5 Dollar Fishing Game

I agree snook. The apps and such can help some, bit the fish aren't locked into those factors. Bottom line is true, just fish. :-)

He's sporting that PFD baby!!!

Ok cool. So do you leave the reel engaged or locked? On rivermonsters he leaves it free. But then again he is getting humongous fish. :-)

I've tried keeping a finger on the line when the lure is on or near the bottom too. What should I be looking for with that?

Anybody hear any updates? I checked on BASS but still the same original story.

I saw on a BASS video where you can use a spinnerbait as a jig style for suspended bass. Nice one!

Jerk baits are good like you said. I had good luck with the chrome top and orange bottom on the sunny days. I can cover plenty of water with a slower retrieve.

If you do a slow or a fast retrieve they always seem to start popping out of the water when they get near the boat! I am using a fluro line 12 pounds. It seems Rapala had a good idea but maybe too much action. What help do you all have? I caught my biggest on one but the bass I think thought it was a top water lol

Minnow. Natural shad.

The only thing I found that impacts the fishing would be the muddy waters after the rain. A super clear pond near us turned about red brown after a 24 hour rain spell.

My favorite spinnerbait time is windy weather. Seems that white is the go to color for the cloudy days.

His bigger was 14.6. He has a you tube video on that too.

Blindfolding + men in the woods. NOT

Semi slack is the slackest I'll go. I can't do full slack. Even on drop shots and top water. Just feel better knowing I have some control. I watch the fish take the line only for a second or two then set the hook.

Tomorrow night at 9pm starts Monster Week on Aninal Planet. Looks pretty good for the week.

LOL! Inner tube. Not tube lures. I thought the same. That's a good laugh right there. In any event, yeah, wind is a pain in my kayak too. :-)

Dead sticking and walking the entire perimeter. The best thing sometimes is to get full coverage of the area. I have some big ponds here in NC that if I don't take the kayak, I make certain to walk the whole body of water as well. ;-)

I really need to start using Senkos. :-)

IMO I can't see how the batteries by themselves could've caused it. Not saying impossible, but not likely to me. Those batteries should have been QC'd a bunch beforehand in production.

When I first started fishing a few years ago. I took the wife and daughter on my canoe to "show off" my newfound skills. So I tied on a $10 buzz bait and threw it (in the beginning of January in NC). I didn't know squat about know tying so I did a double overhand knot. Casted out and "ping", lure flew off and sink to the bottom. :-(

Let's make it simple. Just start a conversation with yourself and sometimes answer back. :-)

My friend says I'm "famous" for catching fish on swim baits in all conditions. Do I count????? ;-)

Blow ups are the bomb!!!!! Literally lol ! I cast and once the lure hits the top water, my heart rate goes up as I twitch and pause, twitch and pause the lure. Waiting for the badda booom!!

Today was even better than before the cool night! It was twice the top water action. :-)

Done that a time or to. As soon as I cut the line, the lure falls to the floor of the boat lol.
