Thought it had way to much memory. But then again, I found a spool in my garage that had been there for ever so that’s on me. Hate to say it but the old 10lb Berkley mono has been fantastic on my crankbait rod.

Throw what you have confidence in. Work at what you don’t have confidence in. I throw jigs on spinning gear, 8 ft rod and braid no leader and haven’t had issues catchin’em. Contrary to what most think, it’s not the feeling with the right hand that’s funky (to right handlers) it’s working the rod with the left hand/arm. I throw both casting and spinning every time all the time. These two didn’t seem to care

T-rig worm...I know, I know it’s like saying no to Pizza but since I found this thing called a jig, my hands just can’t seem to reach for the worms.

So YOU want to catch them on GP, but the fish don’t want it (in your words) Fish what you want and don’t catch them or fish what they want and catch them. This should be a simple answer

Learn how to trailer, launch, and re trailer your boat! Especially by yourself.

Fish the conditions more than the bait. Water temp, air temp, wind, cloud cover all need to be taken into effect. Also if on the bank, casting straight out (unless you know of something being there) will not result into more fish. Work the banks from the bank. Treat it like it’s spot lock on a trolling motor. 20-30 minutes or casts with nothing, move. Lastly, don’t bring senkos with you on your next trip.

On that side of the bridge not sure. Lake Tarpon isn’t very far on the other side.

Spinnerbait and jig are always in the starting rotation. Overcast and windy, all the rods get one tied on.

Have some offspring. That’ll cure this.

No bites in a month or so?! Something ain’t right that’s bigger than weather. Did you catch them at the same ponds before? On the same bait?

^”we want it!! What does she do down there...”

They have this thing when other humans have boats and fishing poles too and they have a competition to see who catches the most weight. It’s called a tournament. You should look into it.

You go from belly aching about a guy who thinks he’s Van Dam to saying your a natural..since June. I bet you two are a riot to fish with. I’d pay to watch.

I’ve seen the jig as the best bait to cover both. We all fish for “lots of big ones” no matter what we say.

The pressure you feel when you got drunk and watched the game over washing the cars.

8 ft saltwater rod with OHero 3000 reel. 20lb power pro...catchin’em

It’s all a confidence thing and palecbo effect. Honestly. If you think it makes a difference, it does.

Make him buy the beer. Beer is the great equalizer. Through the history of time. I think that’s in the book of Numerator

You got it..the magic lure is called a fish finder. You want a real deal fishing tournament? Hidden lake, everyone has the exact same baits, boats and knowledge. Ain’t happening

Anything that’s not an animal on the other doesn’t pull. It sticks. Like I tell my 8 year old, if your the only one pulling, it ain’t a fish. But until you figure out what to feel for, set the hook anyway.

You don’t know what this does for me! I’ve never caught a smallmouth (Florida) but I’ve caught more fish on a 1/4 strike king itsy with a GY paddle tail than ANYTHING. And I mean ANYTHING. Dudes around here look at me crazy because there’s not a craw on my jig. I thought I was alone with this....

I’m usually surrounded by ignorance, so trees are easy. After a while, that’s not gonna be fun fishing there..been there, did that, unless your pulling out 18 double digit bass in a hour, the juice isn’t probably worth the squeeze. But yeah, spinning gear, light line so you can pitch and flip easy

There’s this thing called a senko. Bass seem to like them..

Never fished anywhere outside of the state of Florida so I could catch a bluegill in Valdosta and be good. I’m going to catch a smallmouth and a walleye somewhere and purchase an 18 pack of PBR and update my Facebook. That’s happening

Haha^! Sometimes folks forget they are animals like us. They’re generally a little tougher to break than that. While your worried about the slime coat, the dude on the bridge sitting on a bucket with a cane pole and night crawler is letting them die on the asphalt until he’s ready to bring them home for dinner. Weigh’em. High five. Put them back. Fairly simple process
