Texas Flood

Yes but that’s because we knew there was a big drop off. If it was an area we didn’t know well, I probably would’ve given up on that spot well before. I completely understand if people feel like it cheapen the spots. For me though, I just wanna have fun catching fish and will use electronics that helps me do that. People might not agree with that, but fishing means something different to everyone.

I can confirm as well as others on here that it is not hogwash. There has been plenty of times I have thrown everything but the kitchen sink and the bass will chase the bait and then swim away.

I had a caiman growing up. When she got over 3 feet long, we gave her to my high school science class(they used to have a gator when my mom was in HS). My parents had all types of animals when I was a kid. It was pretty cool.

That’s what I love about ffs. I use to suck at using a jerkbait but after seeing in real time what retrieves work, my confidence is now sky high when I fish from the back of the boat. Catching fish like that is so much fun. I don’t know if I’d ever think to throw a jerk before we got ffs, but now it’s my go to when fishing offshore.

I couldn’t agree with you more. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve come up to a spot that is holding a good amount of bass just to not get a single bite cast after cast. Location is key but timing is everything

I can’t help but think @Zcoker had something to do with this.

It's still hard for me to see how non FFS gear is at a decline. The majority people who fish probably dont have a boat and those with one, also probably dont have FFS. Now if more people get a boat or kayak with FFS and only fish that style, then I can see that. Not saying I disagree with @AlabamaSpothunter and @gimruis whatsoever, its just hard to grasp that happening already.

Where did you find the info on this? Id be interested in reading about it.

Stocked up on a bunch of OutKast jigs. TW gets me every time they’re on sale.

Well that’s a bummer.

I could go for another 40% off St Croix rods from ALF again.

I just want them to make a 110 +1 in secret grape.

25% off all Outkast tackle on TW

You've seen them sold for 3.5 million dollars?

I got one earlier this year and love it! I mainly use it for jigs and magdrafts.

I went pond fishing after work for about an hourish and I was soaked in sweat. Yeah, Im ready for fall.

I have no problem fishing in the summer as long as there is a breeze. Hot day and zero wind is a no for me dawg.

Im ready for fall the moment spring is over.

It's pretty crazy how many people I know/fish with that dont know the difference. My FIL drives me up a wall because he thinks everything is structure.

#1 Brock Purdy fan right here!

I will forever blame the Ravens and Joe Flacco for these ridiculous QB contracts.

Its a big building with fish, but thats not important right now.

I don't think I have a confidence lure but more a confidence in my gear. I throw baitcasters 99% of the time and feel like anything I tie on will work. Where my confidence starts to diminish is when I have to use spinning gear. I'm not a fan of it and I usually give up quickly if I don't get bites right away.
