Rare trip to BPS in Springfield today. I guess I went a little overboard with the square bills.

How do  you like the pocket frog?

I think I'll like it, haven't tried it yet. I had a regular *** frog that got lost somehow but really liked it. Thought I'd get a small version too since a couple ponds I fish a lot have a lot of smaller bass in them.

Plan on doing some uber early fishing this weekend and wanted a light with plenty of power. I figured a headlamp would be the best choice since I could handle a fish (and un hook it safely) and not worry about droping a light or placing a flashlight in my mouth. I also wanted a powerful light so when I walk up to the bank I can clearly see the ground and watch for snakes or gators at the edge or close by. After plenty of research I found what fit my needs & wants to a tee, enter the Thrunite TH10

 

Mode & Runtime: Firefly (0.2 lumens, 65 days）, Low (11 lumens, 107hours）, Medium (172 lumens, 9 hours), High (490 lumens, 178 minutes), Turbo (750 lumens, 118 minutes)，SOS(750 lumens, 270 minutes) I pretty much have my own personal sun on my four head

Excellent choices, man. All those cranks slay. I put st-41's on my rebel craws and smack em down

they killed it this weekend had an awesome experience for my first time ledge fishing caught a few over 3 pounds one over 4 and a couple smallies too.

Anyone know why "lunker hunt" (as all one word) was censored? I'm new here.

Well the question still stands, but I also just got in my TW order. A bunch of square bills, a lot of Gamakatsu hooks (EWG, weighted swimbait hooks, trailer hooks, finesse hooks, etc.). Line for my new ultralight spinning rig and my new crankbait rig. A THKO wakebait, my most expensive bait purchase and one I'm really looking forward to trying out. And a free t-shirt, yay.

I just posted this to a separate thread, but I'm pretty excited to get this reel in. As expected, first impressions are positive.

Reel cleaning supplies and some goodies from HH Studios.

I can officially say my bait money is GONE! However.... Those of you may not know the bait money has a family. I now have a relative, and he goes by the name shooter. Shooter money (like his family) makes you compulsively by gun related items. Who would of thought...

I just took advantage of a Kistler special and ordered three new KLX rods!  I may have a couple of rods for sale in the near future (Kistler Carbon Steel and St. Croix Premier).

 

Tight lines,

River2sea nest raiders showed up today. These mimic mud puppys etc.

Wiggle Warts, more Missile jigs, a bunch of RI Pocket Rockets, More War Eagles, Damiki DC 200, 300, and 400s, Megabass Magdrafts... the list goes on.

 

 

On the edge of the cliff with a Aldebaran BFS XG Limited right now. What to do?

6 Bandit squarebills, a bunch of bullet weights, some Gamakatsu round bend 4/0 worm hooks and a used Ambassadeur Record 40.

Nice haul. I need some swim bait hooks myself and that lure knocker will pay for itself many times over!

Don't jump. Step back slowly from the edge, open wallet, take a deep breath and buy said reel. Then proceed to lose countless hours of sleep waiting for its arrival.

I just got in a small cache of G2 Shellcrackers!  Now I just need to catch something on them...

Thanks. As a note I used the THKO wakebait today at lunch break. Only landed 2 fish, almost got a 3rd, but I love the action of the lure! Absolutely amazing swinging, walking motion.

Trey really hit a home run with those wakes.

I got a megabass giant dog on Amazon last night

Havoc Pit Boss & Twin Tail Grub; hard to pass up at $2.99 a pack...I love PTL, but these two styles they dont make

I just picked up a Lucky Craft LV500 in Smallmouth and a LV500GP (Blade) in Gun Metal Shad, I have always had a few Redeye Shads, and Rat L Traps, but I never had much confidence in them. My biggest Smallies have come on SM painted baits, so I figured I would try the LV500, and I thought the LV500 Spin in Gun Metal would be a good Kokanee color. We will see, I still consider myself a novice, I have caught a few big SM, and a 5# LM, but I am still learning how to fish allot of my gear.

I also picked up a new Megabass Ito Vision 110 in a "limited" edition color, Puple Tiger. https://fbcdn-photos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-0/r270/s480x480/11223596_1066050296753581_3765706911762256780_n.jpg?oh=9a9f3dc31390b10a0c9b4be606a549ad&oe=568CAEF6&__gda__=1453531504_daf8911b8afc4619180cf50fa0d10a1chope the link woks, if not do a search its a flamboyant color. I dont know it it will catch fish or not, I like collecting odd colors and Vision 110's in general.

I almost forgot, I got a Livingston Dive Master in Real Shad, it was marked down to $2.99 at a lttle gas station that has some fishing stuff. Not sure if they miss marked it, I dont know about the sound technology, but for $3 I will throw it.
