drove to the farm pond and got there around 7:30. i caught one fish right off the bat (dink) and then it was slow for a little while. then i caught this 4lb pig right next to the dock on an original floating rapala: the bite was pretty slow but we were catching fish constantly the whole time. here are my dad's trophies of the day: 3lb 2oz: 2+lb: all in all it was a good day, i enede up with 6 bass and my dad got 7. and i got to practice driving.

rapalas

i really like wake cranks. great when bass are up shallow over weeds or something like that. i dont like the manns -1 though, i really like the bandit footloose. in the summer, when the farm ponds are only a few feet deep, sometimes this is the only crankbait i can catch em on.

nice fish! but i always wondered, how do you take pics of multiple fish at the same time if you release them all?

I'da pushed him in ;D

way to go paul!!! i love gods swimbaits! they freaking work!!!!! most people dont like using them but i LOVE em! so fun to use. nice catch paul!

hey wow this is so cool thanks for the link!!!!!!!!

;Dyou guys are funny! ;D just got back from day 2 of 4 with driving with the instructor and i must say it went MUCH better than wednesday. i was a nervous wreck on wednesday cuz it was my first time on the roads, but i was much less nervous and much more aware today. im driving to the farm pond tomorrow morning for some good fishin

that jointed one is...interesting. what did you use for the tail? and i agree with mattlures...you should only put the photo on the sides, and maybe just a tiny bit over the edges, when you try to wrap it all the way down it gets those little creases all over it. the popper looks like a fish catcher for sure!

haha...that would certainly help ;D

...ugh. i started drivers ed on monday, got my learner's permit today, and drove with the insturctor yesterday and im going to do it again tomorrow. this is why i havent been on much this week and i wont be on much next week. any safe driving tips?

Yes that is definitley a problem with your rod, not the line. monofilament line should never damage any guide, so the guide must be very poor quality.

i used to slip the hook under their gill, but they would often go wild and slash all around, so i didnt wanna risk hurting their gills, so i went home and sharpened the hook to a point (they usually come dull) and now i just poke it thru their bottom lip. much easier and more secure.

ok thanks. on the 200, it just slides right out, so i didnt want to force it out of the 100, for fear of damaging it, but i guess thats what ya gotta do.

on my citica 200D, when i open the side plate, i can just grab the spool and pull it right out. when i open the sideplate of the 100DSV, i can grab the spool, but it doesnt come out? how do i remove the spool?

Saved a copy

it might not be a revo. did you see where it said revo? because at the dicks around here i have seen abugarcia silver max reels/lightning rod combos. and the silver max's didnt have red spools either. the silver max and revo do look similar, so it might not even be a revo. either way thats still a good deal because i hear the silver max's are pretty good, and the lightning rods are probably the best sub $100 rod i have used.

great fish!!!

several yamamoto baits are going for $0.88 a pack at the Cabelas Bargain Cave. just thought i'd let yall know

my Berkley 50lb digi scale is accurate to within one ounce when i weighed several grocerey items (5lb bag of sugar, 2lb bag of flour, etc.)

;D Sorry, that just struck me as funny! Get 'em next time dude! lol, no apology, it is pretty funny. the best part of the night was that i came home knowing not to waste my time there too often. ;D

thats a smallmouth right?

it sucked.

not sure about depth, but i know they change colors with their surroundings. bass in murky water are pale, bass in clear water will be darker, and bass holding in weeds and other dense veggies will be darker.

alllllllllllllllll the time at the local park..... :-[
