They are there...no doubt. Will you catch a larger bag of largies than smallies? Not likely, but there are some hawgs up there, just need to know where to go. Lake of the Isles area holds some nice largemouth.

I've had success rigging a floating trick worm, neko, style with a small nail weight.

Chatterbait. I don't even get bites. I've tried various colors, trailers, but have only tried 3/8 oz., because that's typically the size spinnerbait I use.

30# braid....if the fish are missing it, or short striking, I may add a 10-12# mono leader.

Yes, these are the best I've found...just don't like the price. Z-Man needs to come up with some bulk sales.

The newest one is black, with a copperish finish.

*Disclosure, not trying to start an argument* I thought he was going to play at least another season before he announced his retirement, so this doesn't surprise me. He has shown that he is still very capable and a top 5 QB in the NFL. Here's my issue, why do it the way he did? I get he still has the fire to compete. But to say he has still has something to prove?? What exactly?10 Super Bowl appearances. 7 Super Bowl wins. 5 Super Bowl MVP's. 3 League MVP's. All Time leader in wins, TD passes, yards, and completions in the regular season. GOAT, arguably yes(but I'm not here to argue). #BillsMafia

Strader always seems to get caught on camera missing a fish and getting pi55ed.

I have 5 casting rods and 4 spinning rods. I feel like I have everything I need for the techniques I use.

I still have and throw a few of those Terminator titanium spinnerbaits in 3/8 oz. You can't break 'em and they catch fish.

Last spring I learned of Sunline FC Sniper for crankin'....so glad I did.

I picked up a few 13 Fishing Flat Daddy's this past summer to use in the fall/winter. I'm very impressed. They have a nice tight wobble, decent hooks(I always change mine out anyway) and the colors are awesome. I used the Mudbug Punch, Tweetie Pie, and Dream Gill colors. All colors caught fish. I've actually been trying out a few different 13 Fishing hardbaits and like them all.

I have the windproof Reaper and love it. It does fit snug, and requires me to use the side zipper to get on and off. I bought the medium, as the large was too baggy and too long in the sleeves. I have worn it over a long sleeve T shirt and hoodie and was plenty warm. It definitely works well as a wind breaker and sheds some water, but it is not waterproof.

Sluggos.....wacky rigged can be deadly, and they are cheap. I can also catch 6-10 fish using one sluggo.

The new Lew's BB1 Pro reel, 6.2:1, 12# Sunline Sniper. It's going on a Shimano SLX 7'2" glass for crankbaits.
