About Me
Spend alot of my free time working on creating a few Trophy Bass Ponds, never knew how hard it is to grow large Bass and how many factors matter. I am the guy who is always experimenting and messing with every lure or bait to see if it makes a different. I want to figure out "Why". If Junebug is working, then I try Junebug Red Flake to see what happens. After 30+ years, I have no clue what makes a difference. I only know one thing for sure...There are no absolutes in fishing.
I love fishing with new people, especially someone who is much more skilled than I am, especially if they are willing to help me learn. Some of the best Bass Angler's I have met fish with the most basic rods and reels you could think of, and maybe carry $100 worth of tackle. They also have patience and can focus from 6 AM to 3PM on every cast, every second. I have a hard time not changing baits every 15 minutes even when catching fish. If something is working good, then how can I make it better which of course is not logical thinking but fishing is for fun right?
Alway's listen to anyone willing to give you advice. Often times the Older Man with the Cain Pole knows more about the lake you are fishing than anyone else.....
Never pass buy the saltwater section of any store...If you think the treble hooks on your lures are not strong, and are fishing with braid, then you need heavy hooks, hooks on a normal popper are fine, but designed for 6-10lb test, if you throw a 2" popper on 20lb braid, you need something at least 1x strong....Saltwater Topwaters are the way to go if you fish heavy cover and heavy rods as 3x strong is needed to horse them in and a 10lb bass is getting into the weeds unless your drag is locked, any hook can bend but put the odds in your favor.
Chomper's Super Sinker...Hard to fish wrong, but it produces bigger bites, constant action, and is a bait that will produce when other creature baits, stick baits, craws will not work...Nail weight it, swim it with a blade on the back....or simply wacky rig it...but if nothing else...Pitch it on 17-25lb Fluorocarbon into heavy cover with a 1/8-1/2 oz bullet weight, it weighs a ton and full of salt, its a great bait for pitching weeds and trees etc...It will come through cover, just pull of its arms...Then save them for the NED Rig...Love this bait. The Jackal Dart hog is designed differently, glad I picked up a case of these baits....Get em while you can, they work when nothing else will... This bait never made it but if it had a bigger name behind it I am sure you would of tried it...Similar to another killer bait never talked about...The Lake Fork Creature....Ugly, but produces... Some are known, but most never get talked about...Here is a group of soft baits that flat out produce, I use often and so do other's which is how I found them, but Maybe it is time to share a few....
