I don’t typically use o-rings. They’re an inconvenience. I’m okay with using up baits.

I'd get the bigger boat, irrespective of weight. I prefer a 12-14' boat for fishing. Everything smaller doesn't have the room I need and feels cramped.

It could be both the weed line and a drop off. Do you recall how relatively deep it is toward the center? Like, how many seconds it takes for the bait to hit the bottom? At any rate, it doesn't appear to be a huge pond, and you should be able to find the fish in no time.

I don't know why this would matter either. On a weightless, weedless rigged bait, the hook is parallel to the bait, and hook up is no issue. I do like the hook perpendicular, as @ResoKP shows because I find it to be a little more weedless in light weed cover. The worm actually works to push weeds out of the way.

It doesn't matter. You can't control what direction it will end up once cast into the water.

Shhhhhhhhhhh!

On Conesus, hit the docks if it's sunny. Look for docks over or near deep water. If that's not working, the outside weed edge, 12-16 FOW, with jigs usually works. Place is a big bass factory.

For $124 more, you can get a Hobie Compass.

Split shot rigs were called "fishing on the bottom." A drop shot rig was called "fishing off the bottom." A "Carolina rig" was just a catfish rig with a brass weight and a bead. Call me cynical, but we didn't need the Japanese to invent rigs, though they are far better at coming up with clever names and marketing them.

What’s up with all the non working prototypes? I mean the excuses coming out these guys’ mouths is astounding. Just saw another video pimping “when it’s in production it’ll work right” feature.

They didn't bring a finished model? I'd like to see the pedal drive, and just what is this "jet" drive?

I see why you'd prefer to fish at night, after things have cooled down.

Looks like Luther has a new camera pole coming out.

Glenn just put a video out that addresses budget baits:

I like this video a lot. It's pretty cool that you back it up with catches.

I made it through the 90s without any tattoos. Still don't have any.

No clue, but I do know that Raymarine and Lowrance have a similar feature.

Right now, pros are qualifying for the summer Olympics. Nyjah Huston.

Who are these people with TLAs for names?

Sunday, between 11:30 and 3:30, I caught 17 LMB all on 1/2 oz. Rage Craw in Bama Craw. Last night just four, same bait. And ladies and gents, I broke one off at the knot. Lest you think we mods are perfect. I can't remember the last time that's happened, and I had just retied. Who knows? Anyway, with all the flooding, fishing has been good, especially for that body of water (Irondequoit Bay). None of the fish I caught were huge, but none under 3 lbs.

Those big boy boats. I'd prefer the option of a 360 drive on my Compass.

I doubt he was using a spinning rod with 12# fluoro. Edit, dang it, beat me!

Three rivers is a pretty cool place to fish. I used to fish team open tournaments there with my buddy.

Not even close. Rochester, NY.

Just saw that, it looks pretty awesome.
