  1. Hey guys! I'm moving back up to Ohio soon and wanted to know what all kind of tackle y'all have had success on in terms of pike and musky. I've got bass fishing covered in most areas, but wanna get into larger game. I wanna know rod set up reccomendations and line and lures you've had success on. Thanks, Templeton
  2. His face says it all guys. I appreciate all the comments and tips. I built him a tackle box with pliers, bobbers, hooks and weights. Gave him some senkos worm hooks. Little guy loved it. He is actually really good at casting. My brother is gonna take him up for me while I'm in Alabama until I can move back up north. I'm gonna wait till he's a little older to teach him about soft plastics so I don't burn him out on fishing.
  3. Hey guys, I had recently bought my nephew a tackle box for his birthday and need help to fill it. He's 7 years old and tomorrow I'm taking him fishing for the first time. I'm gonna show him the basics, catch a couple of bluegill with a worm and bobber. I know the boy will love it cause he's always amazed by my fish in my pictures I have caught lol. I'm just wondering what lures you would recommend for a kid his age. Any input would help, he's fishing mostly small lakes and ponds. I bought a few senkos and octopus hooks for him to use, along with a couple of bombers and rooster tails. Thanks, Templeton

  5. Hello everyone, I'm looking for a rod and reel combo that will help me feel the slightest bite from a bass on any soft plastic rig. My price range is 50-150 dollars. Any suggestion?
  6. Never been much of a soft plastic man, but you give me a KVD 1.5 crankbait in sexy shad, and I'll give you variable results.
  7. Molly. As in the fish species, Black Molly.
  8. What the bites feel like? What rod/reel type? Line Hook sizing for the different size baits Different presentation. Dead sticking, fast retrieve, rod tip raising vs slow hard jerks What lures excel in the rivers, creeks Number one thing to put in that book is to always have confidence that you are gonna catch a fish.
  9. I've found that Z-Man Finesse Wormz are deadly on a shaky head. They float and hold up a great while. Rig em on the jig head, and shake your rod tip enough to make the bait go wild while keeping bottom contact. Slowly drag it as well on the bottom and when you a branch or submerged log, shake it against it or stand it on top of the timber and shake it some more.
  10. To see if something is my favorite bait is to determine on how much work I must put into technique, making crankbaits my favorite lure.
  11. What about in terms of color?
  12. I recently went to Walmart and seen several Rapala xrap Slashbaits on the shelves and picked up a size 6 in olive green color. Was wondering when is it good to have bigger jerkbaits or smaller ones? Would you throw the size 6 on a baitcast outfit or a spinning? I've searched online and this site several days now, and couldn't find my answer, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Templeton
  13. What kind of rod and reel combo would some of y'all recommend? Do fast action tips really help in detecting bites?
  14. I bought this at a pawnshop for 34 cents. It looked cool, so I thought why not?
  15. Red eye shad in sexy shad or sexy chartreuse shad.
  16. So to all of y'all that lost so much weight, how did you do it? What kind of food did you eat? How many calories did you plan to burn a day or how long did you stay at the gym? Did you weight train, or strictly cardio?
  17. Whatcha think of my restoration project? Had a helpful hand from my Dad as well.
  18. Rebel Pop-R in Foxy shad color
  19. I'm Templeton from talladega county. Home lake is Lake Howard and Lake Virginia.
  20. Top water lures are at their peak during the morning as the sun is rising or just rose, or as the sun starts to set and several hours after dark, but I have found that they can get bit all day long.
  21. It doesn't have to be necessarily for this time of year.
  22. Cranking around the trees might work, but by the time I start to crank the bait, the current pushes the lure downstream.
  23. Its very rocky inside the pool on the right side with a decent population of various sunfish, on the left side, it has a sunken tree followed with sand.
  24. The current is so strong when I threw cranks in there before, it pushes it to the post and it gets snagged. And by wall you mean rockwall right?
