Has Anyone Ever Used The Bass Fishing Matrix?

I have not, but if you really read the site, and read between the lines, I think they leave out some of the smaller variables.  Which can really make a big difference in some situations.  I read it and if I would of had the extra money, I would have bought it.  I still might.There is another site with a book about secrets the pros don't want you to know.  This book comes with a book about knot tying, and all sorts of software for the computer.  I think it may be a better deal, but in the same sense, it seems to good to be true, so it probably is.  I put the link up for you to check out.  I hope someone responds to this question with a yes so I can read the review myself.  If you get it, let me know, you can e-mail me.  I think it will greatly increase your chances, but it's kinda like reading a book about how to ride a bike, you can read it 20 times.  But until you get on the bike and practice, you'll never really do that good.\nP.S. I put up 2 sites with a plethera of free tips. Enjoy!!

http://users.1st.net/basslures/\nhttp://bassresource.com/fish/tipsindex.html\n\nTry these 2 sites, they are a big help.  I read both and applied them this past weekend, and caught some nice Bass. They are equally great and both offer free info about all sorts of topics.  You have to look alittle to find exactly what you want.  Try the second link first. I recently got a book called Bass Wisdom by Homer Circle. I got it at Border's books for about 20 dollars.  It has alot of very good techniques and tactis for fishing everything from crankbaits, to tubes, to jigs, to grubs, anything you can possibly fish with. As well as some tips on rigs to atract bigger bass.  Have fun!

If you try the johnson fishing home page... and go to links... they have a guy who has put together a list, gallery and information on old johnson lures and equipment.  You can also try antiquefishing.com .... they are a great resource for finding and evaluating old lures and equipment... I use them to help "decode" some of oddities I come across.

White bass fishing is fun and they are also good to eat.\nI prefere to fish for them at night. I use small minnows for bait.You can hang a lantern over the water or get a floating light that hooks to a battery.I like to fish from a boat and just drop the line over the side without a bobber.By keeping the line tight you will feel the fish grab\nthe minnow. You may also use a slip bobber which works great. L.O.L.

I have not seen one, but it would not surprise me at all if they are out there. You could probably find one at a sporting supply store. If you can find one you could buy one that is made to look like a mounted trophy (or even use a real trophy fish you have caught). Just attach a spiral holder to the bottom instead of mounting it on a board.

Not sure about arkansas but for catfish i have always used a treble hook with a sinker about a foot abouve the hook.  and on the hook put 1 live worm and and a dead minnow.  If you have minnows for small mouth and crappie fishing just set up the ones that don't make it on yopur catsish rigs.

I always use a black bullet weight.  I don't know if it works any better than the other ones because I've never tried any other ones except regular lead color and it does work better than that. \n\nAll those flashy colors are a good idea, and after reading your question, I had an idea.  Paint the weight colors that match the bottom of the area you're fishing.  That way the weight blends in and all the fish sees is the soft plastic.  I'm gonna go buy a couple things of bullet weights and start painting.

It is a value issue. If you fish 2-3 time a year a Loomis is not practical.  The blank is what makes the rod.  The modulous.  If you fished with an ugly stick for a week then picked up a Loomis you would feel the difference.   As for high quality St. Croix rods offer some comparable quality without as high of a price but still pricey.  Fenwick has a great line of rods.  Bass pro and GAnder Mountain offer nice rods from their repsective stores that fish nice as well.  If you have the money it can be worth the investment.  I use a Loomis for Carolina rigging for bass and I can really tell when I am dragging sand as opposed to pea gravel as opposed to rocks etc.  Quailty blank and the components(reel seat, guides cork handle-which the blanks on the Loomis go through the handle) not all rods do this so it is indeed more sensative as a result.  Quality is the big difference it is a better designed and built rod than the average rod.  Good fishing!

I only fish for bass, so here is my list for bass. I would try Rebel pop-r's in different sizes and colors. Hula poppers, heddons zara spook for big bass, try different propeller lures, the Rapala original floating minnow. Try some different frogs that can float over weeds, and provoke vicious strikes, you could also try different floating plastic baits from 3x by strike king, they have all sorts of plastics that float like lizards, worms, crawfish, etc... I live in PA, but there are alot of constants in bass fishing.  If your not producing fish, vary your retrieve speed, and technique. In clear water use realistic lures, in cloudy water use brighter lures like firetiger, in muddy waters try lures that make noise so the fish can zero in on them. A few examples are spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, and wide wobble crankbaits. Same with at night, use noisy lures. But I have also got fish at night with worms, which don't make any noise. Try different things till you hit the right lure.  Tight lines

I own a Heritage Feather-lite Angler, and I love it. It's great for creeks, and around the banks of small lakes or ponds www.heritagekayaks.com  let me know what you think.

You can use just about anything for catfish... and yes... I have used anchovies as bait before... with limited success... but I also caught a stripped bass that night too.

Different strokes for different folks... and different lines for different time (and tactics).  I have used Spider Stealth, and yes, I think its a pretty good line.  But I also have spools of Berkley and Shakespeare.  I like the new braided line for its strength and low memory, basically I use it for bass..... for river fishing, I spool up with the spider.  Buy a few small spool and which you like better.  Doing your own tests will give you results that work with your style and under your conditions.\n\nHappy Fishing

Bass fishing is much better.

I would have to agree to Markus, try soft plastics.  I caught a 5 lb largemouth on a YUM 4inch "dinger", it's like a senko type stick worm.  I actually let the line loose, and held the worm in my hand, and threw it up into the air.  I found that a certain "kerplunk" made the bass hit the worm like it was going out of style.  I was night fishing in a heavy pressure, over-fished lake in western Pa.  If it is rather hot, I would try a YUM 7 inch ribbontail worm.  They produce great strikes from some nice bass. I would have to suggest a slow retrieve with a few little jerks to make the tail flutter very fast.  It almost imitates a snake.    Of all bass lures, I am the most confident using soft plastics.  As always, keep your line tight when using plastics, and your rod at a 9 o'clock position.  When you feel the bass take the bait, lower the tip, reel in the slack, and set the hook with a good sweep up.  I find that in my area that watermelon is the most productive color at anytime.  I would suggest trying soft plastics in watermelon first, and then when you can use that type of worm efficiently, maybe try other colors.  Tight lines.
