  1. Overcast WITH wind... alittle chop and ripple in the water. Targeting visible brush or logs with a squarebill and spinnerbait are some of my favorite ways to fish. A little breeze or wind is key for those lures. But with no wind maybe a football jig or carolina rig. Overcast days are good days for moving lures at a good pace. Especially with warmer water. Trying topwater in the morning or evening. A frog around weeds or brush, buzzbait.or stickbait should be succesful. Personally not really a fan of buzzbaits...haha
  2. Try a carolina rig then with a lizard or big tail worm. Like a magnum worm or a ribbon tail.I have succes with carolina rig on deeper lakes
  3. 6lb line and shakey head. Since you said it drops quick maybe a drop shot. Sunny days clear water = finesse techniques. Light 1/4oz footballhead and singletail grubs. Hope this helps a lil
  4. zoom- brush hogs, chunks, super chunk jr, Z nail(they apparently don't make anymore. so disappointed), magnum, and really liking their z hogz
  5. Try powerpro superslick in 30 or 40#... its a smoother braid so it possibly fly a little farther
  6. Now Dont make fun... but I use rustoleum crystal clear coat enamel spray cans. Very very easy to use no maintenance just spray whole lure and let it hang and dry. I use 4 coats. Pretty cheap also. Like 3 bucks a can. Fishing all day with my lures on rocks the lure looks alittle nicked up but not too bad. I m gonna try epoxy down the road.
  7. boaters sometimes...a lot of the time annoy me to. they fish where ever they want to even if your obviously fishing the area. trolling down the bank. hey if you see someone fishing an area first, lift your line out of the water and skip the 30 yards they are fishing then continue! how hard is that...its actually easier.
  8. never had any luck with trailers
  9. Yea ya gotta tell SOMBODY about your day... even when its your girlfriend that doesnt really care haha. Most of the time I talk to my dad about a good day when I see him. Or send him pictures over the phone.
  10. Wazzup wif olldem fanzy loors ya got der!!! haha. I notice I get stares when I go to one of the lakes that are mainly trout fished and I go fishin for bass. I fish somtimes for trout too as well as catfish, but they see my spinnerbaits or jigs and I get looked at like "they aren't gonna catch any trout." Some people...

    Hey welcome
  12. Ebay for the most part. But dakotalakestackle.com has good quality too.
  13. Average size fish in PA is around 2-4lb so light to medium action gear you can use with confidence. Smaller lures and plastics are easier to cast. Lighter line allows for that. With clear waters in the north, Finesse presentations are a staple in bass fishing. Smaller baits, lighter line. 6lb line with a good drag system is plenty good to use as long as your not fishing around wood or weeds.
  14. Thanks guys
  15. Try learning finesse tubes, dropshot and shakey heads. Double willow spinnerbaits work good. Squarebills
  16. I can tell you that lures are not for everybody. My dad seriously only uses one bait right now and its a zoom z nail. Haha. And he catches fish successfully with that one bait. He texas rigs it, carolina rigs it, and weightless wacky style. You use what you have confidence in. Me I only use plastics, jigs, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits. Maybe a frog. Alot more than my dad, but he outfishes me when finesse is the key. But reaction strikes are my deal. But to learn whatlure to use when... I would read the articles on this site alot of info. Or maybe youtube KVD or aaron martens to learn. I know I didnt answer all of your questions but I still hoped I helped a little.
  17. he loosens the drag on spinning reels alot of times almost all the way... then tightens when setting the hook.
  18. Edited baitclicker?? I use a bait clicker system when I catch catfish... they are pretty convenient.
  19. Watching it now. Pretty interesting. I love this show
  20. The winter was long and cold and is finally over. Been fishing for a couple weeks now with no luck. Went out today with the weather being cold and windy the water was really stained. it was kinda miserable... until I caught my first bass of the season. Whoohoo! I caught a 16-18" largie on a white and chartreuse spinnerbait. It wss a good feelin.
  21. Is maybe ur paint too thin or not thin enough?? The air pressure seems fine. Also try cleaning the airbrush.
  22. Dont know if you bought one yet but have you looked at the bps stalker bag?? The red backpack. Just got it a couple months ago. Used to use a shoulder strap bag. So its taking time to get use to the backback idea. Has alot of storage for me. I like it. Have to get better organizing skills. Haha
  23. A 3/8 oz arkie jig with a zoom chunk trailer. Most likly green pumpkin skirt. A double willow leaf spinnerbait too!
  24. Seriously omg. World record! thats awsome!
  25. Thanks guys
