    Gold is right up there with chrome / blue back and crawfish color.

    Good selection of baits!

    I use to peg my weights, but I never noticed any difference in the bite or the action. Now I never peg weights.

    The only frog color I've ever used is white bottom with a green pattern on top.

    I've never used it. When I get home I go through my plastics and if they are not torn too badly, then I just melt the plastic back together with a hot knife.

    I've used one of the red BPS Extreme Qualifier bags for the past 9 years now.

    Good video! This one hits the mark.

    I went fishing several times in March and April when it was cold enough for ice to form in the shallow water. On the trips when it was warmer, the wind gusted so hard I had to take cover back in coves or just forget the boat altogether and fish off of the bank.

    Planning all week for a trip on the weekend and then have the weather change. This past weekend was the first weekend this year where we didn't have 20+ mph winds, or a cold front move through. Naturally it was Mother's Day weekend.

    Pitching a jig into cover, or working it over the top across structure. I love it when the jig settles back down to the bottom and you feel that thump on the end.

    They are a blast on light tackle. The biggest I have ever caught was around 2 lb., but boy did it fight.

    The lakes I fish are stocked with largemouth, catfish, some musky, some hybrid bass, striped bass, and tons of sunfish. It is a rare trip when I only catch bass.

    If you can save the license to your phone then great, but if you need a network to pull the license then you might have a problem in areas that have no coverage.

    Certain rigs get certain line sizes. Baitcasters that I fish with jigs, big Texas rigs, and large moving baits get 15#. Spinning reels get 10#, and the ML and UL get 6#. I have extra spools for the spinning reels if I need 8# lines added.

    Zoom in the 6" size.

    I look for the sunfish that are spawning. Most of the time I can see them from the shore. After I find them I start fancasting out past the beds to the bass that are sitting out in the deeper water.

    For me, it depends on how the rest of the day has been going. If I have been catching bass off and on using different baits then I will experiment around and fish with different baits. If I haven't done squat all day then I will keep using what is getting bit.

    There is a park with three smaller sized lakes on it about 2-1/2 miles from my house. The farthest I will drive these days is about 1-1/2 hours. Usually my trips are about a half hour from the house.

    Earlier in the year the largemouth were tearing up spinnerbaits now the bass don't want them. Swim jigs are still working as long as you run them through vegetation. The topwater bite should pick up, along with the baits fished on the bottom.

    I'll either use a split shot rig or just go weightless. If I'm using anything else I will keep the bait moving and try not to let it get into the rocks.

    On sunny days I wear a buff and a wide brim straw hat. Arms and legs get Banana Boat with at least a 50 rating. I reapply every couple of hours.

    My wife keeps talking about taking a trip somewhere with her sister. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but no luck so far.

    In the spring I use baitcasters exclusively. As the water warms up after the spawn I switch over to spinning tackle. By July I am using baitcasters for jigs, Texas rigs, and maybe some punching. Everything else is done with spinning tackle.

    If there is thick vegetation growing then I will raise the motor and park the boat right on top of a weed mat. The boat will usually sit in one spot unless the wind is really blowing. The mat hides the boat from the fish below and I can punch the mat or cast around to the edge of growth.

    Nice smallies!
