How many secrets do fisherman keep?

Move to my neck of the woods. ;D

Mehico- here I come. Uh, :-? you do have an extra room right? If not, I'll give you time to buy a bigger house ;D ;D ;D

Learn your prey, ie........Mr. Bass, and learn the biologics of baitfish and you will unlock doors that secret baits can't.

That is a good point. Do you know any good links dealing with the biologics of baitfish (Mainly bluegill, young crappie, and shad)?

You can start by reading all the articles BR, the ultimate source for information ( and it ain 't a joke BR = best resource ) has in the home page, there 's tons of useful information that will make you a better and more consistent angler. Other things come from observation, listen to what the lake is telling you, water temperature, water clarity, weather today, wetaher the previous days, etc, etc, all those are pieces of the puzzle, tidbits of information that when you know the fish will tell you with what, where and how to catch the fish.

[Fish Chris]

As far as techniques go, I tell "pretty much" all that I know ;-)

On the other hand, as far as giving away my favorite big fish spots, heck no. I figure, most of my spots are fished heavily anyway..... but ususally with small to medium sized fish, techniques. No since quadrupleing the number of Huddlestons being thrown on my big fish spots. On the other hand, if a guy gets out there and covers the whole lake a hundred times over, and deduces down to those same spots anyway, then he earned the right to those spots just like I did, and my hats off to him.

Peace,

With you guys,I'll spill my guts with what little I know.Locally,if you tell where you're catching your lunkers,the next time you go fishing the lake will be overrun with bassboats.I don't mind giving tips and advice,but I'm not telling where my honey holes that I've spent hundreds of mornings getting up at 3 AM to develope to every Tom,Dick, and Harry who for the most part sleeps in every morning and horns in on hot spots.

I am with Rattlinrogue....not going to spill my honey holes but will give some advice. Over the last say three months, been spending A LOT of time over at my bait shop and have been learning MANY secrets and how to fish amost every bait that I can think of for softbaits...and a popper. I share my secrets with these two guys over there who may be like 25-30ish or older and they share their secrets. One of the guys knows more so it's cool. I just learned how to fish two new baits and another secret to attract more fish today when I went fishing for my tournament for tomorrow! What goes around comes around. But be very careful who you share with.

I wont go blabbing during a tournament, but other than that...I don't care who knows what.
