... My goto bait is a 5" (5.5"?) Kinami flash in Baby Bass. I also use their Natural Shad Color in ultra clear water, and the Red Shad in very stained water or low light conditions. When bass are actively feeding on sunfish I'll use a green pumpkin with chartreuse tail because it sinks slower than the kinami and matches the forage better. Meant to say I use a Tiki Stick in this color because its lighter than the Kinamis and falls slower. When the bite is very tentative I'll switch to the 4" kinamis in the same colors. I fish stick worms a lot, and have even had an article title "The Stick Worm Phenomenon" published in the Arizona Outdoorsman. I can give your bait an honest evaluation because I will use it.

Yes, that advice is all well and good for tentative bass. But what do you
reach for when the bass turn and gaze at you thoughtfully.... Hmmmmmm? Joe --------------- "Bob La Londe" wrote in message .. . My goto bait is a 5" (5.5"?) Kinami flash in Baby Bass.

I admire your spirit, Bob. Swing for the fences! Successful anglers have to
be willing to lose a few lures sometimes in order to go into the thickest of cover to root out bass that hunker down there. The theory is that you'll expose your lures where few others have been seen, which is supposed to provide an advantage. In fact, I think you're just reaching back into the preferred hiding and ambush areas where the alpha bass lurk. Joe "Bob La Londe" wrote in message .. . "Bob La Londe" wrote in message .. .

40-foot high branches... no. 18-foot high.... OK. 18 feet above the water is
as high as an angler ought to hang their crankbaits. I tried to teach Charles how to do it, but he never could get the hang of it. Heaven knows I demonstrated it enough times, but as we've determined by his recent actions, the boy is sort of "tetched." If an angler doesn't hang his lures in trees, doesn't that take the challenge out of fishing? I mean, anyone can sit or stand on a boat deck all day, throw lures into the water, and wind them back in. Really, what skill is involved in that? But to step from a pitching deck onto what looks like solid shore, only to discover it's really just a mat of weeds floating over nine inches of water, to shake the algae from your right leg and then to crawl through poison ivy, stick-tights, and brambles to reach the base of the tree, shred your palms as you shinny up the coarse trunk, creep out on a three-inch diameter branch eighteen feet over the water (it looked a lot thicker from below), pausing every time you hear a c-r-e-e-e-a-k or popping, cracking sound (noticing that the branch is now seventeen feet over the water.... now sixteen... now fifteen.... GET A MOVE ON!), tendons popping and muscles protesting as you stretch your torso and arm to somehow grow an extra inch or two on the end of your arm, relaxing your grip on another branch to gain a last few precious inches, shake and then regain your balance as you are startled by your partner's camera flash from below, stabbing a hook in your finger as you attempt to untie with only two fingers the Gordian knot your lure managed to tie with unbreakable seventeen pound test line around an equally tenacious wad of leaves right at the limits of your reach, sweat dripping into your eyes but having no free hand to wipe your forehead and being too unsure of your balance to even shake your head, finally retrieving your bait and edging back toward the trunk and thence back to terra firma, losing your grip and jumping the last three feet to the earth, landing on one foot and wrenching your ankle on the side of a rock that gives way and tumbles toward your waiting boat as a hot lance of pain pierces your leg and a red curtain sweeps across your vision and you fight to remain conscious and in possession of the Vienna Sausages, crackers, and Mountain Dew you ate for lunch, then slipping down the bank while grabbing a handful of poison ivy to slow your descent, stopping only when your left shoe has filled with lakewater, scraping your shin as you jump for the boat that is retreating from your attack, and finally tossing your prize lure onto the deck and glaring at your howling partner in triumph.

Randy, I'd be glad to try a few out for you. Since I don't fish as often as
most of these guys, I probably wouldn't be of much help, though. However.... you mentioned that you are attempting to ascertain the value ( or lack of value ) of the added amino acids. May I suggest that you do some "blind" testing by sending some participants the "non-amino" lures, and others the " amino-lures". You would then chart the results of your blind test by their responses. Since the recipients have no way of knowing which lure they received...we'd hope that they would fish them hard and ...if the results differ markedly...you've got a good test for the value of the addition. It isn't a prefect "blind test" but I think it would help in your evaluation and decision making. regards, RichG TX/IL Manager, Carolina Skiff Owners Group on MSN-Groups http://groups.msn.com/CarolinaSkiffOwners |
