Dont a lot of folks catch em dirt shallow all winter long down on your favorite lake?

Took Bo out for some time outside the fence

The fish itself is too heavy to roll cast with a fly rod. I cant even roll cast a heavy wet streamer much less an actual fish . Throw in a sinker and the question is why thr heck are using a bug whip to cast live bait with sinkers. Your only option to "cast" is just swing it underhanded like you would if it was attached to any other rod. A finesse worm with no sinker is too heavy for fly rod. Believe me ive tried it in a fly fishing only pond. And ive pitched live bluegill with fly rod and a roll cast (in fly casting terms) is beyond impossble

You caught me. Bout to head to the river. Wanna go?

Fishing in heavy rain is ok until it’s below 40. After that, snow is much more pleasant

Wow! You werent kidding!!

Impossible! Haha. The minnow is so heavy all you can do is pitch it underhanded and you better duck/flinch

It flies off the hook. For panfish, you dont need live bait if you have flies. They hit nymphs like crazy

Glad you caught some fish, my season is just getting started

It doesnt get very cold where i live and my boat doesnt go fast....... So my input is useless except for take good care of the waterproof outer layer.

Hate to hear this. They got boat motor trailer and everything from me once. Matthew 6:19-20.

Living in the pacific northwest and then the smoky mountains, you never really had much of a choice! Haha

I have dreams sometimes that i forgot to call a customer back and check my phone in a cold sweat. Just this morning i had two missed calls on my work phone and frantically called them back before i realized the area codes were both 888 and there were recordings on the other end. You wont get lousy service from me if i can help it.

Sweeeeeeet!!!!

Must be a good plug!

Lets do it

Ole faithful Texas rigged purple worm

I like to fish deep and therefore seem to have the opposite experience as most of the responses . Deep fish are not inaccessible, you just have to let more line off your reel

I prefer the same colors per conditions that @A-Jay mentioned. The only problem is the mirror has smeared off of every pair ive ever had so now i just wear the gray ones all the time. They are good all around

I want to share a boat with the two of yall and learn about fluke fishing. I am decent with them, but the flukes i have are handpoured by an old timer that has sold them to lots of pros over the years. Im fairly certain they have some of the best action of any bait out there and i would enjoy seeing them fished by a couple of fluke aficionados

It seems every time I try a new technique or lure I read about I spend all my time hauling water. When I put a plastic worm on a jig head I catch bass. The only time I remember something new working out for me was when I got some bladed jigs from @Bluebasser86 . I’m still mad at the whopper plopper hype, thankfully I was gifted one instead of having to buy one or I would be $13 madder

The main problem I have is there is rarely any “bad” weather in east TN. (Good problem to have I guess) Yet almost everyone constantly complains about it. Oh well I get lots of casting practice in short sleeves

Holy crap its Jeremy Henry. Whats up man? It's Russell. Tell myers he is a terrible golfer for me........
