Put one of the gizzards on a circle hook

Thanks that's what I was thinking, especially since there are several miles of it

Can someone tell me what this stuff is called?

Finally got my first fish on a chatterbait

Wire brush and coca cola. Hold your breath and turn your head while scrubbing

@TOXIC, glad your daughter is ok. That's a big bear !

Hard to say there, maybe There toward the top left. Looks like some interference and maybe some panfish/scattered shad everywhere else. Near my house there’s tons of current and debris and my graph has been showing at least that much stuff 100% of the time

You’d be ice fishing in March!

Florida!! I should have guessed. The land of bass Shoot! I would be elated with 20 1-2 lb bass. Might even write a letter to momma

Active mats sound like Rice Krispies around here with the occasional sucking sound

I wait until the air is above 32 if I can, just easier on my outboard and rod guides. I still bank fish if it’s not going to get above 32 and just hope for the best, maybe build a fire

My alarm goes off when idling also. Sorry for the inconveniences but at least you didn't have to spend the night on your boat! Nice job catching fish anyhow

Can I come fishing where you catch 20+ 1-2 pounders every trip???

@RealtreeByGod, that is indeed a spotted bass

Once again, I should have just started selling people fishing stuff that doesn’t work years ago!!! I would be retired in a lake house

God bless the USA

The banana this is a widely held superstition, mostly among saltwater captains but lots of freshwater guides have adopted it as well. I thought I heard it originated from a ship full of bananas sinking but I’m not sure

Congrats!!! From what I have heard about California the big ones have a pHD in avoiding fishermen . Also, I like that old school ranger

Them big bellied girls can swim reaaaaalllly fast! I had one about pull me off the front deck once

Hardbaits can melt too!

You better practice monster hooksets on your layover in Dallas!!! Have fun down there!

One word answer to this question : WATAUGA

After reading this thread, it seems I need to change careers and start selling fish stuff to all of you!

Thank you very much @Brad Reid, that’s exactly the kind of info I was looking for

Holy moly congratulations
