the Baitmonkey... He's in my wallet, and he ain't coming out soon.
  14. Good to know, thanks.
  15. The name fits the way I fish. I usually cast in toward the bank when I'm in a boat and trudge around the bank when fishing from shore.
  16. Being born and raised in the St. Louis area, you ain't going to get an argument from me on that one.
  17. Most of the lakes around me are between 1 acre and 170 acres. The closest big lake would have to be Mark Twain and that's about a 2 hour drive, longer in traffic.
  18. One of the bigger lakes around SW Missouri, NE Arkansas, or Texas. No phone no computer nothing to do but fish for as long as I want.
  19. Check the grocery store for scents. Some of the food flavoring and spices they sell stinks just as bad as the stuff you pay big bucks for and its a lot cheaper.
  20. Usually dawn, but it also depends on the lake I am going to be fishing at.
  21. Wind and girls. Not necessarily in that order.
  22. Nice. Some good ideas here.
  23. HAHA Good Stories. Several years ago my Mom and Dad were fishing out of a boat down in the Arkansas part of Current river. Well my Dad, who is running the boat, decides to tie up under a tree that is growing out from the bank and hanging out over the river. He runs the boat right into a hornets nest and my Mom about freaked. I don't think she ever went out in the boat with him again after that.
  24. Around here the deepest lake is probably about 20-25 feet deep.
  25. These are some great stories.
