1/2 oz. black jig with rattles, a 8" Zoom big dead ringer In black or red/shad, a black spinnerbait with Colorado blades, and on occasion a black with red flake sweet beaver.

I prefer the solitude and peacefulness of fishing which Is why I never play music, keep the phone on vibrate, and during the warmer months I go only at night when the pleasure boaters, jet ski's, and the party folks are at a minimum.

I throw a shakeyhead(3/16 0z.) in many of the same places I throw a TX rig and most always with a baitcaster. The reasoning behind this Is I feel like the sound might be different than a bullet weight as It's hitting whatever I'm throwing to. It might be nonsense but I have a lot of confidence fishing either.

The dumbest of the dumb? You decide. I usually get all my gear together the night before and put in the truck without fail, but this one evening a buddy called and asked If I could fish an earlybird tournament with him the next morning as his regular partner was sick. I of course agreed. I decided since I was fishing the next morning/day I was going to mow my grass and do all the chores I usually would have done the next day. I completed all tasks and went in to clean-up and prepare my gear for the next morning. I got everything ready but was dog-tired from the chores and decided I would load up in the AM and went off to bed. Of course I woke up a little late and as I was rushing around I decided to take the car Instead of the truck as the air in the car was much better than the truck. I got everything out of the house, put the rods in the car and started thinking about where to buy a biscuit for me and my buddy and off I went. I bought a couple 4 biscuits, some drinks, and a snack at the country store on the way and was off to my buddies house. All total It's a 15 minute trip to his house and as I parked to move my gear I was loaded for bear to fish! I got out and walked behind the car to unload boatside saw a jacket and my worm bags laying on the trunk;YUP, I loaded everything In the car but my jacket and tackle. I lost my big tackle bag with all my jigs, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and terminal tackle. I loaded up what I had and told him I was going to run home and pick-up more baits and I would meet him at the ramp. I backtracked but never saw the bag, got home and got what I could and headed to the ramp. We got launched and had the livewell check and at the last minute I decided to move a few Items for comforts sake and as I stood up and bent over my brand new Maui Jim sunglasses fell off my hat(no lanyard) and Into the drink. My frame of mind on the water was garbage and that translated Into a sub-par fishing day. I got home and by memory totaled up what I lost that day the figure was right at $360.00. I was sick about for a while but as time went on I made a promise that from that day forward I would take my time, load up the night before, and ALWAYS double check. LOL

Another vote for Frogg Toggs. I have had a set going on 5 years now and they have always kept me dry.
