Final day to make picks for anyone who has been procrastinating.

Hasn't had a top 20 in all that time either

Methiolate.

I'd have to agree. He hasn't had a top 20 finish since last May at Lay Lake.

Rosters lock on Wednesday. Get 'em in.

The Derby Boys series they're doing on social media has been hilarious to follow.

Hey guys, 8 days to make picks and do research.

Printed information is a dead platform. Like it or not, its a fact.

Was going to comment the same. This is my best guess. They're flinging small baits under docks and into cover.

Those hidden weight design heads are my favorite.

I know you're in a kayak and space is limited, but this is a good situation where casting back with a follow up bait like a Senko or a Tube is usually pretty successful.

Friendly thread bump. 21 days til Champlain.

You didn't hook the fish because the fish never had the bait.

I have caught numerous perch and crappie on a Chatterbait with a 4" swimbait trailer. I don't know how they even get it swallowed to get hooked but they can do it.

I generally keep my colors simple. Green pumpkin is green pumpkin. Black blue fleck is black blue fleck. But there are a few unique one's out there that I enjoy. Keitech - Bluegill color is so good for literally any moving bait presentation (swim jig, chatterbait, swimbait, etc) Missile - Superbug is the most perfect colormashup ever. Green pumpkin and black/blue fleck all in one bait. Rage Tail - Bama Bug is a mix up of green pumpkin and junebug (purple w/ green fleck)

"When the kayak guy tells you measuring by length is the superior tournament format"

When you don't have a tackle box, so you just tie all your terminal tackle on at once.

I came across this gem on a Facebook group. What would you call this rig? The longer you look, the better this photo gets.

What a finish. Taku with the clutch 5+ pounder late in the day to take the win. Our top 3 currently is: BassNJake LMoore Frenchy1757 We have 37 days before the boys come north and fish New York. Get ready to see some brown fish at the scales.

Weights are so stacked this event. The difference between 36th and 74th is 1lb 11oz.

Are you using a different line? Perhaps one with more stretch? Perhaps your drag isn't locked down?

Smith Lake kicks off Thursday. Make those last minute picks.

5 days to get picks in for Smith Lake. Start doing your research.

Well I tanked that one 😂 Onto the next one. Smith Lake is next. You have til next Wednesday to get your picks in (6-26).

In my area, any store that has popped up over my lifetime that is a dedicated tackle/bait shop has never survived. Every shop that has stuck around and done well has another business that is part of the bait shop (gas station, gun shop, oil and furnace sales, etc).
