This will be my 11th season in a kayak, but I don't do the tournament thing. Tried tournament fishing out of bass boat and it seem to much like work. I wouldn't limit yourself to 5 baits, the bite changes from day to day and you should be prepared to cover the entire water column. Have fun and be safe.

The Sun rose at 7:44 this morning at about 117 degrees E/SE. When it rises at 99 degrees E (March 1st) I'm going fishing, because I believe in science.

55 days until March and I'm feeling frosty.

You did good! I built mine last year and with the case being the exception, used the same parts.

I drove Fords up until three years ago. My 2015 Chevy has a layer of ice and snow on her this morning and she still looks good. I won't be going back to Ford.

Welcome, always nice to see another kayak angler.

How many days until spring? My blade is looking a little dry.

Dredge jigs @Siebert Outdoors.

Guess I got to get out more, looks like TW has had them for a couple years.

A rattle ball in place of blades?

Should you find any #6 please let me know. (Gold Hammered)

Welcome! There's thousands of years of knowledge here, but I've only gotten through about a hundred or so. BR, best collection of knowledge on the planet.

If I flex really hard, you can see my abs!

How long has the chatterbait been out? I know it has to have been 20 years since I first tied one on. I was home in Illinois visiting my brother and we were on Jacksonville Lake. I remember my brother handing me one and told me to give it a try. At first glance I thought it was the stupidest thing, too use to my spinnerbaits I guess. When I watched that first LM come up from behind and inhale that bait, I was definitely sold. The chatterbait has landed me many nice bass since, @txchaser. Thanks @Bluebasser86 for turning me on to those Living Image skirts, I'll be customizing a few of those chatterbaits in a couple of weeks.

Flat bills are in.

Good sign. (Photo-Fish Sting)

I think someone on BR turned me on to these 2-3 months ago. I have them in every box now.

Hank Parker and Jimmy Houston. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9cjTpD4NIE I've always enjoyed watching Hank make those blades dance.
