Ok got the gear now how and when to fish it???

[coolman]

Went to Wally World and Ace in the past two days and spent fifty dollars!!! Got a few things but dont know how to rig, when, and how to fish them ??? please help me with this dilema! I got some worms i know to texas rig them and fish slowly. got some tubes have no clue, and got some crankbaits, no clue again. And i have some jigs. Please help me with this!!

Thanx

[keeb]

what some people do with tubes is sink them rite beside the structure your fishing and lift the rod tip and let it sink and keep doing it. all you have to do is put a bullet weight on and a worm hook in the body and it shoulld work.

Ok,

Well I was going to come in here and ask a similar question.

First I will answer the one I feel comfortable answering.

Crankbaits:

I am guessing Rapala or similar brand from Wally World.

The box and insert does have some pretty easy to follow instructions. We might even need more info depending on if they are floating, or suspended etc. Also the running depth of the lure.


Typically you want to vary your retrieve speed until you feel you are getting some action. What I mean is you can retrieve it faster or slower.

Secondly what a lot of people find success in is having some sort of stop and go pattern. Again this varies but you could reel it in then pause for a few seconds or longer then start the retrieve again.

If you do the above stop and start method and its a floating crankbait what it simulates is a wounded bait fish. It starts to float to the surface then struggles to swim on farther. Its an easy meal for a game fish.

you should try to go out with an accomplished angler.you will learn more from this at your stage than any other way.

[coolman]

Okay ill try that ill go out with HulaPopr and try to learn some!!

[FLFishFan]

Just get your butt out there and fish. Thats the best way to learn. The fish will tell ya what they want. Throw different stuff out till ya get something. Happy fishing. ;D

The truth is you can't catch bass without a $30,000 Tr-21 bass boat, dodge ram hemi, or shimano calais. Sorry, it cant be done. :

[Bassin_Dude]

fish whenever you can!!!!!!

[FLFishFan]

Forget the Dodge. Go with a Silverado. More Power its a proven fact. Look at the stats. Had both. Still got the Chevy.

[coolman]

Forget the dodge and the silverado ill use my dads dodge 2500 cummings 24 valve diesel its got more power than both of those toy trucks! LOL

[bearpaw]

Common guys, I've got an 85 plain ol chevy truck with a 4.3 liter engine. Ain't that strong, wont pull that much but it's paid for !
Now I can load all of my Zebco 33's, corks, hooks and weights and go.

[Bassin_Dude]

lol bassnman ;D chris.....have fun payin the gass. i would never even think about a diesel......they might have power, but they arnt faster, and they cost a sh!t load to drive.

[bass72542]

diesal in alabama was cheaper thann gas at one time a while back

[coolman]

with the better gas mileage the diesel gets its about the same anyways we need the power and it goes pretty fast (turbo)! Its my dads company truck that he uses for his lawn mowing rig!

I agree you gotta have all of those or you're just wasting your time. However I prefer the Nissan Titan instead of the Dodge, there wheels don't fall off going down the road Even though I OWN a Chevy Z-71 I wanted the Titan, but the GM discount couldn't be forgotten :'(

That would be awesome if they made a powerful hybrid truck. You can still haul stuff and go outdoors, but that would save so much gas money. 8)

[Mikey]

hahahaha make fun ford get all out while u can hahaha
they might be making a electric truck soon the plus aboutelctric vehicals is they have alot of torque
srry im in to cars and trucks alot im going to mechanic school when im done with school i hope to be a guy who works in the pits not alot of pay btu i swear im inlove with enginges
but anyways the thing we should be making fun of is the honda ridge line personaly i htink the japenese should stick with cars but the nissan truck is a nice luxuries truck

[zman]

Over the past 5 years my 91 explorer has proven to me that Ford can and at least sometimes does make a good product - I would even go so far as to compare my Ford to well...uh....a rock....yea its like a rock...uh yeah.

[Bassin_Dude]

actually, might not wanna make fun of foriegn cars. i dont like them as much as the next guy, but thet are built stronger then american made cars. electric cars i just dont like.....somethin about them just really seems ''tree hugger'' to me....i guess its because thats what all the tree huggers drive...but they are good for the enviroment...and whatever keeps the fishin good is fine with me 8)
