Bankbeater

All I do with the tackle box is go through it and make sure I have enough of each bait. However, I do find that sharpening hooks can be quite relaxing.

This little pond is great for numbers, but man it's getting weird out there. A couple of years ago I find a statue of an angel, and today I find this. My wife asked me if I touched it and I told her "NO". I turned around and walked back off of the point. BTW, I managed to catch 7 small bass with a weightless Yum Dinger. They were where the coontail met the water willows.

Nice going! Congratulations!

What size spook? For a Zara Puppy I like a 6'6" m/f, and for the regular Zara Spook I like a 6'6" mh/f.

The experience you pick up fishing now will help you decide on the equipment you'll need to use for any upcoming fishing trip.

I don't notice a difference in mileage from different brands. I do notice an increase in MPG after an oil change and when the filters get changed. I have also noticed the warmer it gets the better mileage I get.

Prayers sent for you and your family.

I've fished in thick coontail when the air temp was in the high 90's. The bass didn't seem to notice. I've been on some waters around here the bite completely shuts down around 80 degrees.

Welcome back to the forums.

Lipless crankbait, spinnerbait, or a chatterbait.

A lot of good people sharing a lot of good information.

On the way home today from work regular unleaded had dropped down to 4 bucks a gallon at the station about a mile from the house. At the truck stop over on the highway maybe 5 miles away gas is still $4.69 a gallon. ?

My favorite is a 1/16 white Rooster Tail fished on the UL rig.

Around here sexy shad will outfish splatterback 10 to 1.

For a long time I tied directly to the spinner, then I tried a swivel to help with line twist. I didn't notice any change in line twist so I started tying to the spinner again.

Creme Scoundrel. I've been using them for years.

I've had it a few times over the years. Last time was the worst. For me it always starts with a sinus infection that gets into my ears.

I fish my plastics straight out of the package. Fishing them in the thick vegetation and in rip rap roughs them up fast enough.

The size bass I am targeting will determine where I go fishing. On some trips I go after numbers, and on some trips I go after size. On a few rare trips I have been lucky enough to get both size and numbers.

So sorry for your loss.

(3) packs of 4" Yum Dingers (2) packs of Zoom Superhogs (1) pack of Zoom Z Hogs (2) Mann's Baby 1 Minus (2) Heddon Zara Puppys. I think the bait monkey is back.

Good going! Looks like you found the hawgs!

Sorry to hear about your Dad.

If the mole runs are out in the open get a garden hose hooked up. Then stomp down the runs so that they are flat with the grade of the ground. Shove one end of the hose into a mole mound and turn on the water. If the moles are still in the run they will try and surface to get out of the water. If the mole runs go under something like a deck then you're going to have problems. You'll just have to wait until they work their way out.

While fishing from the bank always remember to look around to see if you are going to hit anything as you make the cast.
