Actually I ain't been fishing in a little over a month. Partially due to heat but mostly cause something ain't feeling right. Last Wednesday I simply bent over to feed Mawmaw's dog & felt something tear in my lower back. Still ain't standing up to straight. The sprit is willing but the flesh is weak!

Two things I do differently (y'all knew that was coming). When the majority of anglers think early morning or evening bite, they're thinking shallow topwater bite. I'm offshore in 15-25' of water where there is the same early/late bite but the overall average is bigger. Second during winter most anglers head for the shoreline that is exposed to sun light the longest. I've caught some hawgs in the coldest water around & in the shade.

Until last year I didn't even know how to take a selfie.

From April to October I only fish at night. I generally start my night around 6:30-7:00 pm & end around 7:00-7:30 am. Why? To catch the morning/evening bite! Which is better is subject to weather & water conditions. Right now our temperatures are in the triple digits with little to no wind. Every evening we experience a thunder storm that drops the temperature into the mid-70s where it stays all night. There appears to be an uptick in activity on the surface.

Toledo Bend has Hydrilla, Coontail, & Milfoil. We fish em all the same.

Old baitcasters! He talking bout us @WRB?

More than once! Boat & tow vehicle, mine & others.

Soap definitely works. I like beef liver, lay it out in the sun, the "skin" gets tuff & fish can't take it off.

Don't snell nuthin

I'm a straight shank round bend guy!

My brother's son-in-law owned a company that built a battle ground in the woods. He rented/sold guns with all the accessories. I played for 4-5 yrs then got into air soft.

@haggard Any type of heavy electrical wiring like battery cables. i also carry these & a 2# spool of .025 stainless steel safety wire.

Find me a rod Send me the money

Bakers Dozen 😉

My favorites are underwater points, the ones that do not connect to the shoreline with deepwater near by.

@RenzokukenFisher In Google type in points bassresource.com or any subject you will get better results than searches here.

Texas Parks and Wildlife best in the nation.

Nah! At 73 I ain't in no hurry for time to pass.

Minimum 3 😉 Topwater, mid-depth, bottom contact. What's on each one is subject to change depending on body of water.

I would go with KVD
