Welcome to Bass Resource, I'm in Waco Texas and the heat is hard to fish through, I have found going earlier before sunrise helps and fishing deep after sunrise can help get some bites, our community college has signs up by there river dock with fishing times, I'd call and ask though cause some may not have signs, the university denied me access to there river property

Royal Stinger That jig looks great.

Thanks to all for the comments, I believe I'll dedicate a rod to Texas rig and throw it until I'm confident, based on my river conditions a Texas rig makes more since being weedless and all.

I'm never heard of the jika rig, googled it though, looks interesting, how is it on hang ups? Good at getting through things? The river I fish is very rocky and I sacrifice tackle often when fishing bottom.

Thanks, wish I had this yesterday, gonna buy a new scale Friday, don't want to get a new pb without a accurate weight again.

I have a soft tape from cabelas, didn't know I could get the weight by girth. I'v been using the website below since my scale broke. https://tpwd.texas.gov/fishboat/fish/recreational/catchrelease/bass_length_weight.phtml

Since I started fishing it's always been easier to use a hard bait to get a bite, soft plastics are not in my confidence baits or even my top 5, and I want to change that. I think they were pushed aside because it became overwhelming, there's so many soft plastics and so many different rigs to tie up the endless options made me tie on a crankbait instead. So what's your favorite rig and type of plastic to use with it?

Waiting for payday to get the scale, last one broke because I went for a cheap mechanical one, I want to get a good digital one this time.

I have only used the spooks but they were easy to walk when I started learning

After I got done fishing I went to the store and got some more chatterbaits in different colors lol

I decided to throw a zman chatterfrog I got last year and never used.

Right off the bank, maybe 6 feet or less

I got a 21 and a quarter inch bass this morning, my scales broke but based on the weight to length conversion it's 5.71 lbs. I thought this river only had 1 to 2 pounders until today.

I like some of the unlimited gravity remixes, like the awolnation sail remix. But that's about it, couldn't find any other stuff I liked.

I go to Cabelas every holiday because they usually have a $2.99 bin with a bunch of brands in it, I got a bunch of strike king and xcalibur stuff last time.

I use the jr size in cricket frog and shad frog, thinking of trying dart frog next

Back problems suck, I had 2 herniated discs in my lower spine that cause some painful sciatica, couldn't walk or stand up straight for 2 years, I changed doctors and insurance and finally got injections in my spine so the sciatica went away but if I mess my back up again the Dr wants to do the surgery, not looking forward to it at all

I usually put a split shot on the hook to add the weight I need.

I enjoy fishing with someone most of the time, but fishing alone is great.

Emotion stealth 11 angler, Cabelas has them for $360 right now, usually $450.

Lol see it all the time, I constantly have to tell my wife to stop reeling the lure into the first line guide, she gets excited with every fish and reels it all the way in lol

Yes?

I found a 3 shelf rolling cart with rod racks on both sides on Craigslist, I keep it in the house cause Texas is humid, the plastic pieces that held the rods were a bit hard and I had to force the rod into place so I replaced them with velcro straps. Before that shelf I just put them in an empty corner. I always leave baits tied on since I use them often, just don't reel down to much before storing the rod, it could damage the line or rod eventually.
