Pond fishing for crappies
1/16 ounce rooster tails, and 2" swim baits are what I usually use.

Ned Rig: Alternatives to the TRD
I like the BPS Stik-o in the 3" size. I t-rig it with a 1/0 EWG hook. When I get out on the lake I look for a weeds with a deep hole in the middle, drop the bait in, and let it sink.

Best day of fishing?
My best day of fishing was about 4 years ago. I took my daughter out bluegill fishing on a local subdivision lake. She had my old kiddie pole and I had my ultralight rig. My bait never got wet. Between taking pictures, helping to bait hooks, and taking bluegill off of the hook the time flew by. She caught around 50 in 2-1/2 hours.

Best And Worst (Hardest) State To Fish?
Favorite place to fish is down in the Missouri Ozarks. You have multiple lakes down there that are only a couple of hours away from each other. Eastern Missouri, especially around St. Louis is very tough. These lakes and ponds have very heavy fishing pressure.

Music in the boat?
I don't have anything playing while fishing. I like to hear when the fish jump.

What lure caught you the most fish in 2015?
I had to double check this one. It was a tie between a Rebel Pop-R, and a 1/8 ounce jig and craw.

74 Year old Jitterbug
That's cool, I don't see many people using Jitterbugs anymore. I guess that's why I have luck with them.

Good Luck on the new job!

Fluke Question ?
I never use a weight with a fluke either. What I have started doing is inserting the EWG hook through the nose, but then I bring the point out on an angle so the fluke kind of lays on its side. It gives the bait a little more action.

Who would you fish with for a day?
Going to go old school here and say Virgil Ward. When I was young, I use to watch him on TV after we got home from church.

Being Versatile from the bank
I carry three rods, and a small hard tackle box. Walking through woods, and climbing over fallen trees I don't have to worry about the box getting smashed or banged around.

Local Pay Lake Ridiculousness
What did the owner do with the cover? Did he pile it off to the side on the shore, or move it out farther into the lake?
