Alright, thanks!

Gotcha, then I'd go with 8 foot, medium heavy fast, 2 piece rod. I don't know if you'll be able to get something to handle big baits in more than two pieces.

I was fishing a private pond in Shawnee, about 5 minutes away from smp, and notice that there were a couple balls of fry?!?!? I go to the pond at least once a week, and I've seen bass come up to make beds, but haven't seen a single bass on a bed. The bluegill are on beds though. I pitched a jig into the fry and didn't catch anything, and also threw a frog over top of the fry, nothing happened. There is a bass making a bed by a dock, but he isn't close to being locked on yet. Do you guys think the fry were bass or gill fry? I can't believe they've spawned already (cause of the crazy weather), if it is bass fry. There are catfish, crappie, different kinds of gills, koi, and wipers(sterile). Could it be another one of these, other than the wipers? Thanks!

No problem, are you looking for a two piece rod or do you want a one piece?

Cabelas Brand: https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-graphite-series-muskie-casting-rod $50 Bass Pro Shops Brand: https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-predator-musky-casting-rod $100 Look at the specs for both rods, some of them come it two pieces. The cabelas brand ISN'T available in two pieces. The rods won't come in 2 pieces if the action is above medium heavy, but the medium heavy(2-piece) is rated to handle the lures you want to throw on them. I'd go with the 8 foot, medium heavy fast, 2 piece rod, since you going to be traveling with it.

Yeah My buddies and I are out of school, so we are going fishing tuesday! Beating that memorial weekend crowd. I feel bad that it is still cold for you up there.

I want

Bluegill/gills for me. Frogs, swim jigs, jigs, chatterbaits, swimbaits, jerkbaits, kinda the same stuff you throw all the time, just in gill colors.

Oh okay, I just misinterpreted that, sorry. LOL

What is wrong with them? I wanted to get some but if they aren't any good, I'll stay away. I've got the strike king swimming worms.

Booyah makes a good popping and walking frog, my buddy swears by snag proof frogs, that will be the next one I buy. The toadrunner is a cool little frog too. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/catpage-SNAGPROOF.html?from=basres https://discounttackle.com/products/booyah-pad-crasher-2-1-2-inch-hollow-body-frog?_pos=1&_sid=047b96511&_ss=r Combo pack: https://discounttackle.com/products/booyah-pad-crasher-2-1-2-inch-hollow-body-frog?_pos=1&_sid=047b96511&_ss=r https://discounttackle.com/products/booyah-toadrunner-hollow-body-frog?_pos=3&_sid=047b96511&_ss=r This is frog is a little bigger but walks like a dream, and is very soft for good hookups: https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/catpage-SVGBTS.html?from=basres

Booyah has a good one. The dollar walmart spinnerbaits are good, the swivel needs to be upgraded though. I bought a strike king finesse spinnerbait and the head was all messed up so I won't be getting another one.

Thanks for the info! I'll keep it in mind as we continue are crusade against the moles!

Everyone is going to stop showing up to fish these ? Great job! What was big bass?

Never had allergies before this year. Was coughing, sneezing, runny nose. It sucked.

Fishing a little creek in the middle of nowhere Kansas, about a month ago. Caught this lmb swimming a ned rig. Caught my first topwater fish of the year(a spotted bass), swimming a eeliminator on top. That the creek even had spots which really surprised me. Caught over 25 fish in the two days I was there. Also got the worst backlash of my life, minus an entire spool of red label ?. There was enough line to cast halfway across the creek, so I kept fishing!
