Correct me if i am wrong. But clouds, wind, barometric pressure, weather all that only matters for shallow fish. If the fish are still deep staging, waiting to move shallow for spawn there deep enough that none of this matters

Been fishing for LMB my whole life in east Texas. Now i am in north Idaho reservoir. First there is no hi definition lake maps for this lake. At least not on navionics or lakemaster. New lake and no map so i am really handicapped . Lake is about 40 feet low and water is 51 deg. So i figure we are looking for pre spawn fish and start running the lake to the north end. I went up about 2/3 north of the lake. In hind site i guess i should have gone as far north as i could. Blue bird sky , no wind. Started out on main lake rocky points looking for flats in 10 to 35 feet of water. Nothing. Then went the back of a couple coves. 5 feet out to 25 feet. Nothing. Again flats next to rocky drop offs. Deep water thru swim jigs and swim baits. Shallow thru texas riged worms and senkos. What say ye. Hiw would you have done different

Any use a 1/2 oz or 3/4 oz soft swimbait as there go to rig? 30 to 40 feet or however deep you fish for summer lakes

i hope i made a good decision. My current home lake toledo bend was a good one too. Excited about the move

Here in east texas dragging a carolina rig with 1/2 oz or 3/4 oz weight is by far my number one go getter for LMB in summer patterns. Moving to idaho in 2 months to a rocky reservoir and looking for a way to drag the heavy weight in rocks. Have a hard time beleiving changing the shape of the weight is going to make a major difference in hang ups

I cant stand spinning reels, rods. Here in Texas on the gulf coast its all about ML baitcasters. There are lots of rod builders specializing in them for 6-12 pound test 1/8 oz lures. laguna rods, and Waterloo are two of them. Love them for river smallies

How did you find out about big bear all the way from North Carolina

Is this a hummingbird or lowrance class

What’s your favorite summer deep water structure for numbers? Don’t mention brush piles for sake of discussion. How deep do you fish it for numbers ?

Summer deep water creek channels . Is this your typical big producer or not?

Are all public Ramps and camping still open? Particularly sandy creek?

Where can I get a new aldebaran for $275

Any suggestions for 8 pound test mono. Shimano has one 4.9 oz. aber something? But it’s $420 i like Shimano products but if it doesn’t work out take what I can

Whats the fastest way to delete all spot lock way points on a helix

Only a couple trailers in the parking lot all weekend at six mile and sandy creek. Do most stop fishing cause it’s tougher, too hot, or I am in the wrong area

I bought the strike king from academy. Hung up everywhere. Is locally for you academy or something else for eye max

Do you buy that eye max online or locally

What’s the secret to keep a 3/4 oz football jig with a trailer from catching on everything while dragging like a Carolina rig in 20 to 25 feet of water

Don’t be towing at 80 mph. High speed means higher tire temps for blow outs. I wouldn’t tow past 65

Everything I have read us bass cat built for speed and rough water

I don’t want speed, rough wat r handling. I want a big platform and storage. Who else fits the bill

Rangers have 2 different lines. About $15,000 difference for the same boat size and motor. Is it mere bells and whistles or the boat itself

What structure is your most productive for off shore summer.

I was at 6 mile yesterday concentrating on outside creek bend in 18 to 20 foot. Not a thing. Are you seeing most fish on brush piles only?
