Too bad water proof 3600 size don't have the one with no section. I end up with water proof 3700 size with 1-2 section for all my terminal tackle and a bag or two of plastic. I store this box and a lure box in front well. I normally go out only a few hour so I don't carry a lot.

You mean on the bottom of the seat? That only good for 3600 Plano size box on my Pro10.0. I don't put all my tackle there just a day box for lure that I'm gonna use that day. Another thing that area will get some water standing if you don't plug scupper hole. I store my lure box and tackle box in the front well.

If I were in FL, I would forget all about large mouth bass fishing for those exotic fish like peacock bass, snake head, clown night, barra bass and also king mackerel and tarpon.

What casting reel are you gonna be using for those 1/8 oz crankbait? Do you already have one?

Canyon Lake in SoCal. one hour to ocean, one hour to snow 20mins to Casino. right between Los Angeles and San Diego. Disneyland, Seaworld and Universal Studio. But before you move here, could you buy me a house in FL? ?

Totally agree here. I never dip Senko in JJ magic but did that with Fat Ika green pumpkin and result were really good especially in water.

You can try but if it is over load then don't. Try light underhand cast not over head bomb cast otherwise you would put too much stress on your rod.

It is depend on how it load up on your rod. I have 2 MH/F rod one is Daiwa tatula and the another is Fenwick ateos. i can cast 130 on Ateos no problem but not on Daiwa. Daiwa has pretty soft tip and 1 oz is pretty dead on limit lure weight. I use that rod with 110 no problem. On the other hand Ateos 7'2 can go beyond their rating I can cast savage gear 3D blue grill(almost 2 oz) with this rod no problem.

I have that Grammy weedless split/drop shot hook and hate it. They weed guard trend to not stay when cast and ruin the action. I use Gamakatsu EWG #2 for my drop shot and never look back.

Yeah those 12t and pescador pro 100 were on my list when shopping for kayak. End up getting pro100 due to light weight and size for convenient of storage and moving around by myself. But look at your video made me think did I make a wrong choice.

I was growing up with Tom hanks movies so my favorite is most of his movies. Sleepless in Seattle castaway forrest gump saving private ryan

Is that ascent 12t? Pretty stable the way you fish.

Since I'm considered myself a rookie in bass fishing, I don't have any specific method just yet. I will change my technique every years to sharpen my skill. Last year I caught most fish on dropshot, so this year I hardly dropshot just sometime when the bite is tough. This year I aim to gain more skill on a little faster moving bait. Like chatterbait/Spinnerbait, Fluke and jerkbait. Next year I plan for shallow crank, square bill, lipless and jigs. And of course when condition is right I would mix in top water every now and then.

I catch 60% of my fish within 5 feet of shoreline bank walker or kayak (more on kayak of course). The different is with kayak, it is more like stealth approach casting into shoreline working the lure back into water more naturally and less spooky. I see a lot of bank fisherman that walk right into shoreline and keep casting out into middle of the lake and(that would spook fish close by from noise vibrations etc). And when they working the lure back, they don't work it back all the way but rather just reel in fast for next cast when approache 5-10 feet, and that where a lot of strikes would happen. Now kayak gain another advantage that they can fish behind grass or tree where bank fisherman can't, but your don't have any of those so that might not apply to your case.

That what I hate with curado 70. I can bomb cast any lure weight no problem and the distance is very good. Once I want to do short cast light weight 1/4oz to target, I would get backlash in couple casts always and my accuracy is not 100% like 50e or SV105. Im thinking of getting scorpion 70hg, really dig that color but afraid of same situation as curado 70 or Abu Garcia mag 2 but Abu made by third company now (Korea o guess)

Good for you.? I myself also have been shied away from Jigs. This year alone I bought over a dozen jig but only use may be once or twice. The total of fish caught this year is one. I might have to force myself to fish with jigs more often.

I actually tried to fish WP90 as prop bait the last few weeks. I have not got any bite yet. The trick is how to make it dive down. I added about 5 feet of Flurocarbon to braid line and let it sit for a few seconds.

Thanks, I think I know what I'm gonna buy next.

Look good. ???

Good time sir. Which kayak did you get? Gotta show off your new ride. I've been taking my boat out more often lately ever since I fixed everything up.

They both have their pros and cons. If I have to have only one, I would get 110. Pros and Cons to me 90 is lighter so you can get soft entrance and create commotion enough to draw fish. Lighter lure mean you can use any medium or medium high rod fast or mod fast for it. The 90 trend to dive but you can solve that with quick jerk at beginning and use braid line. ADDED: today my WP90 gone bad. The rear hook disappeared due to split ring opened up. I don't even remember snagged on anything that bad. 110, this thing really catch fish not too big not to small, just slow retrieve and wait for the blow up. 110 is heavier almost 1oz so it will make quite a bit of splash but not all bad becuz the splash sometime can call fish to check it out all you have to do is to wait abit before start retrieving. Today my first fish hit WP110 a few second after it hit the water, I hadn't even started retrieving. Now 1oz lure you better have a right equipment for it. 130 is huge and heavy, I use this once is a long while mostly when I go to big lake. I have not caught any fish on 130 but that because I don't use it often enough. For 130 I would use High/Mod Fast for it.

Mostly This ^^^ but all depend on weight of lure too if 1/2 oz or more I trend to use MH/F with also soft tip. The rod I like 6'8 or 6'10. Any reel would be just fine but I don't like high speed reel 8:1 or more. For line I use both braid 30lbs and hybrid #8.

I do, actually there are many reels in flemarket right now that catch my eyes like Abu ALX, daiwa sv105 and even Chornarch CI4+. I've heard that the chronarch even though 150 size (spool size) but body is about the same as 200I just a tad narrower.

Good time with dog man, I wish I can take mine with me. My wife won't allow me to take the dog fishing any more. Why? The last time I took my dog out, she fall down the lake. She was shaking bad becuz It was still cold and I had to end my trip prematurely. Another reason is if patrol see my dog in the lake I might get a ticket for that too.

Thanks, right now I'm holding on to K to replace my tatula Ct type R. If it is the same size as I, I might have to look else where.
