sounds like you got the patern down pat....[cool]
I do agreee that the drop is the hottest time for strikes. and you have to jerk it as if you are setting the hook just before retreiving, mostly because you probably are. most of the drop offs by the bass are poor hook settings.[

them smallies can be skiddish at times. I usualy hit mine right before dark, I cant get my boat out much any more either. so I walk in up to my tummy button and cast in a 360 dgree radious. I walk back and forth following the contour of the lake moving slowly as not to spook the fishies[]
this year is the first year I have ever had any luck using them rubber worms. and yes most of the time I just rehook as well, that is untill there isnt much of a worm left to hook. what seemed to make the difference for me this year on the rubber worms is that I tied my own harnesses. making different colors. and I found that they prefer different colors over another at diferent times of the day and it can change form day to day. so I have to keep several on hand when I go out.[]
Thanks for the tips Fisher [
] there are a couple there I dont normaly use but will deffenatly devote some time to..[cool]
