I use 20lb PP Super Slick 8. It works great for weightless plastics.

As a perspective that amount of water being let out would fill the Empire State Building in four minutes.

I haven't caught a good fish on a nice day since about 2013. Get out there.

I was taught for to fish for salmon, steelhead, and trout. I had to teach myself how to fish for bass.

Big Bite Baits and Havoc are both extremely cost effective.

I fish it almost daily. If it's under 10' deep and the bottom isn't too weedy I prefer it over a drop shot. If it's over 10' I will drop shot or go up to a 1/2oz or more conventional C-rig. I really prefer the Trick Work to a Robo on a split shot and the opposite on a drop shot. During the pre-spawn I will use very small craw baits. Dynamite rig.

Guys I'm backing out for safety reasons. They are pulling 160k CFS right now, it's at flood stage, and a couple guys died yesterday on it. Kent I called and text you last night. I will try again today. Water is dangerous to begin with but uncontrollable water is too much.

All of the log ponds in southern Oregon. Those mills have all went under and the ponds have been dried up for years now.

We had an SP in Qatar sit on a 141 one evening and remove the clip and wire from a 94 and spun it for hours sitting there watching the fence. Luckily the Line-D guy caught the fuze was armed. The SP admitted to it and was sent home.

Well someone orders, receives, inspects, breaks down, builds, accounts for, and delivers to you. Then you just throw it on a jammer and stick in onto a launcher and leave the trailer untied. That's what you do load toad. On topic if it's a technique you have to cross their eyes with like a jig have your drag as tight as you can get and use your thumb bar and thumb to let out line. Anything else get it to where you think it should be and go three clicks tighter. It's a bass, it's not breaking anything.

If any of you guys wants to fish tomorrow evening (Thursday) with me just shoot me a text. 541-281-7852.

I got a lifetime license in Michigan for $1 being in the military. I did the math for a lifetime license here in Bama at age 33 and I think it amounted to about 14 years worth. In today's job market it's hard to say you are going to be somewhere that long continuously.

Florida, and I'm a left coast guy.

Ned rig time. You will find them in a hurry. I recommend this to everyone fishing ponds they aren't too sure of. Tie on a C-rig or just a barrel sinwel. I prefer a C-rig, might as well fish, right? Then drag the whole bottom and make notes of any bumps, humps, rocks, etc. In a mud bowl a 1 foot dip can hold a ton of fish. It will literally reload in the time you land a fish.

Yeah. I will get there around 4:30 on Thursday evening and plan to get in a night fish. Then fish all Friday and Saturday will depend on how they are biting. The weather is supposed to suck Friday, but we will make the most of it.

I really like S-Wavers, they are my #2 behind ABT's. A 200 with the sides ground down with a split ring has a huge glide path.

You're casting too hard.

They hammer a 168 in Rainbow Trout too. Great fish! Did you see it bite? If the wind is down you will see them settle under it before they commit.

Well, Mach 1 is roughly 716mph meaning Mach 2 is roughly 1,432mph. This of course can vary slightly as wind speed and atmospheric pressure brought on by current elevation shift the numbers from a vacuum at sea level. On a related fishing note 2 is always better than 1. Get a 2.

The Zoom trick worm that I believe is watermelon w/ black flake and a chartreuse tail on a split shot rig is awesome. A Bold Bluegill Robo on a drop shot works too. The Jackall Gantarel can land you some great fish too.

I fish a Senko a lot slower than most and I dead stick on the bottom for a minimum of 15 seconds before I will move it. 90% of my fish come on the dead stick. The hookup ratio on the wacky just isn't as good. If I start getting bit regularly on the drop I will switch to a wacky. Also if there is a solid couple feet of weeds on the bottom I will rig wacky on a drop shot to keep it just over them. Either way will catch fish, you just have to find the way you are confident in fishing them or the way the fish are forcing you to use them.

That's my vote too.

The 130's are just right and catch fish of all sizes. I bought two of the big ones without ever seeing one in person. My goodness are they huge. It's like pitching up my Optimax where the prop is just out of the water and throwing it in gear.

Coyote is awesome.

I haven't fished many things more productive than one of those rigged vertically on a drop shot. The Watermelon w/Red Flake was the best of the bunch. That and the Custom Leech were both very good. We didn't catch a lot of huge fish on the Crazy Flapper, but we would put 2 pounders in the boat like it was going out of style.
