Thanks i got on a few today twitching a weightless Keitech along the edge of some mid depth brush, you’re definitely right about the moving bite still being better than the bottom bite.

It is the river system inside the fort worth nature center

Ever since late November the fishing has completely gone dry for me, way worse than years past, bites are few and far between. I live in texas any advice is helpful

Its 90 degrees by 7AM and pushing the 100s here in texas ?

Hello hello, just wondering if anybody has any good lakes to kayak at that you are willing to share, im particularly interested in small “farm” type lakes. Thanks -ryan

Found a crusty whopper plopper on the bank and am working on cleaning it up, it is a 90 so what size hooks would i need to buy for it? -Ryan

If anyone has experience with this please let me know how they do it. I dont want to order a rod and have it arrive broken because of bad packaging. -ryan

They are going into spawning mode, and they are only gonna eat what is a threat to their eggs, if you can figure out the center of the area the bass is roaming around then you can drag a bait through his bed and eventually it might be eat it.

I just q tip it every time i put line on In dummy terms where exactly should i clean, those words arent in my vocabulary ?

I dont think it is an issue with bearings, as i clean my reel every month. Its more like the gears are still partially engaged when i make a cast.

My abu garcia revo sx has been making a really loud grinding gear noise when i cast, it hasnt been on every cast but maybe 1 out of 10 times it will do it. It happens infrequently enough that i really have no idea what triggers it and I actually came home early from fishing this morning because it was getting so bad. I just need to know what is wrong and what i can do about it if anything. -ryan

When males are guarding eggs, they arent looking to feed. When they pick up the end of your bait and just move it off the bed you can try dipping the head of the bait in jj’s magic or some other kind of garlic dye. Ive found that will increase my hook up ratios alot.

Lipless cranks always come after jerkbaits IMO.

Ol soilent green haha Whats a bubba shot??? Sounds interesting ?

I fish a pond that has about a 4 foot layer of slime on the bottom and i have found that a light texas rig with the sinker pegged on a bobber stop wont pick it up. If you are having trouble with your lure burying into it like i do sometimes, you should try to rig your soft plastics on a belly weighted EWG hook because that presentation will sit flat on The top of the slime instead of diving in head first.

I dont think it would matter too much, but if you just wanna mask any possible odors get some JJ’s magic clear cause that stuff is strong!

I know right ?

Thanks for the info! I use alot of texas rigged worms and craws as well as swimjigs and buzzbaits.

There is one made by 6th sense called the splashback, it walks the dog like a spook.

I belive all the lakes in texas are man made

If you feel a “thump” or a pull, or if your line starts moving. But if you are throwing a moving bait its a lot easier to tell. As far as color goes, keep it simple: green pumpkin or watermelon for clear water and black and blue for stained or muddy water. Good luck!

Hello, this is my first post on the forums. I need some advice on how i should go about fishing a lake. I have been a pond guy my whole life but recently my dad got me a 17’ canoe. It has no electronics (ie depth finder, humingbird) and no motor. So i am a bit daunted by fishing a big lake. Spots to target? Thoughts? -Ryan
