I used a 1/8 road runner, a 1/10th and 1/6th zman ned head. The lurres are 3" keitechs "ghost trout" "pro blue red pearl" and "bluegill flash". I'd recomend sticking to the lightest weight you feel safe with. I super glue the shank then finish threading keitech on and letting the super glue set. In doing so they will last alot longer, till the tail comes off or I get it stuck on cover and have to break my line. So far gorilla glue seems to be the best bet, It's the only one I have used where it dosnt dry up in the bottel and I have bin able to get multiple uses out of it.

I was casting around trying to find fish when I saw ripples off to my right towards the middle of the river I was fishing. He swirled once, I casted to far right and missed, I quickly realed in as he turned on the school again and he inhaled a 3" keitech almost as soon as it hit the water!

The crappie were inhaling the 3" keitechs!

Most of the small bass had red lips, that's sign of them picking up food off the bottom right?

First fish of the 2023 season and 3rd cast in! Feels like this is going to be a good year.

This could possibly be my last bass of 2022! Spent 4 1/2 hours just looking for a bite or pattern. Water ice cold so I was beginning to doubt i would catch a fish but decided to keep on trucking. Thankfully this little football took a 1/8 white roadrunner with a small white/red straight taill.

My first ever pond bass, caught him fishing a frisky frog on 1/16th(?) Jig head.

My second biggest bass of 2022 and first bass at medicine creek! After multiple trips getting skunked I got one to bite!

My first bass on a kicking frog.

My personal best and biggest fish of 2022! Caught him sight fishing the shoreline at letra. Used a trd crawz, molting craw color, ned lockz jig head.

My first fish on a whopper plopper, size was a 90 and color was bone.

My first fish off my inflatable SUP, and my first bass ever at LETRA.

My first ever frog fish

My first fish on a zoom toad, and first fish on a soft plastic frog.

One of the first culprits to something I haven't seen being used yet. A finnese technique that you can use to sight fish bass, will giving the lure the most action possible. It's just a simple twist lock on a circle or octopus hook with a weightless bait attached to the twist lock and keaping the hook exposed. I have had succes from the bank but I can see this being helpfull when you could see them patroling the shore line, or when your fishing spawning bass.

Something i have bin trying out that I haven't ever really seen yet. I saw a twist lock had fallen into my circle hooks, when I went to get it out this idea came to me. It's a finnese technique for sight fishing bass. It has helped give the worm the most action possible as well as keeping from having the hook tear up the worm as mutch. I have only tested with a zoom worm, but I'm planing on trying difrnt lures and sizes, as well as difrnt size hooks. Could also possibly help if your drop shoting and want to try something new. I fished it weightless on 6 or 8lb test. As for the few fish I have caught using this rig, they were all able to easily take the bait and I have yet to gut hook a fish. If it dosnt exist yet, im considering calling it a "freestyle rig" or something of the sort, because it gives the lure complete freedom to do its thing.
