  1. Flip a straight tail black worm. start with a grass line in water at least 4 foot deep and keep going down the edge.
  2. Rapala makes a count down crankbait. They work without losing action.
  3. You can cover water quick.
  4. I hope it is not caught. I like the original record.
  5. I use worms that float. A lot of them sink and lie flat on the bottom. I like to see that tail/back half of the worm float up. ( I test them in a pool) Normally I use 3/16 or 3/8 ounce slipsinkers. Pitch it out, pull some line out let it sink. Watch for a tick or movement in the line for a pickup. If no fish, I ease it forward a foot or so, but not by lifting the rod, but by a small sweep sideways, you can still keep your rod tip high. We use to say that the "bouncers get the ouncers, draggers get the braggers". I don't think you are missing fish on the fall. They'll hang on to it. Now you do have to set the hook though because you can pull it out of their month. I have caught bass bouncing and dragging, but I like to drag or glide it with that floating tail like it's feeding along the bottom. Now flipping is different, but just pitching it to visual structure that's what I do.
  6. Weigh Watchers works! Congratulations on making a change in your life!
  7. Coyotes, Dove, Turkeys. Like to sit in the deer stand with my Grand Nephews, let them shoot.
  8. Don't always cast out to the middle of the lake. I have caught bass just flipping grass and bushes just waking the shoreline. Where are you moving to?
  9. Let her wear them. My wife like certain shirts I have also. She can wear them anytime.
  10. My auto-inflate is a Bass Pro Shop. Very light and I don't even notice it. Chance the gas cylinder once a year. I am wearing it in my Aviatar. But then,... haven't fallen out of the boat to try it out!
  11. I use 3/0 and 4/0 Tru-Turn Hooks for Flipping, pitching, worming. I will use wide gap if I am flipping and pitching a Fluke. Hadn't had any problem with hooks, color of worm yes, but not the hooks!
  12. Fishing Father/Son Bass Tournements with my Daughter.
  13. A lot of these water holding ponds along the highways have been stocked with bass, brim, catfish. Try them out. Also get a job on a golf course, ponds are loaded. Also there are a lot of ponds/lakes in the towns and cities that can be fished from the shoreline. you won't have any trouble fishing florida. Bring plenty of plastic worms!
  14. Launched my boat without the line tied from the trailer and the boat. Had to swim for it.
  15. 3 bags of Vixen finess worms in "main vein" color . Will use them drop shoting.
  16. Finess Fishing/Charlie Brewer Sliders when nothing else works.
  17. Lipless Crankbait or Spinnerbait Good Luck. You might finess worms with real light weight or weedless worm.
  18. I too use zip lock bags. May dump a couple of packs of the same plastics in it and store them in my boat tackle locker. I use maybe 3 to 4 colors and can put a handful of them in seperate smaller ziplock bags and drop them in with my rods in my rod locker so they are handy.
  19. I like the quiet.
  20. I use Tru-turn hooks. 2/0 for finess, 3/0 for Producto and Culprit worms, 4/0 for large lizards.
  21. I bought one used and really like it. When I replace reels I will do so with Pro Qualifiers.
  22. If I had to catch a big one I would use a large plastic lizard.
  23. I have bought some Bass pro shop brand on e-bay. They may still sell some at their stores.
  24. Dark Worm, 1/4 oz. slip slinker. Try different sizes of worms.
