How would you fish this place?
ok so its about 50 acres its 6 feet deep at most and very little cover other than the cat-tails that line the bank there is a few small areas with some gravel banks and very little timber but its just small stuff. grass has started to grow and is now touching the surface(barely). there are very little shad a good population of bluegill. water-temp now is low 80's and cant seem to find the fish at all i've caught my personal best a 10.22lb outta here and a few others breaking 5 lb's so i know they are in here.

I think its prime time!!!
OK so i live in west texas weather has been consistantly in the mid to high 90's and now this weekend its gonna drop to mid to low 80's and cloudy. so im gonna head out with hopes that the now cooler water and cloud cover will activate the bass i think topwater will be the ticket. time to pull out my dean rojas bronzeyes

A whole bunch of reel stuff.....
In my opinion you cannot beat SHIMANO'S current line up. For spinning youve got the symetre's which are awsome and run around $70 and for BC youve got both the curado E's $150 AND THE Citica E's $100. you truly cannot beat these for the quality specs and price. O ya and customer service is the best in the business!!!

Landing a fish: Fast or Slow
This really will depend on what your using for instance if your throwing crankbaits you will not want to horse them as much as you would say flipping a brush hog with a 5/0 hook.

Bass bite best in what water temp?
bass are always active just in different ways depending on the time of year. with 64 as temps they should be really active especially with the wind in affect would need to know more about your specific body of water, and what your approach was.

Shaky Head
Even in the thick stuff i still stick with the med action and instead i go in and get them out. i seem to land more rather than horsing them out and either they break off or get off. as far as colors you only need 3 black/blue saphire, white, watermelon/red flake. also they trick is good because its natural bouancy it does stay up right but not forever it takes a few for it to begin to fall and i feel thats when it looks the most natural and when i seem to get the most hits. just my .02
