That's going back in time. Thanks for the memories.

If most everyone practices catch and release. Then why aren't there plenty of big bass?

try wd-40. It has been known to be a fish attractant as well.

I fall out of my boat at least twice a year. Actually just last week I was getting it ready for a Table Rock trip and fell out of it while it sat on my drive way. Broke a couple of ribs. I fell out last year at Guntersville reaching for a lure. WT was 48 degrees. Once I even fell out while trying to connect the boat to the trailer at the end of the day. No balance what so ever.

I always take a coffee can to pee in.

I use circle hooks on my senkos. I hardly ever set the hook. It seems to me that if you set the hook you just rip it out. I let the fish hook themselves. If you feel a bump, nontypical line movement, or a heavy hit, just reel and reel. This works well, for me anyway. Good luck.

Great. Congrats

My brother n law and I fished a small pond behind his house on some common ground. I never had a day like this before for bass. In just 3 hours, from 3 pm to 6pm, I myself caught 25 bass. Everyone about a pound and very spunky. They hit everything I threw at them. Jigs, plastic worms. grubs, lizards, and every color. Nothing big but what a blast.

Whwnever you break off a rod tip do you throw the rod away or keep it and use it?

Does anyone use those feeding times that are listed in sports magazines? If so, are they very accurate? How about moon phases? Me, I just go fishing.

Congrats. A brand new fisher!!!!! (:

I'm glad you asked me if I released it. I most certainly did. I never keep bass unless I'm fishing a farm pond and the owner wants it culled. Or if they die. I haven't lost one this year . I try my best to make sure they don't.

I'll go with Jon Dutton. Aka Bassisaddicting!!! (-: I also like Bill Dance

I only have 3 lures I use when it's hot. I caught the one in my picture with one of these lures. 1. Senko 2. Senko 3. Senko PS: Did mention a senko? (-:

WOW! I know what you mean RN. My wife is 5' 11 and a person would rather french kiss a bobcat in a telephone booth than mess with her. I feel your pain. Been there to many times. Her's wishing you a speedy recovery and a safe rest of your life. Better learn how to sleep with 1 eye open.
