Psssh, give me a shout when they buy you a case of Mad Dog Banana Red. Pure class.

If anyone knows the pain of catching a fish and thinking/wishing it were 8lbs, that would be me. Ive got a couple pics that I could probably pass off as DD fish, both were mid 7's.

I'd say 7 is a good guess. It doesn't carry the "fat neck" that you see on DD fish. I'd love to tell you it's 10 but I just can't. Hell of a fish regardless.

Prop and a little motor at that, so won't be fighting any strong currents.

How fast does it sink? I haven't fished one. For a couple bucks more, I like the 316 Rising Son or one of the Osprey line thru's. Just a couple other options to think about.

Think of a rock quarry. Kinda the same thing but really nutient rich water.

If I were to launch my boat at Williamsport, how much area is there to fish around there? I can't really tell much from satellite maps. Obviously the power plant would be the furthest downstream. How far up the Conococheague can I go, if any? How far up the river past the launch?

He fishes phosphate pits. Would I fish them? Hell yeah. Do I blame him for filming a fishing show there? Nope. I don't believe he leads anyone to believe that he is on a public lake fishing alongside you and me. There is no doubt though that he could launch at a public lake and whoop up on 99% of the guys out there fishing I believe. Watch for the entertainment value, filter out the blatant product pushing and see it for what it is. A fishing show.

Lose the rig you have there. Not saying it won't work but it's pretty visible. Take your top bait and tie a palomar knot, leaving a long tag end. You can then tie a weedless bait or jig on the bottom if you choose or go the more traditional route and use a drop shot weight.

I hate seeing that question posed. It's like a challenge is issued to see who can outdo the next.

If you can get down into Blood and launch, you'll catch fish. There is an area near the mouth on the main lake that we sat and caught easily over 50 fish, all three species. It also seemed like every point you pull up on in Blood (and there are a lot of them) had fish on it. Fish the point, move back into the cut and fish the junk in the back, repeat.

If you're going to use something pre-rigged and on the lower end of the cost spectrum, I implore that you at least use a better constructed bait. The River2Sea Live Eye Bottom Walker would serve you better than any of the Storm baits. Period. I'm a big proponent of acquiring the best baits you can afford. You truly get what you pay for with regards to swimbaits.

Hell, right outside of moore's is a great place to fish. If you can, head down to Blood River. We did well down there last time I fished.

10-2

I just threw up a little.

That didn't take long. Congrats.

Dark Trout is a general favorite but I agree that color is the least important aspect of the Slammer.

Here's another thread. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/114190-reel-magic-vs-kvd-lure-and-line/

I dont suppose you happen to see any Deps 250 Slide Swimmers or Silent Killers floating around over there?

That's rough man. I know you were tight. I'm sure there's plenty of brown 10's to keep him busy now.

Ever wonder why your line is so limp after spraying it with Reel Magic? Reel Magic is a petroleum based product. It's because it strips the outermost layer from your line, making it limp. Eventually, as J said, you either get mush or you get a line that is dangerously brittle. I use the term "dangerously" because the baits I'm throwing ain't cheap nor are they light. One wrong move and an expensive bait is going flying, never to return. Line and Lure uses water to deliver its fomula onto the line. As the water evaporates, it leaves the actualy conditioner on the line. Petrol products and line is no bueno.

Anyone know how Reel Magic works? If you do, you'll stop using it pretty quickly.

Not this guy.

I would be. LOL
