    I use Dawn dishwashing soap and rubbing alcohol to clean my reels. The biggest problem I have is getting the lake gunk off of the reel seat and the outside screws.

    If I go to sleep on the floor, or sitting in the recliner, I tell my wife to just leave me. If she wakes me up and I go to bed then I can't get back to sleep. If I get myself up and go to bed then I don't have any sleep issues.

    I have the BPS Carbonlite in 6'6" mh/f. It has some backbone to it.

    It's October and that means Jitterbug time. The dinks were tearing it up from first light until the sun hit the water. After the Jitterbug bite died I got the last bass on a swimjig. I saw the snake on the way back to the car.

    My largest this year, so far, has been a 5-12 caught on a T-rigged Zoom Speedcraw in Sapphire. Close but not quite.

    Good Job. Congratulations!

    @Munkin That topwater is a H20 Xpress.

    Nice find!

    Black Grape by Zoom or Creme Scoundrel in Grape.

    This year I fished a lot of baits that have not seen water in a while, but the only new rookie bait I fished this year has been a 1/4 Mini Max. I'm about ready to send it back down to the farm club.

    If it gets warm enough in the afternoon for the turtles and bugs to come out I will fish with a Texas rigged UV Speedcraw. Other than that I stay with a weightless finesse worm, a weightless 4" Dinger, or a 3" Stiko on a split shot rig.

    That is an old humpback Rebel. I tried to clean it up and the rear hardware pulled all the way out of the lure.

    If I'm going to fish water that has a healthy population of sunnies and crappie sometimes I will bring the UL with me in case the bass bite is slow. Three years ago I caught a 2-1/2 lb bass on a 1/16 oz. spinner bait. That was the only bass I caught that day.

    Just going by feel, it is probably the Shimano SLX on the BPS 6'6" m/f Bionic Blade rod.
  15. Bankbeater
    The problem is that the rod is balanced for that specific reel. If you get a different reel it may feel off balance again. It's always been easier for me just to swap out the reel.

    It depends on what the cover is like and what tackle I'm using. There have been a few times when the vegetation was thick enough that I could just bury the bass in the weeds and run the boat over to pick it up.

    You caught some nice chunky smallies!

    The swim bait was half buried in the mud, the Rapala was up in the rocks, and the topwater was hanging up in a tree. I had to end up pitching the plastic worms The bag was full of water and by the looks of the worms, they had been exposed for quite some time.

    I like to bring a swim jig through the vegetation.

    I like to fish rock bluffs that go down deep. I usually try to get in close and cast parallel to the bluff with a jig so that it bounces off the rocks on the way down.
  21. Bankbeater
    I use mine as jig trailers. When the plastic worms get too small for trailers I use them for t-rigged Ned rigs.
  22. Bankbeater
    I try to fish with a new technique each year so I can learn it, but most of the time I’m going back to my confidence baits of a jig, crankbait, and plastic worm.
  23. Bankbeater
    Yep. I've cleared the cache and ran the security software, but it's not helping.
  24. Bankbeater
    When I go with my wife to Walmart I head to the fishing section as soon as I get into the store. We meet up later in the grocery section.

    The 2" Sassy Shad will catch anything that swims. It works great in winter for sunfish and crappie.
