  1. Good job @FishTank! It looks like a brand new reel.
  2. Thanks for all you have done over the years. Enjoy Retirement.
  3. I don't like anything over 6'6". Sometimes those are too long.
  4. Ultravibe Speed Craw.
  5. I hate fishing lilypads. If your hook gets stuck in one of the roots, then your done.
  6. I was finally able to get out fishing again yesterday. Fished for 6 hours I managed 8 small bass. Most of them came on a 1/8 ounce jig worked through the coontail.
  7. I'm in hay fever season.
  8. That is amazing. I wonder what type of forage is in that water.
  9. Years ago I spooled on the Stren clear blue and the Stren golden line. These days I use Big Game green most of the time. I've had fish sit and stare at all three colors, but this seems to mostly in water that sees a lot of fishing pressure.
  10. Most of the time around here the bass will bite craws better than creatures, but a creature will work if the conditions are right. Earlier this year when we had high water from all the rain, a Texas rigged Super Hog fished in the flooded grass was the ticket.
  11. I fish with chartreuse, black, or a crawfish color with a lot of orange in it. Most of the time around here they are near some type of cover.
  12. I would start off with a weightless fluke or a weightless senko. If conditions are such that you need a weight then I would use a Texas rig with a very light weight on it.
  13. If I'm getting sunfish bites out in open water then I usually move to a new spot. If the sunfish aren't afraid to leave the cover then I thinking there are no larger predator fish around,
  14. I know this one! A black Jitterbug. I've had a lot of anglers call it an old fashioned lure.
  15. Tried and true 90% Something new 10% I get out on the water once a week, two or three times if I have some time off from work. With limited time I don't like to experiment.
  16. This is what I thought of, but I didn't know the name of it. I can see a young one going down to the water's edge after a sunfish, and a big bass going after it.
  17. I wouldn't ask the other guy if he has another bait, but if you already have one just like it in your tackle bag then I say go for it.
  18. I store my skirts the same way I store my line. Out the light and heat down in the basement in a drawer.
  19. I use the 4-3/8" and the 2-3/4" size floating minnow. The larger size catches bass, but the smaller size on an ultralight will catch everything. Around here they work better than jerkbaits for bass.
  20. St. Charles here, welcome aboard.
  21. Welcome neighbor! St. Charles here.
  22. Man @WaskaCrank12, one hook is bad enough, but two. Yikes!
  23. After hooking a bass, landing it is my primary goal. Fighting it is fun, but secondary.
  24. I tried a left handed baitcaster a couple of years ago. My brain just couldn't get used to it. After a cast I would start off trying to retrieve like it was a right handed reel. Bad news if I needed to bring the bait in quick.
