Here are some presentations and tactics using a bait I call a zoomie developed by my fishing buddy Joe, and my wife Connie, as well as myself. Have caught a lot of bass using the following methods…….Good Fishing, Mac I start with a package of Zoom Speed Worms in Watermelon/Red. I cut off the...

Intreresting Post, Thanks for Sharing!!! Good Fishing, Mac

Great Idea, how well do you do with it? It works very well. Last summer I was swimming a worm but instead of a welded on head, I was using an oblong red glass bead for a head...the fish swirled under the snake and I let it drop.....waited as long as I could stand it, which wasn't very long...

Start with a medium onion, chopped. Saute in a little oil and add three cloves fresh garlic, minced. When onions are done, add one pound lean ground round, loose. When meat is brown, drain well and add the meat and onion mix to a casserole dish. Now add one can cream of mushroom soup, just...

Two heaping tablespoons garlic powder and one teaspoon salt in two cups hot tapwater.....stir well and pour some in each baggie of soft plastics.....seal and mush about. Float the baggies on a bucket or sinkfull of hot tapwater for 20 minutes......go outside and pour off extra liquid from each...

I tie jigs. The little silver and red jig tied on a sixteenth ounce head has caught 21 species of fish so far, including 5 saltwater species and 16 freshwater. It has a red head, red thread and a red stripe down the side of the silver skirt. Made out of gift bag shredding I found at the...

I use Culprit 7 inch worms for bodies and weld on heads from used lizards with a pencil soldering iron heating both pieces to be joined simulatneously. Great for swimming over brush and strumps as well as submerged treetops. Matching the color of the head and body doen't seem to matter.

If you get the book from www.sliderfishing.com it will help greatly. It seems Charlie repeats himself in the book, but really doesn't. It's a very easy book to read and I am making an honest suggestion.....read it six times before going out fishing for the first time and read it once every two...

You can also make eyes this way.....get an old telescoping car antenna and cut the segments apart. This gives you several sizes of metal tubing....use a countersink tool on a drill press and sharpen the end of each tube being careful not to flare it out. Now, use these homemade tools for...

If you get into tying bucktail hair jigs, purple over white and black over white are good to tie for walleye. Mix in equal amounts, that is the top half purple and the under half white for example. The jighead can be a regular ball head.....easier to tie on a collared jig. Here's a trick for...

I bought two packs to use for slow falling and deadstiking presentations....a number 2/0 offset shank worm hook with no weight whatsoever. I like most often to use a skipping cast, then watching line carefully as it sinks to bottom. If it gets that far, I let it rest 30 seconds, then lift...

Jim, about the seating bothering your back. I currently have a Mad River Canoe and took out the cane seats, putting in a piece of plywood and then mounting a couple of Wal Mart's molded plastic seats...under ten bucks each and now enjoy hours of fishing without the aches and pains. The seats...

If you can ever get a good price on an old square stern Aerocraft, they're great. I had a 4 hp Evinrude on it and it worked great. Took rough waters well and was very economical to operate. Went to the island beach one day and decided to rinse it out....took the motor and gas tank out...

Just to say....I've used Gluv It over leaky rivets applied to the bottom of the boat (outside bottom) and it worked very well. On my boat, I applied the flooring in panels between the seats....the seats went all the way to the hull, no openings under them. I used nylon strapping to make a...

AndrewR, Have you tried mounting the trolling motor as is? Some trolling motor clamps have enough "bite" that the first screw device could hit the boat under the trim and by holding the motor in an upright position, the second scew device could possibly clamp on the trim piece. I had a boat...

I used the same reasoning you did, about the backing being waterproof, and to a degree it is....it also feels a tad nicer to walk on....not really a mistake, just doesn't hold up well. I'm also not forseeing any real problems with it, just learned there is a better way to go next time. Good...

They make floatable extensions for jonboats that stick out beyond the motor and are flush with the boat sides. These are a dealer item and they are made special for different models, particularly jet boats to raise the back end up. If you knew someone who could weld and fabricate these...

I used the rubber backing carpeting from Lowe's and found it to lift easily even after using adhesives.....the backing simply pulls off. In order to counteract this, I used the spray adhesive to attach the carpet on the top of the plywood, but when getting to the rounded edges and the inch and...

If you decide to use liquid nails.......a tip or two... Use the industrial or heavy duty. When applying it to the board.....use a serpentine looping patttern......this leaves gaps for air to escape....picture a snake laying on the board, his head at the upper right corner and his tail, after...

Before attaching the wood, be sure to paint it with several coats of paint. After that, I suggest using the Liquid Nails as already suggested, then the bolts or screws. Wal Mart sells an acrylic enamel for a little over 16 dollars. I just added plywood flooring and coated it with three...
