what improvements will you be making for 2008 ..

[danielt]

iv found that the perfect size dropshot wieght is the 1/8 pencil weight and i use #2 or # 3 size dropshot hooks .. AARON MAGIC baits a good go to baits ... p.m. me directly for one of my favorite baits that gave me the bulk of my bass last year ... BBD

Size 2 or 4 there is no such thing as a 3

[tnj8222]

1) Join a bass club this year
2) Search for new areas
3) Try more carolina rigging and football jigs
4) Fish more than last year.
5) Just upgraded on a spincast and a baitcaster, can't wait to use them.

KZOO hey there home town buddy ! sounds like you would be a perfect fit for a the best bass club in washinton "The Puyallup HawgHunters" p.m. me or daniel or skeeterbass for more info ..as for carolina rigging , try berkley powerbait 4" worm in black/chartuse .. i base my leader lenth on the current ... faster current shorter leader and slow current longer leader .. :batman:

i have read alot about this club and have heard nothing but good. this next year i plan on joining the hog hunters and do a few tournys as a back seater

I like to separate myself from drop shot rookies and pontoon owners. LOL!

jk of course

[iPodrodder]

This year I am going to try to pull away from plastics and try some hardbait fishing. I also want to start fishing a dropshot more effectively.

I bet my pontoon and dropshot will not only catch the first 6+ pounder in 2008 , ill also be looking forward too taking $50 bucks of your gas money when it happens rookie .. your people skills are out of control i might add . we fish too close to eachother through out the season for those kind of remarks !! hmmm i just had a weird thought of me accidently knocking you in the lake this year .. looking forward to season "danielson" !!! LOL

[Fisherman_max]

i would also like to start using more hard baits like cranks and spinners because all i used last year was plastics like lizards and brush hogs weightless.

Thanks for the tip BBD! I'm going to try using a small lizard, I use to use carolina rig all the time, I just been caught up on the drop shot here. Good to hear from ya again man!

Should of bought my boat man! It sold as soon as I put it on CL.

Its alright just drop me a line later in the season so we can hit washington together or maybe a nwbasser fish-in

[lskiles]

Cool thread...hope you bass-guys do not mind me poking in.

I have only been fishing for about two years now and am having a good time learning the ropes.

One improvement I will attempt this year is diversity. I have been challenged to catch all the species in my state. First I have to have a list of all species so that I have a measurable goal. I am compiling now a list of species of fish in Washington State. It is easy to find game fish and meat fish and “species of concern.” It is a bit harder to find lists of what most consider rough fish.

I would also like to look into making my own jigs or tying flies.

dang to bad i wanted it to. oh well there will be more on craigslist before spring.

I think I am going to try getting a baitcasting reel and pole and learn that. I might even make spinners if I can figure out how to get the fish to attack the ones I have now.

[CK14]

1.) gain confidence in jerkbaits
2.) catch a 5lb+ smallie
3.) figure out the dunes at the potholes
4.) try and catch some fish sight fishing
5.) fish the state qualifiers and learn a lot

[tnj8222]

hey ck if you want to sight fish go to pine lake in issaquah on sight fish for smallies. go to the left of the launch, thats one of the best spawning points in that lake.
