  1. Great gift. Happy Anniversary!
  2. I've already been out a couple of times this year to some smaller ponds. They still have a lot of dead vegetation around the bank, which really limited my bait selection. Swim jig. Vibrating jig. Spinnerbait. Texas rig.
  3. I've got an Abu 4600C3 that I got used back at the end of 2005. It was probably about 10 years old at that time. It was the main reel I used for moving baits until the middle of 2018. Now it is semi-retired, and spooled with braid. I use it to punch mats now.
  4. I have a few of them, but there is one size and color I always take with me.
  5. Depending on the water I am fishing I will be using a swim jig, Texas rig, spinnerbait , crankbait, or lipless crankbait.
  6. Around here if the wind is blowing hard enough to make the water do that then I will be fishing from the bank or not at all.
  7. Nope. I think I will wait a while
  8. I kept all of my dad's baits after he passed away so I have well over 100 lipless crankbaits.
  9. Wind direction isn't as important to me as how hard the wind is blowing. If I know the wind is going to be gusting then I look for a smaller size lake with hills, or a lot of trees, growing around it.
  10. This is from last fall
  11. Lipless crankbait, shallow or mid depth crankbait, spinnerbait, and swim jig.
  12. I caught this bass a couple of years ago. The green bait is mine and the pink one was stuck deep in the bass' throat. I'm not sure how long it was in there but I had to use pliers to get it out.
  13. For some reason I am picturing that toad on a punch rig.
  14. I've never used Lew's, but I have an SLX that is smooth and it will cast out a good distance.
  15. St. Croix Premier 6'6" m/f BPS Carbonlite 2 6'6" m/f if you don't mind the micro guides.
  16. I fish them on a Texas rig and split shot rig.
  17. Nowhere to fish where I work. If there was, I probably wouldn't get anything done.
  18. My first largemouth of the year. I caught her fishing a Texas rig in some dead lily pads. I never felt a bite, the rod just loaded up with weight. I pulled back on the rod thinking I was pulling the bait free and that's when I knew it was a fish.
  19. Absolutely huge!
  20. Biggun!
  21. Nice smallie!
  22. R.I.P.
  23. About a month ago I had a nasty cold and was doing the same thing. What saved me was that I didn't feel like getting up to get the card.
  24. No brand loyalty here. If I have a good experience with a reel, I will search that make and model first when looking to buy new. If the reviews are bad I move on to something else.
  25. I fish with red or orange baits when the water is muddy. I don't worry about the water temperature.
