I would have to assume that the “rivet” that holds the blade in place has come loose and is letting the blade move up on the shaft.
December 18th, 2010 at 12:58 pm
As the other two posters stated- keep your rod tip up and reel fast. Also check your blades they may have been stepped on and flattened out. But I suspect your reel has a slow gear ration and your line capacity is not full. I also suspect it is a spincast reel. Most have a very low gear ratio.

Here’s my advice on fishing in the heavy wind. Since you have tried most everything and had limited success, I doubt that any other lure suggestion will help that much. So that tells me your location is the problem I always pick a bank or inlet the wind is blowing the waves into, because the bait fish are being blown into it also. Bass in turn will feed on the bait fish in this situation.From March to the 1′st of June the wind blew daily in my area without hardly missing a day.Usually 20-25 mph. My best catches were always in the areas I described.I can only assume the bass were feeding on the bait fish that was forced against the bank and into the coves.Try it and see if your luck doesn’t change.They bit almost every lure I threw at them- spinner bait, rattle trap, bandit crank bait, and Texas rigged Zoom Baby Brush Hog with a sliding 1/4 ounce sinker.I like to use the heavier sinker when the wind is really kicking up Good luck!

I have caught a few on crank baits, but it is very rare. You need to get chicken liver, or some kind of blood bait designed for catfish. I have caught them on minnows as well. But lure fishing for catfish is not something you should do if you are targeting catfish.

Try sitting back and see what they are using. Something else, look at how the locals are setting up their fishing poles too, that could have something to do with the presentation.

An all around lure that I’ve used consistently with success after success from March in the spring, until well after the 1st frost and even into November, here in NW Indiana, has been the 10″ Berkeley “Original” Powerbait Worm. Sure, the 7″ worm works ok, but bigger bait = bigger fish, at least most of the time, as I have twice caught 8″ L/m bass on the 10″ worm, and many (sheesh, I’ve lost count, but many = lots & lots) up to 21 & 3/4″ L/m bass as well. Can you even imagine?The bass around here just simply hate this bait, no matter whether you fish it deadstick, or work it across the top of the water at a rapid pace, or any way in between. Just the other day, I was able to contact the folks @ Berkeley and ask what is going on with the “original” series Powerbait, as the only (Berkeley) soft plastics that are in the Cabela’s Master Spring Catalog is the Gulp products, (which I tried ‘em, but won’t buy/use them again because they get hard after you open the package, and you can’t reuse them like the “Original” Powerbait.) The other Q. I asked about was that nobody sells the 100 pack, packages in the colors that I use. I not only got an answer, but found out that I can get the colors that I want, in the quantity that I want, and I can live w/the price, too. So,… other than a jig & minnow for walleye, & white bass, my all around favorite is…….The “Original” 10″ Powerbait Worm. Now how did you guess that it would be my # 1 choice. And No,…..they’re not giving me anything free for plugging their product, darn it all.Goodluck & Good fishing

I have used this bait before — you are correct re tuning occurs. What this bait is trying to show is the predator after prey scenario. The commotion on the surface caused by the buzzbait blade represents baitfish on the surface, while the extended arm appears to be a predator chasing prey. Normal buzzbaits mostly look like one item — ie a frog or a rat. Most gamefish that are looking for a meal will target other smaller fish going after even smaller fish. While chasing its prey – the fish will not be monitoring its surrounding thus allowing a larger fish to eat it. This bait is modeled after the racing bait which featured a buzzbait blade connected to a long arm with a lipless crankbait beneath it. This bait is good to show the fish something different so it does work; however you can use wire to trail another bait behind a traditional buzzbait — hold on you will probably get more fish on the tail behind bait. Good Luck

Hmm problems with nymphs… I used to teach a small class for my local fly shop, as I know the owner and had some spare time, anyway, i found the main reason beginners( I know you aren’t a beginner, so i don’t intend to cause any offense;) but the reason that most people seem to fail is they actually “fish them” they retrieve them, and in cases strip them back. Its vital to fish them slowly, if not even static in cases, find the correct depth and fish them from there. Fluorocarbon helps a lot when fishing nymphs- i either use airflo g3 or frog hair fluorocarbon. Its also vital to match the hatch as im sure your aware. The PTN or HE nymphs work best for this as they represent lots of insects in the pupa stage. If you still fail, then a weighted version might be best, letting the current move the flies, by using a floating line and allowing an arc to form often works best.In very strong wind a midge tip like those by RIO where the first 2 feet is a slow sinking clear intermediate stops them pulling around too quickly. Anyway back to your question, i find that fishing most flies in different situations works best, i never just dismiss a fly as “useless” and never use it again, it often pays of to try them in different conditions.Airflo tippet(makes excellent leaders for anything sub-surface)http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCatcat20431-cat600599&id=0043719317701a&navCount=1&podId=0043719&parentId=cat600599&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=IK&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat601233&hasJS=trueFrog hair tippethttp://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/pod/standard-pod-wrapped.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/pod-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCatcat20431-cat20439-cat350034&rid=&indexId=cat350034&navAction=push&masterpathid=&navCount=3&parentType=index&parentId=cat350034&id=0018012If you still have problems, then the chances are your fishing them either too high or low. You can use a strike indicator to stop this, or my favorite method “New Zealand style” simply attach a parachute dry and add around 3 feet of fluorocarbon(frog hair for this due to its low diameter) attach the nymph to this.Adding Gink to the poly yarn on the wingpost of the parachute helps it to float further.This hatch chart will help you decide on the correct nymph, often one with a gold rib will help a lot.http://www.orvis.com/intro.asp?dir_id=758&subject=253

you can’t really compare spinning reels and bitcasters because they are completely different. Unfortunately baitcasters are difficult to use at first because of the way the spool is positioned. when you cast a baitcaster the spool actually spins unlike a spinning reel. this makes for longer casts but if you don’t stop the spool once your lure hits the water you will get a huge backlash because the spool will keep spinning but the line stops going out.http://bigtimefish.com/catches/HI03252005/mini-PICT0396.JPG(this is a larger than average backlash but it happens)baitcasters are better for heavier techniques and bigger fish. Techniques such as spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, swimbaits, and texas rigging are best for baitcasters while lighter applications like finnesse worming, dropshoting and using light lures is best for spinning. Baitcasters can be a pain in the @ss but they are worth it once you master them.

Dark water= dark baitsClear water = lighter colored and natural colored baits.

1.) What are you’re favorite lures?I love spinnerbaits & plastic worms. Spinnerbaits because, you fish ‘em fast, and they work virtually anywhere. And plastic worms because, they catch a lot of fish, and they work everywhere too. I just got a new spinnerbait too, a Strike King Mini-Spinnerbait, soon to try it out. Down size the baits for winter to catch fish. That SK mini shore looks like a dandy! For plastic worms, Zoom or Culprit ones rigged texas style, in grape or purple color works great.2.) Why can’t i catch bass on crankbaits and stuff like that?By, “stuff like that” i think you mean poppers, stick baits, prop baits, crankbaits, etc. To be a better crankbait fisherman, you just need to practice, practice, and practice. Pick up a cheap, but reliable crank like the Bomber Model A, for $4.69. Good bait. You”ll get the hang of it, try different depths, cover, retrieve speeds, and bump them off of a lot of cover, da bass love it.Hey, you need any more Q’s, send me an email with your Questions and I’ll be glad to answer ‘em.

Addicted To Fishing is right!If worms are working why change? Goldenfeather is right!Topwater fishing is the “Fillet Mignon” of fishing!(FYI: “Fillet Mignon” is one of the finest cuts of steak.)Addicted2Fishing is also right about a “Jitterbug” lure! (great nightfishing lure & super easy to use!)Remember that you have a “magic hour” right before the sun set’s. After it gets fully “dark”, wait 1-2 hours so the Bass’s eye’s ,(and senses), get adjusted to full darkness. Go back at 10:30-11 pm. This gives the bass time to adjust to “night-conditions”. This is true for most nightfishing. Even Walleye need time to adjust to “nightime lighting”. (And NO, this isn’t my opinion, it’s a proven fact that Bass need 1-2 hours after dark to adjust their “eyes”.)PS: I know you guys are loving the “buzzbait scenario”, but don’t you think a Buzzbait is a bit “overkill” in a small farm pond. The farm ponds I fished as a boy were “quiet” and “froggy”. I would “sneak” to the edge, trying not to distrub the croaking frogs, and cast a Rapala or 6-8 inch worm. Not to be a “kill-joy” but the typical Farm-pond “et-ables” for a Bass are crawfish, Bugs, Frogs, leeches, and snakes. I’m not “feeling” a Buzzbait would match any of those. And, IMHO, a buzzbait may “freak” the fish out. But I could be wrong! You should try it! Then go buy a Arbogast “Jitterbug”& some Berkley PowerWorms in Red Shad, (rig’m Texas style). Update us on how your Buzzbait fishing goes! Good luck!

Try the Yum Dinger or Yamamoto Yamasenko. I have found that they work everywhere. You can either wacky rigg it or texas rig. They will both work wonders but texas rigging is more promising. If Dixon lake is really clear, try ones that have darker colors like black, blues, and reds.The swinbait might work ok but they are not always promising.The best time to use a popper or buzz bait if right before, at, and shortly after sunrise. I would prefer it in calmer water but the buzz bait will work if it is windy…NOT the popper.Rapalas are another great choice. Fish them just into the weed line and when it gets hung up in the weeds jerk it out and will cause a reaction strike. This is a great technique. I would use line of about 15 lb test or more for this though.

“Ninja fishing” at golf ponds isn’t hard because those fish usually receive very little fishing pressure. Bites usually won’t be wide open this late at night but bites will be pretty consistent.Buzzbaits could be used at night but they won’t be your top choice. They tend to land bigger fish but they won’t work all the time. Buzzbaits work the best when the water is mirror smooth on warmer, cloudy days/nights. Soft plastic worms will be a much better choice for you. Fish them a little slower and use less weight at night. Worm design don’t matter as much with those inexperienced fish but dark colors will make a difference. Don’t stand too close to water and keep your movements small. Work your lure all the way to the edge of the water because fish could get very close to shore in those little ponds. If fish were a little sluggish, you could “wake” them a little with crankbaits.I don’t recommend “ninja fishing” on golf ponds because tickets for trespassing won’t be too cheap and you will need to appear in court for those tickets. Your fishing equipments will be confiscated as evidence most of the time and many courts don’t like to return them to you. Depending on where you’re at, some security guards won’t hesitate shooting you with shotgun shells loaded with rock salt. After all, shooting rock salts are more effective than calling and waiting for cops to arrive; people who got shot by rock salt usually won’t file complaints against the shooter and the percentage of repeat offenses was almost zero.PS: They used to let you go with just a warning but things changed a lot now. It really isn’t worth it anymore.

There are a few “set in stone” rules but, in general rules are meant to be broken. however.there are a few “rules of thumb” that pay off when properly applied.buzzbaits are designed to be noisy. A prime time to fish these baits is early in the morning around cover. Color is not so much a priorty as hue. Fishing the dark hours of the day you would do good to try that black and red bait.It will show up better to the fish. Due to the commotion you are creating it stands to reason that you are fishing a bait that in imitating something on top of the water like a bird or rat or something along that nature. Also, your bait is moving relatively fast so other than using that black bait in darker environments you can really use whatever color you like! You are really going after a reaction bite so throw and crank to every hole you can get that bait into and aout of. Some of the prime places to throw it is around grassy areas, along break lines along laydown logs and submerged or exposed brush, etc. If you don’t get hung every now and then you are not fishing tight enough to cover. be brave. the exhileration of getting that topwater bite, especially early in the morning, is is worth a ot more than the cost of that bait. You can buy them anywhere but you can get that excitement but in just a few places.BASS (Bass Anglers Sportsman Society) has more than enough information to help you!

WEAR GLOVES that is your safest bet on handling catfish…I caught an ocean catfish in Florida and had my dad take it off lol because I aint getting stung and he got stung in his hand and was cursing and swearing and bitching and moaning it was hillarious/tragic at the same time. catfish rarely bite you and if they do its like getting scrated or something not soo bad…your supposed to grab the catfish right under his primary fins and DO NOT GRAB ONTO THEM!!! or else your in for a hell of a day
