They were barfing up tiny shad on the deck today so we downsized .

My strike king red eye shads and 3xds swelled up and exploded in a tackle box

Be careful a long season just gives the bass time to get smarter. From what i read on here the bass bite better up north....... Then again i couldn't handle the long harsh winters

Im not worried about fish seeing them, its just one more thing i dont want to buy. Im good at tying knots and biting through line

Paper or plastic??

Ive got the logs part figured out, i catch them around timber all the time. I still need work on the WP part, one bite in about 6 months so far

Im going to give them heck all weekend and maybe this evening too

Ok ive been chucking the 130

First skunk of the year???? No sympathy from me as I’ve had 3 this week alone. Sounds like a year to remember!!

Nice fish! Which size WP?

@keagbassr, always keep an empty Taco Bell cup in the boat! I haven’t sank yet.......

Snowing sideways is what i wait for every year

I forgot to add: dont believe the forecast

Magellan makes good stuff but the weather is not very foul here. I would invest the most in an outer shell that wont leak

@Jigfishn10, a swivel on a worm??

Deep winter smallmouth is probably my favorite thing ever. I use basically two setups : 1) spinning rod with 6 lb mono. Lures are all on a 1/8 oz ball head jig. Bitsy tube, 2.5 inch gulp minnow, 2.5 inch paddle tail shad grub, or zoom finesse worm. 2) baitcaster with 10-12 lb mono. Lures are spoon, blade bait, rattle trap, or suspending jerkbait

Ive got nothing. Still a couple months left though

Im starting to think its just not the best lure for where i live. The river near my house is all logs

Ive tried them everywhere i can think, its useless near weeds thats for certain
