Would like to see pics of the 683. It is the normal casting rod and not the crankbait series, correct?

Thanks,

Mike

GITBIT

I am interested in the 683. What is the condition of rod and where are you located?

Thanks,

Mike

GITBIT

I do not have an hour meter. I have owned the boat for most of its life. I was the second owner and purchased around 1997. You will have a hard time finding a boat of this age in this condition. I do not have service records. It was serviced recently and I never go more than a year and a half with o...

Bump...

GITBIT

Pearl white super fluke-slow and subtle.
5in. Watermelon Blk Flake Senko-slow and subtle.
Chartreuce Shad Spinner Bait-Cover water quickly.

If its the dead of winter, add in a dart head.

Any time I am having trouble getting things going I turn to these.

Holy cow Joe!!!! That is an awsome fish. Congrats.

Go to Bass Boat Central and check out their for sale section towards the bottom the BBC Boards section. A buddy of mine just bought some parts from a guy parting out an Optimax. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info Mark. I think I feel a sore throat coming on. That seems pretty deep for this time of year. What phase of the spawn do you think those fish were in? I assume those were jig fish, right?

Mike

GITBIT

Their summer moss worms and salt and pepper sharks were awesome. Would love to get my hands on them again especially with that scent they put on those baits. I had a ton of confidence throwing their stuff.

Mike

GITBIT

Great job Randy. Long time no see. Good luck.

I have been experimenting with a Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper cut down a bit. Any opinions? Very new to chatterbaits, but the Revenge Bluegill looks awsome. I put a sprayed grass skinny dipper on it. Love the way it looks, now I just have to fish it. I have adopted Gary Kleins trailer hook phi...

GITBIT

Just saw the other post. Never mind. Cool idea.

GITBIT

Watching Aaron spray the water with a spray bottle. Is it a soapy mixture to break the surface tension so the pollen will disperse? Looked strange seeing him do that on Bass Cam.

Mike

GITBIT

Way to go Roy!!!

If you are looking for the spoons, Blade Runner Tackle makes them. Rick also makes a bunch of other cool stuff. I love his heavy spinnerbaits as well as his swimbait heads.

What!? No Girls Gone Wild video shoots at Clear Lake this year?

Anyone know what the water temp has been before the cold front hits?

Mike

GITBIT

Seems like this always happens on Spring Break. Driving 6 hours to Clear Lake on Wednesday. Planning on fishing 3 days. Of course the weather has to turn cold and rainy. What do you think this weather will do to the bite? Gonna be some cold nights, cloudy, and rain. Any suggestions that might help s...

GITBIT

Your brand does stink. I can almost smell you from here.

GITBIT

GITBIT

Check out the guide on the tip. The older rods had tips that had sharp edges that could damage your line. The newer models have corrected this problem. Just make sure the one you buy has the upgraded tip guide. Seem to be nice rods for the price. I would consider the spinnerbait rod and the swimbait...

GITBIT

How often should you buy new scents/attractants? Do they break down over time? Stored in the boat, they get a lot of heat exposer in the garage. Pro Cure, Smelly Jelly, Bang, ect. Just wandering when/if I should buy new stuff?

Thanks,

Mike

GITBIT

That is why you always reel in your spook fish extra slow. I have actually had a striper eat a spot I had hooked. Unfortunately I hooked the fish on a dart head.

Mike

GITBIT

Your typical baits for small spots will work. Drop shot, dart heads, small jigs etc. Don't be afraid to throw a jerk bait or flukes. Not sure of the water temp, but you should check out some of the main lake pockets for active fish as well as any sandy banks with cockle burs. There are some largemou...

GITBIT

You are correct sir. The dates were similar. Still good info though.

Mike

GITBIT

Watch the Pure Bass video clips on the West Coast Bass web site. This is recent footage. Has some decent info in my opinion. Hopefully I can make the trek this year. Come on Spring Break!!!

Mike

GITBIT

I have heard people reference minnows, but what are they? Anyone know the species of minnow? I have seen some sort of small larvae in the mouths of some of the fish I have caught there. Mostly in the smaller fish.

Mike

GITBIT

What is the major forage in Eastman? I am a little baffled as to what is the bait fish of choice for the large mouth there. I was also wandering if anyone has caught any spotted bass rumored to have been introduced there?

Thanks,

Mike

GITBIT

My reels are Citica 200D and 200DSV.

Thanks,

Mike

GITBIT

Just wandering if you can add bearings to the 2nd generation Citica?

Thanks,

Mike

GITBIT

This is a new bait to me. Could some of you give your opinion of how someone new to the bait should get started? What are the basic must haves to start an arsenal of chatter baits and trailers? Don't want to waste money on junk I don't need.

Thanks,

Mike

GITBIT

I have a bunch of copolymer line (Flourocarbon Coated) as well as some mono that I keep stored inside the house in a plastic tote. Some of the line is a few years old now. Should I toss it and start over or should I still use it. It is stored away from heat and sun light. Does age cause the line los...

GITBIT

If you are undiciplined like me, the 5:1 is fine. I have a 5:1 Curado on my spinnerbait rod. The slower reel allows me to reel as fast as I want and still keep the bait in the strike zone. I rarely burn a spinnerbait so I have no need for a faster reel. If you need to burn the blade then put in on y...

GITBIT

I have heard tale of puked up catfish fry in fishermen's livewells recently at Clear Lake. The variety of forage in that lake is amazing.

Mike

GITBIT

Shaun,

How long do we have to wait? Can't wait to find out. Millerton needs some love. It's no Delta or Clear Lake, but it is one of the few lakes we have close by. Keep us posted.

See ya,

Mike

GITBIT

Go to Tackle Underground and do a search. I saw a video on there where a guy uses a hemostat (curved surgical clamp) clamped to the eye of the hook and dipped it into a homemade fluid bed. Seemed to work pretty good. I have the directions on how to build the fluid bed but have not built it yet. Look...

GITBIT

Alright all you Millerton bashers. It may still be the "Home of the quarter pounder", but it is still better than it use to be. Start out with reaction baits. Slow roll a spinner bait, finesse rip with a spinning rod, flukes, and top water for sure. If you hook a small spot on a top water,...

GITBIT

488v for sure. One of the best hulls Ranger has ever made. Not fast, but certainly a smooth and safe ride.

Mike

GITBIT

In an earlier post, most agreed that McCoy Mean Green floated like mono.
I was wondering if coating nylon with flourocarbon causes the line to sink and thus not be good for top water applications.

Thanks,

Mike
