White spinner bait double willow silver and white blades

I have used chigger craws and zoom chunks with great success

I have also caught a few cats on an inline spinner, and pretty much anything else you can catch in Kansas.

I use 12 lb fluorocarbon on a 6'6" med heavy rod and a 6.4 baitcaster.

My biggest topwater hits are from buzz baits too. The biggest splashes have come from some smallish spotted bass, they tore up my Buzzbait pretty good, but it was fun!

A friend and I were fishing at a private lake in Rice County, and we caught these..... The first one is 4lbs 12oz, next is 5lbs 13oz and mine is 7lbs 6oz......what an awesome day, we were both using white spinnerbaits, his was a Terminator, mine was Strike King....we each caught about 10, these were the best!

I thread everything on, chunks, rage craws, chigger craws, and paca craws.

I am heading out to Cedar Creek (near Ft. Scott) next weekend, anyone want to share some tips?

Mostly Strike King for me, some custom made ones from guys on this site.

I am thinking about how well this might work? Anyone tried it?

Any suggestions, I was thinking spinner bait if they are active.

I am fishing a tourney at Eureka City lake next weekend, I have never been there before, anyone want to give out some tips?

Chatterbait

I have trouble maki sure the weed guards stay in the right position while curing, any tips?

I am going to Fish Creek this summer....July 18-20 to be exact. I am looking to find some decent shore fishing opportunities, since I am too cheap to hire a charter. I would also appreciate some tips for catching those Sturgeon Bay smallies. I will return the favor if you ever make it down my way, thanks!

I love my chatterbaits......especially the ones made by bluebasser86!

What bait or tackle item did you have the greatest feeling of anticipation before you used it? Tell us about one that met your expectations and one that flopped. For me the Cavitron Buzzbait met my expectations greatly, and flukes have not.

I have seen these too. Putting an order in next week hope they are good ones!

How effective can/are chatterbaits be in cold water situations?

This is what I did today..... Top Row - Arkie Middle Row - Brush Bottom Row - Finesse

I use a sharpie to add some orange near the front hook on some cranks and top waters, and even some blue at the tails of some cranks, what do you do?

That is a tremendous amount of gear you have! I am guessing top water applications would be one of your non YZ lines

I am buying some new weatherstrip for my 83 Chevy Scottsdale. I am a novice at best when it comes to auto repair/maintenance do I need any tools or do you have any tips for the install. Here is a link to what I am installing. http://www.lmctruck.com/features/cc/ccwtp.htm Thanks for the information!

If you like to use co-polymer line, tell us why and what brand. As always, thanks for the information!
