Don’t you love them?? My coworker has been telling me about this place for years. It changed hands and then moved locations, but still awesome service. I dropped my truck off today (e brake won’t hold) around 2:45 and they said they would look at it tomorrow. They called back today at 4:15 and said come pick it up, $61 with tax. I think I’ll give them at least $75 haha

Have you tried shutting the machine off and see if they bite better afterwards? I feel like the answer to the question is species dependent. White bass bite like sharks, black bass ignore lures

@Mr. Aquarium, get some damiki armor shad in 3 inch and put them on a jighead. I tried it for the first time this winter and it’s caught fish every time. Zoom tiny fluke also works but sinks a little faster so use lighter head with it oh yes and gulp minnow is similar, used it for years in the cold

They are from across the ocean, I wouldn’t put them in the necessary category

Dude! I just caught a spot on my lunch break from the bank with a damiki. And a herring

I been tossing small plastic craws my whole life! I can get 30-50 smallies in a day sometimes, zero carp ever. Smallies bite carp don’t haha. Almond joy has nuts mounds don’t

Clearly you weren’t holding your mouth right

I’ve never seen a line thru in the store but if I do, I’m getting it!

Yes, the way it lays against the belly (and back hook also) fair warning / spoiler alert: he doesn’t use EWG

I watched a video recently about this from elite series angler Kyle welcher. I didn’t realize you could install a treble incorrectly until watching that

I got a bunch of nice smallies burning a spinner bait the same day I saw half a dozen big foot riding a herd of unicorn been skunked ever since

Silly non biting fish

I think you could get one approaching 50” with your determination down here. Most TN fishermen ain’t going fishing if it’s below 40 degrees and 99.9% definitely ain’t going if it’s that cold with the wind blowing. You could have them all to yourself a lot of the time

I’m surrounded by them but never really tried to catch one for more than a couple minutes. Come on down, I can point you toward them!

All that…….. And three smallies over 6? Helluva year all around, I would retire!!!

@JoeDeal55, you’re doing the Lord’s work, keep it up!!! Makeup prices put tackle to shame

Darn skippy!! Haha. We don’t do bugs (thank gooodness, they seem beyond impossible to get rid of)

The temperature was supposedly 42 but it kept getting windier and maybe colder. I talked the wife into going , at first she was loving it driving the boat. Then it was pretty darn cold and she was using a dog for warmth and flipping me the bird with mittens on so we called it.

I would think you’ll be fine on short journeys. My mom has a v6 outback and it’s quite strong

Spoons

Fishing with the motor running…… I’ve done it cool looking rig

4 cylinder outback?

I think you are a heavy cover fishing scientist

I’ve had it happen in fresh water from snapping turtles and river otters. The otters took the whole darn thing, snappers always leave me the fish heads. I failed to ask either group of critters what their nourishment level was

I cleared mine once, had to re enter a bunch of passwords .
