Yes, make multiple casts from multiple directories. Isolated cover can be a patch of pencil rods in a field of dollar lilies. A hardwood stump in a field of softwood stumps.

More than one way to "work" a lure, who would thunk!

Isolated cover can be amongst other cover...different!

See below Prime: of the best possible quality Structure: contour (shape) of the bottom of a body of water. Cover: something the bass can hid in, under, or around.

Larger bass are usually located on prime structure & in prime cover They setup on structure & in cover that allows them to see all directions at once. Maybe not 360 but it'll be as close as they feel comfortable. They like to see without being seen

Pretty much what @Mike L said, except I fish the 6" Ultravibe Speed Worm more than the Magnum. Watermelon Neon with the tail dipped in Spike-It Dip-N-Glo Chartreuse Garlic.

Disagree 😉 The side of the boat from the gunnel down to the bottom is not in the water. The more "bottom" you put on the surface of the water the more stable, less tipsy. Now this is talking about stability at rest, two people can move about without rocking the boat. Flat bottom, roughest ride Mod-V, so what smoother Deep V, smoothest Wider beam will give you a dryer ride.

I'm hearing talk of close to 5,000 entries!

55 yrs wondering around Toledo Bend staring at some kind of screen I know a spot. There's a boat house in 6-Mile Creek that's two story, it's more of a party house. It's sitting off by itself, from the bank out 30 yds it's 6-8', flat kinda sandy bottom, no wood or brush, vegation is shoreline dollar lilies, some kind of grass on the bottom that's a foot or two tall. Pasted that boat house dozens of times never once thinking of stopping. One mid August night, no moon, clear skies, light southerly wind, I decided stoo. Dropped trolling motor, picked up my worm rod, made a cast, bent over to turn the depth finder on & I felt that tap-tap...stuck a 2# bass. During the next hour & a half I boat 18 up to 4#. Before I left I idled the entire area & saw nuthin. That was 30 yrs ago & I still sneak up there & boat a few.

Falcon LowRiders are outstanding rods & will fit your needs I threw Allstar for years along with CastAway, both are highly overlooked.

My Father's Day present, my Birthday present, & my Christmas present is all the kids/families home safe & I cook for em. I'm the cheif cook & bottle washer around here! I find YouTube to be helpful but like everything on the world wide web ya gotta sort through some.

Somebody needs to tell KVD, maybe he would have reached his full potential. 🤣 Seriously y'all need to watch some of the Pros, many switch hands & all their reels have the handle on the right side. They can use either hand

Don't know what rods y'all are buying but I have 2 Diawa Tatulas & Powell Inferno. As far as I can tell neither has much filler. Everything else is Lew's with Winn Grips, nuthin with EVA.

Don't know where y'all are getting your information but what I posted is from Maxima's website. I hope they would know

Definitely post spawn 😉

Despite the water level Rayburn is kicking out Hawgs@ 10+#

Tells you how long I've been fishing the Big Pond!

Maxima has way more memory & a lot less abrasion resistance than Big Game. Diameter is the same as Big Game Big Game Maxima 10# = .012 10# = .012 12# = .014 12# = .013 15# = .015. 15# = .015

You're correct 😉 Take a knife & gently scrape it, if it's tungsten nothing will happen.

@thediscochef I have a love/hate relationship with Toledo Bend! I love how each area fishes different. When it's on, Toledo Bend can be the #1 lake in America but it ain't on it'll leave you scratching your head!
