Hi from the Sunshine State of Fl….Love bass fishing too.

I use a leatherman skeletool for my E.D.C. ( every day carry)

People don’t want to take responsibility for their actions….example he said you had the car towed, couldn’t even own up to making the call. Give warning to your customers.

Nice boat Did that before too, at the boat ramp once and an emergency #2 break….. came out the bushes, boat out in middle of cove. Ahhhhh! fun times.

7 1/2 curly tail…. I like BPS, Culprit and Berkeley. I use as little of weight as can get away with..

I’ve drove by it a couple of times but never went in, I’m always wanted too. Will next time. Thanks for the bit of trivia.

Texas rigged ribbon tail worm, June bug or watermelon pearl from BPS in garlic scent.

I’ve got the auto 33, type II for under $100 from BPS. It is comfortable and has served me well. I want a Mustang,but they are pricey over $200.00

I use my live well, I don’t use live bait or keep any fish. I clean it out later. But the trash will get bagged and thrown on deck when I catch the record breaking Bass, LOL.

Pictures please

Ribbon tail are kinda my “go to” worm. I’ve used them on all kinds of rigs. I even save the old ones and use them as trailers.

It would help too if your new to that lake or river and wanted to plan your route.

Certain times of the year, gathers can get a little weird, in the spring give them plenty of room. Your pics show thick grass around the edge, I’d worry more about a cotton mouth than the gators, they can be nasty. A lot smaller and hardier to see. Territorial, and have an attitude most of the time. I’ve had them come off the shore and out to the boat and strike the sides.

I’ve only bought a few “new” reels, most of my stuff is used, yard sales, EBay, or stuff like that. They are mid-range ones or higher then, I re-build them. It’s become another passion for me, fishing first of course. I’ve found most reels are made with very poor quality and unrated bearings. Replacing them with abec 5 or higher has turned a wore out reel in to a quality fishing rig. Don’t just change the spool bearings, dig a little deeper and do them all. I was very impressed the first time I did it. I believe most reels are designed right on paper… you know the blue prints make out for a decent reel. It’s assembly and poor quality parts and materials that make them cheap.

Best : plastic worms, walking the dog or popper type top water and creature baits, fishing the pads. worst: whooper plopper, deep cranks, and flukes, I still fish them. I just can’t catch anything on them.
