Fishing Cop

it sounds like you are making progress. USE THE NUMBER!!! Text her.

I haven't been to Lake Eufaula in a while, but it is still hot here in Alabama, so prepare for that.

One thing is for sure, she already knows she is beautiful. If you tell her, she may think, "here it comes again", and think you are another creep in her life. Just start a normal conversation. She probably don't get that much.

Sometimes I do fish deeper water with a jig. It just seems heavy. Maybe it is suppose to feel that way. Still waiting to catch a fish on a jig though. I just don't have any confidence with a jig, so therefore, I don't fish it too often.

Thanks A-Jay. Most of the soft plastics that are getting tore up are coming on a T-Rig, fished close to the bank and under docks, so shallow water usually. It doesn't happen to a jig usually. I can't even get a bite on a jig. It feels so heavy. 1/2 oz with a trailer. I can fish the T Rig and catch fish when they don't rip apart a NEW plastic. But as far as the Jigs are concerned, I am just at a loss.

I guess I need to check out more durable baits.

i think it is mostly Bream or Perch. I try to ease it away but it still happens. I am still trying to learn to fish a jig. I have never caught a fish on one. Just can't get the swing of it.

I usually try it that way too, but very soon the other claw or tail is missing.

As many of you know, soft baits get expensive. I buy Rage Tails and Zoom Speed Craws and others and pay 5-7 dollars a pack at least. The problem is, I can get a bite or a nibble and when I get the bait back to the boat, the legs, tails, arms etc. are missing. Then I have to throw away the whole bait that I only made a couple cast with. Very aggravating and expensive. I stopped trying to set the hook on most of the nibbles because of this or when I do set the hook, it just rips the tails right off. The baits are expensive but seem cheaply made. Do yall have this problem?

Well, I have never caught a fish on a jig. I am still trying though. Just can't figure it out.

I prefer between daylight and noon. It is just more peaceful.

I use them year round, especially around docks and banks.

I just eat before I go. You can take some hand sanitizer or wipes with you. Do something to clean up if you have to eat on the water and don't kiss a fish.

My son caught this on the Chattahoochee in Alabama. Anyone know what it is. It had a mouth full of teeth too.

Congrats!!
