Hey, What is the toughest condition you fish, and how can wehelp?
 

transplant, try fishing vertically in 15-20' of water around rock piles, and
deep water weeds. But, to be honest, my first goal during these times is to
find all the incoming water sources I can and pound the heck out of the
mouths of these sources.

It's 13° here, but the wind is down so it feels like a heat wave! I cannot
wait for a few days of at least 40°.

Hey, What is the toughest condition you fish, and how can we help?
 

I had a dream last night that I was getting out for the first time this
year. About half way to the lake, I realized that I had not only forgotten
the keys to the boat... but all of my equipment was still at home too. It's
not the first time that I've dreamed this neither.

This is the first year that I've completely removed everything from the boat
for winter storage, and I guess I'm worried that I'll forget something when
I reload it.

We've had temps in the 50's this week... but with it came rain, rain, rain,
and more rain. Oh yeah, and some nice stiff winds.

You really need to come south for a little while Craig. You'll love it here.

Is your buddy still here selling cars? Ask him how he likes it here.

Actually Dave, this is one of my favorite times because I have found that
the bass are going to be holding real tight to cover and have a very small
strike zone. Put a jig-n-pig or big tube right on target (tight to the
cover - dock post, rock, isolated weed patch, etc.), and shake the hell
out
of it, then pop it and repeat. Once my lure is a little more than 18"
from
the target, I pull it and cast again. No need to waste time, that bass is
holding tight and it is high unlikely to follow it any distance at all.

You're a pro, you will remember everything! Create a check list and simply
make sure everything is checked off. We do it all the time in sales, to
make sure deals have all the necessary paperwork for processing and to get
funded. Works well in preparing for a tournament and outings as well.

Hopefully with everything sitting here in my bedroom, I'll remember at least
all the important stuff. My wife is sure to remind me since she's the one
complaining about it being in here! LOL

#1 rule - Replace the required Safety items first, wouldn't want to forget
something and get a ticket.

Actually I love still water. Scale down to mini just about anything, but as
for me I especially like to throw a scaled down top water, a popper or a
small buzz when other conditions. I hate hate hate muddy water. No
confidence in it at all. accck.

You know... I wouldn't mind getting a ticket for not having something in the
boat that is required. I know that once I pay a fine, I won't forget it
again. But... what I'm really hoping for is a little more enforcement on the
lake for everyone.

We did finally get fishing restrictions posted at all the major ramps this
year. I'm not saying I had anything to do with it... but they did start
showing up after a few e-mails with one of the directors.

Last time I fished on Lake Barkley (KY), I went in to buy my license. The
guy told me that I was probably wasting my money since all of the game
wardens were out in the woods at that time of year.

Yep Ron, Toughest conditions an angler can face. I have had some success
using a 3/4-ounce Rattlin Jig (orange & Black Skirt) with a Black Real
Pork
Chuck (Uncle Josh #1). Also had some success using Bob Rickard's Mud
Spinnerbait (Red and Chartreuse Colorado Tandem blades) with
Red/Chartreuse
Skirt, using a Paddle Tail Swim Minnow as a trailer (Black). Fishing them
like you would a jig (hopping them off the bottom and letting them flutter
back down, and repeating).

I think toughest conditions last year were at Lake Shasta. Warm, but not
the 110 degrees it was the week before and the bass were not on the bite
anywhere I fished! Most were out in the middle of the lake at 20' on top of
the shad schools being pigs. Trout under the schools at 70'. Must suck to
be a shad. The top local trout guide got a few on the downrigger while
trolling for trout. I drop shot the rocks, senko'ed everywhere, jig&pig and
even fished the late evening. Nada. They were so spread out, that I don't
think you would have even gotten many jigging at 20'. The shad were
everywhere, and about 1" long. Trout would be stuffed! Falling out of
their mouth and still eatting. Darn pigs. Need to see Dr. Phil. I talked
to a local prefishing for a tourney. He had 3 for 9 hours.
