I have a Pelican Bass Raider 10 that I run forward facing sonar on. I have the Lowrance Eagle Eye 9 and the Lowrance Hook Reveal 9 TS mounted on a deck I built and also have my trolling motor mounted to the deck. That being said my deck space is extremely limited. I am only able to comfortably bring 6 rods, so I choose wisely on what I bring for the body of water I am fishing. Luckily my boat is designed specifically for the waters I fish and my tackle is too. This time of year I currently bring a frog rod, a jig rod, a cranking stick, a spinnerbait/bladed jig rod, and 2 spinning rods, one with either a fluke or senko, and the other one has my minnow that's either on a standard jig head or hover rig. If the topwater bite is on I usually tie a walking bait on to my cranking stick and a popper on to one of my spinning rods. I think 6 rods on the deck is more than enough if you know the water you are fishing. Even if it is a new body of water you could usually do just fine with 6 combos. I will sometimes throw an extra reel with braided line on the boat and could switch it to one of my rods if I need to.

Thank you! Just finished reading yours and A-Jay's thread on SMB. I'm mind blown lol

Thanks Bazoo!

Thanks Darren!

Hey thanks A-Jay, I just finished reading one of your threads about targeting SMB. What treasure chest of knowledge. I'm going to try to put those tactics to use down here in New Jersey.

WOW those are some nice footballs. I just read this whole thread, what a massive amount of information. Thank you! I will try applying these techniques in my neck of the woods.

Thanks Ruckasack and thanks for the info.

Hey Thanks Mike.

Good afternoon all! My name is George, I'm 36 years old and I have been fishing on and off the last 30 years. I grew up fishing the Passaic and Pompton rivers and local ponds in Bergen and Hudson county. I recently moved to Sussex County very close to Cranberry Lake and Lake Musconetcong. I'm always looking for new places to fish and learn from other anglers. I also enjoy helping other anglers make the most of their time on the water. I look forward to interacting with you other anglers. Tight lines!
