What time do you recommend getting in line?

Does the weigh in get completely filled up? How early should you get there if the doors open at 3:15?

I have 3 setups already... a 7' mh mod action for squarbills and shallow cranks, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, and poppers. A 7'3 mh fast action for jigs, t-rig, swimbaits, chatterbaits. And a 7'4 heavy that i just broke and am trying to replace for frogs and flipping and pitchin. The main reason I'm on budget is because i am saving up for a bass boat so i can fish tournaments. It also doesn't help that i broke my leg and haven't been to work for a month! Lol. Thanks for all the help!

Cranking is something that I rarely do. Especially deep cranking. I already have a 7' mh mod action for squarebills and anything shallower than 10 ft. I love the vursa rods because they do not have ceramic guides or anything that could break(i have broke way to many eyelets) So thats why i am going to stick with the vursa rod!

So should i just get the 7'6 heavy fast action vursa and then save up for a cranking setup?

I don't have enough money to buy a seperate rod for both frog fishing and deep cranks. The fitzgerald vursa series rod comes in a 7'6" MH mod-fast action. I mainly frog fish and its in some thick stuff. Would this rod be a good choice?

I got video of this smallie while snorkeling... it was blind in both eyes

I live near a decent size river that is dammed up in 5 different place which created 5 reservoirs. They all have submerged trees and brush. I need to get some decent electronics now so i can find them a little easier! Thanks for the input!

I am new to crankbait fishing but not fishing. I live in the northern part of michigans lower peninsula. Most of the lakes around here have soft mud and silt bottoms. I know most people crank rocks and shell beds and stuff like that. Can you fish crankbaits on those soft bottoms and be successful?
