Man that is awesome, great rewards for heading out in 100 degree heat.

Nice, that looks like a lot fun.

My girlfriend bought me a worm binder for Christmas and I like it, before a trip I load it with everything I might need. I rarely fish a whole day anyway and I like to keep it simple so it I can fit everything I need (worms, ez swimmers, stick worms, craws and creatures, etc.

Ez swimmer, t rig worm, jig/ slither rig.

4" stick worm, weightless and tejas rigged, if that won't work, then it's time to find some shade and catch up on some sleep.

Nope, but bluebasser86 makes a good point, cheers and good luck to those who can afford it.

Yozuri hybrid #8 and sunline supernatural also in #8

Nice work!

4" stick worms skipped into shade or pitched into the eddies behind rocks and boulders or anyplace where current pushes into a combination of wood, rocks and shade. If you find these things in a bend in the river, even better. A rebel crawdad in the 2 3/4" size is one of the best river cranks out there. Those two baits are my go to baits for the rivers around here. Also there is great article on here about river fishing, search "River Rats" in the advanced search engine and it should take you right there. Good luck!

For me it's been 10" or 7" gambler curly tail worm or a bream colored slither type rig with a zoom z craw as a trailer.

Nice! What a good looking fish!

The Booyah baby boo jig, sieberts jigs are great also but it's so painful to lose one, they are like little works of art, I just stick with the baby boo for now.

Yes for the mojo, no for the split shot.

They make a good stuff, I've had several pairs of sunglasses and goggles and liked them all. The glass lenses they make are expensive but worth it if you can afford them. Never had any Costa's or fishing specific glasses to compare them with, but all the Smith's I've owned were great.

Tackle Warehouse has some Lews spinning reels on sale, I have a couple lower end models and am happy with them.

The Zoom Ol monster and gambler 13" ribbontail. I try to use the lightest weight that I can usually no heavier than 1/4 and either hop it or drag it along the bottom. Caught my first big worm fish of the season on Monday so I guess summer is officially here!

Look at the belly on that thing, congrats on a new PB!

Sounds like a productive day on the water, way to get after 'em!

10-14 pounds in my favourite pond with a 4-5 pounder being caught every now and again. In the the river though it's closer to 4 or 5 pounds total, redeyes are so small it's easier just to go by inches.

It's been hit or miss for me, okay for leader material, not so good as a mainline, at least on spinning gear. Getting it at the clearance aisle adds a little redemption though. I've learned with FC just to pay a little extra.

EZ swimmers and a watermelon zoom ol monster.

Haha way to overcome,looks like it was a good trip!

I fish the micro size on #8 yo zuri hybrid, I'm also fishing it in pretty open water targeting grass that's 8-10 feet underwater.

Yup for whatever reasons I haven't broken out a spinner bait yet this year, and hardly at all the past few summer's. Maybe it's cause I've learned a little bit about jig fishing, and I usually only fish 2 or 3 techniques at a time. I'll probably bring it back one of these days.

That looks like a good one, that jig is neat looking also. Jig fishing is fun!
