i was using some scent that hadn't used it in a while the hole was closed over with dried scent and i was spraying towards me like a fool. of course it goes all over my hands, my shirt, my wrist, in all the groves of my watch. oh well live and learn

Just a quick Public Service Announcement about using scent be sure not to get the scent all over you and on your watch that you wear everyday or you will smell like fish oil and garlic and it will drive you nuts trying to get rid of the smell. thank you

i choose by time of day and what i'm fishing if it's grass i pick up a buzz bait and then go to a bladed jig or swim jig if it's hard bottom i pick up a spook early and then go to a crankbait if it's deep water i pick up a spook or popper early and then go to a jerkbait if it's stumps i pick up a buzz bait or frog and then go to a squarebill or spinnerbait but there are times when it honestly doesn't matter you can throw whatever you want and they will eat it, so don't get to caught up on specifics

really want to be focusing on swimbaits this year and the monkey talked me into something

if i'm covering water 1-2 if im slowing down because i know there are fish in the area 2-4

i use an under amour bag i can fit 6 plano 3700's plus the side pockets which have my spinner bait box you could also go this route which holds 7 3700's and i think you should be able to have most of the stuff you need in 7 3700's

have you noticed more depth with them? and what do you fish them on?

go with the 50 if there's one thing i've learned about swimbaits you always end up wanting bigger

i tend to stick with rof 12 i feel they are a good medium ground

Finding the fish is the absolute most important thing. As far as baits go I would start with something like a savage gear 3d trout or a 68 or 8" hudd just slow roll them everywhere try to find the higher percentage areas and fish them

normally a 3/8oz siebert swimjig with a keitech SIF or a gambler ez trailer slow rolled through sparse grass maybe twitch it once in a while

if they eat a 6 they will eat an 8

take a look at the charts on siebert outdoors, mike has a bream coloured jig mainly green pumpkin with some orange and chartreuse on the belly

they also have a couple lightning rods on sale for $16

picked up a frabill f2 thanks @BassNJake

just ordered a frabill f2 jacket in green

Why fish it on a baitcaster? Should be fine to throw on a spinning rod

i dont normally let things get me mad but i don't appreciate people that cut between me and the shore in kayaks

who knows maybe they'll be back by then

do you have a boat?

straight braid is a bad idea now braid to a leader can be amazing

fellow Canadians my local CT had waterproof boots for $35

agreed, i recently put this on and it's absolutely killer

yes fish them shallow over grass or on a transition between rock and grass and you will likely get bit
