squid Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 THEY BOTH WIN.....BUT YOU NEED TO FIND THEM....POWER FISHING Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 5, 2007 Super User Posted March 5, 2007 I would think finesse would be the key to catching little bitty 3/4 lb 12" bass, but I could be wrong. : Quote
Super User 5bass Posted March 5, 2007 Super User Posted March 5, 2007 I would think finesse would be the key to catching little bitty 3/4 lb 12" bass, but I could be wrong. : Are you still stuck on the Pittsburgh Classic? ;D Quote
bassmaster8100 Posted March 5, 2007 Author Posted March 5, 2007 In a tournament Im looking for something alot bigger than 3/4 lb.....lol Quote

I will not bring it up again and although I can't change my vote, I'll change my response: "Mixture of both" To be consistant in tournament competition, a fisherman must be versatile. Quote
Rattlinrogue Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Many are won with powerfishing techniques,and a lot are won using finese fishing.So I'll go with a mixture(although probably more are won with powerfishing). Quote
frogtog Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 It's those dog days of summer when I have to go with the finess on lakes. On the rivers were there is less boat traffic I still power fish. 8-) Quote
bassfishingnerd Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I find myself using the "tip-toe" method when the water gets hot or the fish are getting pounded! Quote
Hale Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 VERSATILITY! Take any Elite pro that truly puts themselves into a specific category he doesnt win tournaments. KVD has been deemed a power fisherman...he will tell you thats not true since at anytime hes going to switch up to what is working. Quote
BassChaser57 Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 It seems that power fishing outfishes finesse on the trail but finesse seems to work better for me. Maybe I need power fishing lessons? How about lessons on Lake Baccarac, any teachers available? 8-) Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 12, 2007 Super User Posted March 12, 2007 Play nice... Hale's post was edited and three others were deleted because Hale's post was referenced, not necessarily because of content, so NO ONE is getting picked on. As everyone seems to know, THE POLICY of the Forum is NOT to allow pro bashing. Everytime we have allowed it to run, it has ALWAYS run downhill. (Anyone know a plumber? He can explain what else runs downhill). So, I'm not closing the thread, but we are enforcing this policy here and on all future topics. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior Global Moderator Quote
Hale Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 I guess I worded what I meant wrong. I really wasnt bashing who I mentioned and truly like his fishing style, I just wanted to point out the bottom line stat. My apologies. (wins or no wins I would trade places with him) Quote

I WAS WONDERING WHERE MY POST WENT. OH WELL...NOW I KNOW NOT TO QUOTE HALE ANYMORE....LOL HEY...ANY TOPWATER HITS ON THOSE POPMAX'S I SOLD YA? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 13, 2007 Super User Posted March 13, 2007 I caught exactly one bass on each lure and then put then back in their boxes "for display." Around Christmas my dad gave me an old tackle box that my grandad (mother's side) had given him twenty years ago or so. In that box is a VERY used Lucky 13, original Bomber and some Mann's Jelly Worms among other things. Now I've changed my mind and plan to fish PopMax. "Experienced lures" are MUCH cooler than new, in-the-box! Quote
mark44 Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 If finnese includes a weightless senko, a jig and trailer, or t-rigging a worm/lizard etc., then I would say finnese. Quote
GobbleDog Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Finesse, then power. Try the worm, then salt the Earth with crankbaits and such. Quote
topwtr81 Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 flippin stick + 65lb power pro + jig & pig = $$$$$ Quote
Hale Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 WELL...NOW I KNOW NOT TO QUOTE HALE ANYMORE....LOL Those are true words of wisdom there! ;D ;D ;D Quote
RI_Bass_Guy Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 I would say Power fishing.. I use finesse tactics to get 5 in the boat then switch to power tactics and usually cull all of them out. Quote
Cephkiller Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 I guess that's getting old. I will not bring it up again How much you wanna bet? Quote
