Midwest Illinois fisherman here interested in buying a Megabass Magdraft. I have a lot of confidence in buying, trying and fishing new baits but always struggle with being indecisive about what color to buy. I mostly kayak fish lakes with lots of vegetation, rocky bottoms and plenty of shiners, minnows, crappie, sunfish and bluegill as forage for largemouth bass. Considering buying both 6 and 8” options I would appreciate some suggestions for choosing color.
So I’m in the Midwest and I’m looking for a decent jig rod for about $100. I want it to be a medium heavy and I’ve been looking at the St. Croix Bass X but the 7’2” comes in a moderate action. Not sure if that will be good enough for jigs or if there are other options I should explore.
So... I'm from the Southeast US, Alabama, Georgia, etc. and I've fished my share of bass, bluegill, etc. Recently, I moved to Minnesota. They say fishing up here is a lot different. I'm not that experienced with fishing out here. So, I was wondering is fishing that different from region to region? Have I just walked into a sensitive subject that I should just start running from? Nonetheless, I like the fishing opportunities up here. Everyone of my neighbors has a boat it seems.
This is a forum on bass behavoir right now: are they bedded or cruisin the shallows, are they agressive or suspended on ledges, etc...
I'm in illinois and i've had a little luck on ledes and points due to the fluctuating weather we've been having, but, given that said weather is stabilizing, my luck is going to schtako. So, tell us where you are, whats lures have been workin, the bass' behavoir, and where the hell you've been findin 'em!!!
