Poor Man Plopper

I have had very good luck with 20lb Power Pro. I feel it cast better than fluorocarbon.

Scott I will be there at 10 Saturday.

Is that just tied on a worm style hook?

There are good articles in the January / February issue of the Bass Master magazine on both the Neko rig and the Ned rig

Very good video Terry. You stay on them and if I can help you just let me know what you need. Fished that with you and it would be terrible to loose that beautiful little water!

That was a fantastic fish great job. It states in article that he held that fish for about an hour waiting game for the scale! My question is how much stress did that fish go thru! Just looking to see what others think about the effects of the hour the fish was held before being released.

I will be there great food and great people!

Scott put me down for Saturday the 12th and leave on the 15th. Deposit check is going out in mail today. Thank you for putting it together again. Had a great time this year and will be looking forward to next year's trip.

Go out enjoy yourself and have fun!

Terry had a great time. Beautiful day great people doesn't get any better than that. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the area!

I have been messing with the Ned Rig some this spring and have had very good success with it. Seems to work when nothing else does. Fished a private lake today and it was lights out. Had all 39 acres to myself. Caught 12 largemouth bass 14 to 16 inches and 1 at 19inches. 12 crappies 10 to 12 inches. It is something that is definitely worth exploring. I have been throwing it on a 1/16 Gopher Mushroom jig and the TRD in the color they call The Deal. I have also had luck on the color they call PB&J. Try and you will surpised!

Eric thank you for the tips. Hoping weather stays fishable rain is no problem but that lighting could be bad!
