Purple. Always purple!

I bet that was merely coincidence, You’ll get on them with baitcaster. I catch fish with jerkbait at what seems to be an even ratio spinning gear and casting gear. The advantage of the spinning gear is lighter diameter line , thus deeper jerkbait. The advantage of baitcaster is fishing bigger jerkbaits around shallow cover, helps to have muscle once you’re hooked up. As far as cadence, I just bounce them along fairly constant but not super hard rips. If it’s below 50 degree water I leave it alone quite a bit And you caught a monster !

Oh yeah and fish around gulls if possible

That picture sure looks fancy, is that for flats fishing??

The whole lake is good fishing, you’ll see boats trying it all. The bass gets surprisingly shallow in winter, burning 2-4 foot mud flats with rattle traps is popular this time of year. Shallow water warms faster and that’s where the shad go

That must be it!!! I could never figure out milk and bread, why not soup ?

Holy smokes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He might want his guitar pick back

Hahahaha

All the roofers I see have worn out tennis shoes. I get up on a few roofs almost everyday and I’ve considered it

I rarely find a use for sneakers anymore now that I’m an old man. Leather boots if it’s cold, flip flops if it’s not cold. Steel toes for work

They also work very well weightless with a thin hook (very slow sink with a shimmy), and on a jig head, and Carolina rig, and as a jig trailer, and wacky rig......... good worms!

Well I’m sure that would work but that won’t help the never caught one with a Texas rig problem ........... ive fished those zoom worms my whole life and never knew they floated

Try it on eBay....... then wear it!

Wear it!

I use them as jig trailer all the time

Ahhhh........ the good stuff........ that should easily check the Texas rig off your bucket list. 1/16 oz or 1/8 oz bullet sinker in any of those will work, especially slithered through veg or brush

Pinch a split shot on a hook shank

2021 starting off with a bang

Caught some perch and bluegill on lunch break, one of the perch sure looked like a rapala husky jerk . First cast was a double (perch/bluegill)

Trick worm!

We don’t have any shallow lakes, wish I could help! All I can think of is golf course ponds, the fish always use the ditches draining into the pond

It’s a 50/50 shot. It will either rain or it won’t . They just flip a coin
