Just be prepared to deal with all of the Striper idiots. They own the lake this time of year you know, and will stop ANYWHERE to fish. Don't be surprised to round a corner in a narrow creek and see...

If I want movement, then I add a Yamamoto Twin Tail, or just fish the Hula Grub (dying the skirt black) and that has worked better than any jig for me since the mid 80's. If it ain't broke...don't...
I don't have a favorite, because I really don't like finesse style fishing. I prefer power fishing, and covering water with big Crankbaits or Spinnerbaits as my first two choices. After that,...
I wish every day had weather like that. The worse the weather, the better the bite for big fish.
Nice fish http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif
Tuning a crankbait is easy, and they all need to be tuned from time to time, just as spinnerbaits (except titanium SB's)
Using a pair of needlenose pliers, (just the tip) grab the wire that the...
Yamamoto Hula Grub
Yamamoto 10 Series Single Tail Grub
Each brand works well under the right conditions, and no one brand will always work. Of course you don't need every brand made either.
The best all around, day in and day out is the Rat-L-Trap,...
Normally I use 10-12# P Line XX.
I have used all graphite crankiing rods too, and they did have better feel, but when I was playing large fish near the boat and they made a run, the rod would not give like the glass and the hooks...

I started fishing a Trap as a kid when my father taught me how to use them in th late 60's.
I always keep at least two 3700 boxes stuffed with lipless baits. I use very few colors, but I di use a...
I would also fish it in prespawn. Here Mike, that would be late Feb - March. Find the backs of some shallow muddy pockets and fish the west or northwest banks that have some depth close to them. That...
The clearer the water, the faster you work your baits, especially topwaters.
The Sugoi is one of my favorites, but the old reliable Chug Bug accountd for several big fish every year as well.

Hey Russ, glad to see you post over here http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif
Over the years, the spinnerbait has become my "Go-To" bait when I need a big fish. Of course I use other baits...

I remember when that lure first came out they had an issue with that and a lot of people were returning them. If I remember correctly, Rapala replaced them all, and actually tried to get the bad ones...
In order of preference
1 - Jig
2 - Small worm on jighead or brass and glass
3 - Dropshot
4 - Spoon
This time of year I prefer a baitfish color to start with, and will try several, but the ones I tend to rely on most are Lavender Shad, White/Chartreuse back, Chart Blue Back, and Chart/Black back....
Check with Bobby Jacobs and ask him if V&M still makes the 9" lizards in Mototr Oil. Also you may be able to find them from Zoom as well.
Tony is right. If you are fishing weeds etc you definately need a heavy weight to get through the mat, but a heavier weight works best for other reasons too.
If you are fishing a worm or jig with...
It was great to get a visit from Paul L and Don D on Wednesday evening. They stopped by to say hello and see how I was feeling and also brought a nice ham for us to enjoy. Just wanted to say Thank...
They also sell a lot of consignment boats as well as boats that were trade ins at local dealers. Most of the local dealers here will take trade ins but don't sell them on their lots and only keep new...
