@Hipster, it is also not the ride of a boat that throws someone out, it is the driver

@Gary , I was not trashing Ranger, just saying they have a stress cracking problem and responding to a post that Hipster made about the ride quality of a Cat. Everyone always thinks that the boat they have is better then every other boat out there, but I am not saying my Cat is better then any other...

@Hipster, put a 20 foot Bass Cat and a 20 foot Ranger in 5 foot rollers then tell me which one you HONESTLY think handles the rough water better. I fish Toledo Bend alot, and you have no choice but run the boat lanes and 3 to 5 foot waves are really common there, so there is no way to get out of the...

I am still waiting for my boat and 45 grand, for some reason he wont email me back................ I cant believe people actually fall for that crap, a buddy of mine sold a guitar on craigslist the guy sent him a MO for 2200 over the amount, and my DUMB A$$ buddy sent him the guitar then tried to ca...

Dude...I feel for that guy with the 15.20 pound bass that not only didn't win big fish, but came in second in the tournament. I bet you feel like a million bucks with a 15.20 pound fish, and that you're on your way to winning the tournament with all that mojo! Catch a fish of a lifetime to only fin...

that is crazy, only place left like that is Falcon

Equally impressive is the pages listed of teams that didn't weigh in at all. Zero, zip, nada from 96th place on, of what looks to be over 200 teams. sTony This happens a lot in Bass Champs because points dont really matter except for AOY, and in Champs 1 decent tournament will make it to where you ...

could you imagine weighing in a 15.20 bass and not winning big bass of the tournament. Check out this link, We have giants in Texas too

Conroe produces some toads year round but January and February can get crazy. Prespawn is the best time to fish most lakes here in Texas.

I might get reamed out by all you west coast boys for this post, but read this part of the article. "Regarding Michael, he did not enter the 2011 Walmart FLW Tour and therefore was not able to be considered for a potential team deal," said communications head Jeff McCoy. Look at guys like ...

this rod also has micro guides on it, this is my first rod with micro guides and I really like them

my buddy Casey Sobzac, owner of 6th Sense Lures is making rods too, check out this grip on this rod





it is actually really comfortable casting, and the reel seats are second to none, check others out at www.6thsenselures.com

yeah here in Texas fall was about 3 weeks behind. We had a cold winter last winter. Where I live the 2009-2010 winter was said to be the coldest daily average temperature in 50 years. I hope we aren't going to have a repeat.

my buddy has a his own square bill model and is in the process of fine tuning a deep diver, he also has a jerkbait prototype available. His paint jobs are awesome too.

check out his stuff at www.6thsenselures.com

and dont forget to check out his custom rods

I also use 7:1 and 6.3:1 reels for topwaters, I want to be able to pick up a lot of line fast

I have a cu-200b5 and was wondering if the wiffle spool that came in some of the SF models would be able to be put in this reel?

and is there a wiffle spool for the 100 size?

the win an open and get a classic birth is B.S., could you imagine getting 2nd in three opens, be leading points by a mile and not getting a classic birth, then a guy wins an open is 103rd in another and zeros at the last open yet he gets to go to the classic??? It just is not right, they need to re...

Get the Eyra with a 250 Pro XS

I have owned Rangers, Skeeters and Bass Cat, and I have rode in every bass boat make out there, and the Bass Cat that I have now is hands down the best boat I have ever had

the spoon idea can get expensive fast, try a 3/4oz worm weight in front of a 2/0 treble hook

how many of yall are going to fish the FLW AFS Western Division?

whats crazy is I have caught them with their bellies so huge it looks like they are going to bust, you look in their mouth and half a crawfish is sticking out of their throat and they still tried to eat a jig.

yeah, it is known as a warmouth, they will sometimes be lighter in color then that

http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/huntwild/wild/species/war/

I catch alot of them that size and a little bigger working tx rigs on the edges of grass, sometimes they will even eat a 1 1/4oz jig in the grass

I live out here in Texas and dont drop shot much but am trying to learn it better. the current setup I have been using is a Powell drop shot rod with 8lb Fluorocarbon, a 4.5 hand poured zipper shot worm, and a 5/16th oz weight.

I was wondering what yalls favorite setup is for drop shotting?

OIdhams eyemax, there is not a better jig for fishing grass

Fayette is definately an awesome lake, I live about 2 hours away from it, but love to fish it.

This may sound crazy to some of yall but during the summer the surface temperature of the lake exceeds 100 degrees most days but you can still go out and catch a 25lb limit.
