Bill....I fish as far south in the delta as you can go, not alot of
current, shallow water, and alot of cover, weed beds, blow downs, bamboo and tulie thickets in the water and alot of rip-rap along the levee banks. Grant Line Canel, Fabian/Bell Canel, Paradise Cut and Old River is my water of choice. Good luck on those Steelhead, years ago I used to fish the American River for Salmon, Steelhead and American Shad, but approaching 70 years old at the speed of light so stay closer to home.. sket |

Ronnie = It was 13 degrees when I got up .Its almost 9 AM and a scorching
19degrees with some wind.As much as I enjoy fishing I just can't bring myself to go out into this.At 45-50 degrees, its is still hard for me to do ..As a boy I lived in Georgia and Florida for several years and remember the winters as cold mornings and pleasant days but back then I could care less about fishing and more about ball or girls. Some times I wish I still lived in Georgia Ken ; "Ronnie" wrote in message ups.com... It doesn't get too cold to fish.

Makes sense Bob. Next time you're doing that try nose-hooking a bait with a
size 2 or 4 octopus - you'll be amazed how easy it comes through the grass. The best thing is that if it does get stuck, a sharp twitch of the rod tip not only generally frees it, but often triggers a reaction bite as well. Much like the "ticking the grass, ripping it out" crankbait theory. Warren "Bob La Londe" wrote in message .. . "WARREN WOLK" wrote in message news:dxleh.20$Z67.3@trndny02... "Rodney Long" wrote in message I wish I could get Warren to try the StandOut , Hell, I will send him all he wants for free I appreciate that Rodney, I really do. I can see your hook being a valuable asset to an entry-level dropshotter that might have a hard time tying a proper polamar knot. But that's where it ends for me. A dropshot rig in its purest (& most effective) form is a tiny, no-frills hook & a finesse-type bait. Sure, some people "bubba-up" their dropdhot rigs with heavy line, sinkers & bigger hooks & baits, but even these rigs only need use a standard shaped hook. I'm partial to the "octopus" style myself. Warren Actually prefer a j-hook style worm hook and I use a Trilene knot. Its a little awkward to tie with that long tag end, but when I flip tag around and drop it thrugh the eye its real easy to make that hook stick out. I like to t-rig my dropshot worms since I am usually d-shotting in grass beds rather than over rocky bottoms. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Hey sket, why wouldn't you want alot of current? I like a good flow on the
tidal waters I fish out East. Warren wrote in message ...

Hey Warren.....I do like current also as it positions the bass and makes
them active, but on the outer edges of the system it is not so strong as the middle areas. I have an 87 pound t/m and with some of the heavier current flow it can be a pain that I do not like to deal with. I like to fish thin water and catch bass all year long in water from 6" to 5' with some nice bags and some quality. Good luck to you in the up comming '07 tournament season. Happy Holidays to you and yours.. sket |
