    During the summer I catch more with a 1/8 jig with some type of craw trailer on it. Casting a 3/8 or 1/2 jig is a waste of time.

    Fluke, Senko, and plastic worm. Weightless is the only way to go in the vegetation.

    When I was a kid my dad and his friends would take me fishing and after about 6 or 7 hours they would be ready to come back home, I would complain because I wanted to stay and fish longer. They used to say "You'll be our age someday". These days my fishing trips are 6 to 8 hours long.

    I don't know about hydrilla, but it wiped out the lilypads in one of the small lakes I fish in.

    @TOXIC I had the same problem years ago with the ArmorAll protectant. It looked good when it was first applied but after a while, the dashboard and tires cracked and looked rotted. I was advised by a body shop to stop using that product. The cleaner on the other hand has always been top notch.

    Welcome to the forums. Sorry I can't be of any help. I'm on the other side of the state. Did you check the MO. Conservation website?

    I've had better luck with the Baby Brush Hogs than with the regular size Brush Hog. I get a lot of bluegill bites with the regular size.

    Most of the time I fish an unpainted weight the way it comes from the store. If I want to change the color then I use a Sharpie and make it black.

    Welcome to the forums.

    When they first came out I saw a lot of anglers fishing with them. These days I never see anyone fishing with them.

    I'll try a spinnerbait and a lipless crankbait. When the bass are just hanging there and not moving too much, I will try to circle them and cast at them from different angles. If I don't get any bites in 15 or 20 minutes I move on.

    Wow, that's cool!

    I can take the heat pretty well so I stay out of the water. The one time I did go in for a swim I was retrieving the top half of a two piece rod and that pond water wasn't the cleanest.

    For years we used Bee-Jay bait. These days I'm using cut bait for catfishing.

    That's great news!

    Ouch!

    One thing I have noticed with my knot tying that has really helped me is to tie the knot with a longer tag end and to really wet down the knot before tightening it down.

    Black is always a good choice.

    I keep the boxes. I have them stacked up on the end of my work table.

    I've broken a rod in a tailgate, fallen down a hill with one, snapped one while pulling a snag loose without enough slack in the line, and dropped a rod while putting on a new reel. Never on a hookset.

    I try not to get into a pattern while retrieving popper or walking bait. I might work the bait fast, or chug it, give it some small pops, or reel it in with barely any action all in the same cast.

    I'm in the barbed camp. I don't want to make it easy for the bass to come up out of the water and throw the hook.

    If the structure isn't too deep I will start off with a topwater. If the bass don't want to come up after that I will try a jig or Texas rig.

    Not all lakes and ponds are the same. Fishing history can help identify the differences.
