You can always use a regular backpack. I use both, depending on where I'm fishing. I have a BPS extreme qualifier which can be a bit cumbersome at times. However it holds a lot of tackle and it is on its third season(which is amazing) When I'm going the less traveled route I use one of my smaller backpacks.

Haven't seen those yet, but I did see two colors of Havoc Pit Boss now being displayed. Our fishing sections are being changed in our local Walmarts. No more Seaguar or Stren flourocarbon for starters, just vanish. Gamakatsu and Mustad hooks are also gone.

Megastrike on all plastics for me. Original and crawfish.

Owner twist locs on all of my plastic stick baits, Yamamoto helped in the design.

Nope, I've ordered megastrike and pro cure online without a problem. Tw usually does a good job on packaging.

I'll use a Senko for all three phases, lipless and a spinnerbait also come into play.

Someone got hooked by a chatterbait.

Some of us a little south of you already started, kinda sort of. It was a bit odd fishing soft water in February here in Michigan last week. However as they say all good things must come to an end, currently snowing and 25 degrees as I write this.

A TFO 6'9" med spinning rod paired with a Okuma rtx 30s. 5" senko, ned rig, spinnerbait.

You could try changing the hook to see if that makes a difference. That is one of the advantages of the freedom baits.

Entertaining read.

Just to make things clear, these are not the PQ2, these are the discontinued models. My receipt said $79.99 regular price, not the $99 as stated in the ad. A little trickery going on here. Still a nice reel for the price, just not as big a savings.

Last time it was a home cooking lake, so does Casey Ashley win it again if he qualifies?

From bobber stops to boxing memories, what a thread. LOL

Over expansion will doom you every time.

Looking for a big push from Mueller in day two.

Weightless senko.

Yes, you have the same picks no matter how many groups you are in.

Looks like you have officially announced it. It is interesting that the original thread is gone. Perhaps Glenn can repost the jigs now that it is official.

Simply based on the fact that the smallmouth record was broken in September and now stands at 9.98 lbs. A largemouth record for Michigan could be lurking just about anywhere.

Fiskars child proof scissors. On clearance at my local walmart for ONE DOLLAR. I guarantee you'll get at least one season out of them. As a bonus, they come in some of the cutest colors you've ever seen.

It's definitely the morning for me, less people to contend with while fishing the bank.

As a dedicated bank fisherman, I know first hand how messy my fellow anglers are. I haven't fished a lake or pond where I haven't picked up someone else's trash. I have two goals when I arrive, to catch fish and to police the area for trash. Sometimes I don't catch a fish, but I always end up with a plastic bag of trash. To answer the OP's question, I never approach an offender, seems like a waste of time to me. They know the difference between right and wrong.
