I to have a 10 or so yr. Old 5.1 on my spinnerbait rod and a 6.1 as a backup.

For me it's a 30 oz. Stainless cup filled with ice and black coffee,a gallon bottle of ice tea [ Sugar free] that gets poured over the ice once the coffees gone and a couple of nutrigrains or poptarts that usually don't get eaten anyway as I'm preoccupied with fishing.

For me it's jig, chatterbait, spinnerbait w/single colorado blade. As for retrieve I'm just up shallow around any cover I can find wood weeds etc.just cast and winding.

Since I often say I have no use for deep,or clear, or cold or weedless water I'd say those are my weaknesses. My strength would have to be catching them when they're willing to bite what I want to throw.

I would choose the bug over the chunk as you can always make the bug smaller but you can't make the chunk bigger.

3/4 and 1oz. Weights 7-6 heavy/xtrafast flipping stick. 30lb. 832. Edit: forgot to mention I was using a 7.3 reel with this . Moving to an 8.3 this season.

3 that come to mind are reaction innovations double wide beaver 5.2"and Berkley papa pit boss and jumbo chigger craw both 5". Of these the double wide would be the bulkiest.

Mostly all the crayfish i 've seen walking around or in fish's throat have been the typical brown /Orange. However I did find at a launch once in april a dead craw that was mostly black with small blue spots and sky blue under sides of the claws. And later that same season [June I think ]at a different pond i found one that was green pumpkin-ish.

I needed more plastics like a hole in my head. But looked like a good deal so I bit. Also I used code 'GOFISH' for 10% off so I got it for $40

Hey @BigAngus752 I can give to you a lot of reasons NOT to move here (snow, taxes,potholes, frozen pipes, dopey neighbors)but lack of a frog bite ain't one of them. @Derek1 keep chucking 'em they can be had from shore.

I usually take out 8 rods which means I have at least 7 back up plans if they won't hit my buzzbait.?

Oops! My bad. Sorry.

I think "ipg" is lefty

I've fished standing in my lowe 1032 for 25 years. I can pretty much do any style of fishing and while I don't jerkbait much its 1 technique that I have have a problem with in that I tend to thwack my rod against the side of the boat when working it. Also I do try to avoid winds over 15 mph but once it gets over 25 it can be dangerous. Only thing I can think to add is putting anything wider than a 1032 in an s10 Wil be a tight squeeze at best. Depends on where the wheelwells line up. I put mine in my colorado but it's a 4door if it wasn't the boat wouldn't go in flat. Something I didn't think about when I bought the truck as I took it for granted with my Sierra and scottsdale. One last thing ill add is I've fished from my buddies bass Hunter style and I feel that an aluminum jon has room for more gear 1 or 2 people.

To make it through the season without breaking a rod. Been on a bad stretch of about 4 years breaking at least 1.

I Double wide beaver 3/4oz. Tungsten wgt. 6/0grip pin hook. 6-1

So you'll need a skirt making tool of some kind or at least a way to spread open.the collar then pull the skirt material through it.

For just collars lure parts online

In the boat: 6-1, 5-11, 5-5, 5-4, 5-2 From the bank: 4-11, 4-6, 4-5, 4-4, 3-10

Shallow Hal

Got out for about 4.5 hrs today. After no bites the 1st 2 hrs found a few. Got 9 on a spinnerbait and 2 on a chatterbait with this one weighing in at 5-1.

Got out today for what was my first day on the water with the sun shining since sept.6th. The price for that luxury air temp 35 at launch with a cold NW wind gusting to 20+. Managed just 2 ;1 on a spinnerbait and this 3-3 on a buzzbait.

An old guy once told me an old guy once told him "so long as the water is warmer than the air they'll hit on top"

Plastic never trailer hook always for me.

Got out today again in the rain/drizzle. Boated 9 3 on spinnerbaits and 6 on a black buzzbait with 3 good ones in the mix that weighed 5-I, 4-2,(pictured)and 3-9.
