In stained water and murkey water, the water depth that light would not penetrate much is prob around the 15-20ft range. In absolutly clear water I wouldn't know prob around the 500ft range.

sweet good reponse.

The way I fish the, I use a barrel swivel this helps the bait from rapping around the line and a leader of about 2 feet. Color, baitfish and white ice.

Depends, if your bouncing it off the bottom that's as close as your gonna get mimicking a crawdad. I have had better success with the bright red crawdad rat-l-trap.

Who would be your favorite classic rock guitarest? If you have more than one that's cool Mine would be Perter Framton, and that harmonix he does is sick.

Welcome.

sometimes I will use half of a fluke.

Thanks for that info. i'll look into the line.

Silent are good during spawn, after that you have to take in effect how the rattle will help you through: Rain,cloudy-days,wind,and deeper water, the rattling will trigger a bite for sure.

Most definitly, especially if you are after the big ones, me I preferibly like to fish a lot of structure during the post-spawn, a fluke is a most or your favorite swim bait....if they are not in the trees I fish deeper like 8-10ft most all summer,extremely good fishing and oxygen levels at this depth. Humps or ledges that are close to the channel are also great places. Morning and evening are your best bets.

True that.

They work very well during this time of year.

Bass feed on crawfish year round, the crawfish is prob in my op one of the bass favorite foods.

Any kind of dark colors.

As long as the plastics are in an air tight compartment via a plastic bag, it will not matter, as long as the baits aren't exposed to a long spand of unwanted fragrences.

It's not easy at first,NOTHING is, but the time put into something you love is priceless.

Zoom baits for durability

I wonder if they would be a good continder with the camel spider?

Ask your district wildlife biologist.

my buddy fishes the chowan

If you can view the pond in the UV protective sunglasses, you still may be able to see if there were bass beds,if so there are probably some mothers in there....the dads might be deserted....

You answerd most of your question. Learn to fish different patterns and techniques, and how bass use seasonal pattern.
