I will be at Lake Gaston next week, not staying on main lake. We will be back in one of the cuts, Great Creek. Anyone know what water clarity is or what bait colors work good there? Thanks,

I have a few spots i target, parallel to shore, the lake i have been fishing lately has some good points i have been targeting

So when you are cranking down on the rat? You get it swimming sub surface at a pretty good speed ? I have tried a few retrieves with the rat, have not let it sit. The shell cracker i have tried everything with no luck. the Gantarel i do mix up the speed and add a few pops and pauses. i have only tied off to the nose, does it work better at the other tie down? Dont get me wrong, I do love the Hudds, just looking to trying newbaits. The Hudd is probably why I feel like im lost. I had so much success with that right after i started using it, im expecting the same from these other baits.

I have fallen into the trap of big swimbaits. I have had alot of luck with the Huddlestons. Although I like to fish fast, i tend to get bored creeping a Hudd. Recently I have bought the Gantaral Jr, Black Dog shell cracker, Spro BBZ rat. I have had ZERO luck. I dont know if im fishing them wrong, wrong placement or what. What kind of advice do you all have for retrieve methods and placement. Im using an Dobyns Fury with an Shimano Cardiff. Thanks

Well I have received the Natives and the Oakley Prizms. I was definitely impressed with the Natives. For the price they are hard to beat. I really like that they come with an additional pair of lenses. The Oakley Prizms, not impressed at all. I shouldnt have to squint when in direct sunlight when wearing glasses. As bad as i thought Costas were they are far superior. I might go get some Smith and Maui Jims to try those.

Well I ordered Natives and the Oakleys. I have to admit the Natives arent bad. They are obviously not top brand quality, but the lenses are great, and the glasses came with additional lenses that were a purplish pink color and they are amazing early in the morning. Oakleys should be here today

Do you have the polarized Prizm glasses ? How are they on freshwater ?

I have looked at Maui Jim, I had always sorda written them off. I always thought they were more of gimmicky brand. Had someone suggest them and they look good and functional.

What is everyone using for Polarized glasses. Seems there has been alot of growth in the angler sunglasses market here over the last few months. I have been using Costas. Have two pairs with green lens and the other with smoke lens. Seems like the Costas quality has dropped off since they blew up as a business. Ive been suggested the oakley prizm and the Smith chromopop. Does anyone have any suggestions, dislikes for freshwater water fishing? THanks

The weather for tomorrow is looking good, anyone that has a kayak headed out to fish?

Anyone have any advice with this? Last Friday, weather had been good for a week plus, i saw the bass running the banks, blowing up on you water, overall highly active. Then midday Saturday a front moved through and the temp dropped, since then its like the fish have disappeared. I don't see them running the banks, or blowing up on top water since? The bite has slowed down tremendously, someone give me suggestions, I'm lost. Ive been trying to fish the break lines deeper but no luck!

Your right, the costa fogging is major pain the ass for me. Ive tried several different models and seems to always be an issue. I use to be a huge oakley person, then to me they got way off base with trying design crazy glasses, but the Prizms, seemed like a good option.

My Costa's are the 580G, I have the blue and gray lens. I bought a pair of cheap Calcuttas with a blue lens and felt like I could see alot more in the water, but the glasses were horribly uncomfortable. I have been curious of the Oakley Prizm or the Smith Optics Chromapop.

I need some suggestions on what you all prefer for glasses. I do all of my fishing from the bank or kayak, and I am in somewhat clear water to murky water. Currently I have 2 pair of Costa's one pair with the blue lens and one pair with the gray lens. They're good but I feel there is something better. I would love to hear some ideas of what you all use, like and do not like. Thanks

Need some advice, swivel snaps, are they good for crank baits or swim baits? Also, I have an Abu Garcia Revo Winch and Revo Rocket, which would you use each reel for ?
