FLORIDA summertime slump
Start flippin and punching if it’s present at that lake. Off shore grass as well. If the grass is healthy there is always fish there. Now, getting them to bite is a different post.

We’re you moving? Over about 7 mph my livewell will not pump water in

Don't feel bad....
More expensive stuff tends to last longer…I know, I know the reel your grandpa gave you has never been oiled spent a decade on the bottom of the lake and still casts like a dream. However, if you fish a lot, on average, the better brands last longer.

Interesting experience at BPS yesterday....this ever happen to you?
Hell yeah! All the time. I want to go fishing not looking at fishing stuff. If they sold extra hours in a day instead of pieces of plastic with hooks on it, I’d be there

Popper Help
Use them when you hear fish feeding on top water. (Try to) Match the sound and speed of said feeding. Using them when only when you ‘should’ use them is overrated. Top water is a ‘talk to me’ bait for me. If they’re talking I throw it. If not, back to your regular standard programming. *light braid will only get wrapped around the hooks on the perfect cast. And if they’re really schoolin then it’ll get stuck in the split ring. If they’re really, really schoolin it’ll get stuck in the carpet on the bottom of the boat*

Dog eating trying to eat fish that I catch
Also sounds like that invisible fence is like those invisible calories my wife consumes.

Bass chasing shad, what do you throw
Biggest thing when they’re schooled up or in a wad get ANYTHING on them. Keep a ‘schoolin’ set up always ready. Mine is usually a Pop R or some type of walking bait.

Too much tackle…what would you use?
Find what works..buy more of that. Don’t forget a lot of those guys we see fish for a living and fish from the Great Lakes to Florida and California so they have to have a wide variety. You probably don’t. Find something the fish bite and buy that.

I’ve never caught a fish non- live bait
I wouldn’t throw anything that’s not a worm. Ive read somewhere that large mouth bass will attempt to eat them mistakenly thinking it’s an actual part of the forage.

The last minute fishing trip, and a really BIG spider.

When do you favor a popper?
Listen to the sound of the bass hitting the bait on top..does it sound like a popper? A buzz bait? A walker? Seriously try to match that sound.

Does the time of day matter for a whopper plopper?
I don’t know about time of day but I have a 3 pop minimum. If I hear 3 top water hits within 5-10 minutes, it’s getting thrown. Yes, and that one random pop you hear not close to anyone or anything counts...

Line for first baitcaster
I’d agree with the all the above Mono go 15-17 Braid I’d go 30-65. Light braid (10-20) isn’t friendly for just starting out Once you get dialed in, you’ll know what you like and don’t

Yikes! 5 pound wins it. That’s when you pull-up along side a pontoon and ask for anything with alcohol in it.
