9/6/2007 11:49:00 PMThis is to reply to Jacob and Bass Tracker Most of the pictures i take are self portrait unless I mention the name of the person taking them. Either I'm going to Silver or Mcintosh this weekend depends on if the lady that I want to take to dinner excepts or not. If she does I'll be at Mcintosh if not the chances of going to Silver are good depends on weather pattern and have to make phone call to local anglers that I know to see what type of action has been going on at Silver.

9/7/2007 1:23:00 AMDave, I've been fishing at McIntosh a few times and havn't caught anything. What techniques are you using and where do you catch them, also I'm new to bass fishing so using spinnerbaits and crankbaits are new to me and I havn't figured out how to use them properly. Thanks

Crank baits and spinner baits have been around for a long time from the first Shannon twin spin to the early glass eyed crankbaits. I like using the short armed spinnerbait (Stan Salon Short Arm spinnerbait) When the bass are in murky shallow water and the tandem long arm willow leaf spinner bait in weedy situations. At night or low light situations i like using a blade that makes a lot of vibration this also works well in muddy to stained water. I usually have a trailer on my spinnerbait like a curly tail pork bait (Uncle Josh Pork Bait) or a plastic trailer which matches the skirt color or close too. Also i use a use a trailer hook on my spinner baits for a lot of fish short strike and this helps to hook these fish. I use 17 pound line on spinnerbaits and 10 to 12 pound on crank baits depends on water clarity. Basspro.com has a good selection of lures in this style of bass fishing lures and you can't go wrong with Strike King Spinnerbaits and Bandit brand crankbaits. Hope i haven't loaded you with too much info on lures of this style but try these and i think you'll be on your way to catching that trophy of a life time.
