Yes, slumps this time of year are mainly due to cold water. I've caught 1 bass in the last 10 hrs of fishing due to cold water. If you're still slumping in May then take up gulf 😂. Seriously though, don't watch YouTube videos where they catch a bass every cast breaking through ice on a lipless..... unrealistic.

A bad contract can set a team back for years. Russ is a great guy but his success came mostly from an excellent defensive unit " the legion of boom " oh and " beast mode" ........ great team though. I don't see Denver contending for a while.

Praying for all those that are suffering this loss.

You've been a member for 18 years, impressive. Oh , Skip a few projects and get back to fishing.

Mark Grace was in a slump ? Lol Along with Ryan Sandberg ? Just kidding but definitely agree, wacky rig is a slump killer.

All my reels are Honda's, they keep running but nobody looks.😂

We need more people like you.

Impressive, congrats

So you were the only kayak and everyone else was on bass boats with outboards ?

I've been chewing tobacco for exactly 52 years and have never lost a tooth......lead can't touch this 😂. Seriously though, these labels are just like the news media, add drama and increase fear. Don't worry be happy.

Welcome to Bass resources

I use an Onyx M-24, the M stands for manual operation and wear it year around. I got the wife the MA-24 ( manual / auto ) And keep hers on auto. I can't fish with the old school puffed up vests. 😃

I'm in a pretty good rut myself as I've been tying the Palomar knot for 50 years. Braid to leader I've only ever used the Alberto. If it ain't broke I don't try to fix it. 😃

Will be following this. Wife and I are off to Maine in July for our 1st visit, Bar harbor is our 1st stop and came highly recommended.

Surprised your research didn't lead you to the Shimano SLX , fantastic reel for $100.

Wind is and always will be my #1 consideration when planning a trip..... less is best for this guy and way to many reasons to list as to why I don't like fishing in wind.

Hope it gets extinguished and nobody harmed. We're under a high wind alert.

It's really about water temps but flowers are pretty. I'm heading out Monday hoping for at least 50* water temps.

Under $100 for drop shot is endless, seriously.

Jigs - Jerkbaits - Spinnerbaits - Square bills - T-rig Zoom lizards.

Rapala filet board keeps fingers out of the way but wife cleans all the fish. All I do is kill them because the wife hates an acrobatic fish with a knife in her hand 😂

Easiest way I've found to lower the MP'S To make the pic exceptable for this site. Take the pic on your phone at a slight distance then hit the photo, click edit and crop to enlarge the pic with your fingers...... works every time on Android.

Sounds like a Carolina rig where the swivel never enters a guide. But as far as braid to flouro leader, I've only used an Alberto knot, never tried anything else. My flouro leaders are almost always 6-7ft long and pass through the guides very well.

Interesting boat, haven't seen one quite like. Enjoy it and be safe.

So this is what a quick clean looks like 😳 So what I'm doing is basically a steam clean...... impressive
