Sleepy Creek lake here i come, wish me luck fellas...ill need it

I'm trying out war eagles tomorrow. The way I see it, spinnerbaits don't get inspected by bass (maybe if trailing from the back)...they could never check out the detailing of the jighead. Skirt/blade performance is much more important.

carp will give off a bronze/red color

fish are capable of being conditioned.

i dont know what an alien space ship is...but after being abducted once Id be much more hesitant about lights in the sky

Some good info, thanks

I try to be as close as possible. I bought some 20 pound the other day, when I probably should have went with 17, but I haven't had any problems.

Im in a similar situation. What do yall know about 94 409 javelins? one near me for 10 grand and a lot of options.

You can only take 3 rod/reel combos out on the water with you. What do you take or how are you using them? I ask this as I'm interested in upgrading my gear but not sure what to focus on. I have a couple of medium action spinning rods with 12# line on that do everything, but nothing well. Also, I have one 7' medium Abu Garcia Vendetta baitcaster that makes a very good spinnerbait/crankbait rod. In fact it's such an upgrade that my spinning gear feels obsolete. I'm thinking of picking up a heavy jigging/frogging rod, keeping the abu garcia, and keeping one of the spinning rods for soft plastics.

Hobie... but the pro angler is 3,000+ If you can afford to buy a $3,000 kayak all up front (most stores won't do financing) you can probably afford to finance a cheap bass boat. From what I understand, getting an expensive kayak is best if you are taking it on lakes/rivers/ocean and saving tons of money by not hauling a big boat around.

I won't lie, we weren't sure what we were getting into. Should be more experienced this year.

Hey, I'm a new member from Morgantown WV. Been lurking this website for a couple months now trying to soak up any tips I could. I have been fishin' since I could hold a pole. I grew up in the EP (Eastern Panhandle) with the South Branch of the Potomac and Sleepy Creek Lake to fish. But since moving to Morgantown for school and beyond, my fishing has died down. Not having a fishing partner (my dad) around and not having any boat, it's difficult to fish the solid bass lakes in the area (Tygart, Stonewall Jackson) from the shore. Was hoping that joining this community would help light a fire under me to get back on the water. Looking forward to BS'ing with ya'll.
