This is like going golfing with one club. At least for me, they all have a different purpose. IMHO

Back in the old days, almost every major crankbait maker had a version of a "Coachdog" and a "Red Head". You just don't see them being offered anymore. I don't know why they shouldn't still be effective. Maybe if a guy was to paint up his own and "show 'em something different", he may get some surprising results.

Yup, most of my rods are under 6' and most of my reels are 5.+/-:1.

I want to go fishing as bad as the next guy but thumbing your nose at the need for social distancing by participating in a mass demonstration is not helping the cause. The videos I've seen of the ramp was certainly not SD.

No, these were ringed, 6" , came in 5 or 6 colors.

I throw them all the time, t-rigged....year 'round. Favorites are 6" Power lizards in black, Twister lizards, both 4" and 6" in grape w/red flake, black w/ yellow dots. I also have a treasured supply of BPS spring lizards from long ago. My favorite is mean green.

Anybody try pruning their dogs yet? Mine's looking like a scruffy looking nerf herder. It's been 10 weeks since her last "day o' beauty" and who knows when the groomers are going to be allowed to re-open. ?

The newest edition of Lakemaster Western States includes a HD mapping of Potholes. I've been asking for this for a while now and now it's there. Now if they would just let me go fishing I'd be a happy camper....or fisherman, whatever.

To make matters worse, the frogs in the ponds across the street all started croaking last night. That usually signals to me that it's time get a line wet. Alas, the governor says not yet, son. ?

I was crossing my favorite lake a couple of years ago when I spotted some "nervous water" and decided to check it out. I wheeled my Ranger around and headed toward the disturbance. BOOM....hopelessly stuck on a sandbar in the middle of the lake. Luckily, a walleye fisherman spotted me and pulled me off. "Nervous water" doesn't always mean fish....sometimes it's just shallow water wave action. ?

I can't think of a safer place to be.

State just closed all recreational fishing and shellfishing for 2 weeks. I know there are a couple of big tournament scheduled next month. Not sure how that will effect them.

I believe it was you who got hooked!

Does that thumb pressure trick of clearing a backlash from a casting reel work with braid? Thanks

I believe "Chatterbait" is a brand name.

After 60+ years of fishing I have to say I consider myself a worm/jig fisherman with spinnerbaits a close second. That being said, of the 10 or so bass I have managed to catch that were over 6 lbs.....every one was on a crankbait. I have no explanation for this.

One white cap and I'm gone!

I like a spinnerbait in most cases. I like being able to "helicopter" it into holes and next to objects.

Pretty sad showing for Washington State. I do recall that Larry Nixon is related to Paul Nixon of Nixon's Marine in Pasco however. Although he wasn't born here.

It appears that in my state, that will be perfectly legal soon.

The worst part is fighting your way thru rush hour traffic to get to the launch..........or you could just sleep in awhile longer. ?

My grandson has a great success with chatterbaits........so have I, lol.
