Bankbeater

I have the same issue at a lake near me. You might catch one an hour or so until about 11:00 AM, then after that they wake up. I use to think it was water temps, but this happens year round.

Not yet, but I am working on it.

Fishing a jig or tube around deep wood.

I thought this was going to be about casting into trees. My Dad use to call that squirrel fishing.

I would put most of it away for a rainy day. I would buy a boat and something to haul it with.

I use either Big Game or YoZuri.

For years I have fished weightless with a m/f 6'-6" rod. This year I am changing over to a 6'-6" or a 7'-0" mh/f rod. I fish from the bank a lot and that m rod just didn't have the backbone when the bass went into the weeds.

I like using a weightless stik-o, or a weightless fluke around certain cover. Around really thick stuff I like to use a weightless 6" worm.

Some dogs have more common sense than some people.

Nice bass! Good going!

I have always used the 2500 size. That seems to fit all of my needs.

I've never seen that before. That is wild.

We've been lucky so far this winter. I think we have only had about 3" of snow, and that was spread out over a couple of months.

My kids have everything but flu shots. Over the years I have seen the vaccinations make people sicker than catching the actual flu bug.

Nothing yet I am still making a shopping list.

Chatterbait and spinnerbait on the same rig. 6'-6" MH/F, 6.3 to 1 Abu 5600 C4. Spooled with 15# Big Game. Swim Jig is on a 6'-6" MH/F, 7 to 1 Curado 200 E7. Spooled with 15# Big Game.

You got out easy.

Probably some kind of lipless bait. This time of year the bass really tear them up around here.

I use mostly Gammy and Owner hooks.

I will throw a spinnerbait in the spring, summer, and fall. In winter I use mostly plastics, and lipless crankbaits.

That place looks great, and I bet it looks better in the summer.

That stinks, hope she gets well fast.
