Got out today from 7:30-1.Caught 7 on a spinnerbait,nothing special, but it was some late season punching with a double wide beaver that made the day. It only produced 2 bites but they weighed 3-3 and 6-13.

Got out today 8-1. Not my best day, whiffed on a couple ,dropped a couple and had a couple whiff on my baits but managed to boat 5, 1 on a buzzbait, 3 on a Spinnerbait, and 1 on a frog that weighed 4-10.

Got out 8-1 boated 6 bass, 1 on a popper, 1 on a Spinnerbait, 2 on a punch rig and 2 on a buzzbait with 1 of those the best of the day at 3-12.

?ive got a few different colors. this one was whitish with a greenish back i think. I should note that i tie a hair tail (synthetic deer hair)for it as well.

3-5 Maine smallie on a bps bargin bin popper.

Couple of fish from a recent trip. 4-13 on a bps bargin bin popper and 3-12 on a jig.

Soft plastic buzztoad.

Punch it til its gone.

Mosty match-ish. More or less.

Sunny with clear water, white /double nickle willow.sunny stained going with gold willow chart./white skirt cloudy i go to my copper colorados.

I bought one when they first came out. dont remember catching anything on it or what happened to it.probably lost to a tree or pickeral.

Driving home from maine a few weeks ago my now cracked windshield became the bug when a walmart 18 wheeler blew a tire 4 car lengths ahead of me and sprayed debris across 95 south. ?

Got out today 8-3. Long slow day. banged my head against the wall with a punch rig most of the day with only 4 bass to show. kinda paid off in the end as the last of the four weighed 5-2.

Punch rig , spinnerbait and buzzbait for the most part.

If the weather lines up with what i want to do where i want to do it. Then i hit the water with a good feeling. Although it doesnt always work out the way i want.

I'd say im both. I usually take 8-10 rods out with me most of which have 'designated purpose', however i have 1 that is my 'do-all' rig which might have a second spinnerbait or buzzbait on if I'm trying to figure out which one might produce that day. I also have a rod thats my 'heavy+1' rod that i carry if i want a 2nd frog or punch setup. Today i was al in on punching so i also had my frog rod set up as a 3rd punch rig.

Had a 3 week stretch back in late May where i couldnt get out in the boat. Although i i got some bank fishing in i was still quite cranky counting the days.

@TnRiver46 is 100% correct. Its all timing and technique. In the old days we learned that a buzzbait should ' hit the water running'. Lifting the rod tip and reeling just before it lands should be one motion. Throw one enough [particularly after dark] and you should be able to do it with your eyes closed just by the sound of your spool slowing down.

Appreciate the kind words @LrgmouthShad but im really just a puddle jumpin' shallow water chunk and grind hack who happens to hit one on the head every now and then. Theres many more talented and accomplished fishermen on this site than me.

Got out today about 1-5. High fast water and wind gusts to 20+ made for a tough day but managed to put 6 in the boat; 2 on a Spinnerbait and 4 on a tx.Rig yum wooly bug with 1 of those the best of the day at 3-11.

Got out today for a few hours. Boated 6 bass, 2 dinks on a Spinnerbait and 4 on a punch rig double wide beaver with 2 of those decent that weighed 4-12 and 3-6.

Uni knot.

I like a 6x speed reel for all purpose I have a rod that is my"do all" set up and it has a 6 and ive done about everything with it without issue; spinner and buzbaits, squarebils ,tx.rigs ,jig, toads topwaters, even jerkbaits.

I would definitely try a trailer hook. I get this alot with buzzbaits in the spring where they swat at it with their mouths closed and i end up with them hooked under the jaw on the trailer hook.

Double wide beaver. Its the lifeblood of my punch setup.
