I have been slaying fish on a #8 Rapala Xrap in a minnow pattern in ponds with a visibility of less than a foot. Fish are not very good readers so there are no set rules.

I've fished regular jigs, but I've never fished hair jigs. Everyone says they shine in cold water, is that their only use? OR could you fish it when the fishing is slow or if you're around smaller fish?

Those of you who have confidence when throwing a spinnerbait, what color are you throwing? What size are you throwing? Are you using it as a search bait making long casts or target cast? Thanks! -Payton

Yesterday I went out to a pond that recently had quite a bit of rain and water visibility was around 6 inches. I threw a small Rapala Xrap #6 and whacked the bass and panfish for hours. Also as the day came to a close it got cloudy and the wind started picking up so I pulled out a white buzz bait and caught this beautiful pre spawn female!

Fun to throw on the pompadour jr. little one pounders will fly out of the water for that thing!

What are the advantages of throwing a jika rig? -Payton

Inspiring story! Glad you shared. Best of luck in the future! -Payton

I just want some tips on some lures to throw to catch crappie and panfish when the bass fishing is slow... thanks. -Payton

Hope everyone keeps believing that!

Do you guys use bubblegum colored plastics? Some think it might steal their man card but I like them. How about you? -Payton

The 3 inch ones?

What is your go to favorite fluke color?

Do you guys fish in the rain? If so what do you wear and what do you throw? Any precautions you need to take with your equipment?

Does anyone know of any creeks near the Fort Smith area? Looking for new places to catch some fish!

Well said, I agree 100%

I love using a rage craw on a jig as a trailer it has tremendous action, but some ponds I'm fishing lately seem to have a little bit smaller fish in them so I want to decrease the overall bulkiness of my presentation. What are some slimmer jig trailers? -Payton

A very good swimbait for me (that I've recommended many times) is a Berkley Ripple Shad. Get the medium size one I believe it is 4 inches. Rig it on a jighead or a very light swimbait hook. Hold on because fish will absolutely destroy that thing. Hope this helps you catch a few more fish! -Payton

Nice one buddy! -Payton

how are you rigging these? I have some but have not used them. -Payton

A killer finesse swimbait for me is the Berkley "Ripple Shad" on a jighead. Fish tear this thing up, what is your favorite? -Payton

any good links for info on any of this? -Payton

I was out fishing by myself, temp was around 70 degrees with blue skies. I was throwing a Rick Clunn series 2 squarebill in a craw pattern. Cranked it by some wood and this girl hammered it. (P.s. I hate putting fish on the ground pains me to see it but I wanted a length measurement and I was by myself, placed her down very carefully and took the picture as quick as possible.) -Payton

I'm from Fort Smith a little north of ya, welcome aboard!
