ah thats a great tip mr scrogg. i might go the cheap route and cover alot more of my yak using Hodge Podge paste w/ a 10ft roll of black foam place mats. thanks for the idea!

I'm not gonna laugh b/c it will be me next time.

slow down..and then slow down some more. this was from another post i made on bank fishing this time of year: patients, soft plastics and fresh water. trying to get a bite this time of year can almost be painful but can still yield great results so stick with it. try dead sticking a 5" weightless senko (add light weight if ur in 10ft+ water)...wait 20-30 seconds...twitch/shake or drag once or twice (wacky rig is more for vertical bite/dead stick; t-rig drags easier). fan cast to a few good spots and if nothing relocate up shore to fresh water. you can fish soft plastic 'slow' by keeping them on the bottom and at the same time 'fast' by covering water/hiking. that combo gets me the best results. find the shore that has the closest access to deep water. you'll do much better accessing deep water from a kayak/canoe or boat. did you read this thread? http://www.bassresou.../page__hl__ ika good luck

for me braid+FC is the best of all worlds. great sensitivity, low maintenance, multi-environment light jig rod. i fish straight 15lb braid if in stained water, around weeds/light cover, or unpressured waters. i use a 12lb FC leader in semi-clear to clear water, and unpressured waters. i use a 8lb FC leader for gin clear, no cover, and/or heavily pressured waters. and braid isn't as likely to get kinked or compromised like a spool of FC can so it lasts alot longer.

I confirmed it with a 'resident plastics' guy at a BPS location. the new bags of worms are starting to come in skinny. he said corporate usually proudly announces any changes to their lines but he didn't hear anything about the senkos. that made him believe they are trying to fly under the radar w/ the change and save money.

NJ and NY got crushed but some people were still out.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujxQFgCms1A

x2 reaction baits w/ blades and rattles. try a cotton cordell gold rattletrap. sometimes i literally switch to chrome b/c they keep blasting it all day and i get tired of taking them off/nicking my line. if i was going to target them i would use yellow/chartreuse/gold colors

lol in everyone's defense its not like we are talking about new york city. few people are from there and its a very small town. there aren't that many options.. let alone recommendations. i'm sure you'll have a great trip. are you gonna fish!?!

I bought a bunch of their 6" worms and love the Okeechobee Magic b/c it is a monster worm EXACTLY like Yamamoto's 6". However the other 8 colors are all skinny. I don't know if the thick/monster style is their 'new' generation or 'old'. Does anyone know if they are switching to a thick worm? Or saving money and going skinny?

LMAO I bet ur school teachers hated you Raider!

do you like beer? http://ithacabeer.com/

epic study goose. always a pleasure, thank you. i love my PQ's and now lubricate the brake drum thanks to you.

i do but don't worry about the elements as much as theft b/c i live in the city. i have a cardboard tube thru trunk into cabin to slide all my rods into. people have no clue there are rods in my car. that being said...they don't spend too much time in my car. i bring them in to check them over, tie up leaders, tie on lures etc the night before an outing. it allows me to add 30 min more fishing time

x2. i fish south jersey and the power bite is def not on yet. the last two weeks i've been dead sticking weightless 6" senkos with success but that is it. the fall bite should be on within the next two weeks. when it hits have fun and throw anything you want at them=spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, cranks, lipless traps, jerks, swim any jig etc. there have been alot of fronts moving thru. it was even tuff in the pocono mts last week. i couldn't get a deep bite to save my life. after 3 hrs of trying i'd take a 30min break and move shallow to weeds or skipping docks for dinks before going back deep for more punishment. i can't wait for the fall bite!!!

x2. i had to return a micro rod b/c my connection knot (blood) wouldn't pass thru it. i use braid on all my reels w/ fluoro leaders when needed so "true' micro's are out of the question. i like the semi-micro's b/c as stated they foul less

Its like they want people to quite their site. I love BR but I might cancel my membership if every time i logged in I got messages like: "You missed two frog hook sets today" "1 dink stole 2 senko's from you" "A 6lb pig inhaled and spit your jig and you didn't even know...sucker" Don't shame me Glenn!

i can't for the life of me understand why they would want to notify you of such a thing. childish would be an understatement. i deleted my acct a few months ago and would describe FB as "middle school"...high school being too much of a compliment

Clearly 3 anti-fishing devil worshipers!

i would error on higher mounting vs lower bc other variables can be complicated enough. i was out all weekend battling fall conditions. its no fun having to reach into cold water to find ur trolly line b/c an 8lb anchor pulled it under (i usually use a 2lb grappling hook anchor but had to use a 8lb b/c of the 10mph winds).

i wait much longer to set the hook now, w/ all lures not just wacky senkos. i can literally count dozens if not hundreds missed fish over the years from setting hooks too fast. now i "wait to feel the weight" of the fish or for my rod tip to be bending a bit. on the other end of the spectrum...number of gut hooked fished over the years=two. and both were really hungry/agressive 12" dinks

sound like your doing everything right...except those aren't "big bass" on the other end.

i like the twirl action of a single tail grub for my trailer. its worked so well on my chatterbaits that i now use it on my spinnerbaits. wow u reel really fast. i slow roll mine on the bottom...so slow that you can turn the chatter 'off' and give a rod tip rip to turn it back on agian=that when my hits come. and of course experiment w/ different retrieves to see what they want that day. i do burn it too...especially throwing back to the same stop after a bump or miss and burning it out.

look out KVD!!!
