Bass Fishing Tips...
Spiced Trick worm....Paint a #7 Split shot bright red { aggressive color for bass} and instead of a bullet sinker use this rig..pinch on with needle nose pliers..add a 4 mm glass rattle in the middle of the worm..I use a 4/0 Mustad worm hook.Very strong.I pre sharpen all hooks before using...The rattles make a HUGE difference in strikes..
Bass Pro has them for about 22.00 for 100.


Flipping Rod.. use a rod you have confidence in..I use a Medium Heavy 6 ' 10" Fenwick..I sanded the handle to fiit my hand..I have a short butt on my rod..Longer butts get in my way.I cut 2 inches off the butt..Works like a charm.
On jig taps set hook immediately..on worm..you have time to feel the fish..Flipping I use Power Pro 20- 40 pound..nothing lighter than 20 when flipping in the stalks or the soup..Pitching on the outside..10 ppound Mono is fine..NO Break offs this year..
I use a Revo S baitcaster..Any bait caster is good in which the drag is good..In flipping the drag is the main concern...I missed alot of jig bass this year until I learned..to set on the tap..

HEY!! I made the newspaper{ -;

My bedroom is filled with tackle...I know if I didn't do this tourney..I'd fish a lot less. I'm getting old and lazy..so one selfish reason was to motivate me to get out on the water.Also, there is much trouble in our world these days..this can help us get our minds off the recession and enjoy God's creation. Our deer season ends Jan. 1st..so after that I'll be looking for BIg Bertha..I'm excited about the compitition this year. This should be one of our best tourneys ever..Matt has his own boat this year so he will try harder as well.

I've got one more week to try and ambush this ole boy.
