Well Cleb, to clarify, I am not jealous of Matt nor anyone else on this fishing forum. I read this forum to learn. Sometimes I find myself having to pick through B.S. to try and get my finger on the pulse of what really is good. I wasnt trying to get down on Matt nor anyone else. Steve seemed to hit...

By the look of the fish, water level, and lack of sun, looks like that pic was from spring time. You posted another monster a few months back and looks like the same lake. Awesome fish!!!!!!! Seems like some of the big fish hunters hold their pics for a while.......

Supermat, I am under the impression that you are sponsored by baitsmith (I have seen your pictures all over their website). Does that mean you have to get online and defend the bait everytime someone says something about it besides that "its the best lure since sliced bread". Everyone is e...

Phil, u dont need to scream every time you post. Most people understand that all capital letters online is screaming............

Owner ST-41 2X trebles. They are like claws and when they grab, fish do not come off........... They are the same as the stock hooks on the wake jr. I used to use the stock ms slammers and stock ac minnows with stock hooks, but they do bend out. I have since changed all of mine to the ST-41s and tho...

Mr Flippinjigs, I wonder. Do you own a house? When the housing market went crazy and real estate was making 20% on your investment in one year, did you get mad at the people buying and selling homes? It is simple economics. Basstrix were selling baits at $6.49 a pack earlier in the year (April/May)....

You cannot leaglly hunt any Elk in California at all withought special (impossible to draw) tags......Correct me if I am wrong.......Doesnt matter where the Elk are (even if you owned the property).

Thats a cool story......Way to Go!!!!!!!!!

Cow Mountain is 10 minutes out of town and it is BLM land.

185vsfrog

Man I fished sherman last week. I was wondering why I have been having the squirts all this week

185vsfrog

Thanks guys for the info. I will give them a call. Hopefully they will take care of the issues.

185vsfrog

1/4 Oz Speed Trap in Delta Craw. It is one of my favorites. Or any of the LV500 baits.

185vsfrog

Yes Andy I got bites on it......But does that make me want to keep throwing it when it breaks every time out, nope. I have spent a few bucks on swim baits like most on this site and somewhat figured out which baits work well and which ones are a waste of time. I keep telling myself that I don't want...

I am writing this because I am having problems with the Kong Swimbait. I bought one and the first time I fished it, I really liked the way it swam and fished. I immediately went out and bought 4 more of them in different sizes and colors. Then when I closely inspected the original one I bought, I no...

Anybody knwo how the west delta striper bite has been? I'm heading out tomorrow. Any help would be aprpeciated.

185vsfrog

37 lbs

185vsfrog

I think Bob is referring to one of the pics in the photo section. The fish obviously looks dead.This time of the year in the delta, the water temp is at its hottest and there is very little oxygen dissolved in it. Fish have a hard time living in the livewells when it is like this. If you dont take e...

185vsfrog

Kelly, Check your PMs......I sent you three.

185vsfrog

LOL Gator.......that was funny

......You guys should have a great time up there this weekend........The bite should be berserk with the nice weather......Maybe when u get back, I will let you check it out on the Delta.......

185vsfrog

Here comes the thread jack.......Anyone seen the Go2Minnow wakebait by blackdog? i just bought their last one at the Hook. Pretty cool looking bait. Anyone else got one? Any success with it?

185vsfrog

Good luck getting one TunaEater. They are sold out everywhere including the website. Hopefully you can find one..........

185vsfrog

Thanks for looking out for us Gator.......

185vsfrog

Tom, was that Anglers Choice yesterday? I left early...It was a tough bite for me. I tried to force feed them and it didnt work LOL

185vsfrog

Me too Bill

If this person is attempting to scam us, the moderators should ban that person from WesternBass.......Ban that email from the forums and classifieds...........

185vsfrog

L Dubb for the Hudd and BBZ you will be happy with the 711XH. You can throw all day and not get tired.

185vsfrog

I would have to say for the money that the Okuma Guide Select series 711H is the best swimbait rod for the money. $99 bucks you cant go wrong and the quality on this rod is nice. Action is almost perfect and the nice long butt section makes long distance casting easy. Or try the same rod in the 711X...

185vsfrog

Go buy a 7" MS Slammer in the shad color. Yuo can't go wrong with that bait and it is around 40 bucks. It will work at any lake and is a good all around wake bait without spending 90 bucks on a wake jr.

185vsfrog

I have the same problem on my minn kota . you can buy an external and run that instead. Should solve the problem.

185vsfrog

I dont know about the whores but strippers sound cool. I want to hire a stripper for a team partner. She could do the topless net jobs for me. She doesnt have to be able to fish. I could handle that end. I just need the entertainment value! Bruiser, I second that statement. I am also sick. I can't b...

185vsfrog

Got me a Jr. Haven't chunked it in the water yet. It is my first BIG bait and I cant wait for CL at the end of the month. Mad Maggs, If you think that is a big bait, think again. The Jr. is pretty small in the big bait world! You should look at the armageddon or the new mike shaw slammer snake wake...

185vsfrog

Man, I missed the boat on a lucrative business. Guys spending $60.00 bucks on shellcrackers, lunker punkers and $80.00 and up for had baits. This fishing industry is going crazy. What happened to the days of the S20 worm and carolina rigging a zoom lizard? Or going to the store and buyin a bombar 6a...

185vsfrog

I think it has to do with the size of the mono/flouro and braid. If you try 50 lb power pro with 14 lb flouro and super glue it, u are going to break the flouro at or near the connection. If you try 65 lb power pro with 50 flouro and super glue it, you should be fine. I dont think the light line can...

185vsfrog

L Dub you are right. crazy glue on mono or flouro is bad news. makes the line brittle and weakens it.

185vsfrog

Yeah I'm with you, Jason C. It always seems that when I mix braid and flouro leader, the flouro always loses. I always tie braid direct if I'm going to use it, or tie a leader with a small spro swivel. I cant remember how many times I snapped mono/flouro leader tied to braid. I will never do it agai...

185vsfrog

L Dub, I don't think it matters who the issuing officer/deputy/Ebmud Ranger Etc was.....I think you have to go before the same judge depending on the County in which you were cited. The only difference is what you were cited for. If you get a F&G guy on a mission, he might get you for alot of di...

185vsfrog

Duckhuntr, I feel for ya. I was out yesterday with a partner. We had some good fish in the am until about 8 and the bite slowed. We flipped a few up to about three pounds after that (until about 11). Once the tide topped out and the second outgoing tide of the day happend, the bite picked up again a...

185vsfrog

BTW, I left a Hud there last year doing the same, throwing braid and getting a backlash. I never saw $40 fly through the air so fast. Next time, you go in commando, maybe you could grab it for me. It is approx. 50 yards north/east of the main pier in the deep cove.....LOL :D :D :D PS- I will never t...

185vsfrog

Dan, were u actually swimming in Loma????????I heard there is a big alligator that lives there..........LOL

185vsfrog

There are at least 5 auctions on Ebay right now for flappin hogs. The US versions are about $9.00 per pack for 7 baits and the Japanese versions are about $15.00 per pack for 7 baits. What are the differences between the two?

185vsfrog

Beware of Craigslist scams, especially if you have to wire money or pay something up front.

185vsfrog

Guy, that looks mighty like Konocti Mountain in the backround, not mount diablo. Awesome fish Mike in an awesome fishery right now! I sure wish I could be up there fishing big baits in the evening. Must be a blast! Congrats on a great catch.

185vsfrog

Man, those things don't work in the delta....Who are you kidding!

185vsfrog

Sickofdinks, you sound like a retired cheapo. If you really say that you can afford a new ranger or basscat, money should not be a problem to you. If you think that you are going to buy a boat and fish 7 days a week and have a random backseater pay your expenses, your crazy. Owning a boat costs mone...

185vsfrog

Yup I agree with Rich Thiel and Bassindon. You can't go wrong with the Okumas for 99 bucks. They look and feel great in hand and have enough action to let the rod load up which is key in throwing heavy baits all day long. I just got the 7'11MH and I'm going to get the 7'11H very soon.

185vsfrog

Stock Option, maybe you should try fishing powerpro on a 7'6" flipping stick like a 766 powell or the like. Also get rid of the 12 lb and switch to 30 or 50lb braid. I think you might be having a problem with burying the hook well enough. A while ago I was up there prefishing for a tourney and ...

185vsfrog

You need to call Mark Mendez and get the mag rollin. You should have got it by now.

185vsfrog

Shad Wizard, you should ask for a subscription to basswest magazine for Christmas (or better yet, join angler's choice tournament series, they give the subscript for free). That article was over a year old. Super inforomative as many other articles are in this magazine. I look forward to every issue...

185vsfrog

7.3 lbs. Fish is kinda skinny.

185vsfrog

Hey Mike, I think alot has to do with areas your fishing and the tide your fishing on. If you are fishing an area that all you ever caught of there were dinks, guess what you are probably going to catch there again.......probably the same. Think of all of your spots you ever caught nice fish in the ...
