Thank you. The more and more I do anything I realize I don't know as much as I thought I did and that's when I really progress. I know I have a lot to learn and I want to enjoy the process.

Thanks for the advice and I'll try a Senko and see how that works out. I know it's not the best but I live about a 2 min walk so it's nice and easy, maybe I'll try Southards instead. Thanks again.

Hey everyone, I've been fishing for years, on and off, both a mix of fresh and saltwater. I've finally got to the point where I have some extra time and need to spend some more time outdoors, both shooting my bow and fishing. Something I always struggled with when fishing freshwater was lure selection, I've read books, watched videos, etc but felt I could never get it right. I feel like I never got the hang of where to cast or what to use. I've built a nice selection of lures but I'm not sure if I should learn to perfect one, ie just use spinnerbaits until I feel comfortable and than try something else. I've always been a fan of spinnerbaits and they're really what I've had the most luck with but there really isn't any rhyme or reason to what one I use, just throw one on and fish it. Being on Long Island, I really don't have much big lakes by me but what would you guys recommend in this situation. The lake is a series of three fishable lakes/ponds that are all connected by little man-made tubes underground, with two being about 3-4 acres and the main one being about 20. No boats. It's max depth is only 4-5 ft and pretty clear. I'm probably going to go early this weekend and was curious how I should handle this. I'll attach a screenshot. just so you can see For reference the lake also contains: Brown Bullhead, Sunfish, Largemouth Bass, Yellow Perch, Carp Species, Brown Trout, and Rainbow Trout. Thanks again & sorry if my thought are a little jumbled.
