Catch and Grease

Nice, its always fun to catch fish on new lures!

A lot of good spinnerbaits are fragile, I just look at them like I do a bag of soft plastics, as in your gonna have to buy more eventually.

welcome to the crew! Haha

I don't worry about my leader knots ethier they just are a pain to tie in my little Jon boat...

Go to bass pro shops and watch the bass in the fish tank haha

I'm sure any bass on any day would bite a bait fish that swam right past its face....

Do you guys not like using this as a main line? I really don't like leaders except for braid. I'd rather have a flouro that's good for a main line so I don't have to tie leaders.

Thin braid does not always dig in.

I've cleaned bass with multiple hooks in there stomach and a few with hooks in their lips, they were all rusted but not quite ready to fall out. The hook will eventually fall out and the fish will live as long as it isn't obstructing his ability to swallow, a gut hooked fish for example.

Today one guy put his boat by the ramp, parked it, then walked across the street to the gas station. I'm thinking, are you serious? I would have said something to him but I squeezed in my boat and didn't feel like waiting on him haha.

Im not frustrated or anything I just really wish I could have got a picture with that lunker. The lake I fish isn't know for big bass so a 5lb+ bass is very big there

Just hooked a HUGE bass. I soon as I saw it threw that crankbait right out... Had to be 8+... And my PB is 5 lbs. I just wanna go in a hole and die hahaha

Yesterday I caught a freaky eel looking thing with legs and a tiny mouth in the river! Couldn't get a picture because my phone was dead. I've never had so much trouble getting a hook out of something, that was a strong.. Well a strong whatever it was.

A few days ago I tried a rig my friend tied on for me, I can't exactly remember how he had it set up but it had to do with a slip bobber and a treble hook underneath it with just the weight of the bait we were using. Worked pretty good for some channel cat

Do you guys like this line? Its cheap so I might try some 15lb out because I want some flouro for a all around jig, soft plastics, spinnerbait setup. Or should I just stop being cheap and get some seguar invisx haha

I prefer a weightless Texas rig for senkos but lots of people on the forums like wacky rigging senkos.

In my pond square bill cranks are killer! Maybe you can try some of them

Ron with valley sports has some good reels for a great price. I just ordered a diawa tatula from him, PM him and see what he has for you!

Here in south Georiga we were fishing around a spillway and caught 45 keepers, We could have caught more but decided to head on home.

Today I probably had 4 bass hit at my crank but not even get a piece of a hook... I tried everything from slowing down, speeding up, start stop nothing seemed to work. Anybody fish with square bills and trailer hooks without messing up the action and getting hung up every cast? I figure it probably wouldn't work because I throw my squarebills into the cover and it'd probably get hung up...

When our pond at our house first got dug we wanted it stocked with bass, so at the lake we would catch bass and put them in a cooler full of cool water and they would stay in there for a couple of hours then be driven back to our house and be put in our pond. Just thought I'd share that...

I use 20 power pro super slick and it doesn't dig in unless you snag and try to pull it on max drag haha but the normal 20lb power pro does dig in....

I almost never use leaders because all the lakes and ponds I fish are 1- 1.5ft visibility. Except one place called rays mill pond thats gin clear then I'll throw one on.

It was bass for sure not small sunfish... I would fight them for a couple seconds before they got off. Thanks for the tips guys it really helped between yesterday and today I've got about 5 good bass on the mega strike Shakey head. Oh and BTW I switched to 10lb braid and it helped with my hook sets a lot!

Good deal! My Walmart doesn't have much fishing stuff but I've been to other Walmarts near lakes and rivers that carry more tackle that can have great deals sometimes...
