I have mostly variations of black and green. Some of the variations include: head color, strands of color mixed into the skirt or red hooks( not convinced on the red hooks) I also carry a couple of yellow bucktails. I have fished clear water and muddy water with the same jigs and caught fish, I think trial and error is a great teacher, but I do use the general guidelines when I tie on my first jig of the day. It works for me!

I grew up in Buffalo, NY. I had a Garcia ambassador (I think)I got for a gift. It sat in my garage, I called it the "Birds nest"

That would be my first choice too, but it seems like the op is not comfortable with that. I solder and heat shrink all my connections so I know it will last.

It's seems it's always the last most simple thing you check! ?

Why don't you just leave the wiring in place on the tracker and buy a new harness from the installer? Then you just have to haul the boat and fish finders to them.

Jig with Paca craw or super chunk. I do use a Rage craw or lizard sometimes depending on what I'm flipping into.

Welcome aboard!

Nice fish! I agree, looks to be an accurate weight.

Sounds like the owner should have been keeping tabs on the previous managers. The issues seem to be the product of a festering long term lack of proper management.... But that's why you're there! Seems like you got a good handle on it Koz!

I would have to say a Zoom trick worm Red with a black core rigged texas style. Honorable mention would be 1/2 oz Ratl-Trap Diamond Dust color.

Three fish before the front moved in. Biggest on a Red Eye Shad in Delta Craw.

Baby Paca craw, Zoom Chunk or Chunk Jr. For jigs. Baby brush hog also.

Or an improved clinch knot.

Very carefully! I just hold around the body on smaller fish.

Maybe it's a bad photo, but I just don't see 30" of girth on that fish. There are some fish you look at and think" I can't believe that fish only weighs 6 lbs" This fish has the opposite effect on me

My saying is... " Don't use it, if you're afraid to lose it" Chalk it up as a loss!

Nice fish!

I only own 2 bait casters and 1 spinning rod... But I do have a lot of tackle. I like it simple, even on my boat. I do like my electronics on the boat tho ? that being said, I love to watch my grandkids fish almost as much as I like to fish.

Traps and Texas rigs with a jig and jerkbait thrown in. I've been catching fish on the trap all year, even in winter.

Only fish all morning. Windy and cooler today.

Welcome, perfect site for research!

One on a 8" magnum worm rigged Texas style, one on a Rattle-trap.

My garage smells like a pizza parlor as does my truck. I never take JJ's on my boat, I use Edge Hot Sauce it's safer!

Edge Hot Sauce or JJ's. I even use the Hot Sauce on my crankbaits.

Spinnerbait... Sometimes. Jig.... always!
