Thank you brother. I appreciate your information! I've fished as a kid alot, but just threw on night crawlers or Chicken livers. I'm 40 and Just learning how to use different baits, it's discouraging and frustrating when I'm out in my kayak alone and not getting bites bcuz I don't know what bait to use. I just got a chatter bait, and was so happy to go try it, I didn't get one bite the whole 5 hours on my kayak. I need to learn more.

Picked up an Omen Black 7'3" mh extra fast action for plastics and jigs- or about anything I want to snap through the grass- very impressed so far. If it were a little shorter I'd make a frog rod out of it- that extra fast tip is perfect for walking a frog. But- fishing out of my kayak a 7'3" is just too long for froggin. But it snaps jigs through the grass perfectly- I mean spot on perfect. First pop will get it out of the grass and the second clears the bait- and if they hit it on the fall it's plenty sensitive enough to feel it. You feel their mouth shutting on your line- just a little "thump" - time to set the hook. You do have to remember it's a extra fast rod though- when you hit one you can't try to play them- you gotta bo 'em up and just grind 'em in- never stop reeling. It will unload on you "extra fast"- just like it's labeled. The cork is beautiful to- higher grade than what's on my more expensive powell rods. Not that it makes that much difference but- it's pretty. I like shiny things- like all knuckle heads- most just won't admit it. I've got an Origin LTE I'm gonna put on it- 8:1- for light pitching and/or punching and snapping stuff through vegetation. Thanks for turning me on to 13 Fishing Gene- they're really starting to come into their own I think. I saw Gerald swindle using this setup for snatching jigs through grass- one reason i grabbed it. When I saw it I realized I didn't really have a rod that would do that efficiently.

@stoneysdead6893 жыл бұрын
Amen brother... we always put too much emphasis on what lure to throw and not enough on finding the fish- which is the hardest part imo. Once I find them I can usually get them to bite multiple presentations- but finding not just a fish but an active fish without electronics or a boat to cover water- not easy. Best advice I can give you- find a spillway you can fish. 1. The water is much cooler because it's generally coming off the bottom of the lake. 2. It's full of oxygen because it's a stiff current that's hitting rocks and everything else- which puts tons of O2 in the water. and 3. They're generally pretty small and you can figure out specific spots that almost always hold an active fish who's waiting to ambush something. Not only that but- they tend to hold some monster bass- I just hooked into a 8-9 pounder few days ago at the one I fish- lost her at the bank. It broke my heart but, now I know she's there- I'm not stopping until I get her in.

Me too- rage bugs, rage craws, and jigs- or some combination of the three. In other words- they're keying on craw imitations. Kind of odd for me, I usually can't buy a bite on a craw this late in the year- I'm usually turning more to baitfish imitations by mid Aug into fall.

Could you give an apparel/accessory breakdown, for hot weather? What you would recommend or what works for you, to wear to stay cool, but protected when on the water? Shirt and shorts/pants materials, long sleeve vs short sleeve, pros/cons of buffs, hat types (ball cap, boonie, flap cap)? Could even extend to bank fisherman for protection from briars, snakes, thorn bushes that seem abundant in hot weather along water edges (thinking chaps, guards, boots vs sneakers vs water shoes).
