  1. Headed to the Mississippi next weekend so I had to take advantage of the tw sale. Punching weights and skirts Trick worms Shaky heads Drop shot baits Chatterbaits Tubes
  2. Went today and didn't catch a thing. Wacky senko on drop shot Nose hooked senko on drop shot Nose hooked trick worm on drop shot Powerbait minnow on drop shot Owner minnow in drop shot Natural colored deep cranks Couple rattle traps Texas rigged rage craw Texas rigged senko Texas rigged pit chunk Various jigs and trailers Spinnerbaits Paddle tail swim bait Couple short strikes but no hook ups Maybe today was an off day, but I'm getting pretty close to giving up on it. Had to buy an out of state fishing license so I can't give up easy haha.
  3. My first was a shimano zeles that came in a combo with a matching rod. It was very easy to use and hasn't any problems. I now have 4 lews reels and they are also user friendly.
  4. Yea I forgot to mention that too. If you downsize the baits, the gills bother you.
  5. It is in this lake. Its owned by a town and they have some weird rules. No minnows No night fishing 17' maximum Electric only 55lb max ( one of the rules is no reckless driving, like you can do that in an outfitted fishing boat with 2 people and a 55lb thrust motor) Must wear life jacket at all times Some others, so they take an already difficult lake and make it harder haha
  6. I think the only love bait you can use is worms. Definitely no minnows, and I don't know about cut bait. Worth checking into though.
  7. I will take the advice guys thanks!
  8. Oh and we caught them on a wacky rigged stick bait fished on the drop shot in baby bass color. Any other ideas on what bait to try?

    Having some difficulty (understandably so I think) catching fish at this new spot. Old quarry, extremely clear 15-20' visibility, goes from shoreline to 30'+ in about 10 yards, no cover to speak of and if there was the top of the tree is 50' under water. The only thing we have caught a couple on in 4 trips is dropshot. Maybe this place is not going to produce numbers, but I'm looking for ideas anyway haha. If you give up on fishing and just go look around you can see big (20"+) maybe bigger as they are 20' away. So it would be nice to catch some of them...
  10. Like others have said, spend the extra and get the hmg
  11. I haven't been fishing much so far this year, and the times I have gone were for bluegill/crappies. But when that was slow I have tossed around a spinnerbait to pass the time. Have not caught any bass on one yet this year, but I have gotten a couple nice northerns.
  12. I have all of my tackle in 3701 boxes and don't have anything that won't fit so far. Granted I don't have a huge collection either. Holds 7-8 3701s and a Plano spinner bait tray. I also have this bag
