YUM soft plastics are great and very reasonably priced. Lunkerhunt lures are also a very good budget product.

Booyah Hardknocker lipless crankbait, Berkley Pitbull, and Berkley Bad Shad. These shoud get you started off right.

I bought the Ocean Kayak Malibu II XL Angler last year through Cabelas. It's 13.5 feet long, and 35 inches wide. It comes with two padded seats and two rod holders because its large enough for two, but seats can be removed to fish solo also. Great Kayak. Only Weighs 75 lbs. I bought the Thule 883 Glide and Set rooftop kayak carrier for it. Works great and no problems transporting it on my Subaru Outback. The Glide and Set even makes it easy to load and unload on my own.

It's all just a matter of confidence. Whatever search bait you have the most confidence in, is the one you should throw first.

Booyah spinnerbaits are my favorite.

I fish from a kayak and the bank. Just bought a new Spiderwire tackle bag in January. It comes with 5 storage boxes and there is room to add more. It also has plenty of storage pockets for hooks, pliars, line, extra soft plastic packs, etc. Highly recommend!

Lifetime is a good brand. If you can get that kayak for $199 then jump all over it.

Weightless senko, spinnerbait, and lipless crankbait.

I would suggest bank fishing from smaller ponds and getting away from the larger bodies of water.

It's much harder to bank fish on a lake because I feel limited in the area I can fish. I much prefer ponds when bank fishing. I suggest an affordable kayak so you can get the best of both worlds.

Use braided line and don't fill the spool as much.

I catch bigger fish during the spawn, but I catch more fish in the summer. Early mornings in the summer is my favorite time to fish.

Booyah Hard Knocker lipless crankbait. Berkley Pit Bull square bill crankbait. Berkley Bad Shad crankbait. Booyah black colorado blade spinnerbait. Rebel Pop-R.

It's pretty simple folks. If someone is on their dock, don't fish it! If someone is fishing from the bank, then move along and don't disrupt their fishing! If you are not an accurate caster then don't cast close to someones boat that is docked!

Texas rig or weightless

Early morning I like the Rebel Pop-R, Booyah Buzzbaits, Wakebaits, Frogs and Toads. Afternoon I like Texas rig or weightless worms, craws, and critters. Evenings surface lures are good and black spinnerbaits work well at night.

I always used the lighter setups like that when wading small streams and rivers.

I really like the Booyah hard knocker and one knocker!

With color just match the color to the forage the bass are feeding on. Also, biologists have said that red and blue are the two colors bass can see the best.

I used to be a Quantum guy, but bought a Lew's casting rod and reel last year and now I'm hooked! Can't go wrong with any Lew's products. Lew's is all I'll buy from now on. I have two casting Lew's rod and reels, and one spinning Lew's rod and reel. I love them all.

Early spring here in Kentucky I throw a lipless crankbait. Once the water gets to about 60 degrees though you can start throwing just about anything. For Catfish I always like chicken livers.

Can't go wrong with any Lews product.
