Got out this morning around 7-11:30. Boated 13 bass,1 on a spinnerbait, 2 on a frog and 10 on a buzzbait with one decent one that went 3-8 on the buzzbait.

Got out today about 7-12 caught 11 bass 1 on a frog the rest on a buzzbait with a couple of good ones weighing 3-6 and 3-8 both on the buzzbait.

10 fish for 60+ lbs. =2- 30+ bags to me. Congrats on. Great trip!!

Fished a pretty long day today logging about 9.5 hours between two different bodies of water. Caught a total of 32 bass, 15 on a buzzbait, 10 on Texas rig yo mamma and 7 on a spinnerbait with the best of the day a 4-14 and 3-10 both on the buzzbait.

For the colder mornings oatmeal; warmer weather frosted mini wheats. If I want or need to be out the door quick it's a couple poptarts for the drive and a couple more when I launch. I usually have some poptarts in my tackle bag but almost never eat while fishing.

200 b5-- g loomis 'spinnerbait special'

I've done it with bismuth based jigs I bought not realizing they had no guards. Lead is plenty soft so should be able to as well. Can't speak to tungsten,it's pretty hard but I'd imagine it's possible.

Got about an hour of fishing in from the bank.before work today, caught 2 both on a buzzbait with this one weighing 3-12

"The wind last night blew my canoe across my yard" @ol'crickety wow! Hope there wasn't any damage. I too Can get knocked around by wind,fortunately fo me most my waters have bends and dogleg turns so i can usually find a corner to hide.

Me too @ol'crickety. got another stretch of work ahead starting tomorrow so im glad to have gotten this girl.

Well it's been a bummer of a spring so far with work and life taking to much of my time. Can't believe we're heading into May and today was only my 3rd outing this month, all those in the last 5 days. With the last 2 trips being so-so and seeing ice in the birdbath when I left this morning I wasn't high with hope. But l managed to catch 6 , 1 on a spinnerbait and 5 on a buzzbait( go figure) with the 1st of those 5 the best of the season so far weighing 5-4.

If the guy in the back of the boat is dumb enough to beat the already beaten banks with the same bait he should get beat 3-1. What he should do is let the guy upfront beat the banks for bucks while he breaks ranks and casts beyond the outside break for a pre-spawn behemoth. Or something like that🙂

Ark reinforcer ? My guess.

What works for me , works for me; doesn't mean it'll ever work for you.

My house in maine is in the path of totality. I thought about burning a few Vaca days to go up but realized I didn't care enough. However if this had been in July or August when I normally take my trips north I probably would have planned my trip to be up there for it.

Never used an 8 biggest i use are 7's which I throw on 1oz. down to 1/2oz. Without issue so i don't think 3/4 would be a problem with the 8's. Just gotta have the rod to do it. I burn 1oz. Baits with a single sz.7 on a 7-5 h/f with an 8:3 reel up in maine for smallies and they run fine no rolling.

If i remember correctly,In the old days they called this "half-hitching" which enabled the spook to be walked up to and around standing timber and dock posts etc.

Couldn't remember which ones i use , had to look it up, the regal blades are the ones.

I've been making my own with heads/frames from LPO/ stamina for at least 25 years now. I use or have used several different styles,guppy, bullet , minn o spin, king spin, both painted and bare. They all work. It's more about what you want; basic or something more fancy looking. @Big Swimbait I was banging out some baits today while watching the lions bucs game which included a couple meant to replicate the weed waders of my past; 1/4oz. Double white Indiana blade

I'd have to go with the punch rig double wide beaver. Although this would probably be 3rd for numbers behind spinnerbaits and buzzbaits, maybe even 4th behind frogs, as it's only a primary option for 8-10 weeks it still produced almost half(24 of 62) of my 3lb.+ fish including my 2 biggest (6-3,6-4). The setup: 7'6" h/xf Allstar lite flippin' rod, 8:2 slx, 40lb. 832, 6/0.ewg mustad grip pin, 3/4 or 1oz. Tungsten weight held with a jumbo peg it.

Shallow, fast.

Craziest thing I've done ? Work for the money to buy it all.😁

Couple weeks ago I had a pkg. Due on the 14th. About 4 a.m. it had arrived at the post office thats a 3 minute walk from my house.by 7 a.m. it had been moved to a p.o. about 20 minutes north of me. By 3 a.m. the 15th it was at a central sorting facility an hour away 10 miles north of Boston. on the 16th it went back to the p.o. 20 min from me and then back to my home p.o. and finally delivered.
