I wish I had the same abilities!

This is exactly what I'm talking about. I feel like you get to a point where you throw so much stuff you start forgetting what you used XD

I have gotten to the point now where when I'm going back to try out some of my old fishing rigs, I sometimes forget the hook size or bait size for such-and-such rig or setup. I recently started a Google Doc on what exactly I was using when finding success with my rigs, like a Texas rig with the exact weight and size Rage Bait I was using. I highly suggest to anyone who has a rig they like to do the same. Or what do you do to remember your setups for rigs?

I have had great success finding a bank that is not very shallow, only about 8 feet deep, and using my trolling motor to gain some speed, then just coasting out to deeper water with the dropshot behind. Caught 4 in a row one time with this method.

Your username is amazing 😂😂

I'm going to practice casting smoothly sidearm with my baitcaster. It's just the habit of using the spinning reel I need to be able to switch off when I pick up the baitcaster.

Updated it. I have been reading this forum for probably 2 years but just never made an account. I haven't seen a lot of people on here from my area, but anything helps!

You might be under punishment for saying this.😂

It's called fishing, not catching 😂Keep at it. EVERYONE has days like you had. It's taken me 2 months to find what's working post-spawn and get a groove again. Better luck next time!

This might possibly be the best response I have ever read. I appreciate your help with this. I'm going to put into practice everything you just said. I just realized I have the habit of flicking with my baitcaster. I'm also thinking my Dobyns might be too heavy for what I'm throwing. Very well done response. I appreciate it!

Hello I'm seeking some advice/helpful tips on my rods and reels. I currently have 2 main use poles one is the lews mach 1 that I use mostly for dropshot and honestly have had absolutely no problems with. I do wish it was possibly a little bit more sensitive feel for dropshot. The second is a Shimano SLX XT 151 on a Dobbins rod. FYI I have never used a baitcaster before this one and I'm almost wishing I got a DC I cannot figure this thing out. I fish alone and I just don't really know if I'm missing out on anything I should know about rods and reels. Any help would be mush appreciated 👍
