If You Could Only Have One Bait For The Rest Of Your Life???
Drop Shot. Any depth, any water temp, any water clarity.

Ned Rig Cloudy Water Farm Pond
I use jig heads with a weed guard so when it's muddy I can work cover. Works very well, just very down sized pitching

Bucktail Jigs
Lots of guys use them for pressured bass on ledges

Hookset For Tube Jigs
Half way between a shakey head hookset and a drop shot hooket. Smallies have very hard mouths and don't get hooked as easily as largemouth. Sharp hooks and execute well!

Well This Is A First
Went into my garage last night to set up my stuff for a tournament this afternoon. Found this guy hanging out on my rods. Safely captured and released him, my theory is that if I let him live he will bring me good luck haha. Since he is wrapped around multiple rods does that mean I need to junk fish?

Favorite/goto Lure When Fishing Docks
Clear water- drop shot on edges and skip a ned rig or senko underneath. Stained or muddy water I'm beating the dock to death with a jig. This is assuming we are talking about something other than winter fishing

Pitching Cat Tails? Beaver Bait Or Jig?
Put a beaver on your 3/4 oz jig and pitch that. Big ol hunk of stuff for a big girl to chomp down on. I like big jigs with a papa pit boss as a trailer

Tried The Ned Rig Twice
I didn't understand how the ned rig was anything different at first. Then I learned that the Elaz tech baits float after the salt dissolves, and also become very life like and quiver constantly (not to mention the fact that they are indestructible). Putting half of a senko will catch some fish but if you want to see the effectiveness of the bed rig you need to use the z man baits. The way the bait falls is the reason it is so deadly. This bait is far from the tried and true smoke curly tail grub on a jighead. It is definitely unique. Winkiedoodles on YouTube is my source for ned rig info

Don't Do What I Did (Arashi Squarebill)
The hooks on arashis are too stout IMO for a crankbait. One time I took the hooks off of a 5 and used them for my s waver 168 when a bass straightened the stock hooks on it and it worked surprisingly well. You probably had already bent the hook out on something or it was a "dud" from the factory

Slade's Secret Northern Virginia Pond
There is a member on another forum with a philosophy similar to "Don't share your spots, you might not be the only one who enjoys fishing them"... It's great that you are sharing for people, but if someone did that to one of my spots, I wouldn't be a happy camper.

What Is Wrong With This Bass?
The giant (3' range) sea lampreys come into this river in the spring but I thought they didn't feed on a spawning run. One of them must have gotten hungry

What Is Wrong With This Bass?
My friend caught this largemouth today in a small river. The fish appeared to be in excellent shape, very fat and healthy, except for this huge sore in its side. It was about the diameter of a quarter, and appeared to go all the way through the fish, there was a lump on the opposite side of the fish's body from the sore. It has been a really off year at this particular river and I'm wondering if a disease has something to do with it. The lump was right on the lateral line of the fish, you can see some pieces of dead skin where the lump is.
