Information overload- Need Advice.

Featured Replies

I am planning on going out tomorrow morning, and I am trying to get my tackle in order and get my rods setup before I go out.  My problem is I think that I am over analyzing things too much and I can't get a good game plan organized.  I am limited to only three rods due to space constraints so I plan on throwing a topwater bait early in the AM, I also plan on having a weightless Senko on a spinning rig and then I plan on taking my C-Rig set up as well.  The water temp last time I was out, 2 weeks ago, was in the mid to upper 70s, stained water, with cattail along the bank and submerged standing timber in another area of the lake.

Any suggestions?

Rather than a Senko and a C-rig, I would store the C-rig in a ziplock bag for easy access and start with that rig set up with a shallow crank (Bomber Square A or Bagley BII). Sometimes the shallow crank works better than topwater early, in low light. When you decide to go deep, your C-rig is a quick change and I would also have a Gitzit handy.

The rod that I was going to use for the topwater is my St Croix Med/fast, which I pretty much use as my all around rod, so if the topwater is not working I can quickly switch to crankbait with that rod. My C-rig rod is a 7-6 MH Team Daiwa rod with 50# power pro on it, I am trying to keep that one almost exlusively set up for C-Rig because this summer it is my goal to learn to fish it better, and if it is always rigged I don't have the excuse to not fish it.

I don't have any Gitzits but I do have some Zoom Tubes and Zoom Centipedes.

Gitzit...I just meant a tube.

That is what I thought, will have them ready to go.
