Anybody give this a try yet? I got a small bag in the mail to give them a try but have not used it yet. Skeet's video sounds promising.

carolina rig

b.a.s.17 — Wed, 16 May 2012 22:08:47 GMT

I've been doing some tournament fishing and my partner has been using a carolina rig and has been doing pretty well with it. I'm taking 2 guys fishing Saturday that are new to bass fishing so I figured this would be a good time to work on this technique. I've talked to my partner, but thought I'd see what you guys do and what has worked for you guys.

I have 1/2 oz brass weights, black glass beads, and regular barrel swivels to start.

How long do you guys like your leader, do you use mono or fluro line, and does the color of the bead matter? Any other suggestions or ideas would be great!

crazyfisherkid - indeed

Rather than leave this message in a thread that may not be seen - here it is, hopefully you'll see it.

Just in case no one else will do it - crazyfisherkid YOU ARE A COMPLETE A$$H0LE and we certainly don't need idiots like yourself posting here. Go away, far away and don't come back until you grow up. Just my opinion, mind you. I'm certain no one on this board will assist you in anyway from this point forward, therefore your time here will be wasted.

Finally got my websited updated. Ran into a long time friend at high school reunion last year and got to talking. Told him about my webpage and that I wanted to update it. He said he'd help out and could hook me up with a better way of updating the site.

Wordpress takes a little while to learn but is pretty easy once you start playing around. Had one of my buddy's staff help me out with it in the beginning but now I can make changes any time I need to add to take down a product or page.

Got to give thanks to my friend at Sterling Creek Software. If you need some IT help give them a call.

May be out of line

What is with all of the weird posts from people that just joined this month? Anyone think it is the same person having conversations with themselves? :confused:

Hello to all

BassSA — Wed, 16 May 2012 10:51:11 GMT

Good day guys!!

A few years back I used to be a very keen member on the site and used to go under the name LOU. Not sure if its still active but I cant remember any passwords anyway.

So after finishing my studies, work life and a copiouse amount of fishing kinda took over so I haven't been on the site in about eight years.

Small little detail I forgot to mention i am based in South Africa, and yes we have some great bass fishing here. But although I was the first South African member on the site I am sure a few more have moved through since the sport exploded here a few years back.

I am keen to see if I remember any of the old names and to drop in again every now and again.

But now the reason that drove me into the internet. I have been working on a respectable man cave or bass room over the past few months and have been collecting all bass memrobilia I can get my hands on and putting up a few photos from the past few years.

I have a two autographs of some bass pro's but would really like to expand my collection. Due to being based in South Africa my chances of meeting some of these guys are quite limited. I have emailed a few but have received no responce.

Can anyone maybe offer any help, advice or assistance in where and how i can go about finding some autographed photos of some of the bass pros?

I would greatly any help anybody can offer, thanks in advance and hope to hear from you all soon.

Does anyone know what kind of snake this is?

1/4 stick — Wed, 16 May 2012 04:28:36 GMT

Ok, I'm sitting in my room at the back of the house. Hear my nephew walk by to go on the back porch to smoke a cig. Hear him sit down, it's quiet for a second, then I hear cussin and all sorts of shufflin and bangin. I go to check. He's standing inside the back door, britches a little browner :D. He says there's a snake out there. Sure nuff this snake had come through a hole in the screen. My nephew said he's sat down and flicked his lighter and caught a glent of a eye staring at him. lmao I grabed my pellet gun shot at it once and caught the side of the snakes head and it slithered behind the table I pulled the table out and shot again trying my best to hold a flash light with one hand and aim cause I was shakin pretty good myself by this time. (barrell was only a inch from the buggars head but it was coiled and in strike position and I was shakin myself by this time.) poped another in it's head. Got it good, but loaded and poped it again to be sure before I went about removing it from the porch.

Anyway, I don't know if it was venomous or not nor did I or will I ever care as a snake invading my space is gonna be dead as long as I see it before it bites me. Anyone know what kind it is? I have no clue.

Along the lines of rod socks....

Rebbasser — Wed, 16 May 2012 01:06:39 GMT

Here is a great way to keep treble hook baits on your rods without having to buy expensive lure covers. I've made a bunch of them, and they work great. Mine are light colored so I can write on them with a sharpie what the bait is-lipless, deep, shallow-you get the idea. and they are VERY easy to make.

Caught a decent one

lowrider — Tue, 15 May 2012 22:55:02 GMT

Struck smooth out at the last tourney but hit a little river last Friday and managed to knock the bad luck out of my boat. Just fished for a little over 3 hours and caught 3 keepers, here's a pic of the best one.

How do you fish a common laydown

IowaBasser — Tue, 15 May 2012 21:10:07 GMT

Here's a common piece of structure that we all come across - a tree has fallen into the water with it's roots still on shore and it's limbs stretching out into the water. What's your favortie technique?
