The Lucky Craft Skeet Reese Spinnerbait in baby bluegill has become one of my favorites to throw! I did really did well with it last year. I also like the Booyah Jason Christie spinnerbaits. They’re well made and run well right out of the package.

There’s some excellent info in that video. I ran across it a couple of weeks ago.

I’m a big fan of the BPS Carbonlite 2.0 rods. You can find them on sale at the $100 mark quite often. To be honest, I like the Carbonlites better than my St. Croix Mojo Bass rods!

Things that make you go hmmmmm... ? ?

As a fan of the Vixen, I'd like to know what a good alternative to these are.

I keep a small ceramic sharpener to touch up my hooks if needed.

Typically green pumpkin, black/blue and Okeechobee craw are my go to colors. That being said, I've had good luck with red shad, tequila sunrise, black grape, and if I really want to get crazy, I'll throw a berkley power worm in electric grape.

Years ago, I use to fish a lake in East Texas where a purple 1/4oz. Beetle Spin would flat out catch them! For some reason I haven't used it much since moving back up north, except to catch bluegill up this way. For panfish 1/8oz. or smaller is what I use.

I've recently started using the NED EWG jig from Lifted Jigs. They took a little getting used to but I'm having pretty good luck with them.

That's a cool looking bait. Are you running a Skinny Dipper on that?

I fish both baits and actually find that I catch more fish with the Zoom Super Fluke.

Personally I feel the Bass Pro Carbonlite 2.0 rods are top notch for someone just "slapping a label" on them. YMMV

Whack 'em, stack 'em and grill 'em!

Looks interesting!

I use 7’ MH Lightning Rod Shock for froggin'. It’s been my frog rod for several years and has worked great. I’ve experimented with other rods but keep coming back to the Shock. It’s bullet proof and I don’t have to worry about it, as I am pretty hard on my frog rods. I have it paired with a Lews Tournament MB.

Anybody Ever Get Caught Without Their License? No!

Here in S.E. Mich, we're in the middle of one of the heaviest mayfly hatches that I’ve seen in a long time. It happens every year obviously but this year there is more than I’ve ever seen. The bass bite is almost nonexistent the past two days. Any tips on things to try to trigger a bite?

Nuisance fish? You do understand that little fish grow up to be big fish, eh?

Thanks guys! I have some Reel Butter oil and some of the Lucas Oil reel oil. Both seem to be working well.

Yes baitcaster.

Didn’t get to watch much of it today. Sounds like they’re catching them pretty well though. The highlights that I saw showed some nice sized spots!

Lightning Rod Shock!

Is it best to oil the worm gear or grease it periodically?

Im not sure why. They just out perform all of the other brands.

Zoom Lizard or Lake Fork Lures Ring Fry.
