Carolina rig?
I feel the same way .Having to tie three knots is a pita. I use a 3/4 to 1 ounce weight and rubber stops have not held the weight in place .

Bull Shoals
I dont do a lot of jerkbait and tube fishing here so it was a fun changeup . Jerkbaiting wore me out , the tube fishing 20 foot deep was fun . When in Rome do as the Spartans do .

This jerkbait has no markings . There is a copper cylinder inside and a weight transfer system . Anyone recognize it ?

Bull Shoals
Just got back . Did so-so . Caught all three species of bass using suspending jerkbaits around shoreline cover. Caught smallmouths 10 to 20 foot down on bluff outcroppings with tubes and a 1/8th ounce head .

Types of Aquatic Vegetation
Cant see it very well . Resembles chara . Chara is a complicated form of algae that grows in water with a high lime content . It has a skunky odor and no root system . If you cast into it and keep bringing a lot back , even with a Texas rig , it might be chara . Google it . Its difficult to fish . I use spinnerbaits in pockets , edges and areas where it doesnt reach the surface . If its matted up , then I use toads and frogs . The Stanley Ribbet is my favorite .

When I was a kid (late '60s to' 70s) I always had Daredevles in my tackle box.
I have never caught a fish on that type of spoon . I had a school of bass located on a point a few years back . I was catching a few with a worm and decided to give a Krocodile spoon a go at it , figuring it would flutter like a dying shad that they were keying on . Nothing , zilch . I just havent been able to get them to work . I have caught loys of bass on jigging spoons though .

Yes, another Scale Q

What lure would you use??
I.5 foot visibility is good, sometimes I fish in 1.5 inches of visibility . If I was fishing that pond , that has heavy pressure , I'd take a spinning rod some grubs and jigheads .

Spinnerbaits
These are a lot prettier than mine . I dont even paint the heads . I will add nail polish eyes at time , if I feel like it .

Baits that are hot and cold for you?
The waters I fish change all the time and so do the productive baits . One year jigging spoons got hot . I used them all summer and fall that year , then havent caught bass on them since .

What discontinued baits do you refuse to put away...
I have a bag of those . Never used them .

Crank bait, jerk bait help
Berkely Dredgers dive to advertised depth with 12 lb Big Game . I have all sizes and have caught bass as deep as 22 to 24 foot with 25.5 Dredger . Norman Deep little N's are a good bet when fishing around 10 foot .

As the season progresses, do you get ridiculous tan lines?
I wear sun block on arms legs and face . I'll remove my shirt for only about an hour at a time . I cant apply sunblock to my back . I try to keep an even tan but end up with a mild farmers tan .
