Bankbeater

Nice going! Some good eating right there.

The mindless zombie apocalypse has begun.

I just use a regular t-rig set up with a 1/0 EWG hook and a 1/16 weight. I peg the weight depending on how much vegetation there is.

One more for Zoom.

Nice looking bass, Congrats!

Good going! I have not had a lot of luck with baby bass color either. I do much better with green pumpkin.

Some kind of beds.

Try talking to people and see what kind of bait they are using. When you find out, throw something different that the fish have not seen before.

Full foam, then full cork. I don't care much for the split grip.

I usually remove the rattles, and add some kind of trailer.

Taking the kids fishing is always fun.

I get out on the water when I can. I don't worry about the moon.

I'd say in the 2 to 3 pound range.

Great trip!

Nope.

After every trip I play back my voice recordings and put it down in the log.

I don't mind if people see me catching dinks. Some of the water I fish is has very heavy pressure. If I catch a bass that is pic worthy I usually look around to see if anyone is looking at me. Then I get it off the hook and back in the water quickly.

I watch whoever I see bass fishing out on the lake. They might be fishing a bait, or a rig, that I haven't thought of.

Good going!

Nice one!

Look for patches of vegetation growing in the water near the bank. Don't get right on top of it, but get close enough that you can run a bait by it while fishing parallel to the bank.

If you're catching from the bank each time you are doing something right.

In summer and winter I fish the same way. I look for a shallow flat with a steep drop off into deep water first. If that doesn't work I head for deep structure.

So sorry for your loss. Prayers sent.

It's nice having a wife that understands the need for more tackle.
