Balshy Fishing

I'm looking to get some new jigs, new spinnerbaits and lipless cranks. I know to get my jigs from Seibert Outdoors but I'm going to *** for my spinners and cranks; I need suggestions on colors and brand. I fish mainly in rivers when fall comes which range from 17 feet deep to 8 feet deep and as shallow as like 4. All rods are medium fast with 10lb mono. LET THE SUGGESTIONS BEGIN

Now that fall is approaching, what lures are great transition ones to throw? Will senko's produce until winter? I'm trying to stock up on lures as the water slowly gets colder over the next few months. Also, I love night fishing in fall because I don't have to worry about spiders and other things that I can't handle when it's 101 on a July night

Any other help fellas?

Smalies on the river!

Here in Central PA it has been in the mid 70's lately and at night, the temperatures have been about 58 degrees at night. Any suggestions on what to throw during these situations at night?

Are you sure they're heavy? I'm using a regular spook and it feels perfect and I can walk it perfectly on a MF

No no no, the replacement trebles.

Do you guys order these or just go to BPS/Gander?

yeah, I see everybody taking about swapping out the trebles. if I were to do that, what does everyone suggest? I want to upgrade to the best and produces

So you're recommending to just, reel -- tighten it and let the fish run with it?

So I had a bite tonight at the river and it took it for a ride but long story short -- I had a missile coming back at me. What kinda' hookset should I use? I went up and reeled and he took me for a little then spit it out. I was so depressed lol

What size do ya'll recommend with 10lb line on a MF spinning rod? I'm trying to get into spooks and I am getting the bone/white ones today but I need to have an idea on size.

I appreciate that more than anything man!

I brought out a few plastics and was wondering ways to maximize efficiency when fishing them. Top: Watermelon Gold Glitter Trick Worm -- SuperSaltPlus Watermelon/Red Finesse Worm -- Junebug Z-Man Saw Tail Floating Worms Middle: SiebertOutdoors Jig w/ Rage Tail Rage Craw -- Bitsy Bug Black & Blue Skirt with Junebug Fat Albert Grub -- Microchatterbait by Z-Man/Chartreuse & White with XCite Bait Watermelon Craw Bottom: Junebug Fat Albert -- Black & Chartreuse Worm -- Lizard ----------------------------- What would be best to use with these jigs? I found them in my dads tacklebox and he never uses them anymore, they look like they could be pretty killer. ------------------------------ I got these in an MTB/LTB once and I haven't used them yet. Where and what's the best way to fish these? ------------------------------ I found this attached to a lure at the river once. I haven't used swivels before....is this worth using and what type of baits are good to use with? ------------------------------- I found this as well, what kinda' hook should I use on this--where should I use it and should I just crawl it along the bottom? ANY HELP WOULD BE AMAZING, I'M LITERALLY BEGGING FOR HELP WITH EVERYTHING. Plus side is, I won't be asking anymore help questions after these because I'm just trying to get better.

Perfect, I use 10lb strenn mono too. That's good to hear!

Appreciate the feedback everybody.

So how do you retrieve? Is it a quicker retrieve? Popping the whole way back one after another or is it more of a...pop pop pop rest. then start up again?

I picked up a Rapala Skitter-Pop yesterday at GanderMountain in the lime frog color. What's the best way to work this? Will it walk the dog like other poppers? I've read that it is different than other poppers. Information would be great!

So last night, I went fishing at a creek near me and got beyond frustrated. First, I was using a yellow/black jitterbug worked across the top across the current. I had two blowups--however, I couldn't hook either of them. The Arborgast lure is, probably, 20 years old? My dad used to use it so I'm wondering if old hooks might be the reason? If I were to swap out hooks, what would you guys recommend? Next, lately -- I have been getting SLAMMED on my senko's but I cannot--for the life of me land them anymore. I have been using the Gammy SkipGap hooks and then my old EWG hooks that i had by them and I can't get anything landed. Also, when working a fluke in current filled with rocks--what's the best way? The hooks I have are too "thick" and I'd have to break the sound barrier to set[ha]. Any suggestions on hooks for these as well? Suggestions?

Went to Pinchot about a month ago, caught a nice size largemouth over by the dam. Aside from that, nothing there. Went to Kaercher Creek a month ago too and caught about 10, they were biting hard that day. Hot, sunny, you know. I've just been fishing the Susquehanna between South Gate & Bainbridge and certain parts of the Swatty -- it's been weak lately.

I'm going to start using these b/c i see a lot of people talking about them. I'm gonna' go pick 'em up at BPS today but as far as size and color, what should I be looking for? I'm trying to get a pack for stained and clear water. Any help would be great!

Also, not to jack the thread -- what color and size roboworm is good?

So Stik-o's are as good as Senko's now? haha

I fish the susquehanna often from Southgate up to Bainbridge

I fish in the Swatara Creek on occasion in Pennsylvania. The current moves at a moderate pace and the bottom makeup is all rock. I am wondering what will excel in this? I throw senko's often and i'll get bites but I'm trying to figure out what else I can work across the current and try and cause strikes. I have plenty of plastics; I feel like those are the best? Jig's get hung up for me often but I also don't know what GOOD jigs to purchase. i have one of the small KVD Jigs and a pack of the cheap 1/8 BPS jigs that can bend out to avoid getting snagged. Any help would be awesome
