I Agree with LBH, But as i said in my earlier comment these guys went to do it intentionally or just were not considerate, I have talked to some jet skiers on my lake and they respect us fisherman, Since only yell at true Jerks, I have had some guys slow down when they come past and i say hi and then when they are a good distance away they go on again.

I had a friend of mine that had a jetskier making a video jumping over waves and such, he wasnt watching and almost ran into my friend boat, the skiers didnt even say a thing, so he tok his crankbait, and whipped a long cast and took the jetskier right off his jetski!!! then turned on the yamaha 250 and jetted outta their before they even new what hit'em/ Also i had a 22 foot wakeboarding boat making BARGE Waves at my little 12 footer and almost fell outta my boat, he was going inbetween me and shore when i was fish a drop-off. So i saw his same boat and same guy in his yard out on the lake so i fished his dock extensively, then ticked him off when i threw a jig close to his boat, he yelled at me so i just kept almost hitting his boat with my jig fish the boat lift, then i caught a fish off of it and had to get it off the boat lift and my boat slightly touched his boat and he came down swaring at me mad as hell, i told him that if he showed me some respect out on the water then i would show some respect for him and his boat and he was even madder and i just drove away. The look on his face was unforgettable ;D

thanks for the sinking ratio tips, Raul you should make some of your own lures, If you did i sure would buy them.

I thought deadsticking was thinking it sat for about 15 seconds, i found out that it can even go for a minute, a guy in our club won a tournament with deadsticking a senk for 45 seconds on the outside if the pads and had almost a 20 pound, 1 day sack

Here is there homepage: http://www.bumblebeeboats.com/ , They seem like real nice Boats.

I agree with everstarts, They are in the bargain Basement but i can fish all day on them, optima Makes AWESOME EXPENSIVE batteries but they do make some bad batteries, When you let it sit for too long without a charge the Gell Gumms up, and it loses its Power, atleast thats what the guy at Autozone Told Me after we bought a Optima form him and couldnt even Start the Engine or Run the trolling motor on 100%. So he Gave us a full refund plus $50 To go buy 4 New Everstart Batteries, 3 for my Stepdads Boat and 1 for mine.

Also Strike King Makes their 3X Soft Plastics, make sure u dont mix them in a bag with any other worms.

I need to learn a little bit more versitility and some more deeper water techniques.

Welcome, you'll Be Glad.

I would be doing something like that but our computer Did some recovery type thing and all of the Crapp is off it but it cant open up any pictures, files or programs except for the internet.

Jeese Chris, you Could be making some serious Money Writing books and filming a TV Show!!LOL!! Could Be like Bill Dance without the Private Pond and The Infomercial Like Structure!!LOL

That smallie is huge, I do it to my friends when i know certian docks hold fish and i tell them i will catch a fish off this dock and i do, they think i am crazy for fishing so much i can point out which docks in my home lake which produce fish and ones that dont.

I use it all times of the year, i just change he baits that i use them with, during the summer a long 8 inch worm is good or a creature bait, winter time if you want to catch fish use a big bulky bait that resembles a forage fish.

I just wanted to tell all of you that without you guys and this forum i would not know half of the stuff i now know, THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL OF YOUR VALUABLE INFORMATION AND TIPS

I had a fun year, 1 tourny left, and broke personal records, here it goes: 4th place in AOY standings (1 tournament to go) 2nd in rookie of the year so far Clinched JR AOY 3rd place Duck lake/MARCH 4th place/Big Fish Riffe Lake/ June 5th place Jr. Bassmasters State Championship $ made so far: $200 Big LM: 6-13 Record Big SM: 5-8 Record One more tournament to go and i am having a blast, heading out tomoroww to slam some lunker sized smallmouth.

SowBelly, the hunt for the world record largemouth bass. It is an awseome book on haw obsessive the strive is to break the world record. Also The Diary Of a bass pro with Joe thomas was a great book

I have a pair of sospenders, They are great for comfort and when you DO need to wear your life jacket, When fishing a main lake point in 4-5 foot white caps and 40 mile an hour wind, You can easily fish.

Great post Raul, i enjoyed reading and learning from it!

What i do is bring along a lighter and then it takes 15 seconds to melt the holes back together and they are as good as new!

Solar bat sunglasses are $66 at BPS, they are awesome.

Timber tiger cranks and Luhr Jensen hot lips are great for getting through brush.

I use a polamar knot for everything.

I try and get my friends into fishing and just go "Fishing", no specific species for them. Just go out with a big rooster tail and fish. Then i switch them over to bass after they realize they fight better.

Make sure to spool up with some braided line, youll need it. To learn how to fish a jig: The post before me give you all you need, except for the time it takes to learn it. If you truly want to fish a jig right, you have to go out 2 or 3 times and fish it ALL Day.

I would give it a 10/10 rating. It is a great book. I went into it knowing that it wasnt really informative, so it was what i expected, awesome. It truly shows the agany and pain, and happiness that pro fishing brings. i would recommend this book to anybody.
