Guest the_muddy_man Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Hey Fellas Ive been spending some non fishing time at the lake Just watching minnows I watch them swim ball up and watch small bass clobber them and try to observe the ones that are getting picked off Then I get my rod with a number 9 Rapala on it and try to imitate the motion and the flash these minnows show I have been learing how to use more than the " Stock action" of these lures and I swaer its improving my fishing Quote

Super User dodgeguy Posted June 8, 2006 Super User Posted June 8, 2006 nothing goofy about it.i play with lures in the bath tub sometimes. Quote
DDbasser Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 I agree, not goofy at all. The more you make your presentaion different than everyone else's and the more lifelike you can make it the more fish you'll put in the boat. Quote
Super User Matt Fly Posted June 8, 2006 Super User Posted June 8, 2006 That is the one key KVD has over his competitors, he knows the bait, and how to get that spinner, minnow baits to working. Nothing wrong with "going back to school". Hookem Matt Quote

Poor Richard Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 My Dad, bless his soul insisted experience was the best teacher. I was a very snotty kid and aways replied that yes, but she killed all her students. I preferred research. Studying your endeavor is always a good idea, and I appreciate this additional insight--besides, it is fun. I watched a bass trying to snipe some small (stunted) spawning bluegills the other day. They knew he was there. There were just messing around. He would wait under the lily pad; they would do their thing; he would make a half-hearted attack; they would scatter; they'd start over again. I wonder if fish laugh at each other as well as at me? -------------------------- You can't see under the water until you know what's there, says Poor Richard. :-/ Quote
IneedAnewScreenName9886691 Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Not at all Muddy! You can find me in the bottom of my pool looking at worms and creature baits etc with a mask. LOL Quote

Rattlinrogue Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Nothing goofy about that.I throw new lures in my front yard trying to get just the right action that will entice the neighbor's cat to bite.Landing and unhooking them can be hell,though. Quote
