Don't forget why your there in the first place, to have fun and figure out the bass bite puzzle for that day. Don't over think it, throw confidence baits and keep moving. Get a few hits slow down some, then move along some more!

Same bro ^^^

Sure, buy a 14ft John boat and slap two 9.9's on the back of that jewel!

Congrats!!

Chatterbait is a bladed jig. It's a good bait for what the original poster wanted. Throw a paddle tail trailer on it and burn it through grass an such

I leave mine on the hooks, but they see water regularly. I also store my rods and tackle inside, so climate controlled.

If you like that try flipping a chatterbait/trailer. One of my go-to's around here

Sounds like your already fishing slow, try a faster bait/retrieve. I have a river I fish a good bit and the bass don't want a slow presentation, they want to chase something. Try burning a crankbait, jerkbait through there, or burning a buzzbait. That don't work try the small slow finesse baits croakhunter suggested.

Armtx77 nailed it, I give a good spot 5-6 trys, and if its a dang good looking spot I'll pick up a different rod and try it 5-6 more times, then move along

Solid 3lbs

Whopper plopper is the biggest scam of 2018

What is larger paddle with less strokes burns less energy Alex. (Jeporady reference)

I still say kayak. 1 rod and reel, and couple packs of plastics in a yak will go further than 2 poles and lots of tackle on the bank

But with all the cover and current anything but braid will break. I guess it's a spin-off of power shotting not your Western "finesse" dropshot rig I've just been experimenting with what I figured would work for me, why is a 4/0 trokar hook so bad? I need it to be as snagless as possible. A small nose hook just ain't gonna work in the river I'm fishing.

Spro popping frog on MH 6'6 with 65lb line is my standard frog setup. Works good for me, killer in the St.Johns River, Fla

Day 2 @ Kentucky lake, Shaw Grigsby is making a show! 7.11 Big bass! Skeet Reese has rose to the top

Big bluegill make baby bluegill. Baby bluegill make hungry bass full Too many fighting for food, take out some dinks and watch your bass grow. WRB called it

Healthy fish. Nice

Next time, take a picture at least to prevent doubt, congrats on pb

I have a question, I mainly river fish in ga, so 90% of where I fish has current. I have started using DS method and having success but like anything else I want to fine tune it to produce more. I've been throwing 7' mf spinning gear, with 40lb power pro braid. Also been using 1/4oz bell sinker with 4/0 trokar. Lots of structure, roots, logjams, and bowfin so that's why I fish such "heavier" gear. So far it's proved to be very weedless and it's produced fish. I've been throwing a merthiolate trick worm, since thats a color I know will produce bass. Anybody have any tips for current fishing the DS and could I attach a swivel between my hook and line for less line wrap and maybe more action. I mostly pitch and flip, I just wanted to try this method to slow down and stay in the strike zone longer as well as use a presentation not likely used around my parts.

Idk about up North but during the spring the creeks will fill up with little black catfish, you shine a light on em and catch them by hand. We've caught em for flathead bait

I second that

O wow, you went big. Guess you guys up north don't play around!

What was you throwing?

I've never considered dropshotting for panfish/bream. Ive always just considerd drop shot a finesse bass method. Thank you for that.
