No...You need way points that you cannot establish on a single trip. More importantly, ledge fishing is something we do in the summer.

Reels make the "fishing" more fun.

Good swim jig trailer,

Not fluorocarbon for cranking. I prefer #11 Sunline Shooter Defier Armilo. http://www.sunlineamerica.com/shooter-defier-armilo/

Right now it's all about structure around the mouth of the cove and secondary points. When you first come out of the harbor at JP Coleman, fish the wind dyke first. Coleman hosts tournaments year around, so that area is restocked every week. The Rig is your friend!

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard!

Man, those look like Southern "Crappy".

Indian Creek, Bear Creek and Panther Creek.

On some soft plastics a dab of JJ's chartreuse on the tail or tips. Otherwise, MegaStrike has been in my bag for more than a decade.

Nice fish, GREAT pics!

Yes, it certainly does to me.

The Rage Swimmer won the Classic this year. Why would you throw any other paddletail?

Try it in store to see if it matches up for you.

Here in the Mid South they are forecasting up to a foot of rain this week.

A garbage bag is a real solution. Not pretty, but totally effective.

OMG! Beautiful!
