Didn't dotty get caught a few times?

The baits from this batch are the most buoyant hinkles I've fished they'd be super slow sink probably around rof 2 or 3.

Been waiting on these baby's since april. Been a bad year for me and the hinkle baits one broke one snapped off. And one clipped the wrong end of the knot and sunk to the depths of fork. Time to be more careful

Water is cooling off bite is picking up. Found a small very clear lake that stocks trout. Oo giddy giddy. Falls right into my weapon of choice.

To get it on the bottom !

Los Angeles with NYC comming I'm a close 2nd

Weigh the big ones and measure if I'm on a slot lake (don't know why don't keep them anyhow) only to say I caught an over while I'm back at the marina.

Creme scrounger , robo worm , trick worm, honorable mention to grande bass rattle snakes

My solution Is a filet knife and peanut oil

Good Lord created night time for 2 things. Fishin wasn't one of them

Bass are picky eaters. Generally won't resort to cannibalism unless times are tough. I'll take those baby bass lures off your hands.

Is that a 50 conquest?

Yeah I'm thinking the same think. I've fished 20 cxx for the last year with no prob. On 5 and 6 ounce baits. I stepped up just for the extra insurance funny thing is that same bait 2 days later I casted it off. Wasn't committed to the cast didn't push the button down and POP. Luckily it landed in chest deep water. Tossed a marker right on it. And after 20 mins fouND it dragging the net. So respooled with the 25 cxx that I had on stand by

Brand new just opened spool of 25#cxx. Been stored in my boat for maybe 3 -4 months. In the garage (when not on the lake). Spooled up with fresh line first outing. Caught one. Missed another. Very next cast broke off when I swung on what hopefully was a rock and not a fish. But it shouldnt have broke.keep in mind im very picky about my knots. Im sure the knot was good. I have it marked. I'll be back better equipped to retrieve my bait. I've been swimming 3 times after lost swimbaits this year. The tricky part is I lost this one inside a buoyed off section at the dam. Bait is maybe 15 feet inside the cable in maybe 5 feet of water on the slope of a rock jedy.

Until I started buying my own lures. All I fished were h&h spinnerbaits. For years popa bought them a card at a time. Plastics definetly the most productive probably a brush hog or lizard. But my favorite bait to fish is definitely a big glide bait. Or a frog when that bite is on.

I've allowed 2 hats to blow off in the lake the last 2 weeks. Gone years without that happening and now twice back to back. How many hats have yall lost through the years? Im probably around 5-7 hats in the drink. With a low recovery rate.

Yes

Tx,ca,ok, bc mex

Not sure if it's an alligator gar or spotted gar etc. Some kiND of gar forsure.

Calcutta 400te hands down

Interesting assumption. At a certain price point ,your implications suggest, a fisherman becomes pretentious, or grandiose for possessing finer equipment for an activity (like in my case) that someone will love to do for the rest of his life. Maybe true for some individuals to think of themselves as better than. But certainly not everyone. Putting a lable on on people for using expensive equpiment. Is pretty judgmental in its self. I have no desire to keep up with any trends, maintain any status ,I've never even fished a tourny in my life. Not in it for that. my equipment is not an ego booster. They are simply tools to do something I am passionate about. Things" dont define a person's worth I was raised better than to belittle over worldly possesions.
