Bazoo

I've caught a lot of bass on soft frogs of frog color and yellow, but not of black for some reason. Maybe its because I don't tie it on enough. Confidence in the lure makes a lot of difference I think. I've used rebel poppers in silver/black and chugbugs in both chartreuse and silver/blue with success. My favorite topwater is a Heddon Spit'n image, bill dance signature in Tennessee shad. It always seems to entice. I wonder if it's because it's less common and many people don't seem to use one around here? I've had some success with buzzbaits, but I don't fish them as much as I should. The few times I tried a Devils Horse... I got skunked. Maybe I'll have to give it another go.

I've been carrying daily for over a decade. Been carrying a Ruger Blackhawk in 44 special for a couple years now. I catch some flak for carrying a cowboy gun, but that's what I like and practice with, so that's what I carry.

It is what my Dad called me. He passed away when I was 5 years old. One of my only memories of him is when he took me fishing, afterwards he cut some donuts in a field by the pond, and said "hold on Bazoo!" I can still hear his voice 35 years later. I like to learn, there ain't nothing I can't fix. Ought to work out pretty good with a couple broke down boats.

Thanks for the welcome all. I've been checking out the forum here and it seems pretty nice. Lots of information. I'm a member of several gun forums, but no other fishing forums currently.

I haven't done it personally, but I know a gent that takes his on a calm river we have around here for bass. He said it does just fine.

Howdy, I just got back into fishing after about a 10 year break. First, I lost the 2 good spots I had, and then life got in the way. Having a 4 year old son has really spurred me to get back into it, and he now loves it as much as I do. I'm into firearms, mostly lever actions and single actions. Casting and reloading are as big of passions as the guns themselves though. I just bought a Buster Boat made by Splash Marine. Its one of them plastic bass boats. Im sure yall will see me posting about it some and asking questions as they arise. I have a 16' aluminum Rich Line v bottom I'm working on too. I am mostly a bass fisherman, but I will occasionally target other species. I enjoy trying new to me lures and techniques, as well as trying out vintage and new gear. From Zebco 33's to baitcasters and spinning reels, I use it all. I also like tinkering, both on reels and lures. I'm not into making my own lures yet... but that's coming I think. Favorite lure I think is the Heddon Spit'n image with Bill Dance signature in Tennessee shad color. Second favorite is a soft body topwater frog. I've been using the lunkerhunt pocket frog and the cheap Ozark trails popper frog a lot, and tearing them up and my lily pad covered hot spot. Not to mention lots of use of a weedless rigged lizard there. I look forward to learning new stuff and hopefully finding some new fishing spots in my area. Bazoo
