Re: Alright, Spotted Bass FOR Food - Seriously!

FISH TACOS!

I marinade filets in Taquilla, lime juice, fresh garlic, and chili powder for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. Throw them on the BBQ till flakey, serve with a white sauce made of equal parts yogurt and mayo on tortillas with shredded cabage and fresh salsa. Yummy. Don't forget the Pacifico!

For drop shoting on the delta I use my pitching rod. 6'6" medium heavy with 17-20 pound Floro. I pitch/flip the rig just like I would a jig or texas rigged worm. I use a 6-12 inch drop and a 1/4oz-1/2oz mojo weight depending on the depth I am fishing and the fishes' activity level.

Re: Entry Level Bass Boat Advice Anyone?.......

I would say with your price range and the fact that you are going to be fishing a big water lake most of the time, you should focus on a used 19-21 foot fiberglass boat. Check out the classified section on this site as well as on fishsniffer.com and boattraderonline.com.
