Hi I am new to swim baits what type of retrive do you put to them. Just reel straight back or what. and what are some good colors to use thanks

I am from the shelbyville area, and I tend to fish taylorsville and Guist creesk being that they are only 20 mins away. but I am still fairly new the the bass fishing game and have a lot to learn. it make it even harder when these two lake are fished to death.

Gas this morning in Frankfort Kentucky was 3.95 so I am like the rest of you will be fishing a lot closer to home

I have a Hummingbird 141c all that I could afford at the time it was on sale. I have the transducer pounted on my trolling motor. the trolling motor is shallow enough that I can see it if faily murky water. my problem is that most of the time when I try to read the depth in shallow water its may say that I'm in 4ft of water and I cant touch bottom with a 7' rod with my arm on the water. and it gives my a flase bottom looking reading and will not show to much of what I would think to be structure. can any one help. I have a fairly new motorguide digital seires 71 lb trolling motor
