All you have to do is cut the tail up the bone carefully with a sharp knife or razor blade. remove the bone then take the tail and salt all the skin. Leave it to dry for a few days and shake the salt off. Now it will be preserved and wont rot.

X-RAP, X-RAP, X-RAP!!! Switch up your retrieve till they bust it. You'll slay em all day! Oh yea, did i mention an X-rap?

Ok, so i was out freazing my butt off fishing today and began thinking back to the summer when I would haul hog bass out of the slop on a Snag Proof Mouse. Then I figured why not go to the pet store and buy a dozen mice, nose hook 'em and toss 'em out to do their thing. People feed them to snakes so why not fed them to bass? The only problem would be hooking the little buggers without getting tore up. Tell me what you think

You might be a hardcore bass fisherman if..... -You spend more at Bass Pro Shops than you do on groceries -The neighboors ask if your ok when your flipping a pitching to hoola hoops in 2 feet of snow -if you wear a fishing vest to work -if you cant put on a pair of pants with out finding rubber worms, grubs and the occasioinal crank bait in your pocket -If you call people "soft jerk baits" out of anger -if you would really really really rather be fishing -if you wonder how you could dam the creek down the road to make an excelent lake -if you think like a fish 24/7 -if you dont just power fish but you power eat, shower, walk, pee, breath and just about power everything else -If you've ever asked your girl friend why she's being such a crank bait -if bassresource.com is your home page -if your friends claim you were saying "Bass with teeth!" in your sleep (true story lol) -if you've ever hooked yourself in the face with a spinner bait and actually considered leaving it in for a while because it looks awsome! -if your have permanant bass thumb -if Keven Vandam and Rick Clunn are you heroes -If you went through dozends of Rattle Traps to find the ones with the best sound -If you can carry on a two sided conversation with a bass Just a few of my ideas, lets hear some of yours

I just finished reading it also and i loved it. Other goods books are Think Like a Fish by Tom Mann and I think it called Bass Master or something like that by Sean Grigsby. Both of these are great reads.

I do a lot of bank fishing too and ive been slaughtering the bass on a small white spinner bait. Burn it around any where that the bait is holding. Also burning a Chrome rattle trap hase produced some awsome hits. When the conditions are right ive had great luck on a buzz bait too.

Deffinatly give it a try! When the spinner and buzz bait hits started to die down for me i went irght to the x rap and got my numbers right back up. This is a killer bait but jsut remember to adjust your retrieve untill the bass tell you what they want. I have the best luck on the smaller size rap.

Ive been casting a Boo Yah Pond Magic spinner bait on spinning tackle and having 25+ fish days on some of the ponds ive been fishing. I especially love burning it just under the surface.

Ive been buzzin a lot this fall. There are several key factors to take into effect.. Forage- you want the bait to match the size of the bait the bass a keyed on to. Ive been using almost completly a Boo Yah pond Magic buzz bait because I seem to get more hits on the smaller size. Weather- On clear/ partly cloudy days i use a white or smoke/grey color. When its overcast i go yellow. Also take into acount if its cold front or post cold front conditions. I burn the buzz bait under these conditions to get reaction strikes from other wise inactive fish Locate the bait- Its very important to find where the shad are holding. If there in shallow grass thats what you nedd to be looking for for example. This fall ive been finding a lot of bait holding on catails and stumps so that where in pitching 90% of the time Listen to the bass- let the bass tell you what they want. Some days the want it just crawled along and other days they may want a varying speed. Its key to expirement and let the bass tell you what they want A little trick i learned from an old timer was to drill several small holes in the blade. This little modification can make all the difference some days. Dont be afraid to pitch the bait into the tightes little places you can find. My biggest bass this year came from the heart of an overhanging bush that i bearly squeezed the bait in.

Well, here in PA the seasons coming to an end. Every year i like to try to master a new technique or a new lure. This season it was spinner baits, which i have a pretty good understanding and amount of confidence with now. Next year i want to have confidence in jigs, which i have very very little in now. I was just wondering if you guys have any good advice on how to fish jigs or any good tricks. keep in mind i do 75% of my fishing from shore. Thanks a lot for your help guys!!

I live in PA and alredy ordered the complete first season of The Bass Pros to help ease the pain. Other than that i read all i can, flip and pitch in the snow, reorganize my box 10 or 15 times, and any onther fishing related thing i can.

mostly just structure (or lack of) and depth.

Soft plastics came very natural to me. But when i got tired of catching bass after bass in some of the local lakes i fish i was inspired to try getting reaction strikes.(mostly due to an article i read by Mike Iconelli) When I started burning rattle traps and spinner baits it all just kinda connected for me.

The lake ive been fishing a lot this fall has one major cove. The bait fish all moved into this cove early to mid fall and ive been smashing the bass on spinner baits and buzz baits. But the problem is a cold front rolled in about a week ago. The first day after it settled all the bait was gone from the shallows. I still got 7 on rattle trap but i went from getting 25+ a day. The temp has been dropping and it has been raining pretty steady since then. I was just wondering if the bait was going to move back in after it warms up or if the feeding frenzy is pretty much done for the year. I live in PA. Any help is greatly appriciated.

boo yah pond magic spinner baits in white have been slaying them in the pond i have been fishing. Try burning it just under the sirface. I usually dont have much luck in them but i have been averaging about 15 bass a day on them, lots of fun to fish too!
