Sign post? Ya mean breaks/breaklines? Recent radio telemetry study done on Toledo Bend by Texas Parks & Wildlife Head Biologist Todd Driscoll. One of the bass tracked is an 8#+ that is located on a single stump on a huge nondescript flat that has no breaks/breaklines "sign post" or deepwater within 100 yards. John Hope spent 22 years tracking bass with radio telemetry. “If there was an average a fish travels in a given day, week or month it would be 250-350 yards for most fish,” John said. He went on to explain, “If you put a cow in a pasture in east Texas it will probably wander in a 50 yard circle in any given day and eat all the grass it wants. Take that same cow and drop it in west Texas (more cactus and rocks than grass) and it may have to travel a mile to get the same amount of grass. The same could be said for a fish that lives in a hydrilla bed on Toledo Bend, vs one that roams the rock ledges of a lake in Missouri.” John’s point was that range depends to a large degree on environment, or more specifically the availability of food.

I'm in this to catch em, on what doesn't matter! Once I've figured out what they want, I'll feed it to em till they're puking it up. Problem is about the time I think I got em figured out they prove to me I don't!

I'll use a leader when fishing saltwater & it's usually made of some type of metal.

It's a step in the right direction

Lew's Speed Spool LFS Best $100 bucks you will ever spend.

When bass start moving up shallow during early pre-spawn they are looking to eat. We have a buzzbait bite that starts as early as mid February with water temperatures still in the low fifties. The only time I've seen bass bend the shaft of a buzzbait it this time of year. If your lake is offcolored & you can't see beds throw a frog. The bass may not eat it but they will reveal themselves.

Only picture I got ?

Just because someone ain't a "Pro" angler doesn't mean they don't "know" how to catch bass or they couldn't compete at that level.

Anybody can stack rocks!

At my age I look forward to getting up in the morning!

Kinda made my point huh?

Strike King's Swinging Swim Jig & Ragetail's Lobster I work it more on the bottom than up in the water column.

If not I get a refund?
