This is when you Bass Pro Shops deliver to your work.

Went to the swimmin' hole for the last swim of the summer yesterday and my buddy who is a product manager for a camera store had a new underwater camera to test. Seeing the forage from the bass's point of view will certainly improve my angling skills

Go fishing at the ***-crack of dawn and be back before she wakes up.

I think any baitfish regulations are in place to address invasive species issues, I'm sure anything you pull out of a lake is okay to throw back in as bait.

Quantum code reel, All-Star 6'6" MH trigger rod w/ 50lb spiderwire braid (have always fished with cheaper stuff, this is the nicest freshwater rig I've ever owned). I backed with mono and spooled up to 1/8" from lip. Watched a few youtube videos on baitcasting first and have had no problems. Fished all morning without any backlashes. I have alot of experience trolling saltwater with conventional reels, so i know backlash, but was still surprised that I didn't have any trouble casting. Had a Strike King KVD rattling square bill in firetiger tied on, no leader.

Got a BC setup for my birthday today. Took the day off and hit the lake this morning, pulled in a 15 incher on it (my biggest since I started bass fishing this spring). First time I've ever caught anything on a crankbait

How about super flukes? I have a few hard jerkbaits, but no plastic.

Everything?

Thanks SF, but I was looking for some more general colors used across the industry, chartreuse, firetiger, PB&J etc... Any ideas?

What are your opinions on what common bait colors best imitate sunfish and bluegill in a stained water environment? In low light? In bright light? I'm trying to "Match my Hatch" but I'm not sure if I'm hitting the mark.

Hey northeast guys - what are your favorite baits and techniques for fall? It will be here before we know it! I don't have any yet, started freshwater this year, fill me in.

They dont list it on the site. What about the "Code" from Quantum?

Hey guys, New here from Northwest Jersey. Been a saltwater guy for a few years and just started fresh this spring.

What rod/reel do you guys recommend for around $150 total? My birthday is coming up

Hey guys, I've been a saltwater fisherman for a few years and decided to try fresh this year. I've got a few months under my belt at this point. I fish from the bank in a few lakes and ponds near my house. The lake I fish primarily is pretty heavy with weeds and cover, and I have had most of my luck this spring/summer fishing texas-rigged plastics(summer) and hard jerkbaits(spring). All of this with a spinning setup. I haven't had any luck on crankbaits, but would like to keep giving this a try. I'd like to give a bait caster a try, but is there any reason why I would need it? Will I have an easier time fishing through heavy cover? Could it improve my crank bait presentation?
