  1. River monsters, bass special haha
  2. Let's try not to get this awesome thread locked guys hahaha
  3. I am by no means a experienced bream angler but I do go every now and then... I may be complety wrong but it seems like the blue gill start biting when its the middle of he day and hot outside..... That would be my only tip haha
  4. Yeah I know plenty of people who fish frogs on heavy fluro... I just prefer braid for the really thick stuff
  5. Yes, when your throwing braid you can completely disregard those line ratings on the rod... Your drag will give before your rod breaks when its working properly anyways so its nothing to worry about. IMO, the line ratings on rods now a days are really not that important even when not using braid... I go over and under the ratings on my rods all the time But if your using a stiffer pole and go way under the rating like throwing 6lb line on a rod rated for 12-20lb it could break it easier. I would worry more about going under the rating
  6. For a rod your gonna be throwing frogs and spinnerbaits on I'd go with 50lb braid, or 14lb flouro if the frog fishing isn't in heavy cover....
  7. Its like having a cheap car with expensive tires and rims lol.... Just kidding, if you like the rod then why get rid of it? I know plenty of people that use ugly sticks, no need to rush for a new rod....

  9. Try a zoom speed craw or rage craw weightless ran on top like a buzz bait! Its great for those place you cant quite get a buzz bait through!
  10. I am usually reeling it at a pretty good pace, not really burning it...
  11. Yeah I like the speed worm but its a little thicker, I like this worm because it is skinny and has a little smaller of a profile but can still kick some water and attract bass
  12. That's awesome! Hope you have plenty more days like this one.
  13. I had probably 100 of these worms and I've been using them with lots of success and really like them, I found them in my tackle box full of pretty old stuff. Anybody know the brand and if they are still being made?
  14. My friend has one of these he uses for flipping and he says he loves it and I have held it and it seems to work good and feels good.... Never really used it for more than a few hours though.
  15. I was kidding, but to say that you don't use your reel when flipping Is just false. Sure the rod is a lot more important IMO but there are some reels that are a good choice for flipping and some arent so much.
  16. Tried the weather channel app and its alright for a quick look at the weather but it doesn't go into much detail, I'm using AccuWeather now and it seems to be pretty good.
  17. What do you flip with? A cane pole?
  18. They have a square bill.... But they deflect off cover much better than cranks with rounded lips.
  19. Shimano bantam 100 haha at least that's the only 5:1 reel I own....
  20. Lol I don't like using spinner baits for them... They will just make it look like a paperclip.... Haha
  21. This is the picture, zoomed in a bit to see the fish better Edit: I've read in some places that bass can get their tails beat up from spawn and building nest, that's why you can catch males around spawn with bloody tails... Dunno how true that is but maybe this is from spawn and just hasn't healed??? This is a thread that's like 5 years old about blood on the tail that I found, pretty good read http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/78818-blood-on-tail/
  22. I was just scrolling through some pictures and saw a one of me holding a good healthy looking bass that was a couple pounds, but I happen to look at the tail and notice plenty of holes and tears in it. So you think this is just old age or is it from previous injury's most likely? Like it getting bit by a predator while young? There isn't anything that would eat the bass except other bass in my pond but it was brought over from our local lake and stocked into our pond so it could have been attacked by a bowfin/jack etc when it was young but Idk... I've seen it before but don't know if its old age or something else....
  23. http://www.bassresource.com/content/search?SearchText=summer+bass+fishing&SearchButton=Search Here this will get you started But like mentioned above summer isn't the ideal time for bank fisherman, but there will always be some bass catchable from the bank
