I use mine for topwater when the weather warms up. Pop R's and Sammies.

Siebert Outdoors Sniper Jig. My go to finesse jig.

I've used a Yum Pumpkin Head for bigger worms. To get a 4/0 or 5/0 hook you have to go to 1/4 oz.

It's well deserved. Mike is first class and so are his products. They work great for me,

I have many different brand rods but my favorite is an old G Loomis GLX. Also my most expensive rod. Bought it used a long time ago and never regretted it. It's the one rod that is always on my boat. 7' MHF so its an all around work horse.

Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make it.

Yep, It's my go to finesse jig. I use 5/16 and ask Mike to use 36 strand count. Use your favorite color but I have most of my success with Bama Craw and use a tiny paca craw for a trailer.

I'm thinking I'll be there.

Thanks for having me as a guest on your boat. Had a great time fishing with you. Hopefully will get to do it again next year.

I'll be getting there Wednesday evening (not sure if I'll make it for dinner) and leaving Saturday morning. Looking forward to some good times and good fishing!!

I'm in on the KY Lake trip. Will arrive Wednesday but have to leave Saturday evening. Non Boater so I hope someone will put up with me. Look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones!!

True this, I've tried different stuff and quite frankly I'm not sure I'm a good enough fisherman to really tell the difference except maybe for sink rate. I'll keep trying different stuff, I went from P line CX to Red Label Flouro on most set ups. I think I'm catching a few more fish with the flouro but I attribute that to my skills improving more than the line change. I think when you are used to something and it is working for you it's a big confidence builder. Some folks swear confidence is one of the most important factors in successful fishing.

Has anybody used Gander Mountain's house brand fluorocarbon line? Looking for impressions and opinions. It's pretty reasonably priced.

Take care of yourself Mike, hope to see you on the water somewhere next year!!

Wish I could have but will plan on next year whether official or not!! Been to several and always had a great time. I hope y'all have another big time and land some BIG'UNS!!
