Yes shiner is not a shad

There are several dozen kinds of shiner in TN, most of which are tough to tell apart. You typically have to do some serious research to find the exact species around here, not sure about Illinois

Shiner

Wow, thanks for all that! Pretty cool

I say belly flop into the swamp. Live action!!!

Negative, wind is supposed to be calmer the next 4 days. Which might not mean much but they will look silly cancelling an event on a weekend that sunny and 60 4 days straight ive jigged up a lot of white bass behind where that guy is standing in the thumbnail photo for that video. We also ate at the floating restaurant in that cove which has a hole in the floor with a bunch of bluegill you can feed and a huge largemouth that passed through repeatedly

I got my first one, felt nothing. Hopefully I can get #2. I tried to schedule it on my phone last night and it was beyond confusing

It’s only going to keep rising the next 4 days, I’m guessing it was the wind

Cool!

Did I read that he didn’t even use his graph and won the tournament? I don’t think he used it much in the last elite event either and came in 3rd

You got that right. He’s always laughing all the way to the bank

Ditto. I don’t like treble hooks with braided line, same with cranks and jerkbaits

I always deflect all credit for any accomplishments elsewhere, that way nobody expects anything from me haha

That’s about the craziest thing ever. We don’t have power plant lakes so I’ve never seen anything like that. We did formerly have a couple steam plants with warm water discharges into the river but they are no longer allowed to discharge hot water. They still put out slightly warmer water but are being phased out after a few large fly ash spill disasters.

I haven’t turned on a depth finder since october and success level hasn’t changed. The best way to learn is to get out there and start fishin. Work is what gets in the way!

So, half of a lake is private??? Never heard of such, is there a chain link fence in the water?

I was trying to say fellow member Koz might be able to help, he has lived in the low country SC, upstate SC, and NW Georgia me personally, I’ve never moved more than about 15 miles haha

Cant hurt to try!

@Koz Might be able to help out

Fish make new slime coats everyday

Yes! Pair that with a finesse 36v trolling motor and you’re set !

Dry all winter? That’s something I’ve never experienced

You already tried to order a bag of 6 inch finesse chunk trailers on tackle warehouse and you know it!!

I throw that on my finesse 8’ heavy power rod with finesse 100 lb braid after I’ve already covered a lot of water with my finesse 9 inch Huddleston and dragged my 1.5 oz finesse jig with 6 inch finesse chunk trailer. Works every time

That and the terrifying boat rides are what keep me out of tourneys
