Had a really good day on Sunday in the buddy tournament I fish. 13.94 lbs anchored by 4.08 lunker, all five were mine, and all 5 came on @Siebert Outdoors brush dredge jigs with rattle band. The 3 lber in my partner's left hand absolutely choked a natural craw with green pumpkin sapphire rage craw, the rest were on blue craw with rage craw or Bizz baits cutter craw in one of their blue flake dual colors. Lost the blue craw jig deep in a lay down an hour before the end of the tournament, then culled out a 17 inch fish with 20 to go. It's an awesome feeling when it all comes together and they are crushing what you throw.

Most of the ponds are not very bank fishing friendly, Newton pond near greenwood is one of the better ones, or the pond at the forestry service headquarters at Redden near georgetown. The state parks (trap and killens) offer rental boats, and some bank fishing. Wagamons has produced the last 2 state records, I have seen a 7+ pulled from there and Concord in recent years in tournaments I have been in.

Sorry it took so long for you to get a response, not many of us from DE on here. Did you find bank fishing while you were visiting?

that was how my Christmas present arrived from amazon (Diawa Tatula 721 hfb) my gf had no idea what she'd ordered, so she didn't question the fact that it was 4' long in a 7 1/2' box... amazon took the return, and I got the replacement from sportsmans outfitters for $20 cheaper. That one was in a tube

ugh, just what I needed this week... I guess a branch fell over the weekend, because my truck hasn't been anywhere other than in the driveway.

I think what I have the ned tied on right now is a 5.5 or 6'M lightning rod shock, 1000 series "mr crappie" from lews with 8lb invizx, but it might be on the cabela's tourney trail 6'M with a 2000 series Kastking Summer spooled with 10lb Yozuri hybrid (don't tell my gf, it's her rig). the first rig the spool of line cost as much as the rest of the combo, and the other is about $70 right now not on sale.

should be just in time for our "spring break" Lake Anna trip

or any neko rig for that matter. I prefer #2-#1 finesse wide gap on wacky rigs, but will go as large a 2/0. Sometimes I use an o-ring, other times not. I haven't seen much if any difference between the two, other than the 4-5 seconds it takes to pop an o-ring onto a new senko.

I think you'll find siebert outdoors on the top of most people's list around here. See link to right in the sponsor section. I haven't been on the water to use them yet, but I just ordered 7 jigs from them a month ago for $28.15 including shipping.

I was informed this morning that I'll be working the event this year instead of just spending money there... so stop in and say hi! I should be the only fella with "Vern" on his shirt (if the one they ordered fits this time)

my buddy's tracker had a really small livewell in it as well, we used something like this https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/johnson-pump-ice-chest-aerator and a chest cooler to supplement the regular one, especially on really hot days.

DE (resident) MD (non resident non-tidal/bay&coastal), and VA (non resident one day) looks like I'm doing the same states this year, but because of our lake Anna trip in April VA will be the 7 day license.

biospawn exostick (red bug) weightless wacky rig on 1/0 gammy weedless finesse wide gap...

it's that time of year again, if you are on or near the eastern shore come check this out!

i have a pair of the spiderwire ones, I think I paid $5 for them off of walmart clearance rack. I bought a pair of Shadyrays last year as well (I think I paid $28) but didn't care for the fit, so I gave them to my gf's stepdad who really likes them
