local Cabela's seems even more depressing
The people at our local Cabelas Told me only certain stores would now have the bargain cave. The bargain cave would no longer be in every store. Ours does not have a boat center. The aquarium is a small one here. We have one the smaller stores anyway they built.

Anybody else not catching anything?
One problem here is so much rain.We are on track to have our wettest year on record. The water levels have been up and down and muddy so much the fish don't know what they are supposed to be doing. The temps went from the mid to upper 80s down to low 60s and 50s. We haven't had normal weather so long we don't know what normal is anymore.

6th Sense crankbaits
I have some of the 50x square bills that run about 5' deep. I have one in a bluegill color and some in various shad colors. So far the only thing I have caught on one of them is a 5 pound drum or white perch. I will say this has not been a good year for me with any crank baits. In fact I have not gotten to fish much at all this year.

Need a Norman Crank expert assist
Saw an article a while back. The new Bandit baits were so bad and had so many complaints they had to take some old baits and make new molds from them to get them back the way they were. That tells me they are ruining them if they can. Wonder who the rocket scientist was that thought the needed to destroy something they already owned and was working really well?

Need a Norman Crank expert assist
The O P had baits from early 2000. Pradco has owned them for about 2 or 3 years now. I personally stay away from Pradco baits as much as I can. I feel like they have ruined every company they have acquired and gotten rid of all the colors that worked best for me. They usually move operations to Mexico, cheapen down the baits, and then raise the prices.

boat insurance
I have insurance on my boat. Cost is about $220 a year. I don't believe it is required here. As for what NHBull mentioned about environmental coverage I had never even heard of that. I may have to check and see what I can find out about it. I also have road side assistance in case I ever have a problem getting to or from the fishing hole.

Need a Norman Crank expert assist
Since Norman is under new ownership it will be a crap shoot on what colors they keep. Bandit also has the same new owners. They made a goby colored bait but it did not luck anything like yours.

What did you learn on the water this week?

Lipless cranks do we really need anything else?
I haven't caught anything on a lipless crank bait in about 50 years. The only lipless bait I ever caught fish was a Bayou Boogie. I know a lot of people on here never heard of them. I have some lipless baits in my tackle box but if they were gone I wouldn't miss them.

Two questions about spinnerbaits
Putting Colorado blades on the bait will be okay. I sometimes put a small Colorado blade on the clevis with a larger willow leaf on the end. I have some with 2 Colorado blades on them. I would use silver blades for clearer water and gold blades for murky water.

Night Fishing Louisville KY
As far as I know you can fish Taylorsville lake at night. I usually put in at the Chowning Lane ramp. The only time I have ever seen the gates closed was about 2 or 3 years ago after the lake came up after a lot of rain. You might want to try Guist Creek lake in Shelby county. I was there about a month ago. They charge a $6 launch fee for boats.

Quality spinning rods
Hello and welcome to the forum. I've never used a rod in the price range you are looking at so I can't help you with it.
