    You will have to find where the panfish are holding. When the bass bite gets tough I fish with a Texas-rigged 3" Stik-O on a split shot rig. The green sunfish, bluegill, and warmouth love that thing.

    Green Pumpkin, Watermelon Candy, and Black Grape. These three will pretty much cover any water clarity that I run across.

    I need more hooks. Other than that I don't really need anything, but I haven't been on any tackle websites in a few weeks either so I may need something I haven't thought of.

    With the drought we are having most of the water is down 3 to 4 feet. It has wiped out the vegetation and you can really see the humps, holes and brush piles.

    Most of the time I will use Google Maps or Google Earth. These small lakes don't have any topo information so I usually drive out to take a look at them before going fishing.

    If I can find the time I'd like to try fishing some of the reservoirs over in southern Illinois. If not then I will stick to the small lakes and ponds that are around my area.

    Don't feel too bad @ol'crickety. This dink was from back on Dec. 21.

    When I'm fishing a lipless out of a boat I just make sure I have the lure retriever on board. When fishing from the bank I will try and cast out a Texas rig to try and get a feel for what is around on the bottom. It won't be 100% accurate, but you'll get an idea of where to cast.

    Congratulations!

    The jerk baits bite was slow this year, only catching a couple in the springtime. I finally caught a bass fishing with a lipless crankbait and bladed jig in November.

    I had some problems with the retailers, but not shipping. We received everything when they said we would.

    I fished a lot of swim jigs this year. More than bottom contact jigs. The only time I didn't fish them was when the vegetation got thick in the summer, and the bass didn't want to come out from the mats.

    Welcome to the forums. There are a lot of nice smallie streams down in southern Missouri.

    Missouri resident license is $12.00. Nonresident is $49.00. They expire at the end of February but are valid for the entire year.

    It depends on what type of cover and what the water clarity is like. I'll make long casts to the outside of a brush pile if the water is clear and there is no vegetation growing. If the lake is all weeded up then I'll get close to the brush and pitch into it.

    My wife tells me to go fishing when she gets tired of hearing me talk about fishing.

    I wish I had that problem.

    I like the Bitsy Flip and the Strike King KVD swimjig.

    I was fishing in a cove a couple of years ago when a fog bank rolled right across the lake. It was a little bit unnerving to see how fast it moved across the water.

    Husky Jerks remind me of Rogues. Both have been around for a while and both catch bass.
  21. Bankbeater
    Small 1/8 jig with a small trailer to keep the profile low, or a small bait on a split shot rig.

    I haven't used a ned rig in a few years. Where I fish it either gets snagged or it picks up a ton of vegetation.
  23. Bankbeater
    I just play it by ear and wing it until I get a feel for what the bass are wanting. Sometimes I need to do a complete 180 and use a different bait than everyone else and then sometimes I just have to change the presentation or change up the retrieve a bit.
  24. Bankbeater
    Very sorry for your loss.

    Netbaits Tiny Paca Chunk to give the bait a smaller profile.
