Golf...
Been on a journey obsessed with golf. Everything has finally clicked with the swing mechanics and understanding of the game. For my golfers here, how long did it take with consistent practice to break 100, 90, and 80?

Some nice bass being caught! @king fisher making me want to move! Went out last Friday for an hour here was the nicest one. She was in about a foot of water. The lake level was super high. Didn't see a bed around but she had a bloody tail. Been a bit frustrating dumping a lot of nicer bass when they come up and jump.

Mepps spinners
Totally forgot about the Mepps. Used them all the time on the rivers and gravel pits in upstate NY. My dad always swore by the Comet. The thunder bug and Aglia were awesome too.

Fun day out yesterday. 100 degree days the last week. Red ear and the gills are staged up roaming and seen some of their beds already fanned out. Lots of fry guarders out with the largemouth. Was skipping a keitech around and paralleling the reeds. Biggest of the day was 4.6 Got a few smaller bass drop shotting some deeper grass. The bass have been amped up my 7:3 reel is barely keeping up. Lost 5.

TheReelTest trolls the new Tatula 100 into oblivion. Simply disgusting. I cannot believe it!
TheReelTest? Never heard of her. As far as SV Boost, yeah my boost reels might cast a little bit farther. Barely.

Had the bass fever last night. Only 1 on the Gigantarel. Been a neglected lure in the box. Going to try it around the bluegill beds soon.

Favorite Lures
Luckycraft Sammy. Love those topwater bites. Flippin a Texas rig. Big glide baits. Always cool watching them eat. Watched two largemouth crush my bullshooter and had both hooked. Only landed one.

Which lipless crankbait?
I've had the most success with the Duo Realis G fix lipless. I can fish them deep. They get out of the grass great with the violent rips needed. They usually don't foul as much as others, or hang a treble hook on my line. I'll fish the Bill Lewis in really gnarly rock because of their lower price point. Caught one of my biggest bass on the Lewis. Had quite a bit of success with the 6th Sense ones too.

Went to Bill Williams river today to get a couple on a new reel. Miles of tullies and lay downs to fish.

Spro KGB Shad 180
The bait monkey is calling my name for more glide baits. Anyone using it and have some long term use pros and cons? Would be much appreciated! I'm on the fence with ordering a few or getting some slideswimmer 250s and bullshooters from Japan.

What’s your thoughts on trimming jig skirts?
Trim in the winter. Long in the summer. Totally contradicts speedo season.

PB Bass Lure Thread
Fred Arbogast AC Plug from the Walmart clearance section. Skipped school 25 years ago to go fishing. 7lb 3oz largemouth. Would love to thank the guy that helped me net it and had his scale. Had a smallie at 5lb even on an ayu color keitech with underspin. Any kids reading this don't skip school. Get good grades. Become an engineer. Lower back and joint pain sucks from laborer jobs!

Do bass follow lures?
Fished a lot of glide baits. They will definitely follow the big baits. Whenever I fish an 8 or 10" magdraft they are guaranteed to follow and never ever bite! Ever!

Couldn't sleep and wanted to break in a new reel last night. Skipping weightless senkos around for a couple dinks. Side note the Alphas SV 800s does really good! Should be a really good post spawn bite soon on the senko when they are finicky.

My little tricks to catch more bass. What are yours?
Always check your drag setting prior to fishing on every setup you are using for the day. I always loosen my drag completely when reels aren't in use. Nothing worse than a slipping drag on a good hook set. Religiously check line for nicks and abrasions throughout the day. Retie often. Largemouth are lazy so work your angles of your presentation. You might get a bite running your bait by cover a little differently. Be mindful if you are using say a 7:3.1 or 8:1 ratio in the winter or colder water to slow it way down.

55-57 degree water temps, need help
Another member posted about the I-boating navionics maps and I highly recommend studying your body of water. Try to guesstimate the routes the bass will take to stage up to spawn. Large swimbaits over the trees, jigs, slow roll spinnerbaits bumping trees. Square bills, medium diving cranks. Suspending jerkbait over the trees. Jika rig is one of my favorites too.

My daughter picked up baitcasting and learned in just a couple minutes. Shout out to Digitaka for fast shipping. Got her an Alphas SV TW 800s for senkos, wacky rig and light weight presentations.

Went out Friday morning. Caught a few dinks on keitechs. The weatherman should be fired. 15mph winds came up. In frustration I paddled as hard as I could into some tullies out of the wind. Flipped a Jika rig around and long casted through sparse tullies. Spawn is definitely in bloom now.
