Got the news a few days ago that I'm moving back to Indiana, around Indianapolis (looking at Noblesville). I never got into fishing til after I moved from Indiana, so I was wondering where some good places are and what normally works around there? Thanks in advance

BB1 Pro 5.1 with any Dobyns rod

I think you are mixing up the BB1 with the BB1 Pro. The BB1 pro comes with two holes pre drilled into the spool to thread the braid into so it does not slip. Personally I would never put braid straight onto the spool, but the holes help make spooling much easier with all types of line.

Unfortunately, I've had fishing on the the backburner since moving to belgium. (Not) Fishing here sucks. Although, fishing in europe in general can be very good, so I'm looking for areas to go since nothing in europe is too far away. Now I spend 6 days a week in the gym. When I come back to MN for a 3 week visit I'll be fishing every hour that I'm not in the gym lol.

Alright so I'll admit, I don't do much jig fishing except for a football jig here and there. But I've heard nothing but good things about it and want to try it this summer in MN. My thought for a setup was a 7'1" Medium Heavy with a Lew's BB1HZ and some sort of sunline (favorite braid). I'm planning on ordering some jigs from Siebert outdoors soon, and I was wondering which ones yall would recommend. And any tips on how to fish them, where, when, etc would be much appreciated. And my apologies if this has been asked before, I couldn't find much on it other than how great jigs are and what colors people preferred. Thanks

x2 on this. Would love to have some perch soft plastics for mn.

Went to Playa Del Carmen and went deep sea "fishing". I would have called it something else considering we had 6ft swells and the only person on the boat not getting sick was the captain. Oh and it was a 4 hour trip, no turning back, and we caught no fish by the end of it. The highlight was pulling into the marina after the 4 hours. I wouldn't hesitate to go back on a calm day, but in Playa Del Carmen there are rarely calm days on the water. Nothing against the charter though.

If you can find some shallow flats, a suspending jerkbait should produce well. As for the rocky part, you can't go wrong fishing tubes.

Thank you for your service and may God bless you.

I thread a toothpick through the bait about 1/4 inch down from the top (then cut the ends of the toothpick not in the bait). Then I put the hook right under it so that the whole bait gets the action not only the legs. The toothpick helps this action, and keeps from tearing the bait also.

How do you like the Cashion rods? I was thinking about getting one to try because I would much rather buy nice rods that are built in the U.S. than China (or even Japan)

I finally decided on a set up to throw texas rigged soft plastics, Diawa Tatula 7'2" Medium Heavy with a Lew's Tournament Pro. I was thinking I should put 40lb braid and a 10lb fluorocarbon leader. What do you guys think? Thanks

I was thinking about getting that one to pair up with a tournament pro for the same purpose (texas rigs), how does the taper do with hook setting?

That's one sweet looking combo. Is that the 7'2" Heavy tatula?
