  1. When announcing "last cast!" means that you're are only going to be fishing for another hour.
  2. That hump looks like fun time with a football jig and a drop shot rig (summer), and the ledges by those flats look nice for jerkbait fishing (try in the coldwater periods/ pre spawn, and in the fall.) The ledges themselves, I would hit during the spawn.
  3. HaHa, a swim jg with a rage craw is what I use at my local pond...strangely enough though, the bass in there show a strict preference for hard plastic lures like rapalas.
  4. I'm not to much of a coldwater person, but I would say to try jigging a small grub near steep ledges and drops, flats in deep water, and humps...in deep water. I've even used micro-jerkbaits for bluegill in the cold
  5. Yeah, okay...you win. Not necessarily an win you want to have...but you win.
  6. rapala knot all the way
  7. That's sounds backwards...the ones I lose are always the biggest....as far as my story is concerned haha. Just look above my pic.
  8. Better to do it aned say sorry later, than to ask for permission. haha I see you are well versed in the number one rule of male-female interactions...Never give a specific time as to when you'll be back...be vague.
  9. WHY BRONCOS WHY?! Well, they just crapped away Manning's last chances at another Superbowl win. 4 neck surgeries in a year...Manning doesn't have long left *sigh* At least we still had the commercials...and Drew Brees bringing the Saints the the bowl next year!!!
  10. haha...same here. I mostly fish from shore so a use other baits instead, but there is a tree by a deep pool in a pond near my house that overlooks a blow down in the water. I've taken a nap in it before (there is a crook in the tree about 7 feet off the ground.) From there I can see bass directly below me...so if I laid back in that crook, I could do some vertical jigging right below me. It wouldn't look weird at all.
  11. It's hard to bring the superbowl into caonversations on a fishing forum, but I've managed to find a way. If you could make a commercial for fishing products, or make a slogan....what would it be. Possible slogans for me: Duct tape-"If you can't solve a problem with duct tape...you're just not using enough duct tape!" Gamakatsu- "Designed to make bass hold on longer, with extra salt we got from you body while we were bleeding you dry at the cashier." Ragetail- "If you can't solve a problem with a rage tail...then you must be finesse fishing." (They have nothing for finesse fishing. or "Tail so nice it should be living with Hugh Hefner." You see a rage tail bait getting cast out of sight, into a marshy area, near cattails and lily pads, then all up a sudden...BAM, out jump Charlie Sheen, chasing along a point parallel to the moving bait, running and jumping like the freerunner that would obviously being doing the stunts for him. Then he get to the end of the point, and jumps at the bait in the water in slow, dramatic motion, and SPLASH! Then you see the name and hear an announcer say "Tail so nice, Charlie Sheen should be chasing it." (We could substitute Charlie with a CGI Hefner.) Then you see KVD lift his lure out the water with Sheen hanging on and he shakes his head. KVD products-"It's got my name on it...need I say more." Commercial: KVD pitching and flipping on a boat, then he turns to look at the camera, still fishing, says the slogan "KVD products...It's got my name on it...need I say more," and just as he finishes it he pulls a giant fish into the boat. Meanwhile Dale Earnhardt is doing doughnuts in a grassy field in the background. Lazer Trokar-"So sharp you won't feel the hook sticking out of you neck." or "So sharp you feel the barbed hook in you until you have to pull it out." or "Made for your convienience, so sharp it doesn't hurt when you get stuck, so you can keep on fishing." Commercial: You see a man about 50 feet away, fishing at sunset; then they have a close up shot of his smiling face. Then the camera slowly zooms out and you see dozens of hooks dug into his arms and neck and legs, still happily casting, His next cast catches his pants and rips them off, while he just keeps casting happily. Then the image blurs and the name and slogan comes up. "Made for your convienience, so sharp it doesn't hurt when you get stuck, so you can keep on fishing." Bass Pro Shops-"The industry's best enabler, feeding your addictions since 1971." Cabelas-"You can list us as a church on your taxes, after all, you donate 10% percent of you income to us anyway." Powerbait Guy pulls into his driveway, confused at the sight of cars on his lawn and the sound of music. He sneaks into his garage and starts to don his fishing gear...SLAM the door opens and his wife is standing there. "You forgot about the party." "I was gonna go fishing," he says. Suddenly you see her smile and as the camera zooms out, see that she is wearing a Cabelas shirt, and realize she wants to go too "Well we would have to get these people out then wouldn't we...her expression his expression... She goes, grabs a couple of power bait packages from his tackle box, and walks into the house, she opens them and puts one behind the sofa, one in the refrigerator, another in the cooler and underneath the table. The guest start pinching their noses "Oh my god! What is that smell!" They start running out and a 20-something woman walks up to the wife, "MOM! What did you do?!" Then you see the husband and wife drive away, a boat in tow and hear an announcer say "Power Bait, Holy Crap it stinks." or "Powerbait...It'll clear out a room."
  12. Pick up this book. It is one of the most comprehensive bass fishing guides I've come across. It is definitely the best way to improve your fishing skill for under $12 http://www.amazon.com/Largemouth-Bass-In-Fisherman-handbook-Strategies/dp/0929384113 Some lure references are a bit dated, but the advice, information, and strategies comprehensive and accurate. Besides, there is no shortage of new lure information on here, haha!
  13. fishing at its finest, especially when it's too hot to do anything else!
  14. Uncontrollable shaking, chattering of teeth, loss of coordination, goosebumps, slurred speech, sluggishness, loss of feeling in extremities...all are signs that you are beginning to suffer from hypothermia/frostbite and that you should seek mental counseling to find out what is wrong with you. HaHa, I'm a fishing fanatic, but I peg ice fisherman as crazy. Good luck in your endeavors, and bundle up. Tight lines!
  15. Tadaa! Learn how to find fish. Learn when presentations you can use in said setting, and learn what the conditions favor. Also...you can bug people here with PM's haha
  16. Welcome to BR, it can be a little confusing sometimes for a newbie. I ought to know, I had to teach myself as a kid. Here, this might help http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/60793-best-of-bassresourcecom/ and http://www.bassresource.com/how-to-fish/ Any questions you have, feel more than free to send me a personal message, I'd love to help any way I can. We've got plenty of knowledgeable people here who will probably be responding to this in, 5...4...3...2...
  17. If people can call chess a sport, then standards are pretty low
  18. I love flipping a rage tail anaconda from the bank...watching it fall through the twists and turns of a sunken stump is such a beautiful thing
  19. Especially when you tease through the spaces in a lily pad bed.
  20. I'm the tree's nightmare...I will get hooked in one and pull out my remington sportsman fast fixed blade, climb up the thing and get it back. you would not believ the lengths I have gone to get a lure back. (e.g. climbing 45 feet up a honey locust tree to get a rapala back. just to show you who don't know what that is...take a gander.)
  21. Well whether or not it looks like a bleeding fish may be up for debate, but the fact of the matter is that bass are specially adapted to see and distinguish red and green the best. So a red hook may just draw more attention...on crankbaits, it's a plus, if not a neccessity.
  22. I call it insanity, but I guess its a matter of semantics.
