What am I supposed to see here? Yes I'm new to the site

I'm with you on that one, trust me My problem is that the place that I want to fish at night is gated and I'm trying to get my boat out there! There's a few houses on the reservoir so I'll probably try to knock on a few doors and see if anyone is willing to let me use their spot as an access point.

How do you find good spots to night fish for big bass when most (possibly all) public reservoirs and lakes aren't open to the public at night?

Nice! I just made a couple rats of my own and stuck my first swimbait fish on it last Sunday! I posted it in the Grass Roots section, but any chance you could post a pic of the rat? I'm interested in the different designs of these things

Nice looking slammer! I just made one of my own - ill post something after I paint it. Let us know when you catch something on it!

She went 4#'s on the scale but seemed much bigger Working on a slammer right now!

Doesn't this make the tail too flimsy? Is there something you could add to the melted plastic while it's hot to make it stiffen up when it cools?

I started making a rat-style wake bait about a month ago and had no idea what I was doing having never even owned a swimbait before. This just happened to coincide with my increasing interest in using swimbaits to chase big bass. I made 2 of them since I made few mistakes on the first one (one light brown and one dark brown). You can see a little bit of the growing progress in the pictures, but not much since I didn't document the process very well. I took it out last Sunday night and threw around my first and crappier version since I know that if I caught one on my newer nicer version first that I'd never use the older one, but if if forced myself to use (and hopefully catch one on) the crappy one that I'd have confidence in both. I ended the night with my first swimbait fish ever on my first swimbait ever which happened to be my own creation! An all-around classic night for me that I'm sure I'll never forget. Just thought I'd share.
