I enjoy throwing crank baits when I’m on the bend but I normally always stay shallow. Any color advice for throwing 20ft and deeper? I normally throw strike king XD models.

Thanks Catt sitting here on this rig doing all my studying to make a great game plan. I’m going after some big ones this time up.

Heading to the big pond at the end of the month when I come in from work and plan on hitting the housen area really hard any tips or other areas I should pay attention to this time of the year?

Finally installed some HDS units in my nitro I bought off a buddy. Any suggestions on a good chip to get for Toledo?

If anyone has a little imput on colors I just got rid of a bunch of old crank baits and will be going splurge on all new XD crank baits. Any help on some hot colors for Toledo this time of year? I'll be headed to the lake in a few days to change it up from the marsh bash fishing.

My "That guy" is that guy for most of the town. Theres a small circle of friends who work the oilfield and spend our off time fishing religously. Once we get on the fish we share some info with each other because we arent always able to fish together with work schedules, and after 28 days in another country the fish tend to move. Well theres this one guy who sees the pictures we post of us fishing and will instantly ask not only where we caught or what we caught on, but he wants to know if it was shallow, clear, muddy, how many boats were in that spot, What presentation you used, what color underwear you ha don, and so on. We arent greedy and hoard spots from everyone, but geeze if your going to hold claim to being a good fisherman learn how to find fish on your own like we all do. If it wasnt for his daddy and friends I'm not sure he would know where to fish at all.

I am Very big on soft plastics and quite the abundance of senkos and ribbon tails. A 5" june bug senko is my go to bait. I very rarely toss that around and not at least throw on in the live well. I learned how to bass fish from my dad who also loves worms. He always threw and still does throw a 7" fire and ice worm. I have changed my techniques a little along the way and normally out fish him now when hes in back my boat. We often bicker about which method is better but both put fish in the boat. Also I started using a hook with a weighted head to help my senko get down when the fish aren't suspended. Hooks with weed guards have become my best friend for allowing me to make more cast especially in areas with a lot of laydows. Big Bite Baits makes a really affordable bait. If your like me you need a cheap bait because I go through around 2-3 packs a trip. Good luck Sincerly, The family who hates spinner baits and crank baits.

Thanks everyone! Hope to Learn those little differences that everyone uses while casting away to become a better angler before I start getting into bigger tournaments.

Hey Red, about 3 years ago friend of mind asked me to help he because he was starting a bass fishing team at our college and I was all in. Being that I worked so much I couldn't get to tournaments outside of our school club, but I help organize and set up some things. If you choose a school that dosent have a team established be discouraged you can easily start one up! First you need to find you a trusted advisor. Ours is someone my buddies mom is friends with that teaches at the school. She is so awesome and helps out in every way possible. When It comes to getting everyone registered for tournaments and prepared for leaving school early shes the best. Next your gonna need a few sponsors to help launch the club, pay for entry fees, jerseys, etc. Now find you some dedicated fisherman like yourself and you should be set. I attended Nicholls state university and in the 3 year history of the program we have had teams compete for the FLW collegiate championship as well as the BASS collegiate championship. Our team sent to the BASS championship placed 3rd (I believe) and trust me when I say driving 14 hours away from home for a fishing tournament is no easy task. With a little bit of hard work and some good buddies to help out a BASS team is easy to get going. Just remember that it is still a part of a school so you will all need to maintain your grades to fish. Good luck in college buddy those are some fun years! and if you have any questions for me just shoot me a message I'm always willing to help!

Hey everyone, My name is Brett Hebert. I come from deep down on the bayous of Louisiana where pitching, flipping, and punching rule the waters for heavy limits of bass. I stumbled upon this website while looking up reel reviews at work. Shhhhhhhhh dont tell my employer that while I am out here in the atlantic ocean on an oil field project I am making sure that my arsenal of lines and tackle are fully prepared and well stocked for my 28 days of being home. I grew up flipping small plastic worms I would find in my dads tackle box (some probably older than I am) in bayou lafourche and was instantly hooked. It helps coming up in a family that fishes as often as possible. Now I spend my free time searching for one of those Toledo Bend HAWGS that have been getting caught left and right. Hopefully when I fly back home in a few days I will be able to post a few pictures. If anyone is looking for a respectable young man who is a safety professional to take there daughter out fishing I'm your guy! Tight lines everyone!
