AEP is awesome, I have a float tu e that I hike in with and have caught some really nice largies out of those ponds! The big one for me down there was just shy of 7#, still trying to top it, I believe if the state record is ever broken it will come from those ponds. Beautiful and peaceful for sure!

Good bass fishing, an hour and 45 minutes. Just bass fishing 15 minutes, Ohio lakes suck so I have to drive to Southern Ohio to the strip ponds with my float tube for good bass fishing.

You live in the same area my younger brother lives in, also my mother. My brother fishes all the places you fish, he loves the river for sure. I get to fish up there once a year with him for about a week. Beautiful area with all the water around there.

My goal is to get better at fishing out of the boat. I have fished from shore my whole life for the most part, until July of 2019. I didn't have a lot of time last year to really learn how to fish out of my new boat. This year I am hoping to learn all the nuances of fishing from a boat. Also to figure out one lake that is local that I have fished since I was a kid.

Well that counts as a good day in my book!!!

I was also thinking that too. Like the rod locker space, most of my rods are too long for it anyways so it doesn't really get used, plus that would center the weight in the boat from the batteries. Haven't quite decided which I want to do probably the smaller tank on mine, think the batteries up front would be too much weight for the 9.9 to get up on plane!

This is my thinking also with my Tracker! I am thinking of taking the gas tank out of there and putting a smaller one in to make room for another battery. My boat only has a 9.9 on it so I really don't need the 18 gallon tank in my boat!

I have great luck with the NED rig for largemouth! T rig a tube and use it for a flipping bait sometimes, they seem to like that also!

Football head jigs are not the best for woody areas, those heads are made more to roll over rock and hard bottom more. The only time I go to the super heavy trig is when it is thick grass, try to use the lightest weight whenever possible as I feel it lets it stay in the strike zone longer!

If I am flipping jigs they are usually 3/8 oz. When flipping Trigs in them I use 3/16 oz weights the most, either a beaver style plastic (SK rodent, RI sweet beaver), or a craw style bait (Jackall Archelon, Zoom UV speed craw). Hooks (EWG), jig head style probably an Arkie style head! Hope that helps you a little. And by no means is this how everyone else does it, just my way of doing it!

It sure is purty! I am sure some big ol bucketmouth will eat it! If nothing else my wife would make me buy it cause it is pink. haha

I caught a sweatshirt and my dad caught a boot within 5 minutes of each other one night catfishing. My dad looked at me and said let's go somewhere else before we start hooking into body parts!?

Well done to whoever gave this kid the magic of fishing!

Oh thanks for the heads up on the other public groups!!! Cause I need the chance to win more tackle and stuff!?

This is exactly what I meant by it. Sorry if I upset someone! Geesh

that's true! with work its hard to go when the time is right. You just have to hope! What are you talking about? The time is always right!?

I look at the one they have on In-Fisherman once in a great while, but I don't schedule my fishing by that.

I'm in

I really like the Berkley cranks, not over the top in price, and good hooks.

Mine is usually Ned or wacky for shallower water! Dropshot for deeper, just my way. Ned and wacky take too long to sink, that is why I tend to use those in shallow water. Dropshot can be weighted differently so if fishing deeper water I can use a 3/8 oz weight to get it down faster!

Me also! But I know it is a losing battle!?

Oh well if they don't then I won't have to buy any for awhile! Lol?

I use two wheel drive truck to haul my boat! Haven't had any issues knock on wood. I just put it down in creeper gear to get the boat and trailer out of the water!

Don't know for sure but couldn't find them on the Jackall website. So that was the first thing that popped in my head.
