That’s like a finesse Alabama rig with 5/0s 😂

Thanks pat, granted I’ve never caught them in “chocolate milk” with a trap as the thread title suggests. The only thing that works (well) for me in that water clarity is black/purple soft plastics or paddle tail baits

I love rattle trappin this fish as well as the one in my avatar were captured with a lipless. Still lifetime skunked on red eye shad tho, go figure

The pre have already spawned so they are post. What is time?

They make new reels everyday

It’s always post spawn and pre spawn unless it’s the day or two they are spawning ……..

Dang I need to start truckin haha

@T-Billy, trust me it’s way better at 5 degrees than 105 degrees. #alabama

@airshot That’s why the bank has a tall building downtown

@T-Billy, gotcha. Holy expletive we actually still had some ice in shallow coves yesterday and it was 65 and sunny haha

Nice work @Woody B!!!! That’s a certified Spotapotamus. I would have to tie myself to the steering wheel if I hooked into one like that, don’t want to get pulled overboard. I found a nice mudline today where our creek hits the main river at the lakehouse. Only problem is a park ranger told me he was locking the gate for sunset about 15 minutes into my casting 😂 (and 30 minutes before dark) the water in front of our dock is currently ultra brown and I don’t like it, was green yesterday

Thanks, although my success is due to having my line in the water as long as possible. The guy holding the rod is always trying to mess it up

Are those waves and logs???

I really should try a brush hog, heard about how good they are my whole life

I never realized it but I fish a bit like @Team9nineas far as simplicity. I still don’t use elaztech but we both try to fish very often with normal lures

I don’t think I’ve ever casted a brush hog, but I’ll take the credit anyway! Haha. Glad you got on em. I need to look into that BPS tiny beaver

It poured all day here, more chocolate. Get out your graham crackers and marshmallows

Paid for my college! I liked those odds

@thediscochef, did you dig up an ancient burial ground to make a swimming pool recently???

@FishTax, the pic goes blurry when I zoom in but it sure looks like a threadfin. Gizzards have a more rounded/blunt nose than threadfin and are generally slimier. Also threadfin often have a yellow tint to their tails, a lot of locals even refer to them as yellowtails

I’ve lived thru 3-4 of these, the only thing that changes is carp actually bite

Seems like I heard they aren’t showing day 1 on live but that may have been just for BPT

I only had free from 5- dark, figured I would give it a try on my offshore magic zone. Haven’t had much success there this winter like normal. Finally got a SMB there on a damiki but it was decrepit looking one 😂. I was treated with a lovely sunset at 6:30, days are getting long

I strive to catch SMB about 2/3 the size of @Dwight Hottle avg catch

The weatherman had a rare perfect prediction, 65 and sunny today
