On most of those fish I was fishing uphill and the bait would find the bottom or grass in the zone where the fish should strike the bait. When I got there I would mix up the speed of the bait to trigger strikes. All the fish ate the bait on the first attempt and ate it good. On the last fish...

Jim, I have no idea. My mom probably bought me the shirt at Walmart though. :) Thanks.

Nice fish.

I have been watching this thread since I am a swimbait fanatic and noticed it has really slowed down the past fifteen days or so. I don't want in the contest but just want to show they will still eat swimbaits late in the summer and keep things interesting on the thread. Here is a video of four...

Splitshot rig with a straight tail worm.

I use an Artbin double deep. It is made for art supplies and I have to go to a hobby store to get them but it makes a good box for hard swimbaits because of it's size. Since swimbaits are 75% of what I carry with me it works great for me along with a smaller flat box for hooks, sinkers, etc.

Nice fish and a pro already at getting the boat on the trailer. =D>

I seem to do better with "sparkles". :lol: It helps my confidence so most of my worms have it. I think at times it breaks up the outline of the worm like camo so the fish sees the worm and then flash from the "sparkles" trigger a strike as it moves. Fish scales flash so I guess my worm should...

Great fish!

My reason is multiple reasons. I live on the top of a steep hill . My hull weight according to an 80's catalog I had laying around is around 1000 pounds. I see plenty of boats out there with a hull weight much lighter and lighter trailers. I could deck the boat in all aluminum and geet another...

Great photos!

I have decided to sell my 80's Tracker that I set up for all electric lakes a few years back. I am looking at new boats with at least the front deck being all aluminum built in by the manufacturer. My main reason for getting a different boat is that I need a boat that is lighter to get it up my...
