The less I have to change baits the better. I take that to mean that I've found a pattern.

3/8 Strike King bitsy flip with a craw trailer.

Take the average from the two line weights listed on the rod.

Since I got back into fishing, usually from December until mid-March. If it's warm enough I'll go after crappie or sunfish in February.

T-rigged on the bottom. I'll retrieve it with hops, or just drag it along the bottom.

I give out my cell number only to friends and family. If I have to give a phone number for something like an online purchase, I give our landline number.

Congratulations!

I pitch creature baits with 3/8 to 1/2 oz. weights depending on what I'm pitching at.

Nice looking bass!

My old fishing partner would run and gun big time. He fished crankbaits a majority of the time and would make 5 or 6 casts into a spot in the time it took me to cast out a t-rig and work it back. These days I go as fast or slow as I need to when working an area.

Looks like one of the magnum sizes.

A few years ago I was catching warmouth, but I thought they were sunfish hybrids.

I carry a 7'0" ml spinning rod with 6 lb line and a 1/16 spinnerbait tied on. Last year I tried a 6'0" ul with 4 lb line, but that was too light. I had multiple break offs in the vegetation.

So far this year I haven't gotten a jerkbait wet.

Many years ago a friend of mine lost a really nice bass. He said it was the largest he had ever seen. He was fishing from the bank and he said when he saw the bass he froze for a second. That was all it took and the bass was gone.

Welcome to the forums.

Sometimes I can in the summer if the bass is in open water. With the gear I use I can start noticing a stronger pull when the bass is around 3 pounds or so.

I like the Zoom super hog. They don't get a lot of love, but they do get the job done.

Quickest way I know to put a pattern together.

I only use them for moving baits. They are a real life saver when it's cold and my hands aren't wanting to work.

1st generation Revo-S for $50. The place I bought it at was trying to clear out their inventory so they could restock with new items.

I go when I can and hopefully the air will be a little warmer, and the wind won't be blowing too bad.

I never caught anything on a chatterbait when they first came out. Around 6 or 7 years ago I started catching with them, and have used them ever since.

Currently I'm using Shimano and Daiwa baitcasters. Pflueger spinning reels.
