Was out fishing last night. Caught fireworks from the lake. More than worthwhile but the fishing was nothing to write home about. Just a few small fish and I had to use a spinning rod to catch em

Perfect response

one of my favorite things to do around here is take a zoom ultravibe speed craw and put it on a small flipping hook with 0.75-1.25oz weight and 65lb braid. I don’t know if that’s considered “power finesse” but taking a smaller bait and putting it on heavy tackle works good for me Hey Gim I just want you to know that I really love dropshotting. I think of you every time I do it, too

Most fun is topwater Most effective is dropshot

I will be venturing out to fish at night this weekend and heat is the main reason

I appreciate the suggestions on the Geecrack Neko Hack. I ordered a couple sizes

@casts_by_fly I don’t use a ring

I use a lot of Invisx for braid to leader. Offers more stretch but also holds up well. If it gets scraped up some, I don’t always think about retying. Knot strength is high. Value is great. For topwater I like big game.

Fishing fans, I have had quite a bit of luck copying a neko rig that Easton Fothergill states he has used. Strike King 6.5 in finesse worm with that ryugi talisman hook. While it works good, I am looking for a tougher worm! Something that holds the hook a little better. I still want it to be a trick worm style worm about 6-7in. A little fatter is okay but I don't want it to lose that slim profile. Flat bottom is good. Any suggestions?

Got one 6.94lbs on a Heddon One Knocker. Broad daylight, open water.

I’m with @king fisher I take my time playing fish in the yak, usually. Of course, if you are in cover, then you have to get them out to open water before you can play the fish. If I don’t tire them out, they show up boat side with a ton of energy, where I have less control. I do make liberal use of a net when I need it.

I’ll send one later. Pat and Jake are coming to fish it later today

I’m back home in North Carolina right now on leave from work. Some of you may be familiar with “Ol Muddy”, which is a small pond that my family and I fish somewhat frequently when I’m home. My Mom caught a new “record” out of it on Sunday. The biggest we’ve pulled out of it. 6.86lbs. She was using a green pumpkin magic senko. Hopefully @Pat Brown and possibly @FishTax and I get on some fish soon, too.

Stands for margarita mutilator I think. Couldn’t tell you why that company decided margarita mutilator was so important of a name they had to attach a “III” suffix to one color. I also have no idea what it means to be a margarita mutilator. Might as well call that color “peanut butter jelly time” because that’s what it reminds me of. All that aside I love that color. MMIII / 10. Good show
