Favorite Square Bill?
The storms are good I use them I have the bluegill and rusty craw. They run a little deeper than the 1.5s and they have a wider wobbling action. I like them a lot only problem is I wish they offered some better colors that's why I love my KVD 1.5/2.5 they have a bunch of very good colors.

Quantum... Why The Hate?
There are "fanboys" out there all over that will either over hype or over hate brands. I have 3 Abu Garcia Reels (Silvermax & Revo STX baitcasts, and Orra spinning) heard a bunch of fanboys knocking Abu. I have 2 Quantum Smoke spinning reels (25 & 30) head a bunch of fanboys knocking Quantum. And I have a Pflueger Patriarch spinning reel. I ABSOLUTLY love my smoke reels hence why I have 2, got the 30 for a steal with a Abu Garcia Veritas rod (heard bad things from fanboys too about this rod lol I love it too). I plan on getting the smoke baitcast reel when I master it more... I am starting with the Silvermax to get the hang of it right now and then the STX when the frog bite turns back on! But like I said I am a huge fan of the Quantum reels especially the Smoke series.

Giving Up Your Rights To Fish.
I can understand checking your fishing equipment and even your vehicle for coolers which may contain fish. But other than that I can't see how they can search your vehicle like a police officer would.

Crankbait Recommendations
I love the KVD Squarebill Crankbaits (I mainly use the 1.5s but the 1.0, mimick smaller bait fish, and the 2.5s, mimick big baitfish, and the 1.5 is the perfect median IMO). Then run about 2-5ft but will go deeper depending on which model and rod position Id say you can get them to 8ft,. They are very good and not that expensive around $5-$6 per. You can fish them through heavy cover they are a very versitle reaction bait that covers a lot of water. As far as colors I tend to try to match the colors of baitfish that I have in that particular fishery. I just started using River 2 Sea crank baits and Storm Arashi cranks (silent ones they have rattling as well, forgot to mention the KVDs have a rattling version as well but I only have 2 out of the 17 or so KVDs that I have). So far I like the Arashi they are similar to the KVDs just have a wider wobbling action, they need to offer some more colors but that may come in time. Rapala shad raps and scatter raps are good as well. They have shallow running and deep running as well, good action and you will catch some good quality fish. Check those out I am a huge crank bait guy, second only to FROGGIN!!!

Silent Crankbaits...?
Nope the ones I have are silent I guess they are new
-
Anyone Else Struggle Here
Man I am guilty of doing this lol. I also tend to stay in the same area at spots that I usually fish often instead of covering ground. Just cuz the fish were there one day doesn't mean they will be there the next. That's why I enjoy fishing from my buddy's boat because we cover everything.

Bassmaster's Top 100 Lakes...which States Should Not Have A Lake Mentioned?
I was surprised to see Manasquan Resivour,NJ on the list I use to live by there and fish it all the time. They had a baitshop were they had a small selection of lures and they had shiners and night crawlers. They have two boat ramps and boat docks where you can rent jon boats for a half or full day. There was basically every type of cover/environment to fish out there it was awesome. I would definitely reccomend this place to anyone in NJ or the NJ area. Tons of species of fish in there largemouth, smallmouth, pickerel, pike, Muskie, hybrid stripe bass, bluegill/sunnies, catfish, and that's what I remember off the top of my head. Amazing fishery haven't been there in about 3.5years and have been in FL for little over 2. When I go back to NJ to visit I am definitely going to stop there again.
