I’m a river guy anyways, but would consider any current worth fishing. Fish are nearly always drawn to flow in some way or another. In summer, I’d 100% fish any current in a lake

Fisherman become as skilled as they want to be. They fish as simple or complicated as they want. I’m good all around fishing, period. I’m newer to bass hardcore, but not having any trouble because I’m a fisherman, not just a bass fisherman. It’s rare I can’t get it done if I go, new water or not. I can read water and just have strong observation skills

I’d put 15lb braid with 10lb leader on your spinning rig and 20lb braid with 12lb leader on your caster. You could bump up on both if needed for leader. Both sizes of braid have very small diameter and will cast and feel very solid for you.
