Swarming hornet fish head spin

Prayers sent and hoping you get well soon

Today is the last day in the high 90’s until at least nextJuly here in Georgia.thank goodness that it’s leaving us.time to pull out the 1/4 oz rattle traps and no.5 and no.7 shadraps as the bait will move back into creek mouths.what a nice change in the weather for us.wer’e looking at highs in the seventies for quite awhile now which will set up some good bass fishing for us

He throws a bps blue swipeworm alot on his recent shows.it’s a knockoff of the stembridge fliptail.

I’m running a 2004 TV-18 with a 150 Mercury that is one of the most comfortable boats i’ve Had.I restored the carpet and seats myself and hung a 80 pound thrust Ultrex on it.50 mph through the chop and comfortable gets it done for me these days and it’s paid for.i’ve never Had an issue with the hull.from what i’ve Seen and heard out of the new models they’ve really improved them.Not the best boats out there but for the money a good buy imo.

This

Because it’s the best sport in the world

I was watching yesterday when Stephen Browning got his chatterbait hung up on a log ,trying to pop it loose and all of a sudden a 2 pounder grabs it off the log and swims off with it.He knew he had it going on with a killer bite.

Nice !

If it makes em bite I will.

Big Game is the deal for me on baitcasters.you can fish it in every water column with confidence once you get used to it and it won’t cost you a fortune.if you fish a lot each week just respool with fresh line as needed.

I grew up lucky enough to have a pond about 200 yards east and another about the same distance west of our house.we didn’t own them but were given permission to fish em.i learned to appreciate the outdoors and got hooked on fishing.we used bamboo cane poles and then upgraded to zebco 33 combos

Iv’e not caught a bass in every state.gotta get busy on that.

Use a Carolina keeper or bobber stopper and bypass the knots

Another retired Contractor / Carpenter here.i’m 63 and sold all my trucks and most of my equipment & hung it up at 59.i kept my tools as I still do shop work.i had had it with trying to keep help.i was lucky to keep good help for as I long as I did.agree with Hammers take on it.Hit the nail on the head!

Academy is my go to store since my favorite mom & pop tackle store closed this year.the only time I hit bps anymore would be an emergency must have tackle situation.not a bps fan.

Yep

Zoom red bug is one of my favorites year round

Seems like a bad spool.Yozuri Hybrid is a proven good line.

Happy 4th

Iv’e got several Magellans and really like em.i’ll be getting some more

Here lately it’s been a fat max 7.5 red shad for me.

Congratulations Toxic. My wife is retiring today as a matter of fact to join me in this wonderful group.We plan to head north in the fall to fish some Tennessee and Kentucky lakes so we might see you on the water somewhere.Good fishing
