Man, you guys post too fast. You're on to four new subjects before I get a word in edgewise.

bassintom · 01-30-06, 08:56 PM

what the matter?can't keep up with the old man?

Patrick Krueger, Jr. · 01-30-06, 08:57 PM

Maybe if I'd stop telling my life story or get a new laptop, one from this century?

crankybait · 01-30-06, 09:16 PM

um guys, how do you find structure at the bottom of ponds?

Patrick Krueger, Jr. · 01-30-06, 09:32 PM

With a depth finder. Just kidding, from shore I use Carolina-rigged plastics.

crankybait · 01-30-06, 09:34 PM

oh i see. i usually fish just under an overhanging tree. i figured there would be fallen branches

Patrick Krueger, Jr. · 01-30-06, 09:39 PM

Figuring is good. Imagination is important to fishing in countless ways.

Patrick Krueger, Jr. · 01-30-06, 09:42 PM

Master the arts of flipping, pitching, and roll casting! Shade is a type of cover. Bass love it in the summer in smaller ponds.

crankybait · 01-30-06, 09:42 PM

i have a spinning reel. cant flip or pitch. dont know what roll casting is.

Patrick Krueger, Jr. · 01-30-06, 09:54 PM

You can do all of these things with a spinning reel.

Roll casting involves keeping the lure close to the rod tip, very close. Then just roll your wrist around getting a feel for how the particular rod you're using is gonna' throw the lure. Carve little ovals in the air with your wrist and snap that bad boy loose when it feels right. It's the one of the three that is easiest with a baitcasting reel. I can't really explain it too well, sorry. It's so much easier to show people.

Patrick Krueger, Jr. · 01-30-06, 09:58 PM

It just involves side-arm casting (sorta') for getting under trees or what have you, and letting the lure stay low and land subtly. Hopefully, one of the veterans see this and can explain it better.

Patrick Krueger, Jr. · 01-30-06, 10:01 PM

Whoever told you that you can't flip or pitch without a baitcaster is a liar.

crankybait · 01-30-06, 10:07 PM

ok, well i havent heard of anyone dong it with a spinning reel. and then again... i dont know what flipping or pitching is either, ive probably done ti just didnt know that it was caleld flipping or pitching

Patrick Krueger, Jr. · 01-30-06, 10:20 PM

Those are even harder to explain. Watch the fishing shows religiously and eventually you'll see how it's done. Kevin Van Dam has a DVD available at Bass Pro Shops that covers flipping and pitching - Pitching to Heavy-hitters. Zooker also recommends it (without trying to sell anyone anything). I'm not sure if KVD has one involving the roll-cast, but he does it very often.

lovinfishin9 · 01-30-06, 11:18 PM

KVD showed us the roll cast at the bassmaster university when i was there. Its really alot easier to lear when you see it being done.

LOL bassintom, stinkybait is a classic.

Anyways, just do catch and release all the time!

crankybait · 01-31-06, 03:52 PM
