Catch and Grease

What are you laughing about? Is what he said not true??? Oh then I guess we shouldn't worry about lead after all, because there isn't any around us

Lead weights have been used for YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS, we don't have bass with arms and legs yet so I don't see a problem... I see no decline in bass health in all these years. Or any fish really

Not everyone has money just a lying around. If you can afford to not use lead then good for you, I can hardly afford gas money to go fishing everyday and rage craws to catch my fish... Let alone paying more than 2$ a weight.

Yeah I want to try it hopefully its better now

Lol Basically what he said was, your ignorant and don't care about your waters, and you are hurting the fish on purpose and should be ashamed, but not trying to call you ignorant.... Lol wat?

100 1/4oz lead weights is 25lbs? I've been doing math wrong all these years... On a more serious note, its actually only 1.56lbs 100 ÷ .25oz = 25oz 25oz ÷ 16oz = 1.56lbs. 16oz in a pound buddy

4-6ft visibility is pretty clear in my book...

Not gonna lie, that little bit made me laugh haha

Today didn't go near as good as yesterday, but still caught a few, this was the biggest so no hawgs sadly but he was caught on a buzz bait too! I got probably 15 strikes at the top water but couldn't hook up, im sure some were chain pickerel too.

It could be worse, talk to the "lake association president" and see if he can talk sense into the litterbugs. Some people honestly don't think they are doing anything wrong and will stop if asked.... Or they will just blow it off and continue to litter lol

Sadly there are some places you just can't get a S-bill through... Like that tall needle grass, spinner baits are perfect for that stuff

I think they may at one time had been sold as "zetabait ding-a-lings" but I guess that mold is then only way to get some now and I'm not about to start pouring my own plastics haha

Yeah the academy line of square bills are great and can be bought with or without rattles and have lots of colors to choose... I agree with using 20-30lb braid...

generally I'm using shallow running square bills.... But there are plenty of deeper diving squarebills.

I would change it just to be safe.... If you pick up a spool of the line you want and get a bigger spool of cheap mono and use backing you could fill more than one reel with that one spool of good line.... If you don't know what backing is or a knot to tie it to the main line just Google it haha

Gotta love a 12" Mann's jelly worm paddle tail!!

Lol awhile back I was sparring with some dude and he put me in a arm bar, he was new so I didn't want to look like a loser getting beat by this newbie, I didn't tap and SNAP CRACKLE POP and the back of my hand is touching my triceps... Just kidding it wasn't that bad but in did break my elbow or something like that... And now I can't straighten my left arm out all the way... Hey man if you get on runners world.com and join the forums and read up you could start running on roads and build your strength back up! Its the bass resource of running lol

Oh shoot... I didn't see the 4OZ part, I change my answer to banjo minnow! Haven't used ethier before though

Texa - pose, skin hook, whatever you wanna call it haha Its just where when you texas rig your baits you push the hook all the way out the other side and barely tuck it back in the bait, that way when the fish bites your bait the hook pops out of the bait by itself and its easier to get a good hook set.

I fish waters with lots of chain pickerel and they can make you sick from losing tungsten when punching pads and grass...

Yea that's how I caught these, I'd rather use a soft plastic as a buzzbait anyways... Especially around the thicker stuff I was fishing in today, it just comes through the junk great. Its just really important IMO when doing this to skin hook your baits or you'll lose more fish

Well to each their own, I have yet to try it so I have no opinion.

Welcome to the forums, who knows maybe you just started a new chapter of your life, you'll have pictures up of you holding a limit of 5-10lbers in no time!
