Hi,
I live in Mandeville Louisiana and it is approaching winter and now is the time to reflect. I am writing this post to help me use the right lures with the correct equipment that i have. I am writing this on the fact of when i go fishing even in spring during spawn i don't seem to catch many fish say *** from the bank. I am hoping you guys can make some suggestions on what i'm doing incorrectly. I have only been fishing for about 1 1/2 years. I have really only caught fish using the Texas rig using a creature bait and they were all under 2 pounds. I mostly pond fish around town even though we have a lake 4 miles from my house but its brackish water. Thanks hope this is in the right forum.
1. Setup 1 is a abu garcia black max3 on cabela's pro guide heavy med with 15lbs flouro. (This was my first bait caster and i love it)

3. Setup 3 is a Spinning reel on a Berkeley med light lightning rod with 12lbs mono.
Currently i use them in this configuration for lures:
setup 1 anything bottom jigs texas rig Carolina rig or spinner baits.
setup 2 i use for top water such as a whopper plopper, spook or buzzbaits.
setup 3 i use.... not sure yet i had it and put it into the jeep to use for something once i figure that part out.
The question is what is each setups best use such as what lure to cast on each or if i should move some things around? (Really any advise would be great)
