That too. Along with other jig applications.

I have to say, the only finesse bait/soft plastic I've ever caught a fish on is a tube. So I plan on becoming proficient in soft plastics this year. I have told myself that I will NOT tie on a spinnerbait once this year. A promise which I'm sure I will not keep. But I have a bunch of senkos, finesse worms, grubs, and lizards, and I want to commit to catching fish on texas rigs, wacky rigs. Also I want to become better with crankbaits and jerkbaits.

Picked one up in olive green today. Pretty excited to be able to use it. In a month or so...

Everything I've read indicates that there will definitely be a change in April. Just remains to be seen whether it will be just a change to a year-round catch and release while keeping the same harvest season or make an earlier harvest season as well. I'm thinking it will be the first option.

I've still got a month of hard water to look forward to, regardless of how warm it is. And I'll only be in the 40s.

I don't have spotify, but I do have a fairly extensive music library on my phone, I just use her watching something terrible as an excuse to go to bed early. "You're going to watch Grey's Anatomy? Oh, look, it's 8:30, time for bed." Makes sense when you get up at 4:30 in the A.M. Turn on some Simon and Garfunkel or Moody Blues with a 30 minute timer on. I'm all set.

quote name="cjam93" post="1717443" timestamp="1425522827"] Thanks guys for all the suggestions! I am planning on using jerkbaits as well! For the people that suggested tubes, how would you rig and fish them?

Then not the Lake of the Woods I am familiar with.

In Mancelona/Bellaire?

Green pumpkin. Watermelon. Tubes tubes tubes.

On my go-to lake, there is a small river delta, essentially, that is only 2-3 feet deep, max. When it's not iced over it gets to 10-15 degrees warmer than the rest of the lake by midday. Great, great spot for spring frogging. That's where I figured out the drawbacks to using light braid for frog fishing.

I get very frustrated being in Traverse City. I am at the epicenter of a trophy smallmouth fishery. Literally, there are 10 lakes I can go to and catch 6-7 pound smallies any day(excluding January-March), and the only real option I have for fishing gear is a Gander Mountain. I love the place, but it gets pretty stale after the third trip there in a week. There is also much more of an emphasis on big water tackle than bass gear. I don't know why Bass Pro wouldn't jump at the chance to open up their second store up here.

Of course you can't. That's why there's speed metal, thrash metal, metalcore, progressive metal, black metal, heavy metal, and John Denver.

I was surfing the GM mobile site yesterday and a glitch had them as buy one/get one. Which got me really excited. They changed it after a half hour, though. Wonder how many people tried to get THAT deal just to be disappointed.

I've got one that I use for jerks. Short rod, short handle. Gives good action.

I couldn't be disappointed. Maynard does not disappoint. My buddy saw A Perfect Circle in '02, he said it was spectacular. Allegedly, a coworker of mine know Maynard, so I'll be able to meet him, which could cause my head to explode.

I saw Tool in '06, great show. I thought that Kyuss weren't touring as Kyuss for a long, long time. I saw them at Orion as Vista Chino since it was sans Josh Homme. Really want to see Puscifer. A lot.

My last show was the Orion Music and More Festival. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica (two sets), Dropkick Murphys, Rise Against, Deftones, among others. My brother is a local DJ and got free VIP tickets so we had free lunch, booze, private seating. Two days of awesome. Two years ago this summer on Belle Isle in Detroit.

Kahn! KAAHHN!!!

Uhhh...you don't just fill it until the line runs out...?

My wife bought me a new tackle bag for Christmas. As if I needed an excuse to fill up four more tackle trays...
