The very best time to try new lures is when the bite is on.

Yes. I like the structure with bushes, vegetation or stumps for cover.

I like points, primary and secondary.

I don"t catch monsters on a dropshot, but I have caught a boatload of 3-5 lb bass, both green and brown.

Nothing. I highly recommend the Maxscent Flat Worm (Black Shiner) https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Berkley_Powerbait_Maxscent_Flat_Worm/descpage-CLF.html

My dog doesn't like eggs either.

Here in the Mid South it's mostly "Sub" and Coke (all soft drinks). When I lived in Kansas City and later, Denver, the sandwich was a Hogie and the drink was "pop".

This horse has been beaten to death... Goodnight Irene.

For the most part I only honk the horn behind some silly woman on her cell phone for not turning on a light. I mean "What are you waiting on!"

I went to a Sports Show at the Ag Center here in Memphis in the fall of 1996. One of the exhibitors had a seminar demonstrating a new "worm". I don't remember the guy's name, but he was a pro. Up on stage he was flipping hookless baits into the crowd with precision! The guy was representing some company no one in this part of the country had ever heard of before. I guess they had been around for awhile out west, Arizona and The Peoples Republic of California. Nothing much special as far as I could tell. My daughter was taking riding lessons at a Hunter/Jumper club just out of town, in the country. I took her to the lessons, but sitting there for a couple of hours was incredibly boring. I starting getting to knows the owner and asked if I could fish his pond. He didn't fish and as far as he knew it had NEVER BEEN FISHED! Well, the pond was about 18 acres surrounded by grass fields, a horse farm. I was pretty excited, but I was 35 and hadn't fished much in 15 years. My gear was garage sale quality and the Zebco that came with the package probably had the original line still spooled. I had a few topwater lures that I got from my dad and a spinnerbait. I had purchased a few packs of worms and some hooks at the sports show. I decided to give these plastics a shot. The guy at the show had rigged a few for me and I thought I could handle sticking them myself. So, off I go to my daughter's lesson. In retrospect, I think these fish had never seen a lure and were probably originally stocked before the owner bought the land. Pretty much full grown and virgin. So, you probably think I'm going to tell you I caught a 10 lb bass on the first cast, but it was only about 8 on the 3rd cast. The next day I talked to a friend at work and he took me to a tackle shop and I ask him to pick out everything I needed. Now I'm geared up and ready to learn/ re-learn the sport. I told my friend about the worms, but he wasn't jazzed about the "Japanese" baits. He was not impressed with my Yamamoto Senkos or the Gamakatsu hooks. That was a very special time, I didn't really understand how important a 10 lb bass was. That's how my journey began.

"I wouldn't be considered fat if I were 6'6" tall."

I think the most important variable is the lake you fish. It has to produce BIG BASS, period. For largemouth that probably means Florida, California and Texas. Other lakes produce an occasional 10, but it's like one in a million. Here in Tennessee, Chick has dominated for nearly a decade, but it is now so crowded it's not an option for me. If smallmouth are your target, AJ has the PERFECT lake. Big, hard to access and very little pressure. He has found a little piece of paradise! For most people Erie, Millie Lac and St. Clair would be great destinations.

Keri May is one of the best anglers I have ever fished with. She and Glenn make s great team!

No, it's not restricted to summer, it's the main component year-around.

Just didn't expect to see such a good looking guy!

This is the culprit 90% of the time.
